This copies the parent kernel stack to child only for the part where
the previous context is saved. Then the child registers are modified
so that it would begin execution from returning of the system call.
sys_timer accumulates timer ticks into seconds, minutes, hours and days.
It's left to the user to calculate from days into a date. It is not yet
known if the calculation is even roughly correct.
Reduced 2 kmem_reclaim/grant calls into one kmem_control call.
Headers 3 headers related to message registers and utcbs are now merged under
utcb.h in libl4. Some message register definitions used by the kernel are now
moved into kernel's glue/message.h. This avoids the duplication of same
definitions. Also the total number of mregs are now determined by arch-specific
kernel header, which is good.
Boot files and tasks are now initialised together. Theads can ask for particular
space and thread ids, if they're unused. This enables us to get predefined ids for
known tasks such as the VFS task.
Fixes to README
Other minor fixes.
Removed previously implemented but untested mechanism of blocking tasks
from doing ipc to certain tasks using certain tags. This is to be considered
for future implementation.
Changed l4id_t type to integer to recognise negative id values like L4_ANYTHREAD.
Added an extremely simple script that cleans and builds everything in right order.
Increased boot pmds by one:
This is due to the fact that if the 1MB initial allocation area of the kernel is
not 1MB-aligned, it is ought to be mapped from the middle of one MB to next,
which requires 2 pmds.
