Stopped working on self_spawn() - going to finish clone() syscall first.
Arch-specific clone() library call that does ipc() and cloned child setup.
- Need to finish thread_create() that satisfy clone() necessities. i.e. setting up its stack.
Question: Does the pager (and thus the microkernel) have to explicitly set SP_USR?
Once the call is known to be successful, the library could set it.
- Adding prefaulting of fs0 to avoid page fault deadlocks.
- Fixed a bug that a vmo page_cache equivalence would simply drop a link to
an original vmo, even if the vmo could have more pages outside the page cache,
or if the vmo was not a shadow vmo.
- Fixed a bug with page allocator where recursion would corrupt global variables.
- Now going to fix or re-write a simpler page allocator that works.
When copying file pages back and forth, we need both dst and src
offsets since the cursor offset and read/write buffer page offsets
are different. This is now fixed.
Also done some mods to close().
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.
utcb as a shared page instead of the message registers.
Implemented the code that passes task information from mm0 to fs0
using the fs0 utcb. The code seems to work OK but:
There's an issue with anon pages that they end up on the same swapfile
and with same file offsets (e.g. utcb and stack at offset 0). Need to
fix this issue but otherwise this implementation seems to work.
TODO:
- Separate anon regions into separate vmfiles.
- Possibly map the stacks from virtual files so that they can be
read from userspace in the future for debugging.
- Possibly utcb could be created as a shared memory object using shmget/shmat
during startup.
Environment is backed by a special per-task file maintained by mm0 for each task.
This file is filled in by the env pager, by simple copying of env data into the
faulty page upon a fault. UTCB and all anon regions (stack) could use the same
scheme.
Fixed IS_ERR(x) to accept negative values that are above -1000 for errors. This
protects against false positives for pointers such as 0xE0000000.
