2660 6157 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Rename IPC_M_DATA_SEND to IPC_M_DATA_WRITE. Now, when we also add
IPC_M_DATA_READ, it will not clash and cause confusion with userspace wrappers
such as ipc_data_receive(). Rename the forementioned wrappers to
ipc_data_write_send(), ipc_data_write_receive() and ipc_data_write_deliver().
 
2637 6176 d 5 h cejka /trunk/ Extended IPC_M_CONNECT_TO_ME to use 3 user defined parameters.
Phone identifier is passed in ARG5.
 
2636 6178 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Update comments wrt the previous commit.
Minor formatting fixes.
 
2635 6178 d 5 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.
 
2622 6186 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Add mode argument to IPC forward.
This argument can be used to modify the way forward behaves.
 
2620 6188 d 15 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 6190 d 3 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 6190 d 15 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 6191 d 12 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.
 
2568 6238 d 18 h jermar /trunk/uspace/ Rename fibril_schedule_next_adv() to fibril_switch(). Rename
fibril_schedule_next() to fibril_yield(). Some fibril structures could be
uninitialized, set them to zero in fibril_setup(). For some fibrils, the stack
member can be NULL (e.g. every thread's first/main fibril); don't do free on
these stacks when cleaning up after a dead fibril.
 
2531 6253 d 5 h jermar /trunk/uspace/ VFS work.
Implement VFS_REGISTER part of the protocol in the FAT file system.

IPC work.
Rename ipc_data_send_accept() to ipc_data_receive() and ipc_data_send_answer()
to ipc_data_deliver(). Introduce ipc_data_send().
 
2530 6253 d 20 h jermar /trunk/uspace/lib/libc/generic/ Pseudo thread -> fibril change in several comments.  
2522 6256 d 18 h jermar /trunk/uspace/lib/libc/ Add wrappers facilitating easy use of IPC_M_DATA_SEND calls and answers.  
2490 6329 d 8 h jermar /trunk/uspace/lib/libc/generic/ Improve comments in async.c  
2482 6336 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Goodbye pseudo threads, welcome fibrils.
The renaming might still be incomplete.
 
2479 6340 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ New, better-structured, directory layout for uspace.  
2471 6346 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)
 
2359 6376 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for the IPC subsystem.
Fix formatting and indentation.
 
2071 6497 d 4 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
1923 6590 d 4 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.
