/* This file contains essentially all of the process and message handling.
* Together with "mpx.s" it forms the lowest layer of the MINIX kernel.
* There is one entry point from the outside:
*
* sys_call: a system call, i.e., the kernel is trapped with an INT
*
* As well as several entry points used from the interrupt and task level:
*
* lock_notify: notify a process of a system event
* lock_send: send a message to a process
* lock_enqueue: put a process on one of the scheduling queues
* lock_dequeue: remove a process from the scheduling queues
*
* Changes:
* Aug 19, 2005 rewrote scheduling code (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jul 25, 2005 rewrote system call handling (Jorrit N. Herder)
* May 26, 2005 rewrote message passing functions (Jorrit N. Herder)
* May 24, 2005 new notification system call (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Oct 28, 2004 nonblocking send and receive calls (Jorrit N. Herder)
*
* The code here is critical to make everything work and is important for the
* overall performance of the system. A large fraction of the code deals with
* list manipulation. To make this both easy to understand and fast to execute
* pointer pointers are used throughout the code. Pointer pointers prevent
* exceptions for the head or tail of a linked list.
*
* node_t *queue, *new_node; // assume these as global variables
* node_t **xpp = &queue; // get pointer pointer to head of queue
* while (*xpp != NULL) // find last pointer of the linked list
* xpp = &(*xpp)->next; // get pointer to next pointer
* *xpp = new_node; // now replace the end (the NULL pointer)
* new_node->next = NULL; // and mark the new end of the list
*
* For example, when adding a new node to the end of the list, one normally
* makes an exception for an empty list and looks up the end of the list for
* nonempty lists. As shown above, this is not required with pointer pointers.
