74711a3b14 Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.

Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

e561081545 Miscellaneous clean ups and fixes to the kernel.
Support for FLOPPY in boot image. (Set controller=fd at boot monitor.)
Moved major device numbers to <minix/dmap.h> (maybe rename to dev.h?)

0946d128cd - Kernel call handlers cleaned up. More strict checking of input parameters.
- Moved generic_handler() from system.c to system/do_irqctl.c.
- Set privileges of system processes somewhat stricter.

d62e515660 Small update to SYS_IRQCTL -> setting an interrupt policy now allows the caller
to provide an index (0 .. 31) that is passed in the HARD_INT message when an
interrupt occurs. The NOTIFY_ARG field contains a bitmap with all indexes for
which an interrupt occured.

fe0dcb5c00 AT driver is not modified (debugging only);
TTY: select and revive with new notify and FS call back;
kernel: removed old notify code; removed ugly prepare_shutdown timer
kputc: don't send to FS if PRINTF_PROC fails

8866b4d0ef Kernel changes:
- reinstalled priority changing, now in sched() and unready()
- reinstalled check on message buffer in sys_call()
- reinstalled check in send masks in sys_call()
- changed do_fork() to get new privilege structure for SYS_PROCs
- removed some processes from boot image---will be dynamically started later

c0718054e9 Various fixes and improvements.
- fixed bug that caused IDLE to panic (irq hook inconsistency);
- kprintf() now accepts multiple arguments; moved to utility.c;
- prepare_shutdown() signals system processes with SIGKSTOP;
- phys_fill() renamed to phys_memset(), argument order changed;
- kmemset() removed in favor of phys_kmemset();
- kstrncpy() removed in favor of phys_copy();
- katoi, kstrncmp replaced by normal library procedure again;
- rm_irq_handler() interface changed (simply pass hook pointer);

42ab148155 Reorganized system call library; uses separate file per call now.
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.

bac6068857 Rewrite of process scheduling:
- current and maximum priority per process;
- quantum size and current ticks left per process;
- max number of full quantums in a row allow
  (otherwise current priority is decremented)

f2a85e58d9 Various updates.
* Removed some variants of the SYS_GETINFO calls from the kernel;
  replaced them with new PM and utils libary functionality. Fixed
  bugs in utils library that used old get_kenv() variant.
* Implemented a buffer in the kernel to gather random data.
  Memory driver periodically checks this for /dev/random.
  A better random algorithm can now be implemented in the driver.
  Removed SYS_RANDOM; the SYS_GETINFO call is used instead.
* Remove SYS_KMALLOC from the kernel. Memory allocation can now
  be done at the process manager with new 'other' library functions.

0165662cd9 Replaced flagalrm() timers with another technique to check for timeouts.
This allowed removing the p_flagarlm timer from the kernel's process table.
Furthermore, I merged p_syncalrm and p_signalrm into p_alarm_timer to save
even more space. Note that processes can no longer have both a signal and
synchronous alarm timer outstanding as of now.

322ec9ef8b Moved stime, time, times POSIX calls from FS to PM. Removed child time
accounting from kernel (now in PM).  Large amount of files in this commit
is due to system time problems during development.

c2be104821 Improved NOTIFY system: fixed a minor error, ignore pending notifications
on SENDREC system calls. To be done: resource (buffer pool) management;
make it structurally impossible to run out of buffers.

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.

307c825515 New NOTIFY trap (IPC call) to send queued notification messages.
The call works. Permission check, restriction of outstanding notifications
to be added. Low level code to make it work from within interrupt handlers
will be added as well.
