1f44cd9dd9 Reworked Inode to have a dirty bit and subclass-implemented flush_metadata().
This way we can defer disk writes as long as we like. There's no automatic
flushing happening just yet.

038d8641f9 Implement utime() along with a naive /bin/touch.
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.

407bb3e76e Some coding style fixes. I'm getting more comfortable with this style. 2018-12-03 00:20:00 +01:00

85b886c2e0 Make it possible to build the Kernel on a macOS host.
It still requires an ELF compiler and linker, but at least it builds.
I need to get rid of the "Unix" namespace. This does a lot of that.

97c799576a Add close-on-exec flag for file descriptors.
I was surprised to find that dup()'ed fds don't share the close-on-exec flag.
That means it has to be stored separately from the FileDescriptor object.

19b9401487 Reduce kmalloc() traffic in directory iteration.
Pass the file name in a stack-allocated buffer instead of using an AK::String
when iterating directories. This dramatically reduces the amount of cycles
spent traversing the filesystem.

f1404aa948 Add primitive FIFO and hook it up to sys$pipe().
It's now possible to do this in bash:

cat kernel.map | fgrep List

This is very cool! :^)

03a8357e84 Implement sending signals to blocked-in-kernel processes.
This is dirty but pretty cool! If we have a pending, unmasked signal for
a process that's blocked inside the kernel, we set up alternate stacks
for that process and unblock it to execute the signal handler.

A slightly different return trampoline is used here: since we need to
get back into the kernel, a dedicated syscall is used (sys$sigreturn.)

This restores the TSS contents of the process to the state it was in
while we were originally blocking in the kernel.

NOTE: There's currently only one "kernel resume TSS" so signal nesting
definitely won't work.
