The main point of this change is to allow "global" capabilities defined
on the base object type. The example here is the clone capability on all
objects, which governs the ability to clone a handle.
Related changes in this commit:
- Renamed `kobject` to `object` as far as the syscall interface is
concerned. `kobject` is the cname, but j6_cap_kobject_clone feels
clunky.
- The above change made me realize that the "object <type>" syntax for
specifying object references was also clunky, so now it's "ref <type>"
- Having to add `.object` on everywhere to access objects in
interface.exposes or object.super was cumbersome, so those properties
now return object types directly, instead of ObjectRef.
- syscall_verify.cpp.cog now generates code to check capabilities on
handles if they're specified in the definition, even when not passing
an object to the implementation function.
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
