Added support for pagers that fault to suspend and become zombies
along with all the threads that they manage. Zombie killing is to
be done at a later time, from this special zombie queue.
The implementation works same as a suspension, with the added action
that the thread is moved to a queue in kernel container.
Issues:
- A page-faulting thread suspends if receives -1 from pager page fault ipc.
This is fine if pager is about to delete the thread, but it is not if
it is a buggy pager.
- Need to find a way to completely get rid of suspended pager.
- A method of deleting suspended tasks could remedy both cases above.
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.
- Need to remove old versions
- Need to merge the two.
- Need to investigate occasional page fault on NMOP sequence. (resembles an error ipc_extended test)
Could be related to new page cache read/write routines.
Any thread that touches a utcb inside the kernel now properly checks
whether the utcb is mapped on its owner, and whether the mapped physical
address matches that of the current thread's tables. If not the tables
are updated.
This way, even though page tables become incoherent on utcb address
change situations (such as fork() exit(), execve()) they get updated
as they are referenced.
Since mappings are added only conditionally, caches are flushed only
when an update is necessary.
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.
test0 now successfully runs its beginning.
test0 SConscript has a dependency problem.
Issues to be investigated:
- vm_file and vnodes need to be merged fully in all functions.
- libposix shared page references need to be removed.
- Any references to VFS_TID, PAGER_TID need to be removed.
