2618 6058 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 6059 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 6060 d 3 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 6111 d 1 h cejka /trunk/ Fixed naming convention in IPC.  
2527 6123 d 7 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 6124 d 9 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 6189 d 21 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 6190 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Collapse IPC method numbers.  
2471 6213 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)		  
2106 6348 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 6352 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2098 6353 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2089 6354 d 5 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2071 6364 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2026 6401 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Improve comment.  
2025 6401 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.  
1941 6456 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ cleanup  
1933 6456 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Implement efficient IPC notification cleanup.  
1932 6456 d 21 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.		  
1924 6457 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ For the sake of clarity, get rid of negative INR for virtual interrupts.
This way, the code can hurt performance on systems where the non-negative klog INR overlaps
with a frequently used INR such as system clock on amd64 and ia32.
