There's no need to have separate syscall for this kind of functionality,
as we can just have a device node in /dev, called "beep", that allows
writing tone generation packets to emulate the same behavior.
In addition to that, we remove LibC sysbeep function, as this function
was never being used by any C program nor it was standardized in any
way.
Instead, we move the userspace implementation to LibCore.
This is a preparation before we can create a usable mechanism to use
filesystem-specific mount flags.
To keep some compatibility with userland code, LibC and LibCore mount
functions are kept being usable, but now instead of doing an "atomic"
syscall, they do multiple syscalls to perform the complete procedure of
mounting a filesystem.
The FileBackedFileSystem IntrusiveList in the VFS code is now changed to
be protected by a Mutex, because when we mount a new filesystem, we need
to check if a filesystem is already created for a given source_fd so we
do a scan for that OpenFileDescription in that list. If we fail to find
an already-created filesystem we create a new one and register it in the
list if we successfully mounted it. We use a Mutex because we might need
to initiate disk access during the filesystem creation, which will take
other mutexes in other parts of the kernel, therefore making it not
possible to take a spinlock while doing this.
The Linux `getopt_long` manpage tells users to reset `optind` to 1 when
scanning the same argument vector or a new argument vector again. This
makes sense, since `optind` denotes the _next_ option to be processed.
The behavior of setting `optind` to 0 doesn't seem to be specified
anywhere, so let's also remove that comment from `unistd.h`.
Some header files use __BEGIN_DECLS without including sys/cdefs.h.
This causes issues for C code that compiles against these headers,
which may occur with Ports.
This is a LibC function that POSIX defines to help userspace programs
to get suboptions. An example of a suboption is the token "pixclk" from
a Shell command running "edid-decode --gtf w=1024,h=768,pixclk=48".
The function should be run in a while loop to acquire all suboptions
until the last one.
This helper that originally appeared in 4.4BSD helps to daemonize
a process by forking, setting itself as session leader, chdir to "/" and
closing stdin/stdout.
In C++, a function declaration with an empty parameter list means that
the function takes no arguments. In C, however, it means that the
function takes an unspecified number of parameters.
What we did previously was therefore non-conforming. This caused a
config check to fail in the curl port, as it was able to redeclare
`rand` as taking an int parameter.
This modifies sys$chown to allow specifying whether or not to follow
symlinks and in which directory.
This was then used to implement lchown and fchownat in LibC and LibCore.
This change removes the halt and reboot syscalls, and create a new
mechanism to change the power state of the machine.
Instead of how power state was changed until now, put a SysFS node as
writable only for the superuser, that with a defined value, can result
in either reboot or poweroff.
In the future, a power group can be assigned to this node (which will be
the GroupID responsible for power management).
This opens an opportunity to permit to shutdown/reboot without superuser
permissions, so in the future, a userspace daemon can take control of
this node to perform power management operations without superuser
permissions, if we enforce different UserID/GroupID on that node.
We are not using this for anything and it's just been sitting there
gathering dust for well over a year, so let's stop carrying all this
complexity around for no good reason.
This was an old SerenityOS-specific syscall for donating the remainder
of the calling thread's time-slice to another thread within the same
process.
Now that Threading::Lock uses a pthread_mutex_t internally, we no
longer need this syscall, which allows us to get rid of a surprising
amount of unnecessary scheduler logic. :^)
