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.

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.

IS debug dumps improved (Shift+F1-F4).

e561081545 Miscellaneous clean ups and fixes to the kernel.
Support for FLOPPY in boot image. (Set controller=fd at boot monitor.)
Moved major device numbers to <minix/dmap.h> (maybe rename to dev.h?)

fe0dcb5c00 AT driver is not modified (debugging only);
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

198c976f7e System processes can be signaled; signals are transformed in SYS_EVENT message
that passes signal map along. This mechanisms is also used for nonuser signals
like SIGKMESS, SIGKSTOP, SIGKSIG.

Revised comments of many system call handlers. Renamed setpriority to nice.

42ab148155 Reorganized system call library; uses separate file per call now.
New configuration header file to include/ exclude functionality.
Extracted privileged features from struct proc and create new struct priv.
Renamed various system calls for readability.

bac6068857 Rewrite of process scheduling:
- current and maximum priority per process;
- quantum size and current ticks left per process;
- max number of full quantums in a row allow
  (otherwise current priority is decremented)

a408699ce0 Cleaned up process table structure: removed p_type, p_pendcount.
Removed stop sequence when MINIX is shut down.
Disabled send mask checks --- to be replaced by proper mechanism.
Fixed bug relating to 'shutdown -x'.
Simplified clock accounting of realtime.
Updated Makefiles for mkdept script.

355a10864b Fixed various GCC compiler warnings for the kernel.
Only main() now gives a warning about the return type (GCC wants an int).

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.

c977bd8709 Added args to lock() and unlock() to tell them apart, for use
when lock timing is enabled in minix/config.h.

Added phys_zero() routine to klib386.s that zeroes a range of memory, and
added corresponding system call.

322ec9ef8b Moved stime, time, times POSIX calls from FS to PM. Removed child time
accounting from kernel (now in PM).  Large amount of files in this commit
is due to system time problems during development.

77c3213948 Optimized scheduling code. Old code is still available withing DEAD_CODE
and NEW_SCHED_Q definitions. Some minor problems are being traced at the
moment. This commit is meant to backup my files.

0899f82ab2 Fixed some minor issues with the NOTIFY call. 2005-05-24 14:35:58 +00:00
Jorrit Herder
ccd17ecfed New NOTIFY system call! Queued at kernel. Duplicate messages (with same source
and type) are overwritten with newer flags/ arguments. The interface from
within the kernel is lock_notify(). User processes can make a system call with
notify(). NOTIFY fully replaces the old notification mechanism.
