Kernel syscall API no longer zeros all unused argument registers and
libc now uses inlined syscall macro internally. This significantly
cleans up generated code for basic syscall wrapper functions.
Instead of keeping track of the current time and rescheduling when
interval has passed, keep track of the next expected reschedule time.
This prevents theoretically missing every second pre-emption when
scheduler's timer is interrupting at same rate as the interval.
Initially allocate all physical memory except kernel memory and boot
modules. Before we just skipped all memory before kernel boot modules.
Also release memory used by boot modules after the kernel is up and
running. Once the boot modules are loaded, there is no need to keep them
in memory.
We now appreciate sa_mask and SA_NODEFER and change the signal mask for
the duration of signal handler. This is done by making a sigprocmask
syscall at the end of the signal handler. Back-to-back signals will
still grow stack as original registers are popped AFTER the block mask
is updated. I guess this is why linux has sigreturn(?).
Current cpu index is stored at either segment. If userspace sets that
segment, kernel will not overwrite it on every reschedule. This is fine
as long as user program does not use anything that relies on it :)
We need to have interrupts enabled when signal kills the process as
process does mutex locking. Also signals are now only checked when
returning to userspace in the same place where userspace segments are
loaded.
This removes unnecessary probing that lead to timeouts. Also cap codec
address at 14 instead of 15. My test laptop was duplicating codec 0 at
address 15 leading to duplicate devices.
Remove buffering from network layer and rework loopback interface.
loopback now has a separate recieve thread to allow concurrent sends and
prevent deadlocks
We now only send enough data to fill other ends window, not past that.
Previous logic had a but that allowed sending too much data leading to
retransmissions.
When the target sends zero window and later updates window size,
immediately retransmit non-acknowledged bytes.
Don't validate packets through listeing socket twice. The actual socket
will already verify the checksum so the listening socket does not have
to.
We now report actually available window size when sending packets. If
the available window size grows significantly we send an ACK to reflect
this to the remote.
