The SpinLock was all backwards and didn't actually work. Fixing it exposed
how wrong most of the locking here is.
I need to come up with a better granularity here.
I also added a generator cache to FileHandle. This way, multiple
reads to a generated file (i.e in a synthfs) can transparently
handle multiple calls to read() without the contents changing
between calls.
The cache is discarded at EOF (or when the FileHandle is destroyed.)
FileHandle gets a hasDataAvailableForRead() getter.
If this returns true in sys$read(), the task will block(BlockedRead) + yield.
The fd blocked on is stored in Task::m_fdBlockedOnRead.
The scheduler then looks at the state of that fd during the unblock phase.
This makes "sh" restful. :^)
There's still some problem with the kernel not surviving the colonel task
getting scheduled. I need to figure that out and fix it.
It's implemented as a separate process. How cute is that.
Tasks now have a current working directory. Spawned tasks inherit their
parent task's working directory.
Currently everyone just uses "/" as there's no way to chdir().
I added a dead-simple malloc that only allows allocations < 4096 bytes.
It just forwards the request to mmap() every time.
I also added simplified versions of opendir() and readdir().
Add a separate lock to protect the VFS. I think this might be a good idea.
I'm not sure it's a good approach though. I'll fiddle with it as I go along.
It's really fun to figure out all these things on my own.
