When calling ioctl on a socket with SIOCGIFHWADDR, return the correct
physical interface type. This value was previously hardcoded to
ARPHRD_ETHER (Ethernet), and now can also return ARPHRD_LOOPBACK for the
loopback adapter.
Instead of using a clunky if-statement paradigm, we now have all drivers
being declaring two methods for their adapter class - create and probe.
These methods are linked in each PCINetworkDriverInitializer structure,
in a new s_initializers static list of them.
Then, when we probe for a PCI device, we use each probe method and if
there's a match, then the corresponding create method is called. After
the adapter instance is created, we call the virtual initialize method
on it, because many drivers actually require a sort of post-construction
initialization sequence to ensure the network adapter can properly
function.
As a result of this change, it's much more easy to add more drivers and
the initialization code is more readable and it's easier to understand
when and where things could fail in the whole initialization sequence.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
This was a premature optimization from the early days of SerenityOS.
The eternal heap was a simple bump pointer allocator over a static
byte array. My original idea was to avoid heap fragmentation and improve
data locality, but both ideas were rooted in cargo culting, not data.
We would reserve 4 MiB at boot and only ended up using ~256 KiB, wasting
the rest.
This patch replaces all kmalloc_eternal() usage by regular kmalloc().
Previously there was a mix of returning plain strings and returning
explicit string views using `operator ""sv`. This change switches them
all to standardized on `operator ""sv` as it avoids a call to strlen.
Read the appropriate registers for RTL8139, RTL8168 and E1000.
For NE2000 just assume 10mbit full duplex as there is no indicator
for it in the pure NE2000 spec. Mock values for loopback.
Instead of initializing network adapters in init.cpp, let's move that
logic into a separate class to handle this.
Also, it seems like a good idea to shift responsiblity on enumeration
of network adapters after the boot process, so this singleton will take
care of finding the appropriate network adapter when asked to with an
IPv4 address or interface name.
With this change being merged, we simplify the creation logic of
NetworkAdapter derived classes, so we enumerate the PCI bus only once,
searching for driver candidates when doing so, and we let each driver
to test if it is resposible for the specified PCI device.

MemoryManager cannot use the Singleton class because
MemoryManager::initialize is called before the global constructors
are run. That caused the Singleton to be re-initialized, causing
it to create another MemoryManager instance.
Fixes#3226
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.
This is useful for static locals that never need to be destroyed:
Thing& Thing::the()
{
static Eternal<Thing> the;
return the;
}
The object will be allocated in data segment memory and will never have
its destructor invoked.
Choosing adapter for transmit is done by adapter_for_route_to(IPv4Address).
This is just hard-coded logic right now but can be expanded to support a
proper routing table.
Also start moving kernel networking code into Kernel/Net/.
