Since we have a DSL for specifying syscalls, we can create a verificaton
method for each syscall that can cover most argument (and eventually
capability) verification instead of doing it piecemeal in each syscall
implementation, which can be more error-prone.
Now a new _syscall_verify_* function exists for every syscall, which
calls the real implementation. The syscall table for the syscall handler
now maps to these verify functions.
Other changes:
- Updated the definition grammar to allow options to have a "key:value"
style, to eventually support capabilities.
- Added an "optional" option for parameters that says a syscall will
accept a null value.
- Some bonnibel fixes, as definition file changes weren't always
properly causing updates in the build dep graph.
- The syscall implementation function signatures are no longer exposed
in syscall.h. Also, the unused syscall enum has been removed.
This syscall allows a process to give another process access to an
object it has a handle to. The value of the handle as seen in the
receiver process is returned to the caller, so that the caller may
notify the recipient which handle was given.
This change adds a new interface DSL for specifying objects (with
methods) and interfaces (that expose objects, and optionally have their
own methods).
Significant changes:
- Add the new scripts/definitions Python module to parse the DSL
- Add the new definitions directory containing DSL definition files
- Use cog to generate syscall-related code in kernel and libj6
- Unify ordering of pointer + length pairs in interfaces
