* Name: pg_miss
*
* Description:
* This function is called from architecture-specific memory segmentaion
* fault handling logic. This function will perform the following
* operations:
*
* 1) Sanity checking.
* - ASSERT if the currently executing task is the page fill worker
* thread. The page fill worker thread is how the the page fault
* is resolved and all logic associated with the page fill worker
* must be "locked" and always present in memory.
* 2) Block the currently executing task.
* - Call up_block_task() to block the task at the head of the ready-
* to-run list. This should cause an interrupt level context switch
* to the next highest priority task.
* - The blocked task will be marked with state TSTATE_WAIT_PAGEFILL
* and will be retained in the g_waitingforfill prioritized task
* list.
* 3) Boost the page fill worker thread priority.
* - Check the priority of the task at the head of the g_waitingforfill
* list. If the priority of that task is higher than the current
* priority of the page fill worker thread, then boost the priority
* of the page fill worker thread to that priority.
* 4) Signal the page fill worker thread.
* - Is there a page fill pending? If not then signal the worker
* thread to start working on the queued page fill requests.
*
* Input Parameters:
* None - The head of the ready-to-run list is assumed to be task that
* caused the exception.
*
* Returned Value:
* None - Either this function function succeeds or an assertion occurs.
*
* Assumptions:
* - It is assumed that this function is called from the level of an
* exception handler and that all interrupts are disabled.
* - It is assumed that currently executing task (the one at the head of
* the ready-to-run list) is the one that cause the fault. This will
* always be true unless the page fault occurred in an interrupt handler.
* Interrupt handling logic must always be present and "locked" into
* memory.
* - The chip-specific page fault exception handler has already verified
* that the exception did not occur from interrupt/exception handling
* logic.
* - As mentioned above, the task causing the page fault must not be the
* the page fill worker thread because that is the only way to complete
* the page fill.
*
* NOTES:
* 1. One way to accomplish this would be a two pass link phase:
* - In the first phase, create a partially linked objected containing
* all interrupt/exception handling logic, the page fill worker thread
* plus all parts of the IDLE thread (which must always be available
* for execution).
* - All of the .text and .rodata sections of this partial link should
* be collected into a single section.
* - The second link would link the partially linked object along with
* the remaining object to produce the final binary. The linker
* script should position the "special" section so that it lies
* in a reserved, "non-swappable" region.
