minix/kernel/system.h
Tomas Hruby cca24d06d8 This patch removes the global variables who_p and who_e from the 
kernel (sys task).  The main reason is that these would have to become
cpu local variables on SMP.  Once the system task is not a task but a
genuine part of the kernel there is even less reason to have these
extra variables as proc_ptr will already contain all neccessary
information. In addition converting who_e to the process pointer and
back again all the time will be avoided.

Although proc_ptr will contain all important information, accessing it
as a cpu local variable will be fairly expensive, hence the value
would be assigned to some on stack local variable. Therefore it is
better to add the 'caller' argument to the syscall handlers to pass
the value on stack anyway. It also clearly denotes on who's behalf is
the syscall being executed.

This patch also ANSIfies the syscall function headers.

Last but not least, it also fixes a potential bug in virtual_copy_f()
in case the check is disabled. So far the function in case of a
failure could possible reuse an old who_p in case this function had
not been called from the system task.

virtual_copy_f() takes the caller as a parameter too. In case the
checking is disabled, the caller must be NULL and non NULL if it is
enabled as we must be able to suspend the caller.

/* Function prototypes for the system library. The prototypes in this file
* are undefined to do_unused if the kernel call is not enabled in config.h.
* The implementation is contained in src/kernel/system/.
*
* The system library allows to access system services by doing a kernel call.
* System calls are transformed into request messages to the SYS task that is
* responsible for handling the call. By convention, sys_call() is transformed
* into a message with type SYS_CALL that is handled in a function do_call().
*
* Changes:
* Jul 30, 2005 created SYS_INT86 to support BIOS driver (Philip Homburg)
* Jul 13, 2005 created SYS_PRIVCTL to manage services (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jul 09, 2005 updated SYS_KILL to signal services (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jun 21, 2005 created SYS_NICE for nice(2) kernel call (Ben J. Gras)
* Jun 21, 2005 created SYS_MEMSET to speed up exec(2) (Ben J. Gras)
* Jan 20, 2005 updated SYS_COPY for virtual_copy() (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Oct 24, 2004 created SYS_GETKSIG to support PM (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Oct 10, 2004 created handler for unused calls (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Sep 09, 2004 updated SYS_EXIT to let services exit (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Aug 25, 2004 rewrote SYS_SETALARM to clean up code (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jul 13, 2004 created SYS_SEGCTL to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* May 24, 2004 created SYS_SDEVIO to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* May 24, 2004 created SYS_GETINFO to retrieve info (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Apr 18, 2004 created SYS_VDEVIO to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Feb 24, 2004 created SYS_IRQCTL to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Feb 02, 2004 created SYS_DEVIO to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
