+ The system is now a bit simpler and hopefully easier to understand, while also
extending the shared memory to be 1:N, where there is one owner who
may become a zombie while waiting for the N to die.
|
|
+ Took some fairly significant changes, for one the kernel is no longer
relocated at the start of a boot, instead it sits wherever the user
decides the kernel should sit. Similarly, the initial kernel stack and
page table are stored within the binary, slightly bloating the size
but making it much safer to boot since there's really no chance of us
overwriting the fdt or initrd in memory.

+ Found it in newlib. This allows the compiler to more effectively
optimize away unnecessary register operations. Applied to both kernel
and init.c for a slight speed increase.
I really should move init.c to some other repository though, the
binary files are starting to get annoying

+ Now 10M alloc/frees succeed, which totals more memory than the virtual
machine has, so no too obvious leaks are occuring. For future
debugging speed, changed 10M to 1M.
+ Also quick fix to rpcs, stacks are now assigned. Not entirely sure why
they worked before this, but good that I found it.

+ Not strictly done yet, but we can swap between two processes :D

+ Slightly unsure if it should be a syscall, or if assign would be
enough. Also, which thread should run in a fork/spawn? For now, old
thread, though this might increase latency. Or add swap flag to these
calls?

+ Essentially, separate root process and remote procedure call handling.
I really should write down some documentation so I don't forget, but
essentially: All threads share a common process virtual memory, and
when a thread wants to make an rpc, it switches over to its own rpc
vmem space that is linked to the remote process.
