- VFS: check for negative sizes in all truncate calls
- VFS: update file size after truncating with fcntl(F_FREESP)
- VFS: move pos/len checks for F_FREESP with l_len!=0 from FS to VFS
- MFS: do not zero data block for small files when fully truncating
- MFS: do not write out freed indirect blocks after freeing space
- MFS: make truncate work correctly with differing zone/block sizes
- tests: add new test50 for truncate call family
- put asmconv in /usr/bin so it can be invoked without absolute path
- make it ignore .end in gnu output mode so that it can be invoked
without '|| true' in the gnu lib makefiles and it doesn't produce the
messy error message
- PM: get rid of umap warning
- sprofalyze.pl: update with recently added servers and drivers
- sprofalyze.pl: properly truncate process names for sample matching
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.
Some cases were fixed by declaring the function void, others were fixed
by adding a return <value> statement, thereby avoiding potentially
incorrect behavior (usually in error handling).
Some enum correctness in boot.c.
