core: thread: add a "timeouts" pointer to the thread structure

2009-09-10T05:24:55+00:00

Add a "timeouts" pointer to the thread structure; this is a private
per-thread pointer for the benefit of lwIP.  This is ad hoc, but a lot
easier than implementing TLS.

core: thread: have start_thread() allocate memory dynamically

2009-09-09T16:07:58+00:00

Have start_thread() allocate memory dynamically, using malloc().
XXX: should probably free that memory in __exit_thread()... could be
"interesting".

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

2009-09-01T23:59:46+00:00

Port the PXE idle function to C; make the idle hook a protected-mode
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.
