Differences From Artifact [e98ef79662]:

• File mod/kmem/heapao.fn.c — part of check-in [e50a476efe] at 2019-08-22 02:52:20 on branch trunk — removed sneaky segfault in x86-64 syscall fn where %r8 (the register that contains the pointer to the syscall arguments from the C syscall wrapper, which need to be copied into the correct registers before the kernel is invoked) gets overwritten if the syscall valency > 5, because of overlapping ccall and syscall ABI argument registers - r8 is clobbered by argument 5 and any further attempts to use it as a ptr segfault at best. also modified the report function so that it immediate cancels compilation if a sub-process reports failure. changed allocator function signatures so they can return a condition code if the kernel reports an error; updated example code so it compiles and runs without fault.

To Artifact [70c3679214]:

• File mod/kmem/heapo.fn.c — part of check-in [709ffb094d] at 2019-08-22 04:31:43 on branch trunk — finish moving heap allocation/free functions to the posix syscall apparatus and deprecate the direct assembly implementations of platform_mmap; update the kmem docs to match new function signatures (and remove typos) (user: lexi, size: 496) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]
