2021-09-11replace `user_ptr` with a linux-style `__user` annotationdzwdz
2021-09-08save the vfs_op_request in the process structdzwdz
2021-09-08process struct: replace the generic saved_addr with an uniondzwdz
2021-09-08scaffolding for user fs dispatchdzwdz
2021-09-04refactor finding empty handles to a functiondzwdz
2021-09-04rename file descriptors to handlesdzwdz
2021-08-24switch to using user_ptr for pointers coming from userlanddzwdz
this avoid accidental dereferences, and now it's easy to tell apart which pointers are safe to directly read and which aren't. cons: - const is completely discarded
2021-08-24replace () with (void) in function definitionsdzwdz
`()` means that any amt of arguments will be accepted, which isn't what i want
2021-08-24add some scaffolding for file descriptorsdzwdz

2021-08-22await() 2: pass the exit messagedzwdz
2021-08-18await() 1: wait for child to die, without message passingdzwdz
The length is a int, because the syscall will have a signed output. A negative return value will mean an error (such as when it gets called by a childless process).

2021-08-18rename process_clone to process_forkdzwdz
2021-08-18store the processes as a tree instead of a listdzwdz
I'm about to need that for waits(). There's no single list of processes for simplicity's sake, but the search will now be even slower and it might even introduce a potential vuln! How fun! Someone could override stuff in .bss with random values. I'll either make gcc check if it hasn't gone past the end of the stack, or turn this into a non recursive function.
2021-07-26rename process_new() to process_seed()dzwdz
it's only meant to create the root process, the old name could've been misleading
2021-07-26exit() now switches to the first running processdzwdz
i used a linked list because it's the simplest way to implement this
2021-07-26fork() pt 1: cloning process memorydzwdz

2021-07-20per-process virtual memorydzwdz
VGA is only mapped into the virtual memory because there are no other ways of interacting with the OS.
2021-07-10separate the source code from object files; more modular Makefiledzwdz
