- 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.
Tasks boot fine up to doing ipc using their utcbs.
UTCB PLAN:
- Push ipc registers into private environment instead of a shared utcb,
but map-in a shared utcb to pass on long data to server tasks.
- Shared utcb has unique virtual address for every thread.
- Forked child does inherit parent's utcb, but cannot use it to communicate to
any server. It must explicitly obtain its own utcb for that.
- Clone could have a flag to explicitly not inherit parent utcb, which is the
right thing to do.
- MM0 serves a syscall to obtain self utcb.
- By this method, upon forks tasks don't need to map-in a utcb unless they want
to pass long data.
