872687ddfc Scheduling updates to the kernel. Sched() function now is single point for
policy. Actual policy not yet implemented.

PM calculates nice values for processes in boot image.

IS debug dumps improved (Shift+F1-F4).

Ageing algorithm to be done.

b293e689a9 . Allow drivers to to physcopy() (table.c)
. Also allow receive() to be done from kernel processes, not just
  sendrec(). This is because receive()s can't harm the kernel processes,
  but are done from the CLOCK task (without sendrec()).

941b5ebd1c Fix to device table at FS.

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?)

ab7c0a9926 Cleaned up table. Moved policies to table.

fe0dcb5c00 AT driver is not modified (debugging only);
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

31042a5a05 Added SENDREC_BUSY flag to indicate that process is doing sendrec() -
if so, alerts are not received before reply message.

a41eb700e8 Minor fixes and improvements for sys_call(). 2005-07-26 13:51:21 +00:00
Jorrit Herder
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.

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.

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)

a408699ce0 Cleaned up process table structure: removed p_type, p_pendcount.
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.

355a10864b Fixed various GCC compiler warnings for the kernel.
Only main() now gives a warning about the return type (GCC wants an int).

403580e95b Removed unused code in proc.c. New message passing code with pointer pointers
is now in use. Rewrote ready() and unready() fuctions.

e0a98a4d65 * Fixed bug relating to nested locking in interrupt handlers. The nested lock
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.

0e2a7a9730 Kernel cleanup.
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.

c281867f46 Fixed bug relating to FS and MEMORY during startup;
Relocated some syslib functions to utils library;
Changed location of 'Multiuser startup ..." echo in /etc/rc

f2a85e58d9 Various updates.
* 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.

c977bd8709 Added args to lock() and unlock() to tell them apart, for use
when lock timing is enabled in minix/config.h.

Added phys_zero() routine to klib386.s that zeroes a range of memory, and
added corresponding system call.

322ec9ef8b Moved stime, time, times POSIX calls from FS to PM. Removed child time
accounting from kernel (now in PM).  Large amount of files in this commit
is due to system time problems during development.

c2be104821 Improved NOTIFY system: fixed a minor error, ignore pending notifications

ccd17ecfed New NOTIFY system call! Queued at kernel. Duplicate messages (with same source
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.

d0a5a5d007 New system call added to PM: getprocnr(int *proc_nr) (like getpid);

307c825515 New NOTIFY trap (IPC call) to send queued notification messages.
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.
