New configuration header file to include/ exclude functionality.
Extracted privileged features from struct proc and create new struct priv.
Renamed various system calls for readability.

Ben Gras f96645a4eb Fixed a bug in kstrncpy() that caused mayhem whenever the buffer to be
copied into was the same size as the source string - it will keep on
filling with zeroes forever. This was a signed/unsigned bug, fixed by
making the kstrncpy argument ssize_t instead of size_t. This bug was
triggered by Chris Young <teddga@earthlink.net>, by dazzling coincedence -
changing OS_VERSION into something with one more character (exactly the
same size as the buffer in the kinfo struct).

Also noticed that the kstrncpy() call didn't null-terminate the strings
if necessary, also fixed.

Ben Gras 42050e39f8 kernel and servers send diagnostic messages to IS; IS sends them to TTY
and the new log driver if enabled.

new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.

Jorrit Herder e0a98a4d65 * Fixed bug relating to nested locking in interrupt handlers. The nested lock
caused interrupts to be reenabled (due to unlock), which caused a race. The
problems were especially visible on slower machines.
* Relocated free memory parsing to process manager. This saved quite some
code at the kernel level. Text size was reduced by about 650 bytes.
* Removed locks for updating the realtime in the clock's main loop and the
get_uptime function. Interrupts are no longer reentrant, so realtime is
immediately updated.

Jorrit Herder 0899f82ab2 Fixed some minor issues with the NOTIFY call. 2005-05-24 14:35:58 +00:00
Jorrit Herder ccd17ecfed New NOTIFY system call! Queued at kernel. Duplicate messages (with same source
and type) are overwritten with newer flags/ arguments. The interface from
within the kernel is lock_notify(). User processes can make a system call with
notify(). NOTIFY fully replaces the old notification mechanism.
