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