/* This file contains essentially all of the process and message handling.
 * Together with "mpx.s" it forms the lowest layer of the MINIX kernel.
 * There is one entry point from the outside:
 *
 *   sys_call: 	      a system call, i.e., the kernel is trapped with an INT 
 *
 * As well as several entry points used from the interrupt and task level:
 *
 *   lock_notify:     send a notification to inform a process of a system event
 *   lock_send:	      send a message to a process
 *   lock_ready:      put a process on one of the ready queues so it can be run
 *   lock_unready:    remove a process from the ready queues
 *   lock_sched:      a process has run too long; schedule another one
 *   lock_pick_proc:  pick a process to run (used by system initialization)
 *
 * Changes:
 *         , 2005     better protection in sys_call()  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   May 26, 2005     optimized message passing functions  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   May 24, 2005     new, queued NOTIFY system call  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Oct 28, 2004     new, non-blocking SEND and RECEIVE  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Oct 28, 2004     rewrite of sys_call() function  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *   Aug 19, 2004     generalized multilevel scheduling  (Jorrit N. Herder)
 *
 * The code here is critical to make everything work and is important for the
 * overall performance of the system. A large fraction of the code deals with
 * list manipulation. To make this both easy to understand and fast to execute 
 * pointer pointers are used throughout the code. Pointer pointers prevent
 * exceptions for the head or tail of a linked list. 
 *
 *  node_t *queue, *new_node;	// assume these as global variables
 *  node_t **xpp = &queue; 	// get pointer pointer to head of queue 
 *  while (*xpp != NULL) 	// find last pointer of the linked list
 *      xpp = &(*xpp)->next;	// get pointer to next pointer 
 *  *xpp = new_node;		// now replace the end (the NULL pointer) 
 *  new_node->next = NULL;	// and mark the new end of the list
 * 
 * For example, when adding a new node to the end of the list, one normally 
 * makes an exception for an empty list and looks up the end of the list for 
 * nonempty lists. As shown above, this is not required with pointer pointers.
