Depending on whether the IPC is a send or a receive, the message register fields are either transferred to other threads, or overwritten by message registers of other threads. For details please refer to the -.BR L4_IPC () -system call reference page. -UTCB address pool is predefined by the microkernel, but each individual address is allocated by the pagers. -.fi -UTCB may contain thread-local information. Currently on the ARM architecture, the only fields on the UTCB that are not message registers are the -.I saved_tag -and -.I saved_sender -fields, which are used for saving the context of an earlier IPC if a new IPC is going to be made before finishing the first one in a stacked fashion. -.fi -The UTCB structure is subject to change. New fields may be reserved on the UTCB as needed. - - -.ti 10 -.BI "struct " "utcb " -{ -.ti 18 -.BI "u32 " "mr[MR_TOTAL]" "; /* MRs that are mapped to real registers */" -.ti 18 -.BI "u32 " "saved_tag" "; /* Saved tag field for stacked ipcs */" -.ti 18 -.BI "u32 " "saved_sender" "; /* Saved sender field for stacked ipcs */" -.ti 18 -.BI "u32 " "mr_rest[MR_REST]" "; /* Complete the utcb for up to 64 words */" -.ti 10 -}; - -.in 8 -.SH L4 Userspace Library Functions -.nf - -/* Functions to read/write utcb registers */ -.BI "static inline unsigned int read_mr(int " "offset"); -.BI "static inline void write_mr(unsigned int " "offset," "unsigned int " "val" ")" diff --git a/docs/man/man7/thread_control.7 b/docs/man/man7/thread_control.7 deleted file mode 100644 index 05bdb8b..0000000 --- a/docs/man/man7/thread_control.7 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,28 +0,0 @@ -.\" -.\" Man page for the Codezero Project -.\" -.\" L4 Thread Control system call -.\" - -.TH L4_THREAD_CONTROL 7 2009-10-21 "Codezero" "Codezero Programmer's Manual" -.SH NAME -l4_thread_control \- Create a new thread in the system -.SH SYNOPSIS -.B #include -.br -.B #include -.sp -.BI "int l4_thread_control(unsigned int " "action, " "struct task_ids * " "ids) " -.sp -.SH DESCRIPTION -.B l4_thread_control() -manipulates threads in the system. -.I action -field is the main action specifier where one of -.BR THREAD_CREATE, -.BR THREAD_RUN, -.BR THREAD_SUSPEND, -.BR THREAD_RESUME, -.BR THREAD_DESTROY, -.BR THREAD_RECYCLE, -may be supplied as valid actions.
