This change adds a new interface DSL for specifying objects (with
methods) and interfaces (that expose objects, and optionally have their
own methods).
Significant changes:
- Add the new scripts/definitions Python module to parse the DSL
- Add the new definitions directory containing DSL definition files
- Use cog to generate syscall-related code in kernel and libj6
- Unify ordering of pointer + length pairs in interfaces
I'm a tabs guy. I like tabs, it's an elegant way to represent
indentation instead of brute-forcing it. But I have to admit that the
world seems to be going towards spaces, and tooling tends not to play
nice with tabs. So here we go, changing the whole repo to spaces since
I'm getting tired of all the inconsistent formatting.
- Add a tag field to all endpoint messages, which doubles as a
notification field
- Add a endpoint_bind_irq syscall to enable an endpoint to listen for
interrupt notifications. This mechanism needs to change.
- Add a temporary copy of the serial port code to nulldrv, and let it
take responsibility for COM2
Instead of making every callsite that may make a thread do a blocking
operation also invoke the scheduler, move that logic into thread
implementation - if the thread is blocking and is the current thread,
call schedule().
Related changes in this commit:
- Also make exiting threads and processes call the scheduler when
blocking.
- Threads start blocked, and get automatically added to the scheduler's
blocked list.
vm_space and page_table continue to take over duties from
page_manager:
- creation and deletion of address spaces / pml4s
- cross-address-space copies for endpoints
- taking over pml4 ownership from process
Also fixed the bug where the wrong process was being set in the cpu
data.
To solve: now the kernel process has its own vm_space which is not
g_kernel_space.
