2619 6039 d 21 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 6040 d 9 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 6041 d 6 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 6042 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Grow the IPC data structures from 3 to 5 payload arguments.
No IPC API changes so far.		  
2550 6093 d 2 h cejka /trunk/ Fixed naming convention in IPC.  
2527 6105 d 8 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 6106 d 10 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.		  
2494 6171 d 22 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 6172 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Collapse IPC method numbers.  
2471 6195 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)		  
2106 6330 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Merge as_t structure into one and leave the differring parts in as_genarch_t.

Indentation and formatting changes in header files.		  
2105 6334 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2098 6335 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2089 6336 d 5 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2071 6346 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2026 6383 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Improve comment.  
2025 6383 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.  
1941 6438 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ cleanup  
1933 6438 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Implement efficient IPC notification cleanup.  
1932 6438 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Do not copy notification config out of the IRQ structure.
Add the notify member, that toggles notifications on and off instead.
This is good for preventing other tasks from registering the notification
while the notification config is stored outside the IRQ structure.
It should also help to implement the cleanup code.
