4011 6312 d 23 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ String functions should be declared in string.h (and implemented in string.c) in the kernel.  
3988 6313 d 23 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Fix misaligned columns (whoops).  
3987 6314 d 0 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 6314 d 6 h svoboda /trunk/ task_set_name() syscall so that we can have names (for userspace-loaded) tasks again.  
3908 6327 d 2 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3620 6412 d 10 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/ Move stuff related to kbox to a separate struct.  
3566 6427 d 11 h svoboda /trunk/ Set meaningful names for loaded programs. Now 'tasks' kconsole command is much less obscure.  
3438 6479 d 8 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge syscall tracer (trace) and relevant part of udebug interface from tracing to trunk.  
3359 6503 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Improve comments in task.c  
3222 6550 d 5 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3186 6565 d 2 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.
 
3137 6574 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Maintain cache coherence after sys_task_spawn() copies ELF image from user space.  
3063 6585 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ support for SYS_SPAWN syscall
proper printf formatting
change the way init tasks are created
 
2802 6644 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix initialization of answerbox->task in ipc_answerbox_init.
Contributed by Jiri Svoboda.
 
2745 6682 d 9 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2712 6708 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2632 6769 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ try to kill the tasks fewer times by introducing a delay in iterations  
2504 6895 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.
 
2446 6953 d 5 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.
 
2436 6955 d 1 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.
