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).
In Plan9 the create syscall fallback on a open(OTRUNC) if the
path provided already exists. This is actually a common requirement
as most programs (editors, cat...) simply requires that a file is
there and is empty, and doesn't care overwriting existing contents
(note that this is particularily sensible with something like fossil).
In Jehanne the application is responsible of actually handle this
"file exists" error but libc provides ocreate() to mimic the Plan9
behaviour. Note that ocreate introduce a subtle race too: the path
is walked several times if the file exists, thus it could misbehave
on concurrent namespace changes. However I guess this is not going to
happen often enough to care now.
NOTE we will probably address this rare race too, with a more drammatic change
to syscalls: a new walk() syscall that will provide an unopen fd.
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.
