Build a new version of Serenity in CI that doesn't have all the debug
symbols on, or we'd be waiting a very long time to boot.
Insert a TestRunner entry into SystemServer.ini that will run a shell
script that runs tests in /bin and /usr/Tests and shuts down the system
in the new self-test boot mode. Also make sure enough basic services are
started in self-test such that the tests will actually run properly.
LookupServer can now itself server as a DNS server! To service DNS clients, it
uses the exact same lookup logic as it does for LibIPC clients. Namely, it will
synthesize records for data from /etc/hosts on its own (you can use this to
configure host names for your domain!), and forward other questions to
configured upstream DNS servers. On top of that, it implements its own caching,
so once a DNS resource record has been obtained from an upstream server,
LookupServer will cache it locally for faster future lookups.
The DNS server part of LookupServer is disabled by default, because it requires
you to run it as root (for it to bind to the port 53) and on boot, and we don't
want either by default. If you want to try it, modify SystemServer.ini like so:
[LookupServer]
Socket=/tmp/portal/lookup
SocketPermissions=666
Priority=low
KeepAlive=1
User=root
BootModes=text,graphical
and enable server mode in LookupServer.ini like so:
[DNS]
Nameservers=...
EnableServer=1
If in the future we implement socket takeover for IP sockets, these limitations
may be lifted.
This patch adds SymbolServer, a service daemon that provides
symbolication of ELF binaries. It has a very simple IPC API at the
moment that only turns addresses into symbol names.
This can be used to implement symbolication without having to do
in-process ELF parsing yourself. :^)
Since it is owned by root anyway, there is no need for 'additional security' to prevent
modification of that directory. This makes it easier to quickly export files from
Serenity. Fixes#5152.
Until someone has time to implement something for not showing the
very first network change at boot, let's turn off notifications for
network changes by default altogether. Having to dismiss this
notification at every boot gets old fast.
This patch moves the user account password hashes from /etc/passwd,
where they were world-readable, to /etc/shadow, where only root can
access them.
The Core::Account class is extended to support both authentication
against, and modification of /etc/shadow.
The default password for "anon" as of this commit is "foo" :^)
The DevFS along with DevPtsFS give a complete solution for populating
device nodes in /dev. The main purpose of DevFS is to eliminate the
need of device nodes generation when building the system.
Later on, DevFS will assist with exposing disk partition nodes.
This adds the ability to specify cursor attributes as part of their
file names, which allows us to remove hard coded values like the hot
spot from the code. The attributes can be specified between the last
two dots of the file name. Each attribute begins with a character,
followed by one or more digits that specify a uint value.
Supported attributes:
x: The x-coordinate of the cursor hotspot
y: The y-coordinate of the cursor hotspot
f: The number of animated frames horizontally in the image
t: The number of milliseconds per frame
For example, the filename wait.f14t100.png specifies that the image
contains 14 frames that should be cycled through at a rate of 100ms.
The hotspot is not specified, so it defaults to the center.
HackStudio no longer has dedicated project files, so let's get rid of
the *.hsp file concept. It'll eventually produce some files again,
but they won't be the same kind of "project" files.
This moves file extension to icon mappings from compile time macros to an
INI config file (/etc/FileIconProvider.ini), so file icons can easily be
customized and extended :^)
I also switched the format from a static file extension (".foo") to
glob-like patterns ("*.foo", using StringUtils::matches()), which allows
us to assign icons to specific exactly matching file names, like many
IDEs do - e.g. "CMakeLists.txt" or ".prettierrc".
The configuration key [DNS] Nameserver has been renamed to Nameservers
and accepts a comma-separated list of nameserver addresses, which will
be queried in the given order until a response has been received.
The new default value is still Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 as well as their
secondary DNS server 1.0.0.1.
The language server keeps track of the content of currently edited
files by receiving updates about edit actions.
Also, C++ autocompletion is no longer tied to HackStudio itself and
moved to be part of the language server.
To keep track of ongoing terminal sessions, we now have a sort-of
traditional /var/run/utmp file, like other Unix systems.
Unlike other Unix systems however, ours is of course JSON. :^)
The /bin/utmpupdate program is used to update the file, which is
not writable by regular user accounts. This helper program is
set-GID "utmp".
This introduces a new X86 CPU emulator for running SerenityOS userspace
programs in a virtualized interpreter environment.
The main goal is to be able to instrument memory accesses and catch
interesting bugs that are very hard to find otherwise. But before we
can do fancy things like that, we have to build a competent emulator
able to actually run programs.
This initial version is able to run a very small program that makes
some tiny syscalls, but nothing more.
Everyone who connects to ProtocolServer now gets his own instance.
This means that different users can no longer talk to the same exact
ProtocolServer process, enhanching security and stability.
