The manifest can now supply a list of boot flags, including "test".
Those get turned into the bootproto::args::flags field by the
bootloader. The kernel takes those and uses the test flag to control
enabling syscalls with the new "test" attribute, like the new
test_finish syscall, which lets automated tests call back to the kernel
to shut down the system.
While bonnibel already had the concept of a manifest, which controls
what goes into the built disk image, the bootloader still had filenames
hard-coded. Now bonnibel creates a 'jsix_boot.dat' file that tells the
bootloader what it should load.
Changes include:
- Modules have two new fields: location and description. location is
their intended directory on the EFI boot volume. description is
self-explanatory, and is used in log messages.
- New class, boot::bootconfig, implements reading of jsix_boot.dat
- New header, bootproto/bootconfig.h, specifies flags used in the
manifest and jsix_boot.dat
- New python module, bonnibel/manifest.py, encapsulates reading of the
manifest and writing jsix_boot.dat
- Syntax of the manifest changed slightly, including adding flags
- Boot and Kernel target ccflags unified a bit (this was partly due to
trying to get enum_bitfields to work in boot)
- util::counted gained operator+= and new free function util::read<T>
