blocked in the kernel. The task that catched the exception may unblock
it by sending a reply to the exception message (Of course it will have
to change something so that the exception is not immediatly raised again).
Handling of this reply is a bit complicated, as the kernel acts as the
client instead of the server. In this situation, we receive a message
but we will not send any reply (the message we receive is already a reply).
I have not found anything better than a special case in
mach_msg_overwrite_trap() to handle this.
A surprise: exceptions ports are preserved accross forks.
While we are there, use appropriate 64 bit types for make_memory_entry_64.
may turn into exceptions on Mach: a small message sent by the kernel to
the task that requested the exception.
On Darwin, when an exception is sent, no signal can be delivered.
TODO: more exceptions: arithmetic, bad instructions, emulation, s
software, and syscalls (plain and Mach). There is also RPC alert, but
I have no idea about what it is.
While we are there, remove some user ktrace in notification code, and add
a NODEF qualifier in mach_services.master: it will be used for notifications
and exceptions, where the kernel is always client and never server: we
don't want the message to be displayed as "unimplemented xxx" in kdump (thus
UNIMPL is not good), but we don't want to generate the server prototype
(therefore, STD is not good either). NODEF will declare it normally in the
name tables without creating the prototype.
