Capability checking for thread_control, exregs, mutex, cap_control,
ipc, and map system calls.
The visualised model is implemented in code that compiles, but
actual functionality hasn't been tested.
Need to add:
- Dynamic assignment of initial resources matching with what's
defined in the configuration.
- A paged-thread-group, since that would be a logical group of
seperation from a capability point-of-view.
- Resource ids for various tasks. E.g.
- Memory capabilities don't have target resources.
- Thread capability assumes current container for THREAD_CREATE.
- Mutex syscall assumes current thread (this one may not need
any changing)
- cap_control syscall assumes current thread. It may happen to
be that another thread's capability list is manipulated.
Last but not least:
- A simple and easy-to-use userspace library for dynamic expansion
of resource domains as new resources are created such as threads.
Capabilities will be shared among collection of threads. A pager
will have a right to share its own capabilities with its space,
its thread group and its container.
Currently sharing is possible with only all of the caps. Next,
it will be support for cap splitting, granting, and partial sharing
and granting.
