and DEV_IOCTL_S as replacements for DEV_READ, DEV_WRITE, DEV_SCATTER,
DEV_GATHER and DEV_IOCTL. Instead of a direct address, the *_S commands
pass 'grant ids' to the drivers which are referenced through a new set
of copy calls (sys_safecopyfrom and sys_safecopyto). in order for this
copy to succeed, the grant must have previously been created in the
address space of the granter.
. bitmap manipulation functions moved to <minix/bitmap.h>
. HIGHPOS introduced as field containing high 32 bits of position in
device I/O message; TTY_FLAGS no longer used
. IO_GRANT field introduced for GRANTs, to replace ADDRESS
. REP_IO_GRANT field for un-SUSPEND messages introduced to indicate
grant for which I/O was done to disambiguate messages
. SYS_SAFECOPYFROM and SYS_SAFECOPYTO introduced as new calls
. SYS_PRIV_SET_GRANTS code introduced as a code to set the address and
size of the grant table in a process' own address space
. 'type' and 'direction' field of _ins* and _outs* I/O functions
are merged into one by ORing _DIO_INPUT/_DIO_OUTPUT and _DIO_BYTE/_DIO_WORD
etc. This allows for an additional parameter, _DIO_SAFE, which indicates
the address in another address space isn't actually an address, but
a grant id. Also needs an offset, for which fields had to be merged.
. SCP_* are field names for SYS_SAFECOPY* functions
. DIAGNOSTICS and GET_KMESS moved to their own range above DIAG_BASE,
added DIAGNOSTICS_S which is a grant-based variant of DIAGNOSTICS
. removed obsolete BINCOMPAT and SRCCOMPAT options
. added GRANT_SEG type for use in vircopy - allows copying to a grant
id (without offset)
. added _MINIX_IOCTL_* macros that decode information encoded by
_IO* macros in ioctl codes, used to check which grants are necessary
for an ioctl
. introduced the type endpoint_t for process endpoints, changed some
prototypes and struct field types to match
. renamed protected to prot for g++
OUTPUT_PROCS_ARRAY in <minix/config.h>, in that order, terminated by NONE.
log no longer forwards messages to tty itself. This leads to less funny
loops and more robust debug-message handling. Also the list of
processes receiving messages can easily be changed around or disabled by
editing the array (e.g. disable it by changing the array to { NONE }.).
other, user-includable config files. It only defines names that don't
pollute the users namespace (start with _). <minix/config.h> still works
like always; it includes sys_config.h now and defines the 'messy' names
(such as CHIP) as the 'cleaner' names (such as _MINIX_CHIP).
Changed some of the other include files to use sys_config.h and the
'cleaner' names. This solves some (past and future) compilation problems.
This was caused by a change in the shared driver code. Not log's fault.
Renamed #definitions of driver process numbers, e.g., TTY now is TTY_PROC_NR.
All known (special) processes now have consistent naming scheme. Kernel tasks
don't follow this scheme.
TTY: select and revive with new notify and FS call back;
kernel: removed old notify code; removed ugly prepare_shutdown timer
kputc: don't send to FS if PRINTF_PROC fails
- SIGKMESS: new kernel message (sent to TTY, IS, or LOG)
- SIGKSTOP: MINIX is shut down (sent to TTY-> switch to primary console)
- SIGKSIG: kernel signals pending (sent to PM)
Renamed SYS_SETPRIORITY to SYS_NICE.
The TTY driver now only notifies the IS server about function key event,
but does not tell which keys are pressed. The IS servers queries the TTY
driver to find out about this.
