1 /* This task handles the interface between the kernel and user-level servers.
2 * System services can be accessed by doing a system call. System calls are
3 * transformed into request messages, which are handled by this task. By
4 * convention, a sys_call() is transformed in a SYS_CALL request message that
5 * is handled in a function named do_call().
7 * A private call vector is used to map all system calls to the functions that
8 * handle them. The actual handler functions are contained in separate files
9 * to keep this file clean. The call vector is used in the system task's main
10 * loop to handle all incoming requests.
12 * In addition to the main sys_task() entry point, which starts the main loop,
13 * there are several other minor entry points:
14 * get_priv: assign privilege structure to user or system process
15 * set_sendto_bit: allow a process to send messages to a new target
16 * unset_sendto_bit: disallow a process from sending messages to a target
17 * send_sig: send a signal directly to a system process
18 * cause_sig: take action to cause a signal to occur via PM
19 * sig_delay_done: tell PM that a process is not sending
20 * umap_bios: map virtual address in BIOS_SEG to physical
21 * get_randomness: accumulate randomness in a buffer
22 * clear_endpoint: remove a process' ability to send and receive messages
25 * Nov 22, 2009 get_priv supports static priv ids (Cristiano Giuffrida)
26 * Aug 04, 2005 check if system call is allowed (Jorrit N. Herder)
27 * Jul 20, 2005 send signal to services with message (Jorrit N. Herder)
28 * Jan 15, 2005 new, generalized virtual copy function (Jorrit N. Herder)
29 * Oct 10, 2004 dispatch system calls from call vector (Jorrit N. Herder)
