PS/2 seems to hit command timeout sometimes on slow emulation so
increase the timeouts.
Also move PS/2 device initialization to a different thread because
device indentification waits for timeouts.
This gets rid of a very old bug where kernel panics when thread is being
woken up and unblocked at the same time on different cores. This
required adding a new lock to SchedulerQueue::Node and adding a cap to
how many threads a threadblocker can simultaneously block. I don't think
I ever block more than five threads on the same ThreadBlocker so this
should be fine.
This allows banan-os to boot on hardware where we don't have working
storage driver or the storage driver fails (pretty common with my usb
mass storage drivers...)
This makes creating files and appending to then A LOT faster. Some code
I tested took 40 seconds in the previous implementation and less than a
second on the new one!
This code is really sketcy, I hope I'll never have to touch it again :)
Userspace can freely set terminal size, kernel just updates it when for
example new font is loaded. Also SIGWINCH is now sent by kernel instead
of userspace.
All block functions now take an optional mutex parameter that is
atomically unlocked instead of having the user unlock it before hand.
This prevents a ton of race conditions everywhere in the code!
- Fix race condition when adding packet to send buffer before other end
has acknowledged it
- Allow sending multiple packets before receiving ACK for previous ones
This event is sent when user presses ctrl+{F1-F12} and it will dump the
corresponding processor's stack trace. This is really helpful for
detecting deadlocks in the system
This removes the need to lock epoll's mutex when notifying epoll. This
prevents a ton of deadlocks when epoll is notified from an interrupt
handler or otherwise with interrupts disabled
Kernel now makes sure thread is not holding any spinlocks when it tries
to lock a mutex or yield. Spinlocks are supposed to be only used for
short times without the possibility of yielding
This implementation is on top of inodes instead of fds as linux does it.
If I start finding ports/software that relies on epoll allowing
duplicate inodes, I will do what linux does.
I'm probably missing multiple epoll_notify's which may cause hangs but
the system seems to work fine :dd:
Apparently text mode renders cursor in the *foreground* color. My
current clear function used the same color for foreground and background
making the cursor effectively invisible.
Also cursor hiding is now done by moving the cursor off bounds (0, height)
some website I read said this to be valid even on VGA compatible cards
without disable bit.

If pseudo terminal buffer was filled, old implementation would overwrite
old data. This is bad if producer is capable of producing more data than
consumer can handle.
This allows multiple threads to concurrently call the most common
blocking syscalls:
- read
- write
- accept
- connect
- sendto
- recv
- pselect
This prevents a dead lock when for example process is waiting on a pipe,
but unable to write to it since process is locked.
This is the beginning of starting to remove processes own lock from
syscall and locking only necessary parts.
