+ A bit easier to implement just ignoring the ipc_resp() arguments than
try to enforce that a notification is exited from by ipc_ghost(),
especially in cases where the root process has been killed.

+ ipc_kick() does a forward and a tail at the same time
The idea with ipc_tail() is to allow 'trusted' calls, so for example a
process is not allowed to willy-nilly open a file, as it has to go via
init(), making the eid 1. This way the receiver can know that the
request has gone through init() and can open up a new connection
(file, whatever) after which requests from that pid/tid are allowed
without init() intervention

+ Current setup will likely not last long, just a stopgap until I figure
out how I want to build each testcase etc.
Probably dir based, but I'll probably add some scripts that generate
the build rules for each test case (or binary?). Also, should probably
put ouput files in a build directory and keep the source clean, but
again, good enough for now.
Will have to start implementing more extensive tests, and probably
come up with some way to compare textual output etc.

+ Can be used to pass contiguous memory regions to things like virtio
block devices for implementing disk drivers etc.
|
|
+ Effectively means that all executables can be called into, but if an
exe doesn't want to deal with anyone else it should just set a flag
like `not_really_a_server` or whatever
|
|
+ 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.
|
|
+ Allow threads to make themselves become orphants
|
|
+ Should write this down somewhere but the idea is that when a process
gets killed, it frees all the memory it can, making all threads within
that process orphans. Orphaned threads are assigned to the init
process, which will generally call exit() on each one. Zombie threads
are threads that own some bit of shared data, and whose reference
count is above zero. They may not be swapped to or called, even though
they take up space in thread map and reserve their thread ID.

+ Still largely untested, should really try to come up with a proper
testsuite, at the moment it's mostly me trying things out in the (as
of yet unreleased) kmx repo
|
|
+ Terminology is still a bit poor, and will still have to write
documentation + implement ipis properly
|
|
+ Sets the current core to sleep
|
|
+ I keep starting to type src and wondering why autocomplete won't work,
I guess src is just uncounciously a better name
