It removes the no more existing marcos (XPIPE XPOPEN XDOPEN XLOCK XSELECT) and
replaces them with the new ones from servers/vfs/const.h No more dependency on
NR_TASKS macro.
- all macros in consts.h that depend on NR_TASKS replaced by a FP_BLOCKED_ON_*
- fp_suspended removed and replaced by fp_blocked_on. Testing whether a process
is supended is qeual to testing whether fp_blocked_on is FP_BLOCKED_ON_NONE or
not
- fp_task is valid only if fp_blocked_on == FP_BLOCKED_ON_OTHER
- no need of special values that do not colide with valid and special endpoints
since they are not used as endpoints anymore
- suspend only takes FP_BLOCKED_ON_* values not endpoints anymore
- suspend(task) replaced by wait_for(task) which sets fp_task so we remember who
are we waiting for and suspend sets fp_blocked_on to FP_BLOCKED_ON_OTHER to
signal that we are waiting for some other process
- some functions should take endpoint_t instead of int, fixed
- marks code path that should be unreachable (never executed)
- if hit, panics and reports the problem
- the end of main() marked as such. The SMP changes need some magic with stack
switching before the AP can be started as they need to run on the boot stack
before figuring out what is their own stack. As main() uses the boot stack to,
we need to switch to to the stack of BSP before executing the last part of
main() which needs to be in a separate function so we can jump to it.
Therefore restart() won't be the last call in main() which may be confusing.
The macro can/should be used in other such places too.
- the magic numbers ANY, NONE and SELF are kept for the compatibility with the
current userspace. It is OK as long as NR_PROCS is greater so they don't
colide with other endpoints
- the 32 bit endpoint_t value is split in half, lower 16 bits for process slot
number and upper half for generation number
- transition to a structured endpoint_t in the future possible
- headers use the endpoint_t in syslib.h and the implmentation was using int
instead. Both uses endpoint_t now
- every variable named like proc, proc_nr or proc_nr_e of type endpoint_t has
name proc_ep now
- endpoint_t defined as u32_t not int
shared with the kernel, mapped into kernel address space;
kernel is notified of its location. kernel segment size is
increased to make it fit.
- map in kernel and other processes that don't have their
own page table using single 4MB (global) mapping.
- new sanity check facility: objects that are allocated with
the slab allocator are, when running with sanity checking on,
marked readonly until they are explicitly unlocked using the USE()
macro.
- another sanity check facility: collect all uses of memory and
see if they don't overlap with (a) eachother and (b) free memory
- own munmap() and munmap_text() functions.
- exec() recovers from out-of-memory conditions properly now; this
solves some weird exec() behaviour
- chew off memory from the same side of the chunk as where we
start scanning, solving some memory fragmentation issues
- use avl trees for freelist and phys_ranges in regions
- implement most useful part of munmap()
- remap() stuff is GQ's for shared memory
addr and taddr don't have to be defined any more, so that <sys/mman.h>
can be included for proper prototypes of munmap() and friends.
- rename our GETPID to MINIX_GETPID to avoid a name conflict with
other sources
- PM needs its own munmap() and munmap_text() to avoid sending messages
to VM at the startup phase. It *does* want to do that, but only
after initialising. So they're called again with unmap_ok set to 1
later.
- getnuid(), getngid() implementation
- If allocation of a new buffer fails, use an already-allocated
unused buffer if available (low memory conditions)
- Allocate buffers dynamically, so memory isn't wasted on wrong-sized
buffers.
- No more _MAX_BLOCK_SIZE.
