- KIP's pointer to UTCB seems to work with existing l4lib ipc functions.
- Works up to clone()
- In clone we mmap() the same UTCB on each new thread - excessive.
- Generally during page fault handling, cloned threads may fault on the same page
multiple times even though a single handling would be enough for all of them.
Need to detect and handle this.
Increased inode block pointers to 40. The current maximum allowed (and checked).
Updates to file size after every file write ensures subsequent writes can
correctly operate using updated file size information (i.e. not try to add
more pages that are already present). We cannot do this inside write() because
directory writes rely on byte-granularity updates on file buffers, whereas
file updates are by page-granularity (currently).
It turned out we used one version of kmalloc for malloc() and another for kfree()!
Now fixed.
Added parent-child relationship to tasks. Need to polish handling CLONE_PARENT and THREAD.
- Added automatic utcb map/prefaulting of forked tasks for fs0
so that it does not need to explicitly request those tasks from mm0.
Eliminating fs0 requests to mm0 reduce deadlock possibilities.
- Replaced kmalloc with a public malloc implementation because of a bug in kmalloc.
- Fixed a kfree bug. default_release_pages was trying to free page_array pages.
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.

This implements the infrastructure for read/write system calls where
file content is first searched in mm0's page cache and then read-in
or written via the vfs read/write functions.
