- 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.
- Added a full ipc send/recv test
- Removed non-zero value checking in r2 for ipc that was there
to catch inadvertent full ipc calls.
- Added correct hanlding for read/write mrs for current status of utcb.
TODO:
- Add mapping of every utcb to every task for privileged access so that
the kernel can access every utcb without switching spaces.
- Removal of same mappings
- Upon thread creation need to copy page tables accordingly i.e.
each task will have its own utcb mapped with USER access, but every
other utcb as kernel access only. Need to handle this case upon page
table copying.
- Only the topmost parent prints pass messages. Any failed child can print fail message.
- Added testing of 16 forked threads doing file create/read/write/close and
16 forked x 4 cloned = 64 threads spawning/exiting
Added setting of utcb address to l4_thread_control.
This is going to be moved to exchange_registers() since we need to pass
both the utcb physical and virtual address and exregs fits such context
modification better than thread_control.
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).
- test0 now forks 16 tasks that each modify a global variable.
- scheduler now gives 1/10th of a second per task. It also does not increase timeslice
of a task that has scheduled.
- When a memory is granted to the kernel, the distribution of this memory to memcaches
was calculated in a complicated way. This is now simplified.
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.

Previously python hex() would put an extra 'L' after printing out the
value and this would be trimmed in readelf.py. Now it doesn't seem to
do that so the lsd of the number was trimmed. This patch fixes that.
