The SpinLock was all backwards and didn't actually work. Fixing it exposed
how wrong most of the locking here is.
I need to come up with a better granularity here.
- sys$readlink + readlink()
- Add a /proc/PID/exe symlink to the process's executable.
- Print symlink contents in ls output.
- Some work on plumbing options into VFS::open().
This is pretty inefficient for ext2fs. We walk the entire block group
containing the inode, searching through every directory for an entry
referencing this inode.
It might be a good idea to cache this information somehow. I'm not sure
how often we'll be searching for it.
Obviously there are multiple caching layers missing in the file system.
I also added a generator cache to FileHandle. This way, multiple
reads to a generated file (i.e in a synthfs) can transparently
handle multiple calls to read() without the contents changing
between calls.
The cache is discarded at EOF (or when the FileHandle is destroyed.)
