Create a syscall for drivers to be able to ask the kernel for a VMA that
maps a MMIO area. Also expose vm_flags via j6 table style include file
and new flags.h header.
There was previously no good way to block log-display tasks, either the
fb driver or the kernel log task. Now the system object has a signal
(j6_signal_system_has_log) that gets asserted when the log is written
to.
If there's no video, do as we did before, otherwise route logs to the fb
driver instead. (Need to clean this up to just have a log consumer
general interface?) Also added a "scrollback" class to fb driver and
updated the system_get_log syscall.
In order to implement capabilities on system resources like IRQs so that
they may be restricted to drivers only, add a new 'system' kobject type,
and move the bind_irq functionality from endpoint to system.
Also fix some stack bugs passing the initial handles to a program.
Added the syscalls/helpers.h file to templatize common kobject syscall
operations. Also moved most syscall implementations to using
process::current() and thread::current() instead of asking the
scheduler.
Implement the syscalls necessary for threads to create other threads in
their same process. This involved rearranging a number of syscalls, as
well as implementing object_wait and a basic implementation of a
process' list of handles.
