the macro expansion of "char *cp;" turned into
char *(curproc[cpu()]); which declares a dynamically
sized array of char* called curproc.
so then &cp == &(curproc[cpu()]) was actually a
stack variable as "expected". it was one past the
end of the array, but the implicit alloca allocated
more than was necessary.
do not tell me that making cp a #define was a bad idea.
there are worse problems to fix. more on that later.
Various changes made while offline.
+ bwrite sector argument is redundant; use b->sector.
+ reformatting of files for nicer PDF page breaks
+ distinguish between locked, unlocked inodes in type signatures
+ change FD_FILE to FD_INODE
+ move userinit (nee proc0init) to proc.c
+ move ROOTDEV to param.h
+ always parenthesize sizeof argument
- Got rid of dummy proc[0]. Now proc[0] is init.
- Added initcode.S to exec /init, so that /init is
just a regular binary.
- Moved exec out of sysfile to exec.c
- Moved code dealing with fs guts (like struct inode)
from sysfile.c to fs.c. Code dealing with system call
arguments stays in sysfile.c
- Refactored directory routines in fs.c; should be simpler.
- Changed iget to return *unlocked* inode structure.
This solves the lookup-then-use race in namei
without introducing deadlocks.
It also enabled getting rid of the dummy proc[0].
