This is pretty cool. :^)
GraphicsBitmaps are now mapped into both the server and the client address
space (usually at different addresses but that doesn't matter.)
Added a GUI syscall for getting a window's backing store, and another one
for invalidating a window so that the server redraws it.
Userspace programs can now open /dev/gui_events and read a stream of GUI_Event
structs one at a time.
I was stuck on a stupid problem where we'd reenter Scheduler::yield() due to
having one of the has_data_available_for_reading() implementations using locks.
It walks all the live Inode objects and flushes pending metadata changes
wherever needed.
This could be optimized by keeping a separate list of dirty Inodes,
but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
This synchronous approach to inodes is silly, obviously. I need to rework
it so that the in-memory CoreInode object is the canonical inode, and then
we just need a sync() that flushes pending changes to disk.
The kernel now bills processes for time spent in kernelspace and userspace
separately. The accounting is forwarded to the parent process in reap().
This makes the "time" builtin in bash work.
(Don't) use this to implement short-form output in ls.
I'm too tired to make a nice column formatting algorithm.
I just wanted something concise when I type "ls".
I was surprised to find that dup()'ed fds don't share the close-on-exec flag.
That means it has to be stored separately from the FileDescriptor object.
After I made stdio buffered, we were dropping anything unflushed on exit.
Since /bin/clear just prints out some escape sequences without a newline,
the entire buffer was being discarded.
Also add VirtualConsole::clear() that handles clearing of background VC's.
All right, we can now mmap() a file and it gets magically paged in from fs
in response to an NP page fault. This is really cool :^)
I need to refactor this to support sharing of read-only file-backed pages,
but it's cool to just have something working.
First of all, change sys$mmap to take a struct SC_mmap_params since our
sycsall calling convention can't handle more than 3 arguments.
This exposed a bug in Syscall::invoke() needing to use clobber lists.
It was a bit confusing to debug. :^)
Also keep the canonical errno list in LibC for now. The kernel gets it
from there. This makes building 3rd party code easier.
..also fix broken strchr().
