- Mutex test added. Forked tasks demonstrate produce/consumer using a
shared mmap'ed page.
- Added l4lib assembler syscall
- Added forgotten SWI to mutex control offset in syscall page.
- Added mutex head initialization
- Contended child successfully sleeps in a waitqueue.
Issues:
- Somehow the child's produced page buffer is altered at about [4020] offset.
Parent fails to validate buffer therefore.
- Need to add syncing to test so that parent does not unlock and lock again
before child has a chance to lock buffer and produce.
- Compiles and Codezero runs as normal without touching mutex implementation
- Mutex implementation needs testing.
The mutex control syscall allows userspace programs to declare any virtual
address as a mutex lock and ask for help from the kernel syscall
for resolving locking contentions.
