8ccb12bb5a use netbsd <sys/signal.h> and sigset_t
. create signals-related struct message type to store sigset_t
	  directly
	. create notify-specific message types, so the generic NOTIFY_ARG
	  doesn't exist anymore
	. various related test expansions, improvements, fixes
	. add a few error-checks to sigismember() calls
	. rename kernel call specific signals fields to SYS_*

604046faf3 kernel: trap-dependent state restore, trace fixes
. restore state depends on how saving of state was done;
	  also remember trap style in sig context
	. actually set and restore TRACEBIT with new trap styles;
	  have to remove it once process enters kernel though, done
	  in debug trap exception handler
	. introduce MF_STEP that makes arch-specific code
	  turn on trace bit instead of setting TRACEBIT directly,
	  a bit more arch-friendly and avoids keeping precious
	  state in per-process PSW arch-dependently

2d72cbec41 SYSENTER/SYSCALL support
. add cpufeature detection of both
	. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
	  for call number
	. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
	  has to save it
	. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
	  type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
	  were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
	  is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
	  from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
	  done as some information is missing.
	. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
	  process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
	  is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
	  context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
	  the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
	  will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
	  sigreturn case.
	. override all usage by setting libc_ipc=1

5b8b623765 SMP - lazy FPU
- when a process is migrated to a different CPU it may have an active
  FPU context in the processor registers. We must save it and migrate
  it together with the process.

c0074d3aa9 kernel: fix case of EAX getting clobbered after sigreturn. 2010-07-20 17:10:09 +00:00
Tomas Hruby
cbc9586c13 Lazy FPU
- FPU context is stored only if conflict between 2 FPU users or while
  exporting context of a process to userspace while it is the active
  user of FPU

- FPU has its owner (fpu_owner) which points to the process whose
  state is currently loaded in FPU

- the FPU exception is only turned on when scheduling a process which
  is not the owner of FPU

- FPU state is restored for the process that generated the FPU
  exception. This process runs immediately without letting scheduler
  to pick a new process to resolve the FPU conflict asap, to minimize
  the FPU thrashing and FPU exception hadler execution

- faster all non-FPU-exception kernel entries as FPU state is not
  checked nor saved

- removed MF_USED_FPU flag, only MF_FPU_INITIALIZED remains to signal
  that a process has used FPU in the past

728f0f0c49 Removal of the system task
* 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

cca24d06d8 This patch removes the global variables who_p and who_e from the
kernel (sys task).  The main reason is that these would have to become
cpu local variables on SMP.  Once the system task is not a task but a
genuine part of the kernel there is even less reason to have these
extra variables as proc_ptr will already contain all neccessary
information. In addition converting who_e to the process pointer and
back again all the time will be avoided.

Although proc_ptr will contain all important information, accessing it
as a cpu local variable will be fairly expensive, hence the value
would be assigned to some on stack local variable. Therefore it is
better to add the 'caller' argument to the syscall handlers to pass
the value on stack anyway. It also clearly denotes on who's behalf is
the syscall being executed.

This patch also ANSIfies the syscall function headers.

Last but not least, it also fixes a potential bug in virtual_copy_f()
in case the check is disabled. So far the function in case of a
failure could possible reuse an old who_p in case this function had
not been called from the system task.

virtual_copy_f() takes the caller as a parameter too. In case the
checking is disabled, the caller must be NULL and non NULL if it is
enabled as we must be able to suspend the caller.

4fd433694f proc_addr() returns address based on location in proc array
- pproc_addr is not neccessary to get the address of a process if we know its
  number

- local proc variables in system calls implementation (sys_task) conflicts with
  the global proc array of all process, therefore the variable were renamed to
  proc_nr as they hold the process number

6f77685609 Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386,
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.

 . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
   other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
   but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
 . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
 . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
   architecture-independent functions.
 . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
   and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
 . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
   gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
   If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
 . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
   kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
 . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
   know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
   i386.
 . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
 . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
 . fixes for new include files

files deleted:
 . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
 . klib86.s - only for 86

i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
 . mpx386.s (entry point)
 . klib386.s
 . sconst.h
 . exception.c
 . protect.c
 . protect.h
 . i8269.c

1335d5d700 'proc number' is process slot, 'endpoint' are generation-aware process
instance numbers, encoded and decoded using macros in <minix/endpoint.h>.

proc number -> endpoint migration
  . proc_nr in the interrupt hook is now an endpoint, proc_nr_e.
  . m_source for messages and notifies is now an endpoint, instead of
    proc number.
  . isokendpt() converts an endpoint to a process number, returns
    success (but fails if the process number is out of range, the
    process slot is not a living process, or the given endpoint
    number does not match the endpoint number in the process slot,
    indicating an old process).
  . okendpt() is the same as isokendpt(), but panic()s if the conversion
    fails. This is mainly used for decoding message.m_source endpoints,
    and other endpoint numbers in kernel data structures, which should
    always be correct.
  . if DEBUG_ENABLE_IPC_WARNINGS is enabled, isokendpt() and okendpt()
    get passed the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the calling lines, and
    print messages about what is wrong with the endpoint number
    (out of range proc, empty proc, or inconsistent endpoint number),
    with the caller, making finding where the conversion failed easy
    without having to include code for every call to print where things
    went wrong. Sometimes this is harmless (wrong arg to a kernel call),
    sometimes it's a fatal internal inconsistency (bogus m_source).
  . some process table fields have been appended an _e to indicate it's
    become and endpoint.
  . process endpoint is stored in p_endpoint, without generation number.
    it turns out the kernel never needs the generation number, except
    when fork()ing, so it's decoded then.
  . kernel calls all take endpoints as arguments, not proc numbers.
    the one exception is sys_fork(), which needs to know in which slot
    to put the child.

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.

f0594a9e6d - Fixed comments in various system call handlers. Work in progress on new
sys_privctl() call to dynamically start servers and drivers.

- Shutdown sequence slightly adjusted: called as watchdog timer to let the
  busy sys_abort() call from the PM return first.

- Changed umap_bios() to have more restrictive check: BIOS memory is now
  allowed in BIOS_MEM_BEGIN to END (interrupt vectors) and BASE_MEM_TOP
  to UPPER_MEM_END. Hopefully this keeps QEMU and Bochs happy.
