2006-08-16proc[0] can sleep(), at least after it gets to main00()rtm
proc[0] calls iget(rootdev, 1) before forking init
2006-08-15no more proc[] entry per cpu for idle looprtm
each cpu[] has its own gdt and tss no per-proc gdt or tss, re-write cpu's in scheduler (you win, cliff) main0() switches to cpu[0].mpstack

2006-08-10interrupts could be recursive since lapic_eoi() called before rtirtm
so fast interrupts overflow the kernel stack fix: cli() before lapic_eoi()
2006-08-08fix race in holding() check in acquire()rtm
give cpu1 a TSS and gdt for when it enters scheduler() and a pseudo proc[] entry for each cpu cpu0 waits for each other cpu to start up read() for files

2006-07-16standardize on not using foo_ prefix in struct foorsc
2006-07-16New scheduler.rsc
Removed cli and sti stack in favor of tracking number of locks held on each CPU and explicit conditionals in spinlock.c.
2006-07-15no more recursive locksrtm
wakeup1() assumes you hold proc_table_lock sleep(chan, lock) provides atomic sleep-and-release to wait for condition ugly code in swtch/scheduler to implement new sleep fix lots of bugs in pipes, wait, and exit fix bugs if timer interrupt goes off in schedule() console locks per line, not per byte
2006-07-12passes both usertestsrtm
exit had acquire where I meant release swtch now checks that you hold no locks
2006-07-12i think my cmpxchg use was wrong in acquirertm
nesting cli/sti: release shouldn't always enable interrupts separate setup of lapic from starting of other cpus, so cpu() works earlier flag to disable locking in console output make locks work even when curproc==0 (still crashes in clock interrupt)
2006-07-12no more big kernel lockrtm
succeeds at usertests.c pipe test

2006-07-11Changes to allow use of native x86 ELF compilers, which on myrsc
Linux 2.4 box using gcc 3.4.6 don't seem to follow the same conventions as the i386-jos-elf-gcc compilers. Can run make 'TOOLPREFIX=' or edit the Makefile. curproc[cpu()] can now be NULL, indicating that no proc is running. This seemed safer to me than having curproc[0] and curproc[1] both pointing at proc[0] potentially. The old implementation of swtch depended on the stack frame layout used inside swtch being okay to return from on the other stack (exactly the V6 you are not expected to understand this). It also could be called in two contexts: at boot time, to schedule the very first process, and later, on behalf of a process, to sleep or schedule some other process. I split this into two functions: scheduler and swtch. The scheduler is now a separate never-returning function, invoked by each cpu once set up. The scheduler looks like: scheduler() { setjmp(cpu.context); pick proc to schedule blah blah blah longjmp(proc.context) } The new swtch is intended to be called only when curproc[cpu()] is not NULL, that is, only on behalf of a user proc. It does: swtch() { if(setjmp(proc.context) == 0) longjmp(cpu.context) } to save the current proc context and then jump over to the scheduler, running on the cpu stack. Similarly the system call stubs are now in assembly in usys.S to avoid needing to know the details of stack frame layout used by the compiler. Also various changes in the debugging prints.
