Update of /home/cvs/linux/include/asm-l4-i386
In directory sybille:/home/jw5/src/port/cosmetic_overhaul/include/asm-l4-i386
Modified Files:
ioctls.h
Log Message:
To be able to support multithreaded programms we need some information
about the currently used idt. We provide this information through a
new ioctl on /proc/l4.
The new ioctl returns the address of both idt's and the address of the
lock used to synchronize the user thread and the signal thread.
You can use this information to switch between different idt's and to
programm multi threaded within l4-linux. (Hint: you have to
synchronize pagefaults and system calls, since pagefaults are a
special case of a system call and it is not allowed that more then one
thread per task enters the kernel.)
