We now make three VirtualConsoles at boot: tty0, tty1, and tty2.
We launch an instance of /bin/sh in each one.
You switch between them with Alt+1/2/3
How very very cool :^)
This doesn't mean we get any line editing just yet. But the keyboard device
now recognizes the backspace key, and the console device knows what to do
with the backspace characters.
FileHandle gets a hasDataAvailableForRead() getter.
If this returns true in sys$read(), the task will block(BlockedRead) + yield.
The fd blocked on is stored in Task::m_fdBlockedOnRead.
The scheduler then looks at the state of that fd during the unblock phase.
This makes "sh" restful. :^)
There's still some problem with the kernel not surviving the colonel task
getting scheduled. I need to figure that out and fix it.
- Turn Keyboard into a CharacterDevice (85,1) at /dev/keyboard.
- Implement MM::unmapRegionsForTask() and MM::unmapRegion()
- Save SS correctly on interrupt.
- Add a simple Spawn syscall for launching another process.
- Move a bunch of IO syscall debug output behind DEBUG_IO.
- Have ASSERT do a "cli" immediately when failing.
This makes the output look proper every time.
- Implement a bunch of syscalls in LibC.
- Add a simple shell ("sh"). All it can do now is read a line
of text from /dev/keyboard and then try launching the specified
executable by calling spawn().
There are definitely bugs in here, but we're moving on forward.
