As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Tracking the hovered menu item independently from the index of the
currently hovered item is error prone and bad code. Simplify WSMenu by
only tracking the index of the currently hovered item.
Fixes#1092
We were swallowing the keyevent on a Logo key down even if we were not
opening the logo. This is incorrect, and was preventing the
windowswitcher from closing.
We also make the logo button toggle the system menu, as this behaviour
is closer to how you would normally expect this button to work.
Closes#1090
I kept on trying to use the enter key to navigate a tree view, when only
left and right arrow keys are used for this. Now also suport the return
key, is used as a toggle to open a tree.
This is not ASLR, but it does de-trivialize exploiting the ELF loader
which would previously always parse executables at 0x01001000 in every
single exec(). I've taken advantage of this multiple times in my own
toy exploits and it's starting to feel cheesy. :^)
We now use the regular "user" physical pages for on-demand page table
allocations. This was by far the biggest source of super physical page
exhaustion, so that bug should be a thing of the past now. :^)
We still have super pages, but they are barely used. They remain useful
for code that requires memory with a low physical address.
Fixes#1000.
After MemoryManager initialization, we now only leave the lowest 1MB
of memory identity-mapped. The very first (null) page is not present.
All other pages are RW but not X. Supervisor only.
The kernel and its static data structures are no longer identity-mapped
in the bottom 8MB of the address space, but instead move above 3GB.
The first 8MB above 3GB are pseudo-identity-mapped to the bottom 8MB of
the physical address space. But things don't have to stay this way!
Thanks to Jesse who made an earlier attempt at this, it was really easy
to get device drivers working once the page tables were in place! :^)
Fixes#734.
It used to only read the data it could get without blocking. Andreas says this
was intentional, but it's counterintuitive and no code that uses read_all()
actually expects it to return only a part of the data. So change it to always
read data until an EOF (or an error) is received.
Symlink resolution is now a virtual method on an inode,
Inode::resolve_as_symlink(). The default implementation just reads the stored
inode contents, treats them as a path and calls through to VFS::resolve_path().
This will let us support other, magical files that appear to be plain old
symlinks but resolve to something else. This is particularly useful for ProcFS.
The syscall is now called sys$open(), but it behaves like the old sys$openat().
In userspace, open_with_path_length() is made a wrapper over openat_with_path_length().
It turns out we don't even need to store the whole custody chain, as we only
ever access its last element. So we can just store one custody. This also fixes
a performance FIXME :^)
Also, rename parent_custody to out_parent.
This patch adds a new "accept" promise that allows you to call accept()
on an already listening socket. This lets programs set up a socket for
for listening and then dropping "inet" and/or "unix" so that only
incoming (and existing) connections are allowed from that point on.
No new outgoing connections or listening server sockets can be created.
In addition to accept() it also allows getsockopt() with SOL_SOCKET
and SO_PEERCRED, which is used to find the PID/UID/GID of the socket
peer. This is used by our IPC library when creating shared buffers that
should only be accessible to a specific peer process.
This allows us to drop "unix" in WindowServer and LookupServer. :^)
It also makes the debugging/introspection RPC sockets in CEventLoop
based programs work again.
It was possible to craft a custom ELF executable that when symbolicated
would cause the kernel to read from user-controlled addresses anywhere
in memory. You could then fetch this memory via /proc/PID/stack
We fix this by making ELFImage hand out StringView rather than raw
const char* for symbol names. In case a symbol offset is outside the
ELF image, you get a null StringView. :^)
Test: Kernel/elf-symbolication-kernel-read-exploit.cpp
Launching from the terminal inherits $PATH which includes
/usr/local/bin, but launching from the system menubar doesn't, so
HackStudio wasn't finding make installed from ports.
It was never updating because we'd just seek the start of /proc/memstat
over and over, which didn't generate new contents. Instead, open the
file on every iteration.
When the new font is a different size, just use that font for bold
glyphs as well. It would be nice to find a matching bold version of
the new font automatically in the future.
Also don't uncache inodes when they reach i_links_count==0 unless they
also have no ref counts other than the +1 from the inode cache.
This prevents the FS from deleting the on-disk inode too soon.
The O_NOFOLLOW_NOERROR is an internal kernel mechanism used for the
implementation of sys$readlink() and sys$lstat().
There is no reason to allow userspace to open symlinks directly.
