with zoneinfo implementations in src/commands/zoneinfo, referenced
from src/lib/stdtime/Makefile.in.
. read_tsc() in sysutil library saves edx and eax now
. added read_tsc_64() by Antonio Mancina to load tsc into
a 64-bit data type directly
. deleted read_tsc.h in favour of a prototype in <minix/syslib.h>
. pci_reserve() returns an error on devices that have already been reserved,
instead of panic()ing; the pci_reserve() library call still panics,
pci_reserve_ok() returns an int.
. this allows at_wini to use the instance value as intended, as all devices
are seen, even reserved ones
. only devices actually used by at_wini are pci_reserve()d
. pci doesn't release devices based on argv[0], as at_wini both have the
same name and multiple instances won't work together properly
. changed umount() and mount() to call 'service', so that it can include
a custom label, so that umount() works again (RS slot gets freed now).
merged umount() and mount() into one file to encode keep this label
knowledge in one file.
. removed obsolete RS_PID field and RS_RESCUE rescue command
. added label to RS_START struct
. vfs no longer does kill of fs process on unmount (which was failing
due to RS_PID request not working)
. don't assume that if error wasn't one of three errors, that no error
occured in vfs/request.c
mfs changes:
. added checks to copy statements to truncate copies at buffer sizes
(left in debug code for now)
. added checks for null-terminatedness, if less than NAME_MAX was copied
. added checks for copy function success
is changes:
. dump rs label
drivers.conf changes:
. added acl for mfs so that mfs can be started with 'service start',
so that a custom label can be provided
libdriver. at_wini now queues messages it can't handle it receives when
waiting for an interrupt. this way it can do receive(ANY) and timeouts
should be working again (were broken for VFS, as with the advent of VFS,
at_wini could get requests from a filesystem while it was waiting for an
interrupt - as a hack, the receive() was changed to receive(HARDWARE)).
Added mq.c to libdriver, and made libdriver an actual library that
drivers link with -L../libdriver -ldriver. (So adding files, if
necessary, is easier next time.)
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
-script argument to service for crash recovery scripts
-config argument to service for driver resource configuration
restart command in service to restart a driver after a crash (for use in
crash recovery scripts).
down and refresh now take labels instead of pids.
verious changes in rs to make this work.
size field. The TIOCSFON ioctl size (8192) didn't get encoded properly,
as there weren't enough bits for it (12) in the regular format.
The new format has only one type field, and an extra flag (_IOC_BIG)
turned on. FS checks for this flag and uses the alternative decoding
of the ioctl codes to determine the size when doing grants.
This unbreaks loadfont, although that still uses a phys copy in tty.
form. Subscriptions are regular expressions.
. different types are stored per key; currently u32 and/or string.
the same key can be referenced (publish, subscribe, check) as any type.
. notify()s are sent when subscriptions are triggered (publishing or
updating of matching keys); optionally, a subscribe flag sends
updates for all matching keys at subscription time, instead of only
after updates after subscribing
. all interfacing to ds is in /usr/src/lib/syslib/ds.c.
. subscribe is ds_subscribe
publish functions are ds_publish_<type>
retrieve functions are ds_retrieve_<type> (one-time retrieval of a value)
check functions are ds_check_<type> (check for updated key caller
subscribes to not yet checked for, or ESRCH for none)
. ramdisk driver updated with new ds interface
Safecopies renders the NWIOQUERYPARAM ioctl useless. This functionality
is now replaced with /dev/ipstat. Write the request to the device and
read the answer in one read request.
Added BUSC_PCI_DEV_NAME_S and BUSC_PCI_SLOT_NAME_S to support safecopies in PCI.
Added DL_WRITEV_S, DL_READV_S, DL_GETSTAT_S, DL_GRANT, and iovec_s_t to support
safecopies in ethernet drviers. Renamed DL_INIT to DL_CONF, and DL_INIT_REPLY
to DL_CONF_REPLY.
Added SYS_READBIOS and sys_readbios to read from BIOS data areas.
Added GET_KMESS_S for safecopy support in LOG.
Added sys_safe_insb and sys_safe_outsb.
. changed some CMOS ioctl codes to have correct sizes (struct tm instead
of u32_t), a disk ioctl code from W to RW, and memory ioctl codes from R
to W, needed for proper matching of grant in FS
and DEV_IOCTL_S as replacements for DEV_READ, DEV_WRITE, DEV_SCATTER,
DEV_GATHER and DEV_IOCTL. Instead of a direct address, the *_S commands
pass 'grant ids' to the drivers which are referenced through a new set
of copy calls (sys_safecopyfrom and sys_safecopyto). in order for this
copy to succeed, the grant must have previously been created in the
address space of the granter.
. bitmap manipulation functions moved to <minix/bitmap.h>
. HIGHPOS introduced as field containing high 32 bits of position in
device I/O message; TTY_FLAGS no longer used
. IO_GRANT field introduced for GRANTs, to replace ADDRESS
. REP_IO_GRANT field for un-SUSPEND messages introduced to indicate
grant for which I/O was done to disambiguate messages
. SYS_SAFECOPYFROM and SYS_SAFECOPYTO introduced as new calls
. SYS_PRIV_SET_GRANTS code introduced as a code to set the address and
size of the grant table in a process' own address space
. 'type' and 'direction' field of _ins* and _outs* I/O functions
are merged into one by ORing _DIO_INPUT/_DIO_OUTPUT and _DIO_BYTE/_DIO_WORD
etc. This allows for an additional parameter, _DIO_SAFE, which indicates
the address in another address space isn't actually an address, but
a grant id. Also needs an offset, for which fields had to be merged.
. SCP_* are field names for SYS_SAFECOPY* functions
. DIAGNOSTICS and GET_KMESS moved to their own range above DIAG_BASE,
added DIAGNOSTICS_S which is a grant-based variant of DIAGNOSTICS
. removed obsolete BINCOMPAT and SRCCOMPAT options
. added GRANT_SEG type for use in vircopy - allows copying to a grant
id (without offset)
. added _MINIX_IOCTL_* macros that decode information encoded by
_IO* macros in ioctl codes, used to check which grants are necessary
for an ioctl
. introduced the type endpoint_t for process endpoints, changed some
prototypes and struct field types to match
. renamed protected to prot for g++
library to the memory driver. Always put output from within TTY directly on
the console. Removed second include of driver.h from tty.c. Made tty_inrepcode
bigger. First step to move PM and FS calls that are not regular (API)
system calls out of callnr.h (renumbered them, and removed them from the
table.c files). Imported the Minix-vmd uname implementation. This provides
a more stable ABI than the current implementation. Added a bit of security
checking. Unfortunately not nearly enough to get a secure system. Fixed a
bug related to the sizes of the programs in the image (in PM patch_mem_chunks).
instead of keeping a running total of enqueued processes
(because somehow the load average was broken)
. added SI_KPROC_TAB to get a copy of kernel process table from PM, for
a top implementation
. fixed arg to sys_nice() to make it an endpoint, not a slot number
. rename message field name macros from *PROC* to *ENDPT*,
both to reflect the new meaning and to use it to hunt down where
they are used
. _PM_SEG_FLAG in fd replaces funny segment loading construction by
PM in FS
. _MAX_MAGIC_PROC is the highest used proc number, including magic
constants such as (currently) ANY, NONE and SELF, used by the
endpoint macros to make sure they are encoded properly and no valid
endpoint number ever encodes to it.
. rename proc_nr in address copy struct to proc_nr_e (endpoint)
via cause_sig() during an exception.
moved lock check configuration to <minix/sys_config.h> instead of
kernel/config.h, because the 'relocking' field in kinfo depends on it.
other prettification: common locking macro, whether lock timing is on or
not.
Implemented by changing write_map to accept a WMAP_FREE flag. In that
case, it doesn't update the datablock (creating indirect zones as
necessary) pointer, but it frees the datablock if present. Also it
frees the single and double indirect blocks if unused.
This makes the implementation of truncate_inode() simpler.
truncate_inode() now accepts a truncation length which makes
implementing truncate() and ftruncate() simple.
This also allowed implementing the F_FREESP fcntl().
OUTPUT_PROCS_ARRAY in <minix/config.h>, in that order, terminated by NONE.
log no longer forwards messages to tty itself. This leads to less funny
loops and more robust debug-message handling. Also the list of
processes receiving messages can easily be changed around or disabled by
editing the array (e.g. disable it by changing the array to { NONE }.).
other, user-includable config files. It only defines names that don't
pollute the users namespace (start with _). <minix/config.h> still works
like always; it includes sys_config.h now and defines the 'messy' names
(such as CHIP) as the 'cleaner' names (such as _MINIX_CHIP).
Changed some of the other include files to use sys_config.h and the
'cleaner' names. This solves some (past and future) compilation problems.
. added OPENCT ioctl to at driver, which returns the number of times
a device is opened. if it's not opened exactly once, new partition info
will not be read in (at the next open after this close). included
this check in autopart.
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.
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).
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.
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
- SIGKMESS: new kernel message (sent to TTY, IS, or LOG)
- SIGKSTOP: MINIX is shut down (sent to TTY-> switch to primary console)
- SIGKSIG: kernel signals pending (sent to PM)
Renamed SYS_SETPRIORITY to SYS_NICE.
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.
need /tmp any more since 16MB root device; increase to 3.0.5 to make new
CD with working FXP driver. (not tagged 3.0.5 yet as at driver bios-copy
workaround hasn't been done.)
* 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.
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
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.
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.
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.
Told the Makefile not to panic if creating /usr/include due to it existing
(due to bin not being allowed to create it) fails, this smoothens installs
done by bin (instead of root).
