[committed mach 4/4] i386: specialize `copyinmsg' and `copyoutmsg'

Previously, `copyinmsg' was the same function as `copyin'. The former is for messages, and the size of messages is a multiple of four. Likewise for `copyoutmsg'. Provide a specialized version of both functions. This shaves off a couple of instructions and improves our IPC performance. * i386/i3

[committed mach 2/4] kern: improve assert

Use the ternary operator to implement `assert' like it is done in the glibc. The glibcs changelog does not mention the rationale behind this change, but doing the same seems to improve our IPC performance. * kern/assert.h (assert): Define macro using the ternary operator. --- kern/assert.h | 7 +

e2fsck of non-root filesystem failing at boot time, because already mounted?

Hi! As in the subject, and see the attached QEMU screenshot. Has something been changed in the boot process ("startup" is new; Justus CCed ;-) just in case) that would cause this non-root filesystem to be mounted that early, so that e2fsck can't then process it anymore? "Erich" has not needed a

[committed mach 1/2] kern: avoid #if 0ing out thread_collect_scan

Currently, `thread_collect_scan' does nothing because `pcb_collect' is a nop. Its body is exempt from compilation by means of the preprocessor. This is unfortunate as it increases the risk of bitrot, and we still need to pay the price of rate-limiting thread_collect_scan. * kern/thread.c (thread

Reduce the size of `struct thread' by twelve bytes making it fit into exactly five cache lines (on 32-bit platforms). * kern/thread.h (struct thread): Group the state and all flags in a bitfield. (TH_EV_WAKE_ACTIVE, TH_EV_STATE): Provide macros that generate keys for synchronization primitives lik
