2572 6124 d 15 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 6125 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/printf/ Fix the string printing precision bug also in the kernel.  
2557 6130 d 8 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 6130 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2504 6192 d 1 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 6192 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/adt/ Get rid of code duplicities in the insert path into an AVL tree.  
2502 6192 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 6192 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 6192 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Import the AVL tree implementation from the RCU branch.  
2494 6209 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.		  
2487 6219 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Kernel stack address was printed twice.  
2472 6234 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Some left-over stuff from the last commit (IPC cleanup and improved
comments.)		  
2471 6234 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)		  
2470 6237 d 22 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 6238 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.		  
2465 6243 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2462 6244 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 6247 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2447 6250 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/main/ Split accidently joined lines.  
2446 6250 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 6250 d 6 h decky /trunk/ initial merge of branches/fs
(not finished, huge cleanup is needed)		  
2441 6250 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix ICC compilation  
2440 6250 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().		  
2436 6252 d 0 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 6264 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for the IPC subsystem.
Fix formatting and indentation.		  
2319 6272 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ run mcall only on active CPUs  
2310 6275 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.		  
2285 6287 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2275 6292 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add fancy uptime kconsole command  
2272 6293 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2268 6294 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Document and assert proper usage of THREAD_FLAG_WIRED.
Original patch by Jan Hudecek.		  
2229 6303 d 6 h jermar /trunk/ Revert some of the changes introduced in revision 2209.
I think it is not correct to remove serialization of pseudo threads in printf_core.c.
With thread-level futex serialization, several pseudo threads running in one thread could easily deadlock
the task.

Add a dedicated futex serialization to thread1.c test only.		  
2227 6303 d 14 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2224 6303 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ detach joined thread  
2223 6303 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ add mcall0 command (calling a function on each CPU)  
2222 6303 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust		  
2218 6304 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/ support the possibility to send EOI or Interrupt Acknowledgement
prior to processing the interrupt
(this is essential on some architectures to prevent preemption deadlock)		  
2216 6305 d 0 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls		  
2211 6305 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2208 6305 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
