3987 5608 d 19 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Read command line for multiboot modules on ia32 and copy it to task name. Other arches will need to initialize task names in the init structure to an empty string.  
3983 5609 d 1 h svoboda /trunk/ task_set_name() syscall so that we can have names (for userspace-loaded) tasks again.  
3908 5621 d 21 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3896 5623 d 16 h svoboda /trunk/ More elegant way of invoking the loader - as a 'cloneable' service. Task names functionality lost for the time being.  
3875 5625 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ remove platform dependent constructs from generic code  
3790 5661 d 4 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Make newlines in panic messages consistent. Add periods at end of messages so that it is obvious whether they are printed entirely.  
3734 5676 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ coding style  
3620 5707 d 5 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/ Move stuff related to kbox to a separate struct.  
3617 5707 d 23 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix race that allowed Udebug to report THREAD_B events for threads already reported with THREAD_READ.  
3581 5718 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Some cstyle.  
3578 5719 d 8 h vana /trunk/ Alfa of SMP support on IA64  
3566 5722 d 6 h svoboda /trunk/ Set meaningful names for loaded programs. Now 'tasks' kconsole command is much less obscure.  
3565 5722 d 17 h svoboda /trunk/ Fix sys_thread_create(): could fail when passed name was at end of mapping, could crash if provided name was not null-terminated.  
3438 5774 d 4 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge syscall tracer (trace) and relevant part of udebug interface from tracing to trunk.  
3359 5798 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Improve comments in task.c  
3222 5845 d 0 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3186 5859 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Support for active mutexes. Active mutexes implement busy waiting, pretty much
in the same way as spinlocks, but can be passed to condition variables, which is
the motivation for this enhancement.
 
3181 5862 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ cstyle for kinit.c and scheduler.c  
3137 5869 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Maintain cache coherence after sys_task_spawn() copies ELF image from user space.  
3104 5877 d 8 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3063 5880 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ support for SYS_SPAWN syscall
proper printf formatting
change the way init tasks are created
 
3062 5880 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ proper printf formatting  
2907 5902 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Improve comment for thread_create().  
2802 5939 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix initialization of answerbox->task in ipc_answerbox_init.
Contributed by Jiri Svoboda.
 
2790 5945 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Fix typo ALV tree vs. AVL tree.  
2765 5965 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ tasklet.c needs to include config.h  
2746 5976 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start merging tasklets (more or less a rewrite)  
2745 5977 d 4 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2712 6003 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2632 6064 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ try to kill the tasks fewer times by introducing a delay in iterations  
2504 6189 d 21 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 6190 d 2 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.
 
2487 6216 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Kernel stack address was printed twice.  
2470 6235 d 18 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().
 
2451 6244 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2446 6248 d 0 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.
 
2440 6248 d 18 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 6249 d 20 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.
 
2310 6272 d 21 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.
 
2285 6285 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Formatting and indentation fixes.
