2020-01-18Meta: Add license header to source filesAndreas Kling
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a comment block to the top of every source file. For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright holder instead. Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
2019-07-19Kernel+Userland: Addd reboot syscall (#334)Jesse
Rolling with the theme of adding a dialog to shutdown the machine, it is probably nice to have a way to reboot the machine without performing a full system powerdown. A reboot program has been added to `/bin/` as well as a corresponding `syscall` (SC_reboot). This syscall works by attempting to pulse the 8042 keyboard controller. Note that this is NOT supported on new machines, and should only be a fallback until we have proper ACPI support. The implementation causes a triple fault in QEMU, which then restarts the system. The filesystems are locked and synchronized before this occurs, so there shouldn't be any corruption etctera.
