- Make Region::create_kernel_only OOM safe.
- Make Region::create_user_accessible mostly OOM safe, there are still
some tendrils to untangle before it and be completely fixed.
Propagate allocation failure of m_shared_committed_cow_pages,
and uncommit previously committed COW pages on failure.
This method needs a closer look in terms of error handling, as we
will eventually need to rollback all changes on allocation failure.
Alternatively we could allocate the anonymous object much earlier
and only initialize it once the other steps have succeeded.
Replace the AK::String used for Region::m_name with a KString.
This seems beneficial across the board, but as a specific data point,
it reduces time spent in sys$set_mmap_name() by ~50% on test-js. :^)
This is a simple string class for use in the kernel. It encapsulates
a length + character array in a single-allocation object.
Main differences from AK::String:
- Single-owner (no reference counting.)
- Allocation failures are exposed, not hidden.
The basic idea is to allow better and more precise string management
in the kernel.
When receiving a SYN packet for a connection that's in the "SYN
received" state we should ignore the duplicate SYN packet instead of
closing the connection. This can happen when we didn't accept the
connection in time and our peer has sent us another SYN packet because
it thought that the initial SYN packet was lost.
Previously we wouldn't release the buffer back to the network adapter
in all cases. While this didn't leak the buffer it would cause the
buffer to not be reused for other packets.
It seems like overly-specific classes were written for no good reason.
Instead of making each adapter to have its own unique FramebufferDevice
class, let's generalize everything to keep implementation more
consistent.
When debugging kernel code, it's necessary to set extra flags. Normal
advice is to set -ggdb3. Sometimes that still doesn't provide enough
debugging information for complex functions that still get optimized.
Compiling with -Og gives the best optimizations for debugging, but can
sometimes be broken by changes that are innocuous when the compiler gets
more of a chance to look at them. The new CMake option enables both
compile options for kernel code.
The compiler couldn't convince itself that these are always initialized
when compiling with Og. They are always initialized before use, because
the only branch where they weren't had VERIFY_NOT_REACHED.
With -Og, all calls to create_kernel_process were triggering -Wnonnull
when creating these lambdas that get implicitly converted to function
pointers. A different design of create_kernel_process to use
AK::Function instead might avoid this awkward behavior.
Previously reads and writes to /dev/zero, /dev/full, /dev/null and
/dev/random were limited to 4096 bytes.
This removes that restriction so that users can enjoy more zero bytes
in their buffers.
Previously we'd just dump those packets into the network adapter's
send queue and hope for the best. Instead we should wait until the peer
has sent TCP ACK packets.
Ideally this would parse the TCP window size option from the SYN or
SYN|ACK packet, but for now we just assume the window size is 64 kB.
Previously we'd allocate buffers when sending packets. This patch
avoids these allocations by using the NetworkAdapter's packet queue.
At the same time this also avoids copying partially constructed
packets in order to prepend Ethernet and/or IPv4 headers. It also
properly truncates UDP and raw IP packets.
Previously TCPSocket::send_tcp_packet() would try to send TCP packets
which matched whatever size the userspace program specified. We'd try to
break those packets up into smaller fragments, however a much better
approach is to limit TCP packets to the maximum segment size and
avoid fragmentation altogether.
Since `s_mm_lock` is a RecursiveSpinlock, if a kernel thread gets
preempted while accidentally hold the lock during switch_context,
another thread running on the same processor could end up manipulating
the state of the memory manager even though they should not be able to.
It will just bump the recursion count and keep going.
This appears to be the root cause of weird bugs like: #7359
Where page protection magically appears to be wrong during execution.
To avoid these cases lets guard this specific unfortunate case and make
sure it can never go unnoticed ever again.
The assert was Tom's idea to help debug this, so I am going to tag him
as co-author of this commit.

The Alternate Screen Buffer is used by full-screen terminal applications
(like `vim` and `nano`). Its data is stored separately from the normal
buffer, therefore after applications using it exit, everything looks
like it was before, the bottom of their interfaces isn't visible. An
interesting feature is that it does not support scrollback, so it
consumes less memory by not having to allocate lines for history.
Because of the need to save and restore state between the switches, some
correctness issues relating to it were also fixed in this commit.
This commit introduces support for 3 new escape sequences:
1. Stop blinking cursor mode
2. `DECTCEM` mode (enable/disable cursor)
3. `DECSCUSR` (set cursor style)
`TerminalWidget` now supports the following cursor types: block,
underline and vertical bar. Each of these can blink or be steady.
`VirtualConsole` ignores these (just as we were doing before).
I introduced a regression in #7184 where `TTY` would report 1 byte read
in canonical mode even if we had no more characters left. This was
caused by counting the '\0' that denotes EOF into the number of
characters that were read.
The fix was simple: exclude the EOF character from the number of bytes.
This still wouldn't be correct by itself, as the EOF and EOL control
characters could change between when the data was written to the TTY and
when it is read. We fix this by signaling out-of-band whether something
is a special character. End-of-file markers have a value of zero and
have their special bits set. Any other bytes with a special flag are
treated as line endings. This is possible, as POSIX doesn't allow
special characters to be 0.
Fixes#7419
Previously the process' m_profiling flag was ignored for all event
types other than CPU samples.
The kfree tracing code relies on temporarily disabling tracing during
exec. This didn't work for per-process profiles and would instead
panic.
This updates the profiling code so that the m_profiling flag isn't
ignored.
There's no good reason to distinguish between network interfaces based
on their model. It's probably a good idea to try keep the names more
persistent so scripts written for a specific network interface will be
useable after hotplug event (or after rebooting with new hardware
setup).
This is by default left empty, so people won't run the kernel in a mode
which they didn't want to. The embedded string will override the
supplied commandline from the bootloader, which is good for debugging
sessions.
This change seemed important for me, because I debug the kernel on bare
metal with iPXE, and every change to the commandline meant that I needed
rewrite a new iPXE USB image with a modified iPXE script.
