2619 6061 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ Modify ipc_answer_*() to make use of all six syscall arguments. The recommended
means of answering calls is via the ipc_answer_m() macros (where m denotes the
number of return arguments) that automatically decide between the fast register
version or the slow universal version of ipc_answer().		  
2618 6062 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Modify asynchronous IPC to make use of all six syscall arguments. The preferred
means of asynchronous communication is now via the set of ipc_call_async_m()
macros, where m is the number of payload arguments passed to the kernel. These
macros will automatically decide between the fast and the universal slow version
of ipc_call_async.		  
2617 6062 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ STRUCT_TO_USPACE may fail in sys_ipc_call_sync_fast.  
2615 6063 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Modify synchronous IPC to make use of all six syscall arguments. The preferred
means of synchronous communication is now via the set of ipc_call_sync_m_n()
macros, where m is the number of payload arguments passed to the kernel and n is
the number of return values. These macros will automatically decide between the
fast and the universal slow version of ipc_call_sync.		  
2614 6063 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Grow the IPC data structures from 3 to 5 payload arguments.
No IPC API changes so far.		  
2605 6065 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Start support for six syscall arguments.
This breaks all architectures.		  
2601 6070 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Fix and improve two IPC related comments.  
2574 6086 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ Fix elf.c's formatting and add code that can be later enhanced and used to
remember task's TLS section alignment, address and size.		  
2573 6089 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/lib/ Add SHF_TLS ELF section header flag.
This will be needed for detecting alignment of TLS sections of userspace tasks
loaded at runtime.		  
2572 6108 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Remove duplicit implementation of strlen() in kernel, rename is_digit(),
is_white() and co. to their standard names (e.g. isdigit(), isspace()) and
remove duplicit implementation of isdigit(). Fix cstyle in kernel printf()
implementation.		  
2571 6108 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/printf/ Fix the string printing precision bug also in the kernel.  
2557 6114 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Enable forwarding of IPC_M_AS_AREA_SEND, IPC_M_AS_AREA_RECV, IPC_M_DATA_SEND
calls. In order to prevent the forwarder from cloberring the call data (i.e.
source and destination address, and size) by treating these three methods as
immutable on forward. This feature is experimental, but has huge benefits in
that it can significantly reduce the amount of data sharing (the middle man need
not modify its address space mappings) or the amount of data copying (the middle
man need not receive the data from the sender and then resend them to the next
recipient). As a result, it can reduce N such calls for a communication channel
with N tasks along the way to 1 such call.		  
2556 6114 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2550 6114 d 21 h cejka /trunk/ Fixed naming convention in IPC.  
2527 6127 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ VFS work.

Added mandatory VFS_LOOKUP

Handling of VFS_REGISTER request should be now more or less complete.
Added code that inserts the new fs_info structure into the list of registered
filesystems and creates a callback connection to the client FS.		  
2523 6128 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ VFS work.

Now, each VFS connection fibril will accept requests in a loop. The idea is that
each connection will be potentially reused for multiple requests before it is
closed by the server.

More VFS_REGISTER bits. Make use of the IPC_M_DATA_SEND wrappers introduced in
the previous commit.

Add enum members for more VFS operations.		  
2504 6175 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Give the AVL tree walkers the possibility to take an argument.
Each walker is now supposed to return a bool value to support walk termination.

Switch over from the tasks_btree B+tree to tasks_tree AVL tree.
This makes the fix for ticket #48 complete.		  
2503 6175 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/adt/ Get rid of code duplicities in the insert path into an AVL tree.  
2502 6176 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Replace the threads_btree B+tree with an AVL tree. The new variable is called
threads_tree. For printing list of threads, use the new AVL tree walker
mechanism.

This solves half of ticket #48.		  
2501 6176 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Add explicit type for an AVL tree key.
Add function to walk an AVL tree using a supplied walker.		  
2499 6176 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Import the AVL tree implementation from the RCU branch.  
2494 6193 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Implement a new mechanism for copying data between two address spaces based on
IPC. New system method IPC_M_DATA_SEND is introduced. The implementation is
generic and does not make use of any possible architecture optimizations such as
direct copy from one address space to another.		  
2493 6193 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Collapse IPC method numbers.  
2487 6202 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Kernel stack address was printed twice.  
2476 6214 d 17 h jermar /trunk/ Cleanup.  
2472 6217 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Some left-over stuff from the last commit (IPC cleanup and improved
comments.)		  
2471 6217 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)		  
2470 6221 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ Fix a double-free recently introduced in revision r2436.
Add a comment clarifying the life-cycle of the kernel_uarg structure.

Comment out the freeing of userspace thread stack while still running on it.
This should be fixed by implementing userspace version of thread_join().		  
2467 6221 d 20 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.		  
2465 6226 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2462 6228 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.		  
2451 6230 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2447 6233 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/main/ Split accidently joined lines.  
2446 6233 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ More efficient and simpler task termination.

Based on the assumption, that after its creation, only the task itself can create more threads for itself,
the last thread with userspace context to execute thread_exit() will perform futex and IPC cleanup. When
the task has no threads, it is destroyed. Both the cleanup and destruction is controlled by reference
counting.

As for userspace threads, even though there could be a global garbage collector for joining threads, it is
much simpler if the uinit thread detaches itself before switching to userspace.

task_kill() is now an idempotent operation. It just instructs the threads within a task to exit.

Change in the name of a thread state: Undead -> JoinMe.		  
2445 6234 d 0 h decky /trunk/ initial merge of branches/fs
(not finished, huge cleanup is needed)		  
2444 6234 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ First fixes for suncc support.
It is going to be a long way...		  
2441 6234 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix ICC compilation  
2440 6234 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix the problem with sys_thread_create() by splitting the create and attach functionality of
thread_create(). Now it is possible to specify a flag that will cause thread_create() to only allocate and
initialize the thread structure. A call to thread_attach() will make the thread visible to the system.
This arrangement makes it easier to undo creation of a thread in case of a failure in sys_thread_create().		  
2436 6235 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ Fix two memory leaks.

In kernel, kernel_uarg structure needs to be deallocated when a thread
with userspace context is destroyed.

In userspace, the return value of the SYS_THREAD_CREATE must be checked
for error conditions and in case of error, uarg and stack must be freed
up.		  
2359 6248 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for the IPC subsystem.
Fix formatting and indentation.
