from DIO_REQUEST. Also do_vdevio. Also do_sdevio, but this
function also supports grant id's and offsets.
do_segctl: rename protected to prot.
do_umap: support for GRANT_SEG umap.
do_privctl: support SYS_PRIV_SET_GRANTS, which sets location and size
of in-own-address-space grant table.
do_safecopy: functions to verify and perform 'safe' (grant-based) copies.
implementation functions.
Changed check in system.c to check compile-time-sized bitmap of
kernel calls.
Added SYS_SAFECOPYFROM and SYS_SAFECOPYTO, both mapping to
do_safecopy (that's what sys_call_code is used for).
any number of kernel calls.
Allowed kernel calls are stored in table.c for every image process as a
variably-sized array of allowed calls. This is used to fill the bitmap
of size determined at compile time by the number of kernel calls. This
filling is done by main.c. There is a special call called SYS_ALL_CALLS
which fills the bitmap of allowed calls completely, if that is the only
entry in the array.
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
instance numbers, encoded and decoded using macros in <minix/endpoint.h>.
proc number -> endpoint migration
. proc_nr in the interrupt hook is now an endpoint, proc_nr_e.
. m_source for messages and notifies is now an endpoint, instead of
proc number.
. isokendpt() converts an endpoint to a process number, returns
success (but fails if the process number is out of range, the
process slot is not a living process, or the given endpoint
number does not match the endpoint number in the process slot,
indicating an old process).
. okendpt() is the same as isokendpt(), but panic()s if the conversion
fails. This is mainly used for decoding message.m_source endpoints,
and other endpoint numbers in kernel data structures, which should
always be correct.
. if DEBUG_ENABLE_IPC_WARNINGS is enabled, isokendpt() and okendpt()
get passed the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the calling lines, and
print messages about what is wrong with the endpoint number
(out of range proc, empty proc, or inconsistent endpoint number),
with the caller, making finding where the conversion failed easy
without having to include code for every call to print where things
went wrong. Sometimes this is harmless (wrong arg to a kernel call),
sometimes it's a fatal internal inconsistency (bogus m_source).
. some process table fields have been appended an _e to indicate it's
become and endpoint.
. process endpoint is stored in p_endpoint, without generation number.
it turns out the kernel never needs the generation number, except
when fork()ing, so it's decoded then.
. kernel calls all take endpoints as arguments, not proc numbers.
the one exception is sys_fork(), which needs to know in which slot
to put the child.
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.
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 }.).
. motd update (ast)
. made /usr/local/man/man* and made them bin-owned (mtree)
(to let bin install there)
. made copyright notice in kernel 1987-2006 (ast)
. added chown -R bin /usr/src so that bin can compile everything
. 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()).
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).
