eae250dea4 . load average calculation changed to calculate it all over every tick
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

1335d5d700 'proc number' is process slot, 'endpoint' are generation-aware process
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.

88ba4b5268 added reenter check to lock_dequeue() to avoid unlocking of interrupts
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.

c655d8b3ae Added shutdown_started global variable. If it's set, we're in the
process of doing a shutdown.

Initial purpose is - suppress dead process diagnostic message.

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.

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()).

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.

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.

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.
