- Updated sleeping paths such that a task is atomically put into
a runqueue and made RUNNABLE, or removed from a runqueue and made SLEEPING.
- Modified vma dropping sources to handle both copy_on_write() and exit() cases
in a common function.
- Added the first infrastructure to have a pager to suspend a task and wait for
suspend completion from the scheduler.
- Fixed do_mmap() so that it returns mapped address, and various bugs.
- A child seems to fork with new setup, but with incorrect return value.
Need to use and test exregs() for fork + clone.
- Shmat searches an unmapped area if input arg is invalid, do_mmap()
should do this.
- Added mutex_trylock()
- Implemented most of exchange_registers()
- thread_control() now needs a lock for operations that can modify thread context.
- thread_start() does not initialise scheduler flags, now done in thread_create.
TODO:
- Fork/clone'ed threads should retain their context in tcb, not syscall stack.
- exchange_registers() calls in userspace need cleaning up.
This copies the parent kernel stack to child only for the part where
the previous context is saved. Then the child registers are modified
so that it would begin execution from returning of the system call.
sys_timer accumulates timer ticks into seconds, minutes, hours and days.
It's left to the user to calculate from days into a date. It is not yet
known if the calculation is even roughly correct.
Reduced 2 kmem_reclaim/grant calls into one kmem_control call.
Removed some commented out code.
Removed excessive printfs.
Fixed spid not initialising for mm0
Fixed some faults with fs0.
TODO:
- Need to store vfs files in a separate list.
- Need to define vnum as a vfs-file-specific data, i.e. in priv_data field of vm_file.
- Need to then fix vfs_receive_sys_open.
