This is the first of two rather big changes to clean up includes
throughout the project. In this commit, the implicit semi-dependency on
libc that bonnibel adds to every module is removed. Previously, I was
sloppy with includes of libc headers and include directory order. Now,
the freestanding headers from libc are split out into libc_free, and an
implicit real dependency is added onto this module, unless `no_libc` is
set to `True`. The full libc needs to be explicitly specified as a
dependency to be used.
Several things needed to change in order to do this:
- Many places use `memset` or `memcpy` that cannot depend on libc. The
kernel has basic implementations of them itself for this reason. Now
those functions are moved into the lower-level `j6/memutils.h`, and
libc merely references them. Other modules are now free to reference
those functions from libj6 instead.
- The kernel's `assert.h` was renamed kassert.h (matching its `kassert`
function) so that the new `util/assert.h` can use `__has_include` to
detect it and make sure the `assert` macro is usable in libutil code.
- Several implementation header files under `__libj6/` also moved under
the new libc_free.
- A new `include_phase` property has been added to modules for Bonnibel,
which can be "normal" (default) or "late" which uses `-idirafter`
instead of `-I` for includes.
- Since `<utility>` and `<new>` are not freestanding, implementations of
`remove_reference`, `forward`, `move`, and `swap` were added to the
`util` namespace to replace those from `std`, and `util/new.h` was
added to declare `operator new` and `operator delete`.
Using `-fvisibility=hidden` when building the kernel, and then
`--discard-all` when stripping it, we shave almost 100KiB off of the
resulting ELF file.
Also dropped some unused symbols from the linker script, and rearranged
the sections so that the file is able to be mapped directly into memory
instead of having each section copied.
It felt clunky to have zstd.module in src/libraries/zstd by itself, and
doesn't make much sense in src/libraries as it's an external library
anyway.
Now the ./configure script will pick up .module files in the top-level
external directory as well.
Eventually the UEFI headers should be brought in from their own project,
but for now, like the other projects under external/, these are being
copied into this repository.
