Added 8 notify slots of 1 byte each. These will be notification
slots for irqs and other threads.
Also now userspace refers to kernel's utcb definition, so they're
in sync.
A 16-bit device number or id further distinguishes a device on the
system in addition to the device type. This is meant to be used for
the very first identification of the device for further probing. Any
further info is available by userspace mapping and probing.
In posix, test0 makes inter-space ipc for testing extended ipc. This
correctly fails when only the cap to ipc to pager is given to all tasks
in the container.
In order to overcome this problem, the tasks who fork for doing ipc to
each other make a request to the pager to get capabilities to do so.
Pager finds its own widened ipc capability over the container, replicates
it, validates and reduces it to desired boundaries (i.e. just ipc betw.
two spaces) and grants it as IMMUTABLE to requesting tasks.
This protocol may be useful in implementing a client/server capability
request relationship. Code builds but untested.
Currently, the tid returned from kernel contains container id as
well, which makes it sufficient to do inter-container syscalls without
any preparation.
The helpers added are for presentation purposes only. Container id
is deleted so that the raw thread id is available for printing or
similar.
Thread ids now contain their container ids in the top 2 nibbles.
Threads on other containers can be addressed by changing those
two nibbles. The addressing of inter-container threads are
subject to capabilities.
Task ids are now unsigned as the container ids will need to be encoded
in the id fields as well.
For requests who require even more comprehensive id input, (such as
thread creation) also added is the container id so that threads
_could_ potentially be created in other containers as well.
Removed dependency on hard-coded pager id. Pager id is now passed
as an environment string `pagerid' to tasks. Alternatively, this
could take space in the utcb of each task.
Added UTCB functions for full ipc that copy buffer or string payloads
in secondary message registers.
Some posix syscalls now use these utcb functions to copy pathnames.
