Since the CPU already does almost all necessary validation steps
for us, we don't really need to attempt to do this. Doing it
ourselves doesn't really work very reliably, because we'd have to
account for other processors modifying virtual memory, and we'd
have to account for e.g. pages not being able to be allocated
due to insufficient resources.
So change the copy_to/from_user (and associated helper functions)
to use the new safe_memcpy, which will return whether it succeeded
or not. The only manual validation step needed (which the CPU
can't perform for us) is making sure the pointers provided by user
mode aren't pointing to kernel mappings.
To make it easier to read/write from/to either kernel or user mode
data add the UserOrKernelBuffer helper class, which will internally
either use copy_from/to_user or directly memcpy, or pass the data
through directly using a temporary buffer on the stack.
Last but not least we need to keep syscall params trivial as we
need to copy them from/to user mode using copy_from/to_user.
This compiles, and contains exactly the same bugs as before.
The regex 'FIXME: PID/' should reveal all markers that I left behind, including:
- Incomplete conversion
- Issues or things that look fishy
- Actual bugs that will go wrong during runtime
We need to have a Thread lock to protect threading related
operations, such as Thread::m_blocker which is used in
Thread::block.
Also, if a Thread::Blocker indicates that it should be
unblocking immediately, don't actually block the Thread
and instead return immediately in Thread::block.
Output address validation should be done for the tracer's address space
and not the tracee's.
Also use copy_to_user() instead of copy_from_user(). The two are really
identical at the moment, but maybe we can add some assertions to make
sure we're doing what we think we're doing.
Thanks to Sergey for spotting these!
The syscall wrapper for ptrace needs to return the peeked value when
using PT_PEEK.
Because of this, the user has to check errno to detect an error in
PT_PEEK.
This commit changes the actual syscall's interface (only for PT_PEEK) to
allow the syscall wrapper to detect an error and change errno.
PT_SETTREGS sets the regsiters of the traced thread. It can only be
used when the tracee is stopped.
Also, refactor ptrace.
The implementation was getting long and cluttered the alraedy large
Process.cpp file.
This commit moves the bulk of the implementation to Kernel/Ptrace.cpp,
and factors out peek & poke to separate methods of the Process class.
