private to the process within the share group.
There is one bit missing in this implementation: when replicating a change
in a process VM to the other process of the share group, we avoid copying
mappings for private regions in the target process, but we don't prevent
copying private regions from the source process.
memory fault handler. IRIX uses irix_vm_fault, and all other emulation
use NULL, which means to use uvm_fault.
- While we are there, explicitely set to NULL the uninitialized fields in
struct emul: e_fault and e_sysctl on most ports
- e_fault is used by the trap handler, for now only on mips. In order to avoid
intrusive modifications in UVM, the function pointed by e_fault does not
has exactly the same protoype as uvm_fault:
int uvm_fault __P((struct vm_map *, vaddr_t, vm_fault_t, vm_prot_t));
int e_fault __P((struct proc *, vaddr_t, vm_fault_t, vm_prot_t));
- In IRIX share groups, all the VM space is shared, except one page.
This bounds us to have different VM spaces and synchronize modifications
to the VM space accross share group members. We need an IRIX specific hook
to the page fault handler in order to propagate VM space modifications
caused by page faults.
usync_cntl() system calls.
- when usync_cntl is used and the process is aborted (eg: by kill -9)
libc does not call usync_cntl() to unblock things. We have to cleanup
data allocated in the kernel. This is now done through the emulation
specific exit hook
- IRIX initialize some data in the system part of the PRDA: the pid and
a prid (PRDA ID?). We initialize both to pid.
- Move back struct irix_share_group from irix_exec.h to irix_prctl.h, it
is more revelant here.
- fix a few typos
private area called PRDA that remains unshared. We implement this by using
different vmspace for each share group member, and keeping the memory
appings in sync on each mmap/munmap/mprotect/break...
We use irix_saddr_sync_vmcmd and irix_saddr_sync_syscall to apply a
vmcmd or a syscall to all share group member, this makes the job a bit
easier.
Also implements {get|set}rlimit{64}.
- First implementation of procblk(). THis is supposed to suspend processes.
We emulate this by sending a SIGSTOP, which is not very accurate since
on IRIX, sending a SIGCONT to a process suspended by procblk() will not
resume it.
- support for shared groups
