2647 6045 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix a bug in anonymous address space area sharing. Call the backend's share
function only if the source area is not already shared. Otherwise increment the
sh_info refcount. Without this fix, the kernel will try to recreate the pagemap
if three and more address space areas attempt to share the same data.		  
2638 6057 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ Sync IPC comments with IPC code.  
2637 6057 d 12 h cejka /trunk/ Extended IPC_M_CONNECT_TO_ME to use 3 user defined parameters.
Phone identifier is passed in ARG5.		  
2636 6059 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Update comments wrt the previous commit.
Minor formatting fixes.		  
2635 6059 d 12 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.		  
2632 6060 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ try to kill the tasks fewer times by introducing a delay in iterations  
2626 6066 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Support for 5 payload arguments for IPC irq notifications and the pseudo code.  
2623 6067 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Introduce the IPC_FF_ROUTE_FROM_ME forwarding flag.  
2622 6067 d 17 h jermar /trunk/ Add mode argument to IPC forward.
This argument can be used to modify the way forward behaves.		  
2620 6069 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Be more deterministic when a user accidently uses fast version of IPC
call/answer instead of the full one and passes fewer arguments than required by
the recipient of the call/response.

and the recipient interprets arguments that
were actually not passed by the sender.		  
2619 6071 d 10 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 6071 d 22 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 6072 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ STRUCT_TO_USPACE may fail in sys_ipc_call_sync_fast.  
2615 6072 d 19 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.		  
2605 6075 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ Start support for six syscall arguments.
This breaks all architectures.		  
2601 6080 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Fix and improve two IPC related comments.  
2574 6096 d 12 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.		  
2572 6118 d 2 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 6118 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/printf/ Fix the string printing precision bug also in the kernel.  
2557 6123 d 19 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 6123 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2504 6185 d 12 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 6185 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/adt/ Get rid of code duplicities in the insert path into an AVL tree.  
2502 6185 d 18 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 6185 d 18 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 6185 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Import the AVL tree implementation from the RCU branch.  
2494 6203 d 11 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.		  
2487 6212 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Kernel stack address was printed twice.  
2472 6227 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Some left-over stuff from the last commit (IPC cleanup and improved
comments.)		  
2471 6227 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)		  
2470 6231 d 10 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 6231 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.		  
2465 6236 d 17 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2462 6238 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.		  
2451 6240 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2447 6243 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/main/ Split accidently joined lines.  
2446 6243 d 16 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 6243 d 17 h decky /trunk/ initial merge of branches/fs
(not finished, huge cleanup is needed)		  
2441 6244 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix ICC compilation  
2440 6244 d 10 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().
