- Fixed do_mmap() so that it returns mapped address, and various bugs.
- A child seems to fork with new setup, but with incorrect return value.
Need to use and test exregs() for fork + clone.
- Shmat searches an unmapped area if input arg is invalid, do_mmap()
should do this.
- Added mutex_trylock()
- Implemented most of exchange_registers()
- thread_control() now needs a lock for operations that can modify thread context.
- thread_start() does not initialise scheduler flags, now done in thread_create.
TODO:
- Fork/clone'ed threads should retain their context in tcb, not syscall stack.
- exchange_registers() calls in userspace need cleaning up.
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.
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.
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.
