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.
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.
This removes the allocate_tls syscall and adds an archctl option to set
the fs_base for the current thread on x86-64, since you can't set that
register from userspace. enter_thread_context loads the fs_base for the
next thread on each context switch.
This also moves tpidr_el0 (the thread pointer register on AArch64) to
the register state, so it gets properly saved/restored on context
switches.
The userspace TLS allocation code is kept pretty similar to the original
kernel TLS code, aside from a couple of style changes.
We also have to add a new argument "tls_pointer" to
SC_create_thread_params, as we otherwise can't prevent race conditions
between setting the thread pointer register and signal handling code
that might be triggered before the thread pointer was set, which could
use TLS.
If there's no fds to copy in a message with proper space for an
SCM_RIGHTS set of cmsg headers, then don't try to copy them.
This avoids a Kernel panic when recvmsg-ing, as copy_to_user(p, 0, 0)
hits a VERIFY.
These changes are compatible with clang-format 16 and will be mandatory
when we eventually bump clang-format version. So, since there are no
real downsides, let's commit them now.
This easily led to kernel deadlocks if the stopped thread held an
important global mutex (like the disk cache lock) while blocking.
Resolve this by ensuring stopped threads have a chance to return to the
userland boundary before actually stopping.
Locking a mutex while holding a spinlock is always wrong, but in the
case of the scheduler lock, it also causes an assertion failure. (Which
would be triggered by 2 separate threads trying to ptrace at the same
time).
Since the POSIX sigaltstack manpage suggests allocating the stack
region using malloc(), and many heap implementations (including ours)
store heap chunk metadata in memory just before the vended pointer,
we would end up zeroing the metadata, leading to various crashes.
If there's no loadable segments then there can't be any code to execute
either. This resolves a crash these kinds of ELF files would cause from
the directly following VERIFY statement.
Previously we would unintentionally leave them zero-initialized,
resulting in any threads created post fork (but without execve) having
invalid thread local storage pointers stored in their FS register.
We could technically copy the dynamic loader to other path and run it
from there, so let's not assume paths.
If the user is so determined to do such thing, then a warning is quite
meaningless.
As per POSIX, the behavior of listen() with a backlog value of 0 is
implementation defined: "A backlog argument of 0 may allow the socket
to accept connections, in which case the length of the listen queue may
be set to an implementation-defined minimum value."
Since creating a socket that can't accept any connections seems
relatively useless, and as other platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, etc) chose
to support accepting connections with this backlog value, support it as
well by normalizing it to 1.
There's no need to have separate syscall for this kind of functionality,
as we can just have a device node in /dev, called "beep", that allows
writing tone generation packets to emulate the same behavior.
In addition to that, we remove LibC sysbeep function, as this function
was never being used by any C program nor it was standardized in any
way.
Instead, we move the userspace implementation to LibCore.
About half of the Processor code is common across architectures, so
let's share it with a templated base class. Also, other code that can be
shared in some ways, like FPUState and TrapFrame functions, is adjusted
here. Functions which cannot be shared trivially (without internal
refactoring) are left alone for now.
We should consider whether the selected Thread is within the same jail
or not.
Therefore let's make it clear to callers with jail semantics if a called
method checks if the desired Thread object is within the same jail.
As for Thread::for_each_* methods, currently nothing in the kernel
codebase needs iteration with consideration for jails, so the old
Thread::for_each* were simply renamed to include "ignoring_jails" suffix
in their names.
Some syscalls could be simplified by using the non-static method
Process::get_thread_from_thread_list which should ensure that the
specified tid is of a Thread in the same Process of the current Thread.
These syscalls are not necessary on their own, and they give the false
impression that a caller could set or get the thread name of any process
in the system, which is not true.
Therefore, move the functionality of these syscalls to be options in the
prctl syscall, which makes it abundantly clear that these operations
could only occur from a running thread in a process that sees other
threads in that process only.
This new Kernel StdLib function will be used to copy contents of a
FixedStringBuffer with a null character to a user process.
The first user of this new function is the prctl option of
PR_GET_PROCESS_NAME which would copy a process name including a null
character to a user provided buffer.
When doing PR_{SET,GET}_PROCESS_NAME, it's not expected to pass a signed
integer for the buffer size (in arg2). Therefore, cast it immediately to
a size_t integer type, and let the FixedStringBuffer StdLib memory copy
functions in such cases to worry about possible overflows.
Now that support for 32-bit x86 has been removed, we don't have to worry
about the top half of `off_t`/`u64` values being chopped off when we try
to pass them in registers. Therefore, we no longer need the workaround
of pointers to stack-allocated values to syscalls.
Note that this changes the system call ABI, so statically linked
programs will have to be re-linked.
Using the kernel stack is preferable, especially when the examined
strings should be limited to a reasonable length.
This is a small improvement, because if we don't actually move these
strings then we don't need to own heap allocations for them during the
syscall handler function scope.
In addition to that, some kernel strings are known to be limited, like
the hostname string, for these strings we also can use FixedStringBuffer
to store and copy to and from these buffers, without using any heap
allocations at all.
Instead, use the FixedCharBuffer class to ensure we always use a static
buffer storage for these names. This ensures that if a Process or a
Thread were created, there's a guarantee that setting a new name will
never fail, as only copying of strings should be done to that static
storage.
The limits which are set are 32 characters for processes' names and 64
characters for thread names - this is because threads' names could be
more verbose than processes' names.
Since this is the block size that file system drivers *should* set,
let's name it the logical block size, just like most file systems such
as ext2 already do anyways.
Previously, we started parsing the ELF file again in a completely
different place, and without the partial mapping that we do while
validating.
Instead of doing manual parsing in two places, just capture the
requested stack size right after we validated it.
