source: trunk/kernel/syscalls/sys_exec.c @ 628

Last change on this file since 628 was 626, checked in by alain, 5 years ago

This version has been tested on the sort multithreaded application
for TSAR_IOB architectures ranging from 1 to 8 clusters.
It fixes three bigs bugs:
1) the dev_ioc device API has been modified: the dev_ioc_sync_read()
and dev_ioc_sync_write() function use now extended pointers on the
kernel buffer to access a mapper stored in any cluster.
2) the hal_uspace API has been modified: the hal_copy_to_uspace()
and hal_copy_from_uspace() functions use now a (cxy,ptr) couple
to identify the target buffer (equivalent to an extended pointer.
3) an implementation bug has been fixed in the assembly code contained
in the hal_copy_to_uspace() and hal_copy_from_uspace() functions.

41// This static function is called twice by the sys_exec() function :
42// - to register the main() arguments (args) in the exec_info structure.
43// - to register the environment variables (envs) in the exec_info structure.
44// In both cases the input is an array of string pointers in user space,
45// and a set of strings in user space.
46// We allocate one physical page to store a kernel copy of the array of pointers,
47// we allocate one or several physical pages to store the strings themselve,
48// and register these buffers and the number of strings in the exec_info structure.
49// The max number of strings is 1024 (for both args and envs). The numbers of pages
50// to store the (args) and (envs) strings are configuration parameters.
51///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
52// @ exec_info   : pointer on the exec_info structure.
53// @ is_args     : true if called for (args) / false if called for (envs).
54// @ u_pointers  : array of pointers on the strings (in user space).
55// @ return 0 if success / non-zero if too many strings or no more memory.
