Tomas Hruby 728f0f0c49 Removal of the system task
* Userspace change to use the new kernel calls

	- _taskcall(SYSTASK...) changed to _kernel_call(...)

	- int 32 reused for the kernel calls

	- _do_kernel_call() to make the trap to kernel

	- kernel_call() to make the actuall kernel call from C using
	  _do_kernel_call()

	- unlike ipc call the kernel call always succeeds as kernel is
	  always available, however, kernel may return an error

* Kernel side implementation of kernel calls

	- the SYSTEm task does not run, only the proc table entry is
	  preserved

	- every data_copy(SYSTEM is no data_copy(KERNEL

	- "locking" is an empty operation now as everything runs in
	  kernel

	- sys_task() is replaced by kernel_call() which copies the
	  message into kernel, dispatches the call to its handler and
	  finishes by either copying the results back to userspace (if
	  need be) or by suspending the process because of VM

	- suspended processes are later made runnable once the memory
	  issue is resolved, picked up by the scheduler and only at
	  this time the call is resumed (in fact restarted) which does
	  not need to copy the message from userspace as the message
	  is already saved in the process structure.

	- no ned for the vmrestart queue, the scheduler will restart
	  the system calls

	- no special case in do_vmctl(), all requests remove the
	  RTS_VMREQUEST flag

Ben Gras 7e73260cf5 - enable remembering of device memory ranges set by PCI and
told to kernel
  - makes VM ask the kernel if a certain process is allowed
    to map in a range of physical memory (VM rounds it to page
    boundaries afterwards - but it's impossible to map anything
    smaller otherwise so I assume this is safe, i.e. there won't
    be anything else in that page; certainly no regular memory)
  - VM permission check cleanup (no more hardcoded calls, less
    hardcoded logic, more readable main loop), a loose end left
    by GQ
  - remove do_copy warning, as the ipc server triggers this but
    it's no more harmful than the special cases already excluded
    explicitly (VFS, PM, etc).

Erik van der Kouwe 789c8a6ee4 Fixed compilation errors in ps.c and rs/manager.c. The former was fixed by disabling code using no-longer-existant flags and the latter by removing the spurious parameter i from sys_privctl 2009-09-23 08:46:17 +00:00
Tomas Hruby b900311656 endpoint_t in syslib
- headers use the endpoint_t in syslib.h and the implmentation was using int
  instead. Both uses endpoint_t now

- every variable named like proc, proc_nr or proc_nr_e of type endpoint_t has
  name proc_ep now

- endpoint_t defined as u32_t not int
