This does not buy us new functionnality for now, because we still have to
discover how mach_init (which acts as a name server, enabling processes to
discover each other's ports) is able to receive messages from other processes
(this is a bootstrap problem, and the bootstrap port might be the place to
search).
While we are there:
- removed a lot of debug which is now available using ktrace.
- reworked message handling to avoid mutliple copyin/copyout of the
same data. ktrace of Mach message now uses the in-kernel copy of the
message instead of copying it from userland.
- packed mach trap handlers arguments into a structure to avoid modifying
everything next time we have to add an argument.
mach_port_move_member, mach_port_set_attributes, mach_task_set_special_port,
(none do anything)
Added mach_thread_create_running, which creates a new Mach thread. It
provides the register context of the new thread. We use it in a child
function provided to fork1(). The child function is machine dependent and
is not yet implemented for i386.
The new thread crashes quickly, but at least it starts.
used to get and set the thread user value, which is an opaque pointer to
a per thread structure stored in userland. cthread_self() is used by Darwin
as an implementation for pthread_self(), which return the thread id.
We use the p_emuldata field of struct proc in order to keep track of the
thread user value. For now the value is per-process, but we will make it
per-thread when we will take care of threading.
While we are there, do some KNF
Check for target buffer length, and fail if it is too short
Move mach_msg_trap and mach_msg_overwrite_trap to their own file
Remove some useless debug messages now we have ktrace
Remove __P()
macho_hdr, argc, *argv, NULL, *envp, NULL, progname, NULL,
*progname, **argv, **envp
Where progname is a pointer to the program name as given in the first
argument to execve(), and macho_hdr a pointer to the Mach-O header at
the beginning of the executable file.
is already used, we want to remap to another place. The vmcmd must be
completely rebuild, else things does not work as expected, as the vmcmd has
been modified by the first mapping attempt.
the binary on the second launch.
In mach_vm_map, hack in a failure so that we fail exactly like Darwin when
mapping a page at address 0
Add vm_allocate trap
ppccalls, with system call numbers starting at 0x6000
fasttraps, with system call numbers starting at 0x7FF0
Because the Mach system call dispatching code has grown a bit
too much, introduce an inline function to handle it (mach_syscall_dispatch).
While we are there, remove the Mach and Linux includes from
arch/powerpc/powerpc/syscall.c and push them into
arch/powerpc/powerpc/{mach|linux}_syscall.c
