source: trunk/kernel/syscalls/sys_exec.c @ 636

Last change on this file since 636 was 635, checked in by alain, 5 years ago

This version is a major evolution: The physical memory allocators,
defined in the kmem.c, ppm.c, and kcm.c files have been modified
to support remote accesses. The RPCs that were previously user
to allocate physical memory in a remote cluster have been removed.
This has been done to cure a dead-lock in case of concurrent page-faults.

This version 2.2 has been tested on a (4 clusters / 2 cores per cluster)
TSAR architecture, for both the "sort" and the "fft" applications.

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.
