2022-08-17kernel: allocate notes in heapcinap_lenrek
de-bloat the proc structure by allocating notes with on the heap instead of embedding them in the proc structure. This saves around 640 bytes per process.
2022-08-17kernel: simplify notify() adding common popnote() functioncinap_lenrek
Handlin notes is common for all architectures except how the note has to be pushed on the user stack. This change adds a popnote() function that returns only the note string or nil if the process should not be notified (no notes or user notes hold off). Popnote() also handles common errors like notify during note handling or missing note handler and will suicide the process in that case.
2025-05-14kernel: get rid of Proc.kstackglenda
The kernel stack is now above the Proc structure, so the explicit kstack pointer can be eliminated.
2020-12-20kernel: handle tos and per process pcycle counters in port/cinap_lenrek
we might as well handle the per process cycle counter in the portable part instead of duplicating the code in every arch and have inconsistent implementations. we now have a portable kenter() and kexit() function, that is ment to be used in trap/syscall from user, which updates the counters. some kernels missed initializing Mach.cyclefreq.
2020-01-26kernel: implement portable userinit() and simplify process creationcinap_lenrek
replace machine specific userinit() by a portable implemntation that uses kproc() to create the first process. the initcode text is mapped using kmap(), so there is no need for machine specific tmpmap() functions. initcode stack preparation should be done in init0() where the stack is mapped and can be accessed directly. replacing the machine specific userinit() allows some big simplifications as sysrfork() and kproc() are now the only callers of newproc() and we can avoid initializing fields that we know are being initialized by these callers. rename autogenerated init.h and reboot.h headers. the initcode[] and rebootcode[] blobs are now in *.i files and hex generation was moved to portmkfile. the machine specific mkfile only needs to specify how to build rebootcode.out and initcode.out.

2015-04-30pass Ureg* argument to note handler in R0 register on armcinap_lenrek
userspace note handlers, like any function, expect ther first argument in R0 register on arm.
2014-11-09kernel: remove implicit Proc* argument from procctl()cinap_lenrek
procctl() is always called with up and it would not work correctly if passed a different process, so remove the Proc* argument and use up directly.
2014-01-20kernel: apply uintptr for ulong when a pointer is storedcinap_lenrek
this change is in preparation for amd64. the systab calling convention was also changed to return uintptr (as segattach returns a pointer) and the arguments are now passed as va_list which handles amd64 arguments properly (all arguments are passed in 64bit quantities on the stack, tho the upper part will not be initialized when the element is smaller than 8 bytes). this is partial. xalloc needs to be converted in the future.
2013-12-29kernel: dont call pprint() while holding up->debug qlockcinap_lenrek
pprint() might block or even (maliciously) call into devproc write which will corrupt the qlock chain on attempt to qlock up->debug again.
2013-05-30kernel: do all fp state fork from procfork() (like pc kernel)cinap_lenrek
this simplifies the arm ports and keeps all the stuff in one place instead of spreading it thru notify(), trap() and syscall() functions and prevents useless fp state copying for kernel procs. also make sure to save fp in notify while still splhi().
