@item serial.c
@itemx serial.h
Serial port driver. Again, @func{printf} calls this code for you,
-so you don't need to do so yourself. Feel free to look through it if
-you're curious.
+so you don't need to do so yourself.
+It handles serial input by passing it to the input layer (see below).
@item disk.c
@itemx disk.h
Supports reading and writing sectors on up to 4 IDE disks. This won't
actually be used until project 2.
+@item kbd.c
+@itemx kbd.h
+Keyboard driver. Handles keystrokes passing them to the input layer
+(see below).

+@item input.c
+@itemx input.h
+Input layer. Queues input characters passed along by the keyboard or
+serial drivers.

You are probably looking at a backtrace that looks something like this:

This is just confusing output from the @command{backtrace} program. It
thus loses the CPU and is moved to the ready queue. Now @var{L}'s
old priority is restored while it is in the ready queue.
+@item Can a thread's priority change while it is blocked?
+
+Yes. While a thread that has acquired lock @var{L} is blocked for any
+reason, its priority can increase by priority donation if a
+higher-priority thread attempts to acquire @var{L}. This case is
+checked by the @code{priority-donate-sema} test.
+
@item Can a thread added to the ready list preempt the processor?
Yes. If a thread added to the ready list has higher priority than the
@item How does @func{thread_set_priority} affect a thread receiving donations?
-It should do something sensible, but no particular behavior is
-required. None of the test cases call @func{thread_set_priority} from a
-thread while it is receiving a priority donation.
+It sets the thread's base priority. The thread's effective priority
+becomes the higher of the newly set priority or the highest donated
+priority. When the donations are released, the thread's priority
+becomes the one set through the function call. This behavior is checked
+by the @code{priority-donate-lower} test.
