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.
For each test, if a script exists with the same name of the test
plus the .runner suffix, the runner is run instead of the test.
As a first example qa/lib/newlib/testsuite/atexit is run by
qa/lib/newlib/testsuite/atexit.runner.
These .runner scripts allow more complex checks of the side effects
generated by the test.
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).
These new implementations
- do several validity check on input parameters
- allow a bit larger variable names (127 bytes, aka sizeof(Proc.genbuf)-1)
- preserve nulls in the content (the original version used to replace
'\0' with ' '). I can't see why they did, actually.
