mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.
. kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
. architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
. <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
architecture-independent functions.
. int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
. i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
. prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
. /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
i386.
. some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
. in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
. fixes for new include files
files deleted:
. mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
. klib86.s - only for 86
i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
. mpx386.s (entry point)
. klib386.s
. sconst.h
. exception.c
. protect.c
. protect.h
. i8269.c
Added BUSC_PCI_DEV_NAME_S and BUSC_PCI_SLOT_NAME_S to support safecopies in PCI.
Added DL_WRITEV_S, DL_READV_S, DL_GETSTAT_S, DL_GRANT, and iovec_s_t to support
safecopies in ethernet drviers. Renamed DL_INIT to DL_CONF, and DL_INIT_REPLY
to DL_CONF_REPLY.
Added SYS_READBIOS and sys_readbios to read from BIOS data areas.
Added GET_KMESS_S for safecopy support in LOG.
Added sys_safe_insb and sys_safe_outsb.
and DEV_IOCTL_S as replacements for DEV_READ, DEV_WRITE, DEV_SCATTER,
DEV_GATHER and DEV_IOCTL. Instead of a direct address, the *_S commands
pass 'grant ids' to the drivers which are referenced through a new set
of copy calls (sys_safecopyfrom and sys_safecopyto). in order for this
copy to succeed, the grant must have previously been created in the
address space of the granter.
. bitmap manipulation functions moved to <minix/bitmap.h>
. HIGHPOS introduced as field containing high 32 bits of position in
device I/O message; TTY_FLAGS no longer used
. IO_GRANT field introduced for GRANTs, to replace ADDRESS
. REP_IO_GRANT field for un-SUSPEND messages introduced to indicate
grant for which I/O was done to disambiguate messages
. SYS_SAFECOPYFROM and SYS_SAFECOPYTO introduced as new calls
. SYS_PRIV_SET_GRANTS code introduced as a code to set the address and
size of the grant table in a process' own address space
. 'type' and 'direction' field of _ins* and _outs* I/O functions
are merged into one by ORing _DIO_INPUT/_DIO_OUTPUT and _DIO_BYTE/_DIO_WORD
etc. This allows for an additional parameter, _DIO_SAFE, which indicates
the address in another address space isn't actually an address, but
a grant id. Also needs an offset, for which fields had to be merged.
. SCP_* are field names for SYS_SAFECOPY* functions
. DIAGNOSTICS and GET_KMESS moved to their own range above DIAG_BASE,
added DIAGNOSTICS_S which is a grant-based variant of DIAGNOSTICS
. removed obsolete BINCOMPAT and SRCCOMPAT options
. added GRANT_SEG type for use in vircopy - allows copying to a grant
id (without offset)
. added _MINIX_IOCTL_* macros that decode information encoded by
_IO* macros in ioctl codes, used to check which grants are necessary
for an ioctl
. introduced the type endpoint_t for process endpoints, changed some
prototypes and struct field types to match
. renamed protected to prot for g++
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 }.).
other, user-includable config files. It only defines names that don't
pollute the users namespace (start with _). <minix/config.h> still works
like always; it includes sys_config.h now and defines the 'messy' names
(such as CHIP) as the 'cleaner' names (such as _MINIX_CHIP).
Changed some of the other include files to use sys_config.h and the
'cleaner' names. This solves some (past and future) compilation problems.
This was caused by a change in the shared driver code. Not log's fault.
Renamed #definitions of driver process numbers, e.g., TTY now is TTY_PROC_NR.
All known (special) processes now have consistent naming scheme. Kernel tasks
don't follow this scheme.
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
- 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.
