2677 6154 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Rename IPC_M_AS_AREA_SEND to IPC_M_SHARE_OUT. Rename IPC_M_AS_AREA_RECV to
IPC_M_SHARE_IN. Provide user-friendly wrappers for these methods so that even
dummies can get it right. Some applications using simpler protocols still use
these methods directly.		  
2676 6154 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ Simplify the IPC_M_DATA_WRITE protocol. Do not pass the source address space
virtual address to the recipient. This feature was not used anyway. Now
IPC_M_DATA_WRITE and IPC_M_DATA_READ are feature-aligned.		  
2662 6161 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Add support for IPC_M_DATA_READ calls.  
2660 6162 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Rename IPC_M_DATA_SEND to IPC_M_DATA_WRITE. Now, when we also add
IPC_M_DATA_READ, it will not clash and cause confusion with userspace wrappers
such as ipc_data_receive(). Rename the forementioned wrappers to
ipc_data_write_send(), ipc_data_write_receive() and ipc_data_write_deliver().		  
2646 6169 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ Formatting.  
2638 6180 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Sync IPC comments with IPC code.  
2637 6181 d 0 h cejka /trunk/ Extended IPC_M_CONNECT_TO_ME to use 3 user defined parameters.
Phone identifier is passed in ARG5.		  
2635 6183 d 0 h cejka /trunk/ Function ipc_connect_me_to sends 3 user defined arguments now.
One argument added also to ipc_forward_fast.
Fixed devmap and improved its test.		  
2626 6190 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Support for 5 payload arguments for IPC irq notifications and the pseudo code.  
2623 6191 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Introduce the IPC_FF_ROUTE_FROM_ME forwarding flag.  
2622 6191 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Add mode argument to IPC forward.
This argument can be used to modify the way forward behaves.		  
2619 6194 d 22 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 6195 d 10 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.		  
2615 6196 d 7 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 6197 d 5 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 6199 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Start support for six syscall arguments.
This breaks all architectures.		  
2573 6223 d 1 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 6241 d 14 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.		  
2556 6247 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2550 6248 d 3 h cejka /trunk/ Fixed naming convention in IPC.  
2527 6260 d 9 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 6261 d 11 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 6309 d 0 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.		  
2502 6309 d 6 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 6309 d 6 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 6309 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Import the AVL tree implementation from the RCU branch.  
2494 6326 d 23 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 6327 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Collapse IPC method numbers.  
2476 6347 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Cleanup.  
2471 6351 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)		  
2465 6360 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2462 6361 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.		  
2451 6364 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2446 6367 d 4 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 6367 d 5 h decky /trunk/ initial merge of branches/fs
(not finished, huge cleanup is needed)		  
2444 6367 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ First fixes for suncc support.
It is going to be a long way...		  
2441 6367 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix ICC compilation  
2440 6367 d 22 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().		  
2310 6392 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Cleanup the waitq_wakeup() interface.
Replace numeric constants (i.e. 0)
and boolean constants (i.e. false) with
more readable WAKEUP_FIRST. Also change the
type of the second argument of waitq_wakeup()
to a newly introduced type wakeup_mode_t.

Fix behaviour of waitq_wakeup() in case
that WAKEUP_ALL semantics is required
but no threads are sleeping in the wait
queue. This is a similar fix to that of
Jan Hudecek committed in the RCU branch,
but, IMHO, is more straightforward and
also doesn't eat up previous missed
wakeups.		  
2275 6409 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add fancy uptime kconsole command
