Any process X can get a new copy of the namespace of a target
process Y by writing the string "clone" to the ns file of Y.
The same user must own both processes.
The process writing the ns file must be allowed to mount.
The Pgrp of the calling process is then replaced with a new copy of
the Pgrp of the target process.
After the operation, any change done by X to its own namespace does
not affect Y. Also, if mount was forbidden for Y, it will also be
forbidden for X after the clone.
Awake can now interrupt several blocking syscalls (even
during note handling).
Among others, it can interrupt await, pread and pwrite.
It cannot interrupt several others for different reasons:
- awake cannot be interrupted by awake;
- syscalls like remove and create can be used for kernel comunication
and it would be hard to know if the effect occurred in the
receiving fs if they were interrupted;
- other syscalls do not need awake since they just provide access
to kernel infos (eg seek or fd2path)
NOTE: awakes registered before a note cannot occur during the note
handling and will be deferred till the next call to noted.
Jehanne's notes (like Plan9 ones) are not reentrant.
Thus an alarm can not be used to interrupt a syscall in a note handler.
Awake instead works properly also in a note handler.
With this commit all functions declared in libc.h have been renamed
with the "jehanne_" prefix. This is done for several reason:
- it removes conflicts during symbol resolution when linking
standard C libraries like newlib or musl
- it allows programs depending on a standard C library to directly
link to a library depending on our non standard libc (eg libsec).
To ease transiction two files are provided:
- sys/include/lib9.h that can be included instead of <libc.h> to use
the old names (via a simple set of macros)
- sys/src/lib/c/lib9.c that can be compiled with a program where the
macro provided by lib9.h are too dumb (see for example rc or grep).
In the kernel port/lib.h has been modified accordingly and some of
the functions it directly provides has been renamed too (eg malloc
in qmalloc.c and print in devcons.c).
Added wdir to devself and devproc:
- read '#0/wdir' to get the working directory of the calling process
NOTE that a read(fd, nil, -1) will return the negated length
of the working directory, just in case you want to
allocate the memory required
- read '/proc/n/wdir' to know the working directory of process n
(read(fd, nil, -1) still returns the negated length)
- write '#0/wdir' to change the working directory of the calling process
NOTE: no offset is allowed and the provided string must
be null terminated
- write '/proc/n/wdir' to change the working directory of process n
NOTE: no offset is allowed and the provided string must
be null terminated; moreover if another process change the working
directory change during the write, the current process will
receive an error.
In libc updated getwd() and chdir().
Also modified pwd to get advantage of the new file.
To test, run /arch/amd64/qa/kern/wdir.rc or simply try
% pwd
/usr/glenda
% echo -n /tmp > /proc/$pid/wdir
% pwd
/tmp
% cat '#0/wdir' && echo
/tmp
The expected use cases for wdir in devproc are rio and acme.
Also, note that we could theoretically remove the cd builtin
from rc and simply implement it as a rc function.
We don't do that to preserve rc portability to other OS.
Devself provides to each process access to its own structures.
So far it contains four files:
- pid
- ppid
- pipes used to implement pipe(2)
- segments used to implement segattach, segdetach and segfree
Jehanne is going to use a new file protocol, but Plan 9 is really
coupled with 9P2000.
Renamed fcall.h as 9P2000.h and introduced specific constants such
as NP_OREAD, NP_OWRITE and so on, so that we can use different values
in the kernel and new protocol.
Renamed devmnt to devninep, since it's actually a device serving 9P2000
file systems.
Also, fixed 9P2000 support in Jehanne, that was broken with the introduction
of OSTAT.
