1. We are not making a new clcd service container, as we dont want to keep
separate container for each device, ultimately we will have one
container managing all devices.
2. CLCD driver needs to be added.
Important points:
----------------
1. Works fine for pb926 + qemu.
2. Scan code logic for kryboard is not complete.
We just have generic keys and shift working.
3. Mouse scancodes are collected but not decoded.
4. Right now we are doing enable_irq(), just before we go for waiting
again for new irqs. This is not correct but we had latency issues.
This needs to be fixed immediately.
5. Also it seems like the notify_clot count should be an atomic
variable. Needs to be discussed.
- Userspace irq handling for timer.
- If no runnable task is left. scheduler busy loops in user context
of last runnable task until a new task becomes runnable.
Irqs can now touch runqueues and do async wakeups. This necessitated
that we implement all wake up wait and runqueue locking work with irqs.
All this, assumes that in an SMP setup we may have cross-cpu wake ups,
runqueue manipulation. If we later decide that we only wake up threads
in the current container, (and lock containers to cpus) we won't really
need spinlocks, or irq disabling anymore. The current set up might be
trivially less responsive, but is more flexible.
l4_capability_control works well for almost all system calls
using a buffer pointer to the capability that it operates on.
Only for sharing/granting of capability lists, it is yet to be
decided how to provide a grant target id.
A 16-bit device number or id further distinguishes a device on the
system in addition to the device type. This is meant to be used for
the very first identification of the device for further probing. Any
further info is available by userspace mapping and probing.
Followed the kernel physical memory reservation convention
with devices. Devices that are possessable by userspace
are created as boot-time capabilities and placed under the kernel
resources devmem_free capability list. Any userspace container
that is defined with the possession of the device would delete the
device capability making it unavailable to further requests.
cinfo array is now freed along with other init memory.
bootmem allocator memory is reduced to be completely used up.
free boot memory now prints the used free memory as well.
