Instead of computing the path length inside the syscall handler, let the
caller do that work. This allows us to implement to new variants of open()
and creat(), called open_with_path_length() and creat_with_path_length().
These are suitable for use with e.g StringView.
The IDE Disk Controller driver has been extended to allow the secondary device on the channel to be initialised and used. A test as to whether this is working (for anyone interested) is to modify `init.cpp:87` to `auto dev_hd0 = IDEDiskDevice::create(IdeDiskDevice::DeviceType::SLAVE);`. The kernel will fail to boot, as there is no disk attached to CHANNEL 1's slave. This was born out of the fact that my FAT driver can't be tested as easily without creating a partition on `hda`.
Userland/qs was moved to Applications/QuickShow, but some people still have
old built binaries lying around in their Userland/ directories and the build
system complains about this. Here goes a silly temporary hack to just get
rid of them.
This is prep work for supporting HashMap with NonnullRefPtr<T> as values.
It's currently not possible because many HashTable functions require being
able to default-construct the value type.
Update ProcessManager, top and WSCPUMonitor to handle the new format.
Since the kernel is not allowed to use floating-point math, we now compile
the JSON classes in AK without JsonValue::Type::Double support.
To accomodate large unsigned ints, I added a JsonValue::Type::UnsignedInt.
If we get an NP page fault in a process, and the fault address is in the
kernel address range (anywhere above 0xc0000000), we probably just need
to copy the page table info over from the kernel page directory.
The kernel doesn't allocate address space until it's needed, and when it
does allocate some, it only puts the info in the kernel page directory,
and any *new* page directories created from that point on. Existing page
directories need to be updated, and that's what this patch fixes.
Instead of PDE's and PTE's being weird wrappers around dword*, just have
MemoryManager::ensure_pte() return a PageDirectoryEntry&, which in turn has
a PageTableEntry* entries().
I've been trying to understand how things ended up this way, and I suspect
it was because I inadvertently invoked the PageDirectoryEntry copy ctor in
the original work on this, which must have made me very confused..
Anyways, now things are a bit saner and we can move forward towards a better
future, etc. :^)
This needs more work and polish, but it's a step in a more pleasant and
useful direction.
Also turn QuickShow into a fully-fledged "application". (By that, I really
just mean giving it its own Applications/ subdirectory.)
It's kinda funny how I can make a mistake like this in Serenity and then
get so used to it by spending lots of time using this API that I start to
believe that this is how printf() always worked..
We'll now try to detect crashes that were due to dereferencing nullptr,
uninitialized malloc() memory, or recently free()'d memory.
It's not perfect but I think it's pretty good. :^)
Also added some color to the most important parts of the crash log,
and added some more modes to /bin/crash for exercising this code.
Fixes#243.
This method is used in BXVGADevice to create pages for the framebuffer;
we should neither make the PhysicalPage instances eternal, nor hand over
actual physical pages to the memory allocator.
After PhysicalPage::return_to_freelist(), an actual physical page
is returned back to the memory manager; which will create a new
PhysicalPage instance if it decides to reuse the physical page. This
means this PhysicalPage instance should be freed; otherwise it would
get leaked.
This makes no functional difference, but it makes it clear that
MemoryManager and PhysicalRegion take over the actual physical
page represented by this PhysicalPage instance.
