With this change, we no longer preallocate blocks when an inode's size
is updated, and instead only allocate the minimum amount of blocks when
the inode is actually written to.
This is a large commit, since this is essentially a complete rewrite of
the key low-level functions that handle reading/writing blocks. This is,
however, a necessary prerequisite of being able to write holes.
The previous version of `flush_block_list()` (along with its numerous
helper functions) was entirely reliant on all blocks being sequential.
In contrast to the previous implementation, the new version
of `flush_block_list()` simply writes out the difference between the old
block list and the new block list by calculating the correct indirect
block(s) to update based on the relevant block's logical index.
`compute_block_list()` has also been rewritten, since the estimated
amount of meta blocks was incorrectly calculated for files with holes as
a result of the estimated amount of blocks being a function of the file
size. Since it isn't possible to accurately compute the shape of the
block list without traversing it, we no longer try to perform such a
computation, and instead simply search through all of the allocated
indirect blocks.
`compute_block_list_with_meta_blocks()` has also been removed in favor
of the new `compute_meta_blocks()`, since meta blocks are fundamentally
distinct from data blocks due to there being no mapping between any
logical block index and the physical block index.
Since we now only store blocks that are actually allocated, it is
entirely valid for the block list to be empty, so this commit lifts the
restrictions on accessing inodes with an empty block list.
The methods try_release_clean_pages() and release_all_clean_pages() in
InodeVMObject are almost identical. This commit makes them both use the
same code path.
In the VMObject code there are multiple examples of loops over
the VMObject's regions (using for_each_region()) that call remap()
on each region.
To clean up usage of this pattern, this patch adds a method in
VMObject that does this remapping loop. VMObject code that needs
to remap its regions call the new method.
It can be possible for a request to be blocked on another request, so
this patch allows us to send more requests even when a request is
already pending.
To be able to do this, we add a new class called CustodyBase, which can
be resolved on-demand internally in the VirtualFileSystem resolving path
code.
When being resolved, CustodyBase will return a known custody if it was
constructed with such, if that's not the case it will provide the root
custody if the original path is absolute.
Lastly, if that's not the case as well, it will resolve the given dirfd
to provide a Custody object.
This means that userspace breakpoint traps no longer panic the kernel.
This also causes us to no longer panic on failed assertions in userspace
when using gcc, as gcc compiles __builtin_trap to breakpoint
instructions on RISC-V.
I did a mistake and set the kernel_physical_base value to be just on
the actual linked kernel ELF start offset, while this value should
represent together with KERNEL_MAPPING_BASE the actual higher-half load
address.
By changing this value, we resolve a bug in which disabling KASLR
doesn't work and will cause the prekernel to hang on this statement:
```c++
VERIFY(kernel_load_base >= kernel_mapping_base + 0x200000);
```
With this change, ".*make.*" function family now does error checking
earlier, which improves experience while using clangd. Note that the
change also make them instantiate classes a bit more eagerly, so in
LibVideo/PlaybackManager, we have to first define SeekingStateHandler
and only then make() it.

As MMIO is placed at fixed physical addressed, and does not need to be
backed by real RAM physical pages, there's no need to use PhysicalPage
instances to track their pages.
This results in slightly reduced allocations, but more importantly
makes MMIO addresses which end up after the normal RAM ranges work,
like 64-bit PCI BARs usually are.
Prepare to remove biglock on PCI::Access in a future commit, so we can
ensure we only lock a spinlock on a precise PCI HostController if needed
instead of the entire subsystem.
We never used these virtual methods outside their own implementation,
so let's stop pretending that we should be able to utilize this for
unknown purpose.
The new baked image is a Prekernel and a Kernel baked together now, so
essentially we no longer need to pass the Prekernel as -kernel and the
actual kernel image as -initrd to QEMU, leaving the option to pass an
actual initrd or initramfs module later on with multiboot.
Before of this change, actually setting the m_access to contain the
HasBeen{Readeable,Writable,Executable} bits was done by the method of
Region set_access_bit which added ORing with (access << 4) when enabling
a certain access bit to achieve this.
Now this is changed and when calling set_{readeable,writable,executable}
methods, they will set an appropriate SetOnce flag that could be checked
later.
We add a prctl option which would be called once after the dynamic
loader has finished to do text relocations before calling the actual
program entry point.
This change makes it much more obvious when we are allowed to change
a region protection access from being writable to executable.
The dynamic loader should be able to do this, but after a certain point
it is obvious that such mechanism should be disabled.
This flag is set only once, and should never reset once it has been set,
making it an ideal SetOnce use-case.
It also simplifies the expected conditions for the enabling prctl call,
as we don't expect a boolean flag, but rather the specific prctl option
will always set (enable) Process' AddressSpace syscall region enforcing.
Nobody uses this functionality. I used this code on my old 2007 ICH7
test machine about a year ago, but bare metal is a small aspect of the
project, so it's safe to assume that nobody really tests this piece of
code.
Therefore, let's drop this for good and focus on more modern hardware.
The following command was used to clang-format these files:
clang-format-18 -i $(find . \
-not \( -path "./\.*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Base/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Build/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Toolchain/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Ports/*" -prune \) \
-type f -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.mm" -o -name "*.h")
There was a recent release of clang-format version 18.1.5 which fixes
errant spaces around `->` in these files.
