- Added ARM register ipc usage explanation to glue/arm/message.h
- In the current design, the unused r2 register is a system register
that kernel checks for ipc flags such as:
- IPC type: e.g. full or extended.
- In extended IPC, MR index containing message buffer ptr.
- In extended IPC, message size
- 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.
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.
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.
