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?)

89cf745fe2 Single boot driver loaded, while multiple can be included in the boot image.
The user needs to set label=... to choose the driver of his or her choice.
This driver will be mapped onto the controller that is set in controller=...

Minor cleanup of kernel source code (boot image table now is static).

b69ca94efb Fixed 'bug' in log driver that caused kernel messages not to be displayed.
This was caused by a change in the shared driver code. Not log's fault.

Renamed #definitions of driver process numbers, e.g., TTY now is TTY_PROC_NR.
All known (special) processes now have consistent naming scheme. Kernel tasks
don't follow this scheme.

- 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.

93fc19de2c The priority of FS should be lower than that of PM to avoid race conditions
when processes are killed due to a signal.

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

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.

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);

198c976f7e System processes can be signaled; signals are transformed in SYS_EVENT message
that passes signal map along. This mechanisms is also used for nonuser signals
like SIGKMESS, SIGKSTOP, SIGKSIG.

Revised comments of many system call handlers. Renamed setpriority to nice.

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.

f96645a4eb Fixed a bug in kstrncpy() that caused mayhem whenever the buffer to be
copied into was the same size as the source string - it will keep on
filling with zeroes forever. This was a signed/unsigned bug, fixed by
making the kstrncpy argument ssize_t instead of size_t. This bug was
triggered by Chris Young <teddga@earthlink.net>, by dazzling coincedence -
changing OS_VERSION into something with one more character (exactly the
same size as the buffer in the kinfo struct).

Also noticed that the kstrncpy() call didn't null-terminate the strings
if necessary, also fixed.

42050e39f8 kernel and servers send diagnostic messages to IS; IS sends them to TTY
and the new log driver if enabled.

new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.

904cf1f84d A "fix" for bug no. 2 is to check if the process slot has disappeared.
Not a really good solution (as it might not catch situations in which this
is caused by another bug), but the forrest of checks necessary might be worse
than this quick fix - because when looking for the cause, I found some other
cases in which the PM would panic as well. See info in bug 2 for details.

Another fix is to delay notification of PM by SYSTASK of signals delivered
internally until after the reply (e.g. of exec()), because the reply would
be messed up otherwise (receiving the notify instead of reply). This caused
SIGTRAP not to be delivered properly with traced processes.

2ce80ece5c Fix to check for RDTSC instruction (above 486), and call another timing
function instead if RDTSC is unavailable. This makes minix run on 486
again :) (presumably lower as well).

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)

3eeff022fb Added function read_cpu_flags() that returns current cpu flags as a
long.  This is used to check for interrupts being disabled at the time
of a lock() call, if enabled in config.h. The number of times this
happens is then counted in the kinfo structure. These events (recursive
lockings) lead to nasty race conditions.

ec24a0798c Updated function key mapping because of possible changes to NOTIFY.
The TTY driver now only notifies the IS server about function key event,
but does not tell which keys are pressed. The IS servers queries the TTY
driver to find out about this.
