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.
This removes an item at an index without preserving the sort order of
the Vector.
This enables constant-time removal from unsorted Vectors, as it avoids
shifting all of the entries following the removed one.
Structures declarations changed __attribute__((__packed__))
to [[gnu::packed]] in ACPI & DMI definitions.
Also, declarations of array of pointers in ACPI RSDT/XSDT are correct
now. In addition to that, now we have a declaration of the ACPI MADT
table & the table entries.
Also, PCI Initializer dismiss() now deletes the object correctly, and
the PCI initialization process no longer use the DMI decoder to
determine if PCI is supported.
grub configuration files include an entry to boot the OS without
ACPI support.
mmap() & mmap_region() methods are removed from ACPI & DMI components,
and we replace them with the new MM.allocate_kernel_region() helper.
Instead of doing a raw calculation for each VM address, from now on we
can use helper functions to do perform those calculations in a neat,
reusable and readable way.
We now can create a cacheable Region, so when map() is called, if a
Region is cacheable then all the virtual memory space being allocated
to it will be marked as not cache disabled.
In addition to that, OS components can create a Region that will be
mapped to a specific physical address by using the appropriate helper
method.
This makes the implementation easier to follow, but also fixes multiple issues
with the old implementation. In particular, it now deals properly with . and ..
in paths, including around mount points.
Hopefully there aren't many new bugs this introduces :^)
If the last character was the separator and keep_empty is true, the
previous if statement would have already appended the last empty part,
so no need to do this again.
This was even more problematic, because the result of split_view() is
expected to consist of true substrings that are usable with the
StringView::substring_view_starting_*_substring() methods, not of
equal strings located elsewhere.

Add "Link", "ActiveLink" and "VisitedLink" colors to the system theme
definition, and implement support for them in LibHTML.
Note that <body link="foo" alink="bar" vlink="baz"> takes precedence
over the system colors. Author style also takes precedence, since we
only fetch the system color in case the CSS color is -libhtml-link.
This is needed to eliminate a race in Thread::wait_on() where we'd
otherwise have to wait until after unlocking the process lock before
we can disable interrupts.
