This implements a passthrough disk driver that translates the read/write
block addresses by a fixed offset. This could form the basis of MBR
partition support if we were to parse the MBR table at boot and create that
OffsetDiskDevice dynamically, rather than seeking to a fixed offset.
This also introduces a dependency in the form of grub. You'll need to have
32-bit grub binaries installed to build the project now.
As a bonus, divorcing Serenity from qemu's kernel loading means we can now
*technically* boot on real hardware. It just... doesn't get very far yet.
If you write the `_disk_image` file to an IDE hard drive and boot it in a
machine that supports all the basic PC hardware, it *will* start loading
the kernel.
Define the multiboot info struct properly so we don't have to grab at byte
offsets in the memory access checker code. Also print kernel command line
in init().
GWindow::move_to_front() can now be used to move a window to the top of
the window stack.
We use this in Terminal to bring the settings window to the front if it
already exists when it's requested, in case it's hiding behind something.
* allow specifying files as arguments, e.g. `head a b c`
* support multiple files
* print a filename header when multiple files are being printed
* allow suppression or forcing of filename header via flags
This change drops support for the legacy `-123` syntax in favour of the
more widely-supported `-n 123` form.
fixes#105
Walk the custody cache and try to reuse an existing one when possible.
The VFS is responsible for updating them when something happens that would
cause the described relationship to change.
This is definitely not perfect but it does work for the basic scenarios like
renaming and removing directory entries.
We definitely need to replace m_executable before clearing interrupts, since
otherwise we might call ~Custody() which would make it assert in locking.
Also avoid calling FileDescriptor::metadata() repeatedly and just cache the
result from the first call.
I also added a comment at the point where we've decided to commit to the new
executable and follow through with the swap.
When encountering a symlink, we abandon the custody chain we've been working
on and start over with a new one (by recursing into a new resolution call.)
Caching symlinks in the custody model would be incredibly difficult to get
right with all the extra invalidation it would require, so let's just not.
The current working directory is now stored as a custody. Likewise for a
process executable file. This unbreaks /proc/PID/fd which has not been
working since we made the filesystem bigger.
This still needs a bunch of work, for instance when renaming or removing
a file somewhere, we have to update the relevant custody links.
A custody is kind of a directory entry abstraction that represents a single
entry in a parent directory that tells us the name of a child inode.
The idea here is for path resolution to produce a chain of custody objects.
