syscall of the day: personality Anonymous 04/06/26(Mon)07:22:08 No.108539586 Archived
previous: >>108532493

#define __NR_personality        135

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/personality.2.html

tl;dr: manage process execution quirks

this is mostly useful for compatibility with legacy behavior, from what i can tell. pretty strange how there's only a single EINVAL error code, though. you'd think for at least a couple of them, an EPERM might fit better.
but anyway, yeah, another mostly useless syscall that i doubt anyone here has ever bothered to use before. it's got a cute name, though. similar to nice

relevant resources: 
man man

The deeper we get into these syscalls, the more I'm convinced microkernels were the right idea.

What's the deal with microkernels anyway? Weren't they supposed to be the hot new thing that was going to replace everything else when Linux was just starting?

Microkernels are alluring to autists because they feed directly into the "do one thing, and do it well" mindset that is indicative of autism. Everyone who knows but a little bit of processor architecture quickly realizes that they just don't scale, especially for modern systems, but even all the way back in the 1980s.

Microkernels are basically the OS architecture version of functional languages. Elegant but impractical.

the less autistic read on that philosophy as practiced by gnu is the ideal. the thing here would then refer to a solution domain as opposed to a problem domain. within that you're free to cram as much functionality as humanly possible. instead of creating an program to solve a problem, you create many different solutions ie. tools that you fit to a problem by decomposing it into sub-problems each fitting some tool you configure (via functionality) to fit the sub-problem. basic composition and modularization applied beyond the stupid app your employer wants you to shit out.

I split interfaces into two new concepts. you refuse to acknowledge that.
is this really the state of the syscall threads today? I regret effortposting and making a genuine contribution to this apparent trash heap. should have kept the idea to myself.

There's nothing to acknowledge here. It's like saying the earth is flat - just flat-out wrong. You have to be a complete autist to actively refuse reality (which you are and which you do).
