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.
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
- 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
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.
- 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);
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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)
Removed stop sequence when MINIX is shut down.
Disabled send mask checks --- to be replaced by proper mechanism.
Fixed bug relating to 'shutdown -x'.
Simplified clock accounting of realtime.
Updated Makefiles for mkdept script.
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.
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.
caused interrupts to be reenabled (due to unlock), which caused a race. The
problems were especially visible on slower machines.
* Relocated free memory parsing to process manager. This saved quite some
code at the kernel level. Text size was reduced by about 650 bytes.
* Removed locks for updating the realtime in the clock's main loop and the
get_uptime function. Interrupts are no longer reentrant, so realtime is
immediately updated.
Reduced kernel size by 512KB by moving private buffer into cstart() function.
Replaced assertions with erroneous return values. Removed assertions relating
to isuserp(rp), since all processes should become user processes; system
processes are now treated similar to other processes.
