    cobalt/syscalls: allow for handing over mode selection to syscall handlers · 62b824af
    Philippe Gerum authored
    Specific system calls may benefit from dealing with the caller's
    runtime mode by themselves, depending on internal information which
    the generic syscall dispatcher does not have access to.
    
    To this end, a new syscall mode called "handover" is
    introduced. Syscalls bearing this mode bit are always entered from the
    current calling domain. The syscall handler may return -ENOSYS to
    trigger a switch to the converse domain until all domains have been
    visited once, at which point the syscall fails with -ENOSYS
    automatically.
