bochs 2.2.6:
 | 
						|
./configure --enable-smp --enable-disasm --enable-debugger --enable-all-optimizations --enable-4meg-pages --enable-global-pages --enable-pae --disable-reset-on-triple-fault
 | 
						|
bochs CVS after 2.2.6:
 | 
						|
./configure --enable-smp --enable-disasm --enable-debugger --enable-all-optimizations --enable-4meg-pages --enable-global-pages --enable-pae 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
bootmain.c doesn't work right if the ELF sections aren't
 | 
						|
sector-aligned. so you can't use ld -N. and the sections may also need
 | 
						|
to be non-zero length, only really matters for tiny "kernels".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
kernel loaded at 1 megabyte. stack same place that bootasm.S left it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
kinit() should find real mem size
 | 
						|
  and rescue useable memory below 1 meg
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
no paging, no use of page table hardware, just segments
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
no user area: no magic kernel stack mapping
 | 
						|
  so no copying of kernel stack during fork
 | 
						|
  though there is a kernel stack page for each process
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
no kernel malloc(), just kalloc() for user core
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
user pointers aren't valid in the kernel
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
are interrupts turned on in the kernel? yes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
pass curproc explicitly, or implicit from cpu #?
 | 
						|
  e.g. argument to newproc()?
 | 
						|
  hmm, you need a global curproc[cpu] for trap() &c
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
no stack expansion
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
test running out of memory, process slots
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
we can't really use a separate stack segment, since stack addresses
 | 
						|
need to work correctly as ordinary pointers. the same may be true of
 | 
						|
data vs text. how can we have a gap between data and stack, so that
 | 
						|
both can grow, without committing 4GB of physical memory? does this
 | 
						|
mean we need paging?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
perhaps have fixed-size stack, put it in the data segment?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
oops, if kernel stack is in contiguous user phys mem, then moving
 | 
						|
users' memory (e.g. to expand it) will wreck any pointers into the
 | 
						|
kernel stack.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
do we need to set fs and gs? so user processes can't abuse them?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
setupsegs() may modify current segment table, is that legal?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
trap() ought to lgdt on return, since currently only done in swtch()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
protect hardware interrupt vectors from user INT instructions?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
test out-of-fd cases for creating pipe.
 | 
						|
test pipe reader closes then write
 | 
						|
test two readers, two writers.
 | 
						|
test children being inherited by grandparent &c
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
some sleep()s should be interruptible by kill()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
locks
 | 
						|
  init_lock
 | 
						|
    sequences CPU startup
 | 
						|
  proc_table_lock
 | 
						|
    also protects next_pid
 | 
						|
  per-fd lock *just* protects count read-modify-write
 | 
						|
    also maybe freeness?
 | 
						|
  memory allocator
 | 
						|
  printf
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
in general, the table locks protect both free-ness and
 | 
						|
  public variables of table elements
 | 
						|
  in many cases you can use table elements w/o a lock
 | 
						|
  e.g. if you are the process, or you are using an fd
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
lock order
 | 
						|
  per-pipe lock
 | 
						|
  proc_table_lock fd_table_lock kalloc_lock
 | 
						|
  console_lock
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
do you have to be holding the mutex in order to call wakeup()? yes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
device interrupts don't clear FL_IF
 | 
						|
  so a recursive timer interrupt is possible
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
what does inode->busy mean?
 | 
						|
  might be held across disk reads
 | 
						|
  no-one is allowed to do anything to the inode
 | 
						|
  protected by inode_table_lock
 | 
						|
inode->count counts in-memory pointers to the struct
 | 
						|
  prevents inode[] element from being re-used
 | 
						|
  protected by inode_table_lock
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
blocks and inodes have ad-hoc sleep-locks
 | 
						|
  provide a single mechanism?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
kalloc() can return 0; do callers handle this right?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
test: one process unlinks a file while another links to it
 | 
						|
test: one process opens a file while another deletes it
 | 
						|
test: deadlock d/.. vs ../d, two processes.
 | 
						|
test: dup() shared fd->off
 | 
						|
test: does echo foo > x truncate x?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
sh: support pipes?  leave it for the class?
 | 
						|
sh: dynamic memory allocation?
 | 
						|
sh: should sh support ; () &  --- need malloc
 | 
						|
sh: stop stdin on ctrl-d (for cat > y)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
really should have bdwrite() for file content
 | 
						|
  and make some inode updates async
 | 
						|
  so soft updates make sense
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
disk scheduling
 | 
						|
echo foo > bar should truncate bar
 | 
						|
  so O_CREATE should not truncate
 | 
						|
  but O_TRUNC should
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
make it work on a real machine
 | 
						|
release before acquire at end of sleep?
 | 
						|
check 2nd disk (i.e. if not in .bochsrc)
 |
