With the update to GCC 12.1.0, the compiler now vectorizes code with
-O2. This causes vector ops to be emitted, which are not supported in
the Kernel. Add the -mgeneral-regs-only flag to force the compiler to
not emit floating-point and SIMD ops.
By default we enable the Kernel Undefined Behavior Sanitizer, which
checks for undefined behavior at runtime. However, sometimes a developer
might want to turn that off, so now there is a easy way to do that.
Most of the string.h and wchar.h functions are implemented quite naively
at the moment, and GCC's pattern recognition pass might realize what we
are trying to do, and transform them into libcalls. This is usually a
useful optimization, but not when we're implementing the functions
themselves :^)
Relevant discussion from the GCC Bugzilla:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102725
This prevents the infamous recursive `strlen`.
A more proper fix would be writing these functions in assembly. That
would likely give a small performance boost as well ;)
Instead of storing the current Processor into a core local register, we
currently just store it into a global, since we don't support SMP for
aarch64 anyway. This simplifies the initial implementation.
The DisplayConnector class is meant to replace the FramebufferDevice
class. The advantage of this class over the FramebufferDevice class is:
1. It removes the mmap interface entirely. This interface is unsafe, as
multiple processes could try to use it, and when switching to and from
text console mode, there's no "good" way to revoke a memory mapping from
this interface, let alone when there are multiple processes that call
this interface. Therefore, in the DisplayConnector class there's no
implementation for this method at all.
2. The class uses a new real-world structure called ModeSetting, which
takes into account the fact that real hardware requires more than width,
height and pitch settings to mode-set the display resolution.
3. The class assumes all instances should supply some sort of EDID,
so it facilitates such mechanism to do so. Even if a given driver does
not know what is the actual EDID, it will ask to create default-generic
EDID blob.
3. This class shifts the responsibilies of switching between console
mode and graphical mode from a GraphicsAdapter to the DisplayConnector
class, so when doing the switch, the GraphicsManagement code actually
asks each DisplayConnector object to do the switch and doesn't rely on
the GraphicsAdapter objects at all.
The code in Spinlock.h has no architectural specific logic, thus can be
moved to the Arch directory. This contains no functional change.
Also add the Spinlock.cpp file for aarch64 which contains stubs for the
lock and unlock functions.
This allows us to use the AK formatting functions in the aarch64 Kernel.
Also add FIXME to make sure that this file will be removed when the
proper abstractions are in place in the normal Kernel/kprintf.cpp.
The compiler figured out that the MemoryManager is not initialised, and
thus MemoryManager::the() cannot return a valid reference. Once the
necesarry code is in place, this compiler flag can be removed.
Coverage tools like LLVM's source-based coverage or GNU's --coverage
need to be able to write out coverage files from any binary, regardless
of its security posture. Not ignoring these pledges and veils means we
can't get our coverage data out without playing some serious tricks.
However this is pretty terrible for normal exeuction, so only skip these
checks when we explicitly configured userspace for coverage.
This creates all interfaces when the device is enumerated, with a link
to the configuration that it is a part of. As such, a new class,
`USBInterface` has been introduced to express this state.
This patch ports MemoryManager to RegionTree as well. The biggest
difference between this and the userspace code is that kernel regions
are owned by extant OwnPtr<Region> objects spread around the kernel,
while userspace regions are owned by the AddressSpace itself.
For kernelspace, there are a couple of situations where we need to make
large VM reservations that never get backed by regular VMObjects
(for example the kernel image reservation, or the big kmalloc range.)
Since we can't make a VM reservation without a Region object anymore,
this patch adds a way to create unbacked Region objects that can be
used for this exact purpose. They have no internal VMObject.)
RegionTree holds an IntrusiveRedBlackTree of Region objects and vends a
set of APIs for allocating memory ranges.
It's used by AddressSpace at the moment, and will be used by MM soon.
We're now able to detect all the regular CPUID feature flags from
ECX/EDX for EAX=1 :^)
None of the new ones are being used for anything yet, but they will show
up in /proc/cpuinfo and subsequently lscpu and SystemMonitor.
Note that I replaced the periods from the SSE 4.1 and 4.2 instructions
with underscores, which matches the internal enum names, Linux's
/proc/cpuinfo and the general pattern of replacing special characters
with underscores to limit feature names to [a-z0-9_].
The enum member stringification has been moved to a new function for
better re-usability and to avoid cluttering up Processor.cpp.
The obsolete ttyname and ptsname syscalls are removed.
LibC doesn't rely on these anymore, and it helps simplifying the Kernel
in many places, so it's an overall an improvement.
In addition to that, /proc/PID/tty node is removed too as it is not
needed anymore by userspace to get the attached TTY of a process, as
/dev/tty (which is already a character device) represents that as well.
This will replace the /dev/tty symlink created by SystemServer, so
instead of a symlink, a character device will be created. When doing
read(2), write(2) and ioctl(2) on this device, it will "redirect" these
operations to the attached TTY of the current process.
As there is no need for a Prekernel on aarch64, the Prekernel code was
moved into Kernel itself. The functionality remains the same.
SERENITY_KERNEL_AND_INITRD in run.sh specifies a kernel and an inital
ramdisk to be used by the emulator. This is needed because aarch64
does not need a Prekernel and the other ones do.
This commit flips VirtIOGPU back to using a Mutex for its operation
lock (instead of a spinlock). This is necessary for avoiding a few
system hangs when queuing actions on the driver from multiple
processes, which becomes much more of an issue when using VirGL from
multiple userspace process.
This does result in a few code paths where we inevitably have to grab
a mutex from inside a spinlock, the only way to fix both issues is to
move to issuing asynchronous virtio gpu commands.
If there's no PCI bus, then it's safe to assume that we run on a x86
machine that has an ISA IDE controller in the system. In such case, we
just instantiate a ISAIDEController object that assumes fixed locations
of IDE IO ports.
