This code has very ugly file parsing code. I have to create API
for reading files line by line in kernel space...
This allows users to open framebuffer/input files without root.
Mounting has to be moved to userspace soon. It makes no sense to
hard code permissions for every (device) file.
This function was used when processes could die at any point in time.
Now that processes can only die in known spots, we can be sure they
are not holding any locks. This allows much more performant locking.
Signal handling code was way too complex. Now everything is
simplified and there is no need for ThreadBlockers.
Only complication that this patch includes is that blocking syscalls
have to manually be made interruptable by signal. There might be some
clever solution to combat this is make this happen automatically.
Use this new FramebufferTerminalDriver for terminal instead of the
old VesaTerminalDriver. Only drawback with this is that framebuffer
device can only be intialized after DevFS is initialized.
Kernel now gets framebuffer from bootloader. Framebuffer dimensions
and bpp are hardcoded in bootloader, but will probably be read from
config file at some point.
Add "fast page" to KERNEL_OFFSET. This is always present in page
tables and only requires changing the page table entry to map. This
requires no interrupts since it should only be for very operations
like memcpy.
I used to map all temporary mappings to vaddr 0, but this is much
better. C++ standard always says that nullptr access is undefined
and this gets rid of it.
Fixed some bugs I found along the way
This commit consists of multiple big changes
1. blocks for inodes are now allocated on demand
- reading from non allocated block will just return zeroes
- writing to non allocated block allocates it
2. code doesn't really use raw pointers anymore
- all casts to uint32_t or structures are now replaced with
spans. either as<T> or as_span<T> which both are bounds
checked
3. code doesn't depend on random macros for accessing indirect blocks
- i added some recursive functions which take care of this :)
