2618 6061 d 13 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 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ STRUCT_TO_USPACE may fail in sys_ipc_call_sync_fast.  
2615 6062 d 10 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.
 
2601 6070 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Fix and improve two IPC related comments.  
2557 6113 d 10 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 6113 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2494 6193 d 2 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.
 
2471 6217 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)
 
2359 6247 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for the IPC subsystem.
Fix formatting and indentation.
 
2098 6356 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2071 6368 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
1923 6461 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Replace the old IRQ dispatcher and IPC notifier with new implementation.
Note that all architectures except for sparc64 are now broken
and don't even compile.
 
1875 6500 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work.
- Changes to enable userspace keyboard drivers.
- Fix z8530 initialization (i.e. clear any pending Tx interrupts).
- Experimental support for framebuffers with inverted colors.
 
1787 6558 d 4 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6565 d 5 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1757 6579 d 10 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6586 d 8 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1693 6588 d 6 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Modified ipc/irq to be able to pass up to 3 arguments to userspace.  
1669 6591 d 6 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ipc/ Small consitency ipc update.  
1595 6593 d 15 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Added kernel circular buffer klog.
Added automatic killing of tasks raising inappropriate exceptions.
TODO: Fix vsnprintf return value(and behaviour according to specs) and remove workaround in klog.
 
1591 6594 d 0 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Small updates to ipc.  
1573 6595 d 5 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Renamed some things in IPC to be consistent.
Added ipc reporting to kconsole.
 
1568 6595 d 7 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Slightly remodelled ipc hangups to facilitate correct cleanup.
Doc updates for frame allocator.
 
1502 6597 d 10 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace nonblocking argument of waitq_sleep_timeout with flags that specify mode of operation.
Now a flag can be used to specify interruptible sleep.
Modify waitq_interrupt_sleep() to only interrupt threads that used this flag.

1461 6599 d 8 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Slightly changed semantics of AS_AREA_SEND/RECV.  
1434 6602 d 4 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Added 'realtime' clock interface.
Added some asm macros as memory barriers.
Added drift computing for mips platform.
 
1428 6603 d 0 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Added 256K slab, so that AMD can boot (until ELF loader is fixed).
Added AS_AREA_RECV so that the caller can receive AS_AREA.
 
1417 6605 d 1 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Modify as_area_share() to accept destination area flags bitmask from the sender
(i.e. the sender can limit access mode to the shared area for the recipient).
Modify IPC_M_AS_AREA_SEND code to support this. Arguments for sender: arg1=as_area,
arg2=size, arg3=flags_mask.

The mechanism seems to work, but the page fault handlers need to be altered to
distinguish between faults under different access modes.
 
1413 6606 d 1 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Reimplement memory sharing. Currently, only
anonymous address space areas can be shared.
 
1396 6609 d 2 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Fixed mips to compile with fb (missing hw_map).
Fixed mips hw virt/phys addresses of fb.
Moved fb_init to post_mm, because it needs malloc().
 
1364 6613 d 9 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Modify ipc_wait_for_call() to support all of blocking, non-blocking and timeout operation.  
1359 6614 d 5 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Rename IPC_M_AS_SEND to IPC_M_AS_AREA_SEND.  
1346 6614 d 12 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ipc/ Small updates to IPC regarding AS_SEND.  
1329 6616 d 5 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Added support to IPC for simple page sharing.  
1297 6623 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add SYS_CAP_GRANT and SYS_CAP_REVOKE syscalls.
Move SYS_PREEMPT_CONTROL to ddi.c.
Add some comments and fix some small issues.
 
1293 6625 d 7 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Implemented mips memcpy (copy from gcc builtin memcpy).  
1288 6625 d 11 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Complete implementation of copy_from_uspace() and copy_to_uspace()
for amd64 and ia32. Other architectures still compile and run,
but need to implement their own assembly-only memcpy(), memcpy_from_uspace(),
memcpy_to_uspace() and their failover parts. For these architectures
only dummy implementations are provided.
 
1281 6628 d 1 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Added means to make a simple action upon interrupt.  
1258 6631 d 0 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Added support for IRQ notifiactions.
- seems to work correctly on ia32, amd64
- the mips kbd probably lowers interrupts when the char is read from
the port, we will have to find a way how to deal with it.
 
1248 6633 d 5 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add some @file doxygen comments and improve already existing comments.
