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.
(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".
- Process::exec() needs to restore the original paging scope when called
on a non-current process.
- Add missing InterruptDisabler guards around g_processes access.
- Only flush the TLB when modifying the active page tables.
This is quite cool! The syscall entry point plumbs the register dump
down to sys$fork(), which uses it to set up the child process's TSS
in order to resume execution right after the int 0x80 fork() call. :^)
This works pretty well, although there is some problem with the kernel
alias mappings used to clone the parent process's regions. If I disable
the MM::release_page_directory() code, there's no problem. Probably there's
a premature freeing of a physical page somehow.
