this change
- makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
- unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
- throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
looks like:
at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
- throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
- harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
(messes up the formatting) in panic()
- throws out a few per-server panic() functions
- cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()
merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.
process waiting for" logic, which is duplicated a few times in the
kernel. (For a new feature for top.)
Introducing it and throwing out ESRCDIED and EDSTDIED (replaced by
EDEADSRCDST - so we don't have to care which part of the blocking is
failing in system.c) simplifies some code in the kernel and callers that
check for E{DEADSRCDST,ESRCDIED,EDSTDIED}, but don't care about the
difference, a fair bit, and more significantly doesn't duplicate the
'blocked-on' logic.
- Make the bootstrap /etc/mk be populated from the newly checked out source
- Don't chmod 755 all of /etc
- For the 'real' /etc/mk installing, let the /etc/mk ownership and permission
come from the mtree file, delete the contents of /etc/mk, then copy the .mk
files over and set reasonable permissions and ownership. (So that the .mk
get updated from the real usr/src/ copies, and no other junk if anything,
after the bootstrap phase, whatever happened there.)
- as thre are still KERNEL and IDLE entries, time accounting for
kernel and idle time works the same as for any other process
- everytime we stop accounting for the currently running process,
kernel or idle, we read the TSC counter and increment the p_cycles
entry.
- the process cycles inherently include some of the kernel cycles as
we can stop accounting for the process only after we save its
context and we start accounting just before we restore its context
- this assumes that the system does not scale the CPU frequency which
will be true for ... long time ;-)
have malloc/free, alloc_contig/free_contig and mmap/munmap nicely
paired up.
memory uses malloc/free instead of mmap/munmap as it doesn't have
to be contiguous for the ramdisks (and it might help if it doesn't!).
- we don't need to test this in kernel as we always have interrupts
disabled
- if interrupts are enabled in kernel, it is only at very carefully
chosen places. There are no such places now.
- there are no tasks running, we don't need TASK_PRIVILEGE priviledge anymore
- as there is no ring 1 anymore, there is no need for level0() to call sensitive
code from ring 1 in ring 0
- 286 related macros removed as clean up
- no kernel tasks are runnable
- clock initialization moved to the end of main()
- the rest of the body of clock_task() is moved to bsp_timer_int_handler() as
for now we are going to handle this on the bootstrap cpu. A change later is
possible.
* Userspace change to use the new kernel calls
- _taskcall(SYSTASK...) changed to _kernel_call(...)
- int 32 reused for the kernel calls
- _do_kernel_call() to make the trap to kernel
- kernel_call() to make the actuall kernel call from C using
_do_kernel_call()
- unlike ipc call the kernel call always succeeds as kernel is
always available, however, kernel may return an error
* Kernel side implementation of kernel calls
- the SYSTEm task does not run, only the proc table entry is
preserved
- every data_copy(SYSTEM is no data_copy(KERNEL
- "locking" is an empty operation now as everything runs in
kernel
- sys_task() is replaced by kernel_call() which copies the
message into kernel, dispatches the call to its handler and
finishes by either copying the results back to userspace (if
need be) or by suspending the process because of VM
- suspended processes are later made runnable once the memory
issue is resolved, picked up by the scheduler and only at
this time the call is resumed (in fact restarted) which does
not need to copy the message from userspace as the message
is already saved in the process structure.
- no ned for the vmrestart queue, the scheduler will restart
the system calls
- no special case in do_vmctl(), all requests remove the
RTS_VMREQUEST flag
