2015-07-26XXX pmm from x15, userspace crashes soonJustus Winter
2015-07-26YYY kern: implement queue_replaceJustus Winter
* kern/queue.h (queue_replace): New macro.
2015-07-26xxx avoid allocaJustus Winter
2015-07-26kern/slab: directmap updateRichard Braun
The main impact of the direct physical mapping on the kmem module is the slab size computation. The page allocator requires the allocation size to be a power-of-two above the page size since it uses the buddy memory allocation algorithm. Custom slab allocation functions are no longer needed since the only user was the kentry area, which has been removed recently. The KMEM_CACHE_NOCPUPOOL flag is also no longer needed since CPU pools, which are allocated from a kmem cache, can now always be allocated out of the direct physical mapping.
2015-07-26kern/slab: rename constructor typeRichard Braun
2015-07-26kern/slab: move internal data to slab_i.hRichard Braun
As it's done for other modules, this separation makes the public interface easy to identify.
2015-07-26kern/slab: rework buffer-to-slab lookupRichard Braun
Instead of using a red-black tree, rely on the VM system to store kmem specific private data.
2015-07-26kern/slab: remove the KMEM_CACHE_NORECLAIM flagRichard Braun
Don't encourage anyone to use non reclaimable pools of resources, it's a Bad Thing To Do.

2015-07-26turn all_psets_lock into a general lockJustus Winter
2015-07-26yyy more general locks, crashes, maybe b/c interrupt handlerJustus Winter
2015-07-26kern: new function `thread_sleep_lock'Justus Winter

2015-07-25kern: add boot-time clock, use it for time stampsHEADmasterJustus Winter
The kernel keeps track of task and thread creation times by saving a time stamp. Previously, the real-time clock was used for this. When the real-time clock is changed, however, the reference frame for the time stamps is lost. This surfaced in Hurd systems reporting spuriously long uptimes. Fix this by creating a boot-time clock and use it as reference frame for the time stamps. * kern/mach_clock.c (clock_boottime_offset): Create clock by keeping track of the offset from the real-time. (clock_boottime_update): New function. (record_time_stamp): Use the boot-time clock for time stamps. (read_time_stamp): New function to convert it back to real-time. (host_set_time): Call `clock_boottime_update'. * kern/mach_clock.h (record_time_stamp): Amend comment. (read_time_stamp): New declaration. * kern/task.c (task_info): Use `read_time_stamp'. * kern/thread.c (thread_info): Likewise.
2015-07-25kern/lock: make sure the macros are only used on simple locksJustus Winter
* kern/lock.h (struct slock, simple_lock_data_empty): Add field `is_a_simple_lock'. (simple_lock_assert): New macro that tests for `is_a_simple_lock'. Use this macro to assert that the arguments to various other macros are indeed simple locks.
2015-07-20kern/bootstrap: deallocate threadJustus Winter
Previously, killing the thread would fail because of the extra reference, making task_terminate loop forever. * kern/bootstrap.c (boot_script_exec_command): Deallocate thread.
2015-07-19kern/bootstrap: deallocate taskJustus Winter
* kern/bootstrap.c (boot_script_free_task): Deallocate task.
2015-07-18kern/printf: do not serialize printf and coJustus Winter
A lot of code assumes that printf is re-entrant, e.g. the pagination code in the debugger, or any use of assert inside the console driver. * kern/printf.c: Drop the lock serializing calls to `_doprnt'. (printf_init): Remove function. * kern/printf.h (printf_init): Remove declaration. * kern/startup.c (setup_main): Remove call to `printf_init'.
2015-07-18kern/lock: use compiler built-in functions to get return addressJustus Winter
* kern/lock.c (struct simple_locks_info): Fix type of `ra'. (simple_lock, simple_lock_try): Use compiler built-in functions to get return address.
2015-07-18kern/bootstrap: fix lockingJustus Winter
* kern/bootstrap.c (boot_script_exec_cmd): Add missing unlock. (user_bootstrap): Likewise.
2015-07-18kern/slab: fix lockingJustus Winter
* kern/slab.c (host_slab_info): Fix locking.
2015-07-11kern: make sure the queue macros are only used on queuesJustus Winter
This turns mistakes as the one corrected in e59f05e9 into compile-time errors. * kern/queue.h: Add a new macro, queue_assert, and use it to assert that all arguments given to the queue macros have the correct type. * device/net_io.c (ENQUEUE_DEAD): Adapt to the fact that `queue_next(q)' is no longer an lvalue.
2015-07-10kern: make printf handle long long integersJustus Winter
* Makefile.am (clib_routines): Steal `__umoddi3'. * kern/printf.c (MAXBUF): Increase size. (printnum, _doprnt): Handle long long integers. * kern/printf.h (printnum): Adjust declaration.
2015-07-09kern: remove superfluous fileJustus Winter
* kern/server_loop.ch: Remove superfluous file.
2015-07-09kern: improve error handlingJustus Winter
* kern/bootstrap.c (boot_script_exec_cmd): Improve error handling.
2015-06-20kern: fix error handlingJustus Winter
This avoids calling `thread_deallocate' with an uninitialized value, as found by the Clang Static Analyzer. * kern/thread.c (kernel_thread): Fix error handling.
2015-06-09kern: add function attributes to the printf-functionsJustus Winter
* kern/printf.h (sprintf, snprintf, vsnprintf, printf): Add the `printf' function attribute that allows the compiler to check the format strings and arguments.
2015-05-29kern: fix argument handlingJustus Winter
Previously, the processor argument was not checked. If called with a non-processor argument (like a task), `processor' is set to NULL, triggering a page fault. Likewise for the other functions. * kern/processor.c (processor_get_assignment): Fix argument handling. * kern/task.c (task_get_assignment): Likewise. * kern/thread.c (thread_get_assignment): Likewise.
2015-05-23kern: avoid breaking the strict-aliasing rulesJustus Winter
* kern/exception.c (exception_parse_reply): Use `BAD_TYPECHECK'.
2015-05-22ipc: drop size parameter from `ipc_space_create'Justus Winter
* ipc/ipc_space.c (ipc_space_create): Drop size parameter. * ipc/ipc_space.h (ipc_space_create): Adopt declaration, fix comment. * kern/ipc_tt.c (ipc_task_init): Adopt accordingly.
2015-05-20ipc: undo manual inlining of `ipc_entry_X' functionsJustus Winter
Today we can rely on the compiler to inline functions. Undoing this manual optimization is a first step to replace the IPC tables. * ipc/mach_msg.c (mach_msg_trap): Undo the manual inlining of `ipc_entry_lookup', `ipc_entry_dealloc', and `ipc_entry_get'. * ipc/ipc_kmsg.c (ipc_kmsg_copyin_header, ipc_kmsg_copyout_header): Likewise. * kern/exception.c (exception_raise): Likewise. * kern/ipc_mig.c (fast_send_right_lookup): Likewise.

2015-05-20kern: gracefully handle resource shortageJustus Winter
* kern/task.c (task_create): Gracefully handle resource shortage.
2015-05-19kern: import `macros.h' from x15Justus Winter
Import the macro definitions from the x15 kernel project, and replace all similar definitions littered all over the place with it. Importing this file will make importing code from the x15 kernel easier. We are already using the red-black tree implementation and the slab allocator from it, and we will import even more code in the near future. * kern/list.h: Do not define `structof', include `macros.h' instead. * kern/rbtree.h: Likewise. * kern/slab.c: Do not define `ARRAY_SIZE', include `macros.h' instead. * i386/grub/misc.h: Likewise. * i386/i386/xen.h: Do not define `barrier', include `macros.h' instead. * kern/macro_help.h: Delete file. Replaced by `macros.h'. * kern/macros.h: New file. * Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Add new file, remove old file. * device/dev_master.h: Adopt accordingly. * device/io_req.h: Likewise. * device/net_io.h: Likewise. * i386/intel/read_fault.c: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_kmsg.h: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_mqueue.h: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_object.h: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_port.h: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_space.h: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_splay.c: Likewise. * ipc/ipc_splay.h: Likewise. * kern/assert.h: Likewise. * kern/ast.h: Likewise. * kern/pc_sample.h: Likewise. * kern/refcount.h: Likewise. * kern/sched.h: Likewise. * kern/sched_prim.c: Likewise. * kern/timer.c: Likewise. * kern/timer.h: Likewise. * vm/vm_fault.c: Likewise. * vm/vm_map.h: Likewise. * vm/vm_object.h: Likewise. * vm/vm_page.h: Likewise.

2015-04-24kern: avoid hardcoding the lowest priorityJustus Winter
The number of priorities has been changed from 32 to 50 in 6a234201081156e6d5742e7eeabb68418b518fad. * kern/syscall_subr.c (thread_depress_priority): Avoid hardcoding the lowest priority.
2015-04-23kern: disable stack allocation counters by defaultJustus Winter
Disable the stack allocation counters by default. Casual checking revealed that the hits-to-miss ratio is excellent. * kern/thread.c (stack_alloc_{hits,misses,max}): Move variables... * kern/counters.c: ... here, and add the usual counter prefix. * kern/counters.h: New declarations.
2015-02-25kern: inherit the name of the parent taskJustus Winter
* kern/task.c (task_create): Inherit the name of the parent task.
2015-02-20kern: improve assertJustus Winter
Use the ternary operator to implement `assert' like it is done in the glibc. The glibcs changelog does not mention the rationale behind this change, but doing the same seems to improve our IPC performance. * kern/assert.h (assert): Define macro using the ternary operator.
2015-02-20kern: reduce the size of `struct thread'Justus Winter
Reduce the size of `struct thread' by twelve bytes making it fit into exactly five cache lines (on 32-bit platforms). * kern/thread.h (struct thread): Group the state and all flags in a bitfield. (TH_EV_WAKE_ACTIVE, TH_EV_STATE): Provide macros that generate keys for synchronization primitives like `thread_wakeup'. * kern/thread.c (thread_halt, thread_dowait, thread_suspend): Use the new keys instead of addresses of fields for the synchronisation. * kern/ipc_sched.c (thread_handoff): Likewise. * kern/sched_prim.c (thread_invoke, thread_dispatch): Likewise.
2015-02-18kern: avoid #if 0ing out thread_collect_scanJustus Winter
Currently, `thread_collect_scan' does nothing because `pcb_collect' is a nop. Its body is exempt from compilation by means of the preprocessor. This is unfortunate as it increases the risk of bitrot, and we still need to pay the price of rate-limiting thread_collect_scan. * kern/thread.c (thread_collect_scan): Drop #if 0 around the body. * vm/vm_pageout.c (vm_pageout_scan): Do not call `consider_thread_collect' and document why.
2015-01-02kern: Fix typos in comments (found by codespell)Stefan Weil
Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>
2014-12-16kern: gracefully handle bogus sample pc sequence numberJustus Winter
If a sequence number larger than the sample control sequence number is supplied, `nsamples' becomes negative. Handle this gracefully. * kern/pc_sample.c (get_sampled_pcs): Handle bogus sequence number.
2014-12-09kern: provide notifications about new tasksJustus Winter
These notifications are sent to the port registered via `register_new_task_notification' and provide a robust parental relation between tasks to a userspace server. * Makefrag.am: Add task_notify.defs. * include/mach/gnumach.defs: Add register_new_task_notification. * include/mach/task_notify.defs: New file. * kern/task.c (new_task_notification): New variable. (task_create): Send new task notifications. (register_new_task_notification): Add server function. * kern/task_notify.cli: New file.
2014-12-07Fix pthread_create warning on translator terminationSamuel Thibault
This was due to task_terminate not actually properly suspending threads before disable the task port, which was thus preventing pthread_create from being able to create a stack. Thanks Gabriele Giacone for finding out a reproducer of this. * kern/task.h (task_hold_locked): New declaration. * kern/task.c (task_hold): Move the locked part of the code into... (task_hold_locked): ... new function. (task_terminate): Call task_hold_locked just before deactivating the task. Call ipc_task_disable after waiting for threads to actually suspend with task_dowait.
2014-12-01kern: disable all counters by defaultJustus Winter
Make all five non-conditional counters conditional ones. Casual checking revealed that the hits-to-miss ratio is excellent. * kern/counters.c: Make all counters conditional. * kern/counters.h: Likewise. * kern/ipc_sched.c: Likewise. * kern/sched_prim.c: Likewise.
