2022-07-11user: reorganize the userland sourcesdzwdz
2022-07-11init: file_reopen, keep stdin/stdout on their standard fdsdzwdz
2022-07-11init/stdlib: a more posix-y file apidzwdz
2022-07-10init/tests: semaphore pipe-based testdzwdz
2022-07-10syscalls: implement dupdzwdz
2022-07-10init/lib: implement "evil semaphores"dzwdz
I started implementing native semaphores in the kernel, but then I've realized that I can implement them in userland using pipes. Thus, this hot garbage was born.
2022-07-09kernel/pipes: process queueingdzwdz
2022-07-09init/test: mostly clean up the existing testsdzwdz
2022-07-09syscalls/pipe: turn into a POSIX-style api with separate rw endsdzwdz
Without separate read/write ends you can't tell when there are no more writers left if you have multiple readers. Consider this piece of code: int fd = pipe(); fork(); // execution continues in 2 processes while (read(fd, &some_buf, sizeof somebuf) >= 0) { ... } Once both processes call `read()`, it's obvious that no writes are possible - all the processes that hold a reference to the pipe are currently stuck on a `read()` call, so the kernel could just make it return an error in both. But, what then? It's still possible to write to the pipe, and you can't know if the other process will do that. Thus, if you don't want to miss any output, you have to keep reading the pipe. Forever. Both processes end up stuck. Having separate read/write ends prevents that.
2022-07-08init/fs: remove fs_respond_delegate, clean updzwdz
2022-07-08syscall/fs_respond: get the file id from the buf argumentdzwdz
Previously, file ids could only be positive integers, so their range was 31 bits - not enough to represent the entire memory. Now, pointers can be safely used as file ids.
2022-07-07kernel/vfs: delegate support in _syscall_fs_respond!dzwdz
this is big in terms of speed, it avoids a lot of unnecessary context switches
2022-07-07shared: add a flags argument to _syscall_fs_responddzwdz
2022-07-06kernel: don't panic on nonexistent syscallsdzwdz

2022-04-14init: refactor printfdzwdz
2022-04-14init/fs: fix `fs_dir_inject`dzwdz
the loop wasn't bounder, so was copying garbage - including multiple null bytes also, the trailing slash was appended even if the injected path didn't have one
2022-04-13init/test: add a fork() stress testdzwdz
this currently crashes the kernel. the point is to stop it from doing that
2022-04-12shared: fix some minor warningsdzwdz
