  1 # read: analogously to write, support reading from in-memory streams in
  2 # addition to file descriptors.
  3 #
  4 # We can pass it either a file descriptor or an address to a stream. If a
  5 # file descriptor is passed in, we _read from it using the right syscall. If a
  6 # stream is passed in (a fake file descriptor), we read from it instead. This
  7 # lets us initialize input for tests.
  8 #
  9 # A little counter-intuitively, the output of 'read' ends up in.. a stream. So
 10 # tests end up doing a redundant copy. Why? Well, consider the alternatives:
 11 #
 12 #   a) Reading into a string, and returning a pointer to the end of the read
 13 #   region, or a count of bytes written. Now this count or end pointer must be
 14 #   managed separately by the caller, which can be error-prone.
 15 #
 16 #   b) Having 'read' return a buffer that it allocates. But there's no way to
 17 #   know in advance how large to make the buffer. If you read less than the
 18 #   size of the buffer you again end up needing to manage initialized vs
 19 #   uninitialized memory.
 20 #
 21 #   c) Creating more helpful variants like 'read-byte' or 'read-until' which
 22 #   also can take a file descriptor or stream, just like 'write'. But such
 23 #   primitives don't exist in the Linux kernel, so we'd be implementing them
 24 #   somehow, either with more internal buffering or by making multiple
 25 #   syscalls.
 26 #
 27 # Reading into a stream avoids these problems. The buffer is externally
 28 # provided and the caller has control over where it's allocated, its lifetime,
 29 # and so on. The buffer's read and write pointers are internal to it so it's
 30 # easier to keep in a consistent state. And it can now be passed directly to
 31 # helpers like 'read-byte' or 'read-until' that only need to support streams,
 32 # never file descriptors.
 33 #
 34 # Like with 'write', we assume our data segment will never begin at an address
 35 # shorter than 0x08000000, so any smaller arguments are assumed to be real
 36 # file descriptors.
 37 #
 38 # As a reminder, a stream looks like this:
 39 #   write: int  # index at which to write to next
 40 #   read: int  # index at which to read next
 41 #   data: (array byte)  # prefixed by length as usual
