A new scheduler replaces the old one.
- There are no sched_xxx_notify() calls that ask scheduler to change task state.
- Tasks now have priorities and different timeslices.
- One second interval is distributed among processes.
- There are just runnable and expired queues.
- SCHED_GRANULARITY determines a maximum running boundary for tasks.
- Scheduler can now detect a safe point and suspend a task.
Interruptible blocking is implemented.
- Mutexes, waitqueues and ipc are modified to have an interruptible nature.
- Sleep information is stored on the ktcb. (which waitqueue? etc.)
- test0 now forks 16 tasks that each modify a global variable.
- scheduler now gives 1/10th of a second per task. It also does not increase timeslice
of a task that has scheduled.
- When a memory is granted to the kernel, the distribution of this memory to memcaches
was calculated in a complicated way. This is now simplified.
serving mm0, if it page faults, system deadlocks because mm0 is waiting to be served by vfs.
FIX: To fix this, mm0 will need to fork itself and keep a separate thread solely for
page fault handling.
Factored out mapping of the physical page as the final generic code
after all fault-specific handling is done.
Fixed the error that zero page didn't have an owner (devzero).
Fixed the error that struct dirent did not have the record length
field as u16 as expected by userspace.
Separated vfs file as a specific file. vm file is not always a vfs file.
Updated the README
sys_open was not returning back to client, added that.
Added comments for future vfs additions.
