This fixes an issue we had in the git port where git would not
recognize untracked files (for example in 'git status').
When git used readdir, the 'd_type' field in the dirent struct contained
bad values (Specifically, it contained the values defiend in
Kernel/FileSystem/ext2_fs.h instead of the ones in LibC/dirent.h).
After this fix, we can create a new git repository with 'git init', and
then stage and commit files as usual.
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
This unbreaks the gcc and binutils ports.
Previously, when _SC_PAGESIZE was missing, these packages opted to
use their own versions of getpagesize which made their build fail
because of conflicting definitions of the function.
For now, only the non-standard _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF and
_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN are implemented.
Use them to make ninja pick a better default -j value.
While here, make the ninja package script not fail if
no other port has been built yet.
This fixes a bug where the mode of a FIFO was reported as 001000 instead
of 0010000 (you see the difference? me nethier), and hopefully doesn't
introduce new bugs. I've left 0777 and similar in a few places, because
that is *more* readable than its symbolic version.
This adds support for MS_RDONLY, a mount flag that tells the kernel to disallow
any attempts to write to the newly mounted filesystem. As this flag is
per-mount, and different mounts of the same filesystems (such as in case of bind
mounts) can have different mutability settings, you have to go though a custody
to find out if the filesystem is mounted read-only, instead of just asking the
filesystem itself whether it's inherently read-only.
This also adds a lot of checks we were previously missing; and moves some of
them to happen after more specific checks (such as regular permission checks).
One outstanding hole in this system is sys$mprotect(PROT_WRITE), as there's no
way we can know if the original file description this region has been mounted
from had been opened through a readonly mount point. Currently, we always allow
such sys$mprotect() calls to succeed, which effectively allows anyone to
circumvent the effect of MS_RDONLY. We should solve this one way or another.
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.
PT_POKE writes a single word to the tracee's address space.
Some caveats:
- If the user requests to write to an address in a read-only region, we
temporarily change the page's protections to allow it.
- If the user requests to write to a region that's backed by a
SharedInodeVMObject, we replace the vmobject with a PrivateIndoeVMObject.
This patch adds the minherit() syscall originally invented by OpenBSD.
Only the MAP_INHERIT_ZERO mode is supported for now. If set on an mmap
region, that region will be zeroed out on fork().
This patch adds a way for a socket to ask to be routed through a
specific interface.
Currently, this option only applies to sending, however, it should also
apply to receiving...somehow :^)
This commit adds a basic implementation of
the ptrace syscall, which allows one process
(the tracer) to control another process (the tracee).
While a process is being traced, it is stopped whenever a signal is
received (other than SIGCONT).
The tracer can start tracing another thread with PT_ATTACH,
which causes the tracee to stop.
From there, the tracer can use PT_CONTINUE
to continue the execution of the tracee,
or use other request codes (which haven't been implemented yet)
to modify the state of the tracee.
Additional request codes are PT_SYSCALL, which causes the tracee to
continue exection but stop at the next entry or exit from a syscall,
and PT_GETREGS which fethces the last saved register set of the tracee
(can be used to inspect syscall arguments and return value).
A special request code is PT_TRACE_ME, which is issued by the tracee
and causes it to stop when it calls execve and wait for the
tracer to attach.
A new IP address or a new network mask can be specified in the command
line arguments of ifconfig to replace the old values of a given network
adapter. Additionally, more information is being printed for each adapter.
Calling shutdown prevents further reads and/or writes on a socket.
We should do a few more things based on the type of socket, but this
initial implementation just puts the basic mechanism in place.
Work towards #428.
This patch introduces sys$perf_event() with two event types:
- PERF_EVENT_MALLOC
- PERF_EVENT_FREE
After the first call to sys$perf_event(), a process will begin keeping
these events in a buffer. When the process dies, that buffer will be
written out to "perfcore" in the current directory unless that filename
is already taken.
This is probably not the best way to do this, but it's a start and will
make it possible to start doing memory allocation profiling. :^)
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 patch implements a simple version of the futex (fast userspace
mutex) API in the kernel and uses it to make the pthread_cond_t API's
block instead of busily sched_yield().
An arbitrary userspace address is passed to the kernel as a "token"
that identifies the futex and you can then FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE
that specific userspace address.
FUTEX_WAIT corresponds to pthread_cond_wait() and FUTEX_WAKE is used
for pthread_cond_signal() and pthread_cond_broadcast().
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something in this implementation, but it's
hopefully okay for a start. :^)
It's now possible to get purgeable memory by using mmap(MAP_PURGEABLE).
Purgeable memory has a "volatile" flag that can be set using madvise():
- madvise(..., MADV_SET_VOLATILE)
- madvise(..., MADV_SET_NONVOLATILE)
When in the "volatile" state, the kernel may take away the underlying
physical memory pages at any time, without notifying the owner.
This gives you a guilt discount when caching very large things. :^)
Setting a purgeable region to non-volatile will return whether or not
the memory has been taken away by the kernel while being volatile.
Basically, if madvise(..., MADV_SET_NONVOLATILE) returns 1, that means
the memory was purged while volatile, and whatever was in that piece
of memory needs to be reconstructed before use.
VM regions can now be marked as stack regions, which is then validated
on syscall, and on page fault.
If a thread is caught with its stack pointer pointing into anything
that's *not* a Region with its stack bit set, we'll crash the whole
process with SIGSTKFLT.
Userspace must now allocate custom stacks by using mmap() with the new
MAP_STACK flag. This mechanism was first introduced in OpenBSD, and now
we have it too, yay! :^)
POSIX's openat() is very similar to open(), except you also provide a
file descriptor referring to a directory from which relative paths
should be resolved.
Passing it the magical fd number AT_FDCWD means "resolve from current
directory" (which is indeed also what open() normally does.)
This fixes libarchive's bsdtar, since it was trying to do something
extremely wrong in the absence of openat() support. The issue has
recently been fixed upstream in libarchive:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/1239
However, we should have openat() support anyway, so I went ahead and
implemented it. :^)
Fixes#748.
Made getsockopt() and setsockopt() virtual so we can handle them in the
various Socket subclasses. The subclasses map kinda nicely to "levels".
This will allow us to implement things like "traceroute", although..
I spent some time trying to do that, but then hit a wall when it turned
out that the user-mode networking in QEMU doesn't preserve TTL in the
ICMP packets passing through.
This makes waitpid() return when a child process is stopped via a signal.
Use this in Shell to catch stopped children and return control to the
command line. :^)
Fixes#298.
Right now, we allow anything inside a user to raise or lower any other process's
priority. This feels simple enough to me. Linux disallows raising, but
that's annoying in practice.
links requests SO_ERROR, so in not supporting it, things were unhappy.
Supporting this properly looks a little messy. I guess Socket will need
an m_error member it sets everywhere it returns an error. Or Syscall
could set it, perhaps, but I don't know if that's the right thing to
do, so let's just stub this for now and file a bug.
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
Passing this flag to recv() temporarily puts the file descriptor into
non-blocking mode.
Also implement LocalSocket::recv() as a simple forwarding to read().
I was originally implementing signals by looking at some man page about
sigaction() to see how it works. It seems like the restorer thingy is
system-specific and not required by POSIX, so let's get rid of it.
