Use jiffies() to implement times(); create namespace

2009-09-03T05:18:26+00:00

Use the core function jiffies() to implement times(), instead of
poking at the BIOS variable.

This creates a new need for a include file namespace for items
exported from the core for the purpose of the library (not intended
for direct use by applications).  Use the  namespace for
that.

core: hook INT 1Ch for a simple monotonic timer

2009-09-03T00:44:32+00:00

The BIOS_timer variable at 4C6h is somewhat unreliable... it is
documented to wrap at "midnight", norminally after 1627419 ticks
(0x18d51b), which is a rather awkward number to deal with modulo.
Instead, hook the INT 1Ch secondary timer interrupt and just count a
simple incrementing variable.

core: pxe: port the PXE idle function to C

call.

Core: get rid of passing com32sys_t structure as parameter in PMode

2009-08-30T21:51:38+00:00

Well, this molstly be about xxx_load_config function, with function type changed.
The new load_config function will return 1 if failed, or 0 if successed.

Core:pxelinux: code clean

2009-08-29T23:05:58+00:00

Two main things:
1. Redeclare the varibales that are't needed by any asm files in C file.
2. Move the extern statements of PXELINUX into pxe.h, instead of in core.h

Core:pxelinux: unload_pxe converted.

2009-08-29T21:37:30+00:00

I found it's also better to convert the unload_pxe, but I am not sure I'm right.

core: cleaner way to call kaboom from 32-bit code

2009-08-13T04:51:54+00:00

Make kaboom() a noreturn function directly callable from 32-bit code.
Do a special macro hack to keep it from interfering with the symbol
kaboom in 16-bit code.

core: make FILENAME_MAX common; librarize mangle/unmangle

2009-08-13T03:56:46+00:00

FILENAME_MAX was 2^8 in all variants by now; make it a common define.
Libraries mangle/unmangle; we have generic_mangle_name for Unix-like
filesystems, and unmangle now defaults to simple strcpy.
