Storage controllers are initialized during init and are never modified.
NonnullRefPtr can be safely used instead of the NonnullLockRefPtr. This
also fixes one of the UB issue that was there when using an NVMe device
because of NonnullLockRefPtr.
We can add proper locking when we need to modify the storage controllers
after init.
This is done with 2 major steps:
1. Remove JailManagement singleton and use a structure that resembles
what we have with the Process object. This is required later for the
second step in this commit, but on its own, is a major change that
removes this clunky singleton that had no real usage by itself.
2. Use IntrusiveLists to keep references to Process objects in the same
Jail so it will be much more straightforward to iterate on this kind
of objects when needed. Previously we locked the entire Process list
and we did a simple pointer comparison to check if the checked
Process we iterate on is in the same Jail or not, which required
taking multiple Spinlocks in a very clumsy and heavyweight way.
Since the ProcFS doesn't hold many global objects within it, the need
for a fully-structured design of backing components and a registry like
with the SysFS is no longer true.
To acommodate this, let's remove all backing store and components of the
ProcFS, so now it resembles what we had in the early days of ProcFS in
the project - a mostly-static filesystem, with very small amount of
kmalloc allocations needed.
We still use the inode index mechanism to understand the role of each
inode, but this is done in a much "static"ier way than before.
Even though we currently build all of Userland and the Kernel with the
-mstrict-align flag, the compiler will still emit unaligned memory
accesses. To work around this, we disable the check for now. See
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/issues/17516 for the relevant
issue.
This commit adds Processor::set_thread_specific_data, and this function
is used to factor out architecture specific implementation of setting
the thread specific data. This function is implemented for
aarch64 and x86_64, and the callsites are changed to use this function
instead.
This adds the necessary code to init.cpp to be able to execute the first
userspace process. To do this, first the filesystem code is initialized,
which will use the ramdisk embedded into the kernel image. Then the
first userspace process, /bin/SystemServer is executed. :^)
The ramdisk code is used as it is useful for the bring-up of the aarch64
port, however once the kernel has support for better ram-based
filesystems, the ramdisk code will be removed again.
This sets up the correct ThreadRegisters state when a process is
exec'ed, which happens when the first userspace application is executed.
Also changes Processor.cpp to get the stack pointer from the
ThreadRegisters.
This allows the function to be called from other translation units, in
particular this allows the CrashHandler.cpp file to be shared between
aarch64 and x86_64.
Setting the kernel_load_base variable caused backtracking to regress, so
to have proper backtracing the calculation of the symbol address in
KSyms.cpp needs to keep into account that the aarch64 kernel is linked
at a high virtual memory address.
When we execute in userspace, the exception level is EL0, so to handle
exceptions, such as interrupts, and syscalls, we need to add handlers to
vector_table.S. For now we only support running userspace applications
in AArch64 mode, so this commit only adds the handlers for that mode.
To detect instruction aborts, a helper to Registers.h is added, and used
in Interrupts.cpp. Additionally, the PageFault class gets a setter to
set the PageFaults m_is_instruction_fetch bool, and is also used in
Interrupts.cpp.
This patch removes the x86 mechanism for calling syscalls, favoring
the more modern syscall instruction. It also moves architecture
dependent code from functions that are meant to be architecture
agnostic therefore paving the way for adding more architectures.
This will cause page faults to be generated. Since the previous commits
introduced the handling of page faults, we can now actually correctly
handle page faults.
The code in PageDirectory.cpp now keeps track of the registered page
directories, and actually sets the TTBR0_EL1 to the page table base of
the currently executing thread. When context switching, we now also
change the TTBR0_EL1 to the page table base of the thread that we
context switch into.
