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.
- Proper releasing of user pmd and pgds when a space is not used.
- Proper releasing of task, space ids.
- At occasions a starting thread gets bogus SPSR, this needs investigating.
- At a very rare occasion arch_setup_new_thread() had a kernel data abort during
register copying from one task to another. Needs investigating.
- Fixed potential concurrency bugs due to preemption being enabled.
- Introduced a new address space structure to better account for
address spaces and page tables.
- Currently executes fine up to forking. Will investigate.
- 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.
- Directory creation, file read/write is OK.
- Cannot reuse old task's fds. They are not recycled for some reason.
- Problems with fork/clone/exit. They fail for a reason.
- Updated sleeping paths such that a task is atomically put into
a runqueue and made RUNNABLE, or removed from a runqueue and made SLEEPING.
- Modified vma dropping sources to handle both copy_on_write() and exit() cases
in a common function.
- Added the first infrastructure to have a pager to suspend a task and wait for
suspend completion from the scheduler.
- 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.
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.
Removed some commented out code.
Removed excessive printfs.
Fixed spid not initialising for mm0
Fixed some faults with fs0.
TODO:
- Need to store vfs files in a separate list.
- Need to define vnum as a vfs-file-specific data, i.e. in priv_data field of vm_file.
- Need to then fix vfs_receive_sys_open.
