Storing assigning a string literal to a String object just to pass it to
a function expecting a StringView is wasteful. Let's just not do that.
For consistency's sake, this commit changes all of the other invocations
to use StringView literals, too.
Forcing the formatting to go through `Formatter<FormatString>` is
completely unnecessary, increases code size, performs a String
allocation and prevents us from using the formatting options available
on that type.
This commit also removes explicit formatters from
`BlockBasedFileSystem::BlockIndex` and `Kernel::InodeIndex`, as those
are already covered by the blanket implementation for all
`DistinctNumeric` types.
This change allows the Kernel to actually construct other interfaces
besides the E1000 type.
This solves a breakage that was introduced recently because of move
semantics.
A couple of points on this patch:
1. In current situation, we can waste time to create a KString and throw
it for nothing. This patch ensures we only create it near construction
point so we know we actually need it.
2. It's very likely to assume that non-x86 machines will expose network
device with a device tree (or with ACPI). The raspberry pi machine is a
good example of that. Therefore, each driver should explicitly ask the
correct interface name generation method, and this patch simplifies this
pattern greatly, especially in a case where the same network device can
appear as a PCI device or as device in another bus type on the same
platform target. For example, the (in)famous ne2000 device can be used
either as a PCI device or as an ISA device, depending on the model.
3. In my opinion, it seems much more readable to construct the name near
calling point of the object constructor than to just pass it with move
semantics.
By enabling LTO for the kernel_heap object too, we open the door for
optimization opportunities that come from (partially) inlining `::new`
or kmalloc. Every software spends a non-trivial amount of its run time
on allocating memory, so hopefully this change will make LTO builds even
faster.
This commit updates the Clang toolchain's version to 13.0.0, which comes
with better C++20 support and improved handling of new features by
clang-format. Due to the newly enabled `-Bsymbolic-functions` flag, our
Clang binaries will only be 2-4% slower than if we dynamically linked
them, but we save hundreds of megabytes of disk space.
The `BuildClang.sh` script has been reworked to build the entire
toolchain in just three steps: one for the compiler, one for GNU
binutils, and one for the runtime libraries. This reduces the complexity
of the build script, and will allow us to modify the CI configuration to
only rebuild the libraries when our libc headers change.
Most of the compile flags have been moved out to a separate CMake cache
file, similarly to how the Android and Fuchsia toolchains are
implemented within the LLVM repo. This provides a nicer interface than
the heaps of command-line arguments.
We no longer build separate toolchains for each architecture, as the
same Clang binary can compile code for multiple targets.
The horrible mess that `SERENITY_CLANG_ARCH` was, has been removed in
this commit. Clang happily accepts an `i686-pc-serenity` target triple,
which matches what our GCC toolchain accepts.
LLD fails to define the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol if all inputs to it
are LLVM bitcode files (i.e. those used for LTO). To allow the kernel to
be built with ThinLTO, the workaround suggested in the original LLVM bug
report (<https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39634>) is added in this
commit.
ProcFSGlobalInode now calls `write_bytes()`, `truncate()` and
`set_mtime()` on its associated component. This allows us to write 0 or
1 to a ProcFSSystemBoolean component to toggle a boolean value.
Spinlocks are tied to the platform they are built for, this is why they
have been moved into the Arch folder. They are still available via
"Locking/Spinlock.h"
An Aarch64 stub has been created
A new RegisterState header includes the platform specific RegisterState
header based on the platform being compiled.
The Aarch64 RegisterState header contains stubs for Debug
When booting on RPI3 firmware puts CPU in EL2 mode which is
different from QEMU's default EL3.
I've added logic to discover initial mode at boot
and then act accordingly. This results in Serenity corectly
switching to EL1 on target hardware now.
The platform independent Processor.h file includes the shared processor
code and includes the specific platform header file.
All references to the Arch/x86/Processor.h file have been replaced with
a reference to Arch/Processor.h.
The OpenFileDescription class already offers the necessary functionlity,
so implementing this was only a matter of following the structure for
`read` while handling the additional `offset` argument.
Having these bits of code factored out not only prevents duplication
now, but will also allow us to implement pread without repeating
ourselves (too much).
Values in `ioctl` are given through a pointer, but ioctl's FIONBIO
implementation was interpreting this pointer as an integer directly.
This meant that programs using `ioctl` to set a file descriptor in
blocking mode met with incorrect behavior: they passed a non-null
pointer pointing to a value of 0, but the kernel interpreted the pointer
as a non-zero integer, thus making the file non-blocking.
This commit fixes this behavior by reading the value from the userspace
pointer and using that to set the non-blocking flag on the file
descriptor.
This bug was found while trying to run the openssl tool on serenity,
which used `ioctl` to ensure newly-created sockets are in blocking mode.
Normally, trying to truncate a SysFSInode should result in EPERM error.
However, as suggested by Ali (@alimpfard), we can allow the PowerState
node to be "truncated" so one can open that file with O_TRUNC option.
Likewise, we also need to provide a way to set modified time on SysFS
inodes. For most inodes, we should return ENOTIMPL error, but for the
power state switch, we ignore the modified time setting and just return
KSuccess.
These fixes allow to do "echo -n 1 > /sys/firmware/power_state" in Shell
after gaining root permissions, to switch the power state.
There's basically no real difference in software between a SATA harddisk
and IDE harddisk. The difference in the implementation is for the host
bus adapter protocol and registers layout.
Therefore, there's no point in putting a distinction in software to
these devices.
This change also greatly simplifies and removes stale APIs and removes
unnecessary parameters in constructor calls, which tighten things
further everywhere.
