- Process::exec() needs to restore the original paging scope when called
on a non-current process.
- Add missing InterruptDisabler guards around g_processes access.
- Only flush the TLB when modifying the active page tables.
This is really sweet! :^) The four instances of /bin/sh spawned at
startup now share their read-only text pages.
There are problems and limitations here, and plenty of room for
improvement. But it kinda works.
All right, we can now mmap() a file and it gets magically paged in from fs
in response to an NP page fault. This is really cool :^)
I need to refactor this to support sharing of read-only file-backed pages,
but it's cool to just have something working.
First of all, change sys$mmap to take a struct SC_mmap_params since our
sycsall calling convention can't handle more than 3 arguments.
This exposed a bug in Syscall::invoke() needing to use clobber lists.
It was a bit confusing to debug. :^)
This is dirty but pretty cool! If we have a pending, unmasked signal for
a process that's blocked inside the kernel, we set up alternate stacks
for that process and unblock it to execute the signal handler.
A slightly different return trampoline is used here: since we need to
get back into the kernel, a dedicated syscall is used (sys$sigreturn.)
This restores the TSS contents of the process to the state it was in
while we were originally blocking in the kernel.
NOTE: There's currently only one "kernel resume TSS" so signal nesting
definitely won't work.
Processes are either alive (with many substates), dead or forgiven.
A dead process is forgiven when the parent waitpid()s on it.
Dead orphans are also forgiven.
There's a lot of work to be done around this.
Also keep the canonical errno list in LibC for now. The kernel gets it
from there. This makes building 3rd party code easier.
..also fix broken strchr().
It only works for sending a signal to a process that's in userspace code.
We implement reception by synthesizing a PUSHA+PUSHF in the receiving process
(operating on values in the TSS.)
The TSS CS:EIP is then rerouted to the signal handler and a tiny return
trampoline is constructed in a dedicated region in the receiving process.
Also hacked up /bin/kill to be able to send arbitrary signals (kill -N PID)
