only signal handler array sharable between threads
move other random signal stuff from struct proc to struct sigctx
This addresses kern/10981 by Matthew Orgass.
* __HAVE_SYSCALL_INTERN. If this is defined, e_syscall is replaced by
e_syscall_intern, which is called at key places in the kernel. This can be
used to set a MD syscall handler pointer. This obsoletes and replaces the
*_HAS_SEPARATED_SYSCALL flags.
* __HAVE_MINIMAL_EMUL. If this is defined, certain (deprecated) elements in
struct emul are omitted.
and adding it to allproc) after it's fully initialized.
this prevents the scheduler from coming in via a clock interrupt
and tripping over a partially-initialized proc.
emulation-specific data
add process exit, exec and fork function hooks into struct emul:
* e_proc_fork() - called in fork1() after the new forked process is setup
* e_proc_exec() - called in sys_execve() after the executed process is setup
* e_proc_exit() - called in exit1() after all the other process cleanups are
done, right before machine-dependant switch to new context; also called
for "old" emulation from sys_execve() if emulation of executed program and
the original process is different
This was discussed on tech-kern.

p_cpu member to struct proc. Use this in certain places when
accessing scheduler state, etc. For the single-processor case,
just initialize p_cpu in fork1() to avoid having to set it in the
low-level context switch code on platforms which will never have
multiprocessing.
While I'm here, comment a few places where there are known issues
for the SMP implementation.
doing a cpu_set_kpc(), just pass the entry point and argument all
the way down the fork path starting with fork1(). In order to
avoid special-casing the normal fork in every cpu_fork(), MI code
passes down child_return() and the child process pointer explicitly.
This fixes a race condition on multiprocessor systems; a CPU could
grab the newly created processes (which has been placed on a run queue)
before cpu_set_kpc() would be performed.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
write lock when doing PID allocation, and during the process exit path.
Use a read lock every where else, including within schedcpu() (interrupt
context). Note that holding the write lock implies blocking schedcpu()
from running (blocks softclock).
PID allocation is now MP-safe.
Note this actually fixes a bug on single processor systems that was probably
extremely difficult to tickle; it was possible that schedcpu() would run
off a bad pointer if the right clock interrupt happened to come in the
middle of a LIST_INSERT_HEAD() or LIST_REMOVE() to/from allproc.
the child inherits the stack pointer from the parent (traditional
behavior). Like the signal stack, the stack area is secified as
a low address and a size; machine-dependent code accounts for stack
direction.
This is required for clone(2).
parent, specified at fork time. Specify a new flag to wait4(2), WALTSIG,
to wait for processes which use an alternate exit signal.
This is required for clone(2).
- no longer conditionalized
- when traced, charge time to real parent, not debugger
- make it clear for future rototillers that p_estcpu should be moved
to the "copy" region of struct proc.
kthread_create(). Implement kthread_exit() (causes a thrad to exit).
Set P_NOCLDWAIT on kernel threads, which will cause any of their children
to be reparented to init(8) (which is already prepared to wait out orphaned
processes).
in the future):
- New function, fork_kthread(), takes entry point, argument for entry point,
and comment for new proc. May be called by any context, will fork the
thread from proc0 (requires slight changes to cpu_fork()).
- cpu_set_kpc() now takes a third argument, a void *arg to pass to the
thread entry point. Thread entry point now takes void * instead of
struct proc *.
- Create the pagedaemon and reaper kernel threads using fork_kthread().
the new proc structure when performing a fork. This makes it much
easier to abort a fork operation and return an error if we run out
of KVA space.
The U-area pages are still wired down in {,u}vm_fork(), as before.
(thus causing s_leader to become NULL) by storing the session ID separately
in the session structure. Export the session ID to userspace in the
eproc structure.
