This syscall ends up disabling interrupts while changing the time,
and the clock is a global resource anyway, so preventing threads in the
same process from running wouldn't solve anything.
The obsolete ttyname and ptsname syscalls are removed.
LibC doesn't rely on these anymore, and it helps simplifying the Kernel
in many places, so it's an overall an improvement.
In addition to that, /proc/PID/tty node is removed too as it is not
needed anymore by userspace to get the attached TTY of a process, as
/dev/tty (which is already a character device) represents that as well.
The project appears to build just fine without it, and the explicit use
of `LibC` causes it to conflict with the system-wide `fd_set.h` when
building inside of Serenity.
Move the definitions for maximum argument and environment size to
Process.h from execve.cpp. This allows sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) to return
the actual argument maximum of 128 KiB to userspace.
This device will assist userspace to manage hotplug events.
A userspace application reads a DeviceEvent entry until the return value
is zero which indicates no events that are queued and waiting for
processing.
Trying to read with a buffer smaller than sizeof(DeviceEvent) results in
EOVERFLOW.
For now, there's no ioctl mechanism for this device but in the future an
acknowledgement mechanism can be implemented via ioctl(2) interface.
This function is an extended version of `chmod(2)` that lets one control
whether to dereference symlinks, and specify a file descriptor to a
directory that will be used as the base for relative paths.
Add them in `<Kernel/API/Device.h>` and use these to provides
`{makedev,major,minor}` in `<sys/sysmacros.h>`. It aims to be more in
line with other Unix implementations and avoid code duplication in user
land.
Previously, one could put '\b' in a keymap, but in non-Terminal
applications, it would just insert a literal '\b' character instead of
behaving like backspace. This patch modifes
`visible_code_point_to_key_code` to include backspace, as well as
renaming it to `code_point_to_key_code` since '\b' is not a visible
character. Additionally, `KeyboardDevice::key_state_changed` has been
rearranged to apply the user's keymap before checking for things like
caps lock.
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.
Much like the existing in6addr_any global and the IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT
macro, our LibC is also expected to export the in6addr_loopback global
and the IN6ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT constant.
These were found by the stress-ng port.
Most other syscalls pass address arguments as `void*` instead of
`uintptr_t`, so let's do that here too. Besides improving consistency,
this commit makes `strace` correctly pretty-print these arguments in
hex.
