That function is meant more for user programs, and should still be rarely used, since it's not portable.
Instead, we already know the number of arguments. We just call __lc_fast_syscallN, which also sets errno.
This function is a Luna alternative to fork() and exec().
Why? Simply because I can't figure out for the life of me how to implement a working fork().
So meanwhile, we have spawn() as a replacement. exec() still exists, though.
That's why we now have a VFS and a /dev pseudo-filesystem. To provide that kind of things.
Remember, everything is a file!!
The new way to ask the kernel for random numbers is to read from /dev/random.
Kernel: Implement a descriptor struct which stores the opened node and read offset, and give each task 8 of those.
Implement three syscalls: sys_read, sys_open and sys_close (sys_write still writes to the console instead of using a fd, for now)
Implement three new errors: ENOENT, EBADF and EMFILE.
libc: Implement the new errors, and the new syscalls in syscall().
Also fix _RETURN_WITH_ERRNO() to set errno correctly, which was making strerror() return null, thus crashing perror().
userspace: make init demonstrate the new file API.
