and a body.
- If mach_init is not availabkle for boostrap requests, try to handle them
in the kernel (we don't really handle them, we just try to avoid hanging there)
- minor tweaks.
1) rights should be shared by the threads within a process. While it would
be easier to handle this with the struct proc/struct lwp split, we attempt to
do this now by sharing the right lists. Because each right holds a reference
to struct proc, this might cause some problems later.
2) in pthread_exit, really exit the thread. Also reintialize the righ tlist to
make sure we will not destroy the parent's right list
3) rights can hold multiple permissions on a port (ie: send and receive). Fix th
is.
4) first attempt on right carried by messages. We still have to do rights carrie
d in the message body (complex messages).
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.
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()
