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
kernel) to the log driver. The log driver forwards such output to the TTY.
Changed driver_task() not to send a reply if the return value is EDONTREPLY.
- 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.
. no more kmalloc
. no more umaps + physcopies / abscopies
. the status register is directly readable from the drivers own
address space now, and no physcopy is needed to read it
. map+physcopy call combinations are replaced by vircopy calls
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.
timeout). A fix is to treat the alarm and interrupt cases differently and
only call the interrupt handler when an actual interrupt has been seen. No
apparent adverse effects.
