The priority boosting mechanism has been broken for a very long time.
Let's remove it from the codebase and we can bring it back the day
someone feels like implementing it in a working way. :^)
These changes are arbitrarily divided into multiple commits to make it
easier to find potentially introduced bugs with git bisect.
This commit touches some dbg() calls which are enclosed in macros. This
should be fine because with the new constexpr stuff, we ensure that the
stuff actually compiles.
Killing remaining threads already happens in Process::die(), but
coredumps are only written in Process::finalize(). We need to keep a
reference to each of those threads to prevent them from being destructed
between those two functions, otherwise coredumps will only ever contain
information about the last remaining thread.
Fixes the underlying problem of #4778, though the UI will need
refinements to not show every thread's backtrace mashed together.
This is in preparation of adding (much) more process information to
coredumps. As we can only have one null-terminated char[] of arbitrary
length in each struct it's now a single JSON blob, which is a great fit:
easily extensible in the future and allows for key/value pairs and even
nested objects, which will be used e.g. for the process environment, for
example.
This patch adds a new AnonymousFile class which is a File backed by
an AnonymousVMObject that can only be mmap'ed and nothing else, really.
I'm hoping that this can become a replacement for shbufs. :^)
Problem:
- Many constructors are defined as `{}` rather than using the ` =
default` compiler-provided constructor.
- Some types provide an implicit conversion operator from `nullptr_t`
instead of requiring the caller to default construct. This violates
the C++ Core Guidelines suggestion to declare single-argument
constructors explicit
(https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit).
Solution:
- Change default constructors to use the compiler-provided default
constructor.
- Remove implicit conversion operators from `nullptr_t` and change
usage to enforce type consistency without conversion.
The vast majority of programs don't ever need to use sys$ptrace(),
and it seems like a high-value system call to prevent a compromised
process from using.
This patch moves sys$ptrace() from the "proc" promise to its own,
new "ptrace" promise and updates the affected apps.
Problem:
- The implementation of `find` is coupled to the implementation of
`SinglyLinkedList`.
Solution:
- Decouple the implementation of `find` from the class by using a
generic `find` algorithm.
Problem:
- The implementation of `find` is coupled to the implementation of
`DoublyLinkedList`.
- `append` and `prepend` are implemented multiple times so that
r-value references can be moved from into the new node. This is
probably not called very often because a pr-value or x-value needs
to be used here.
Solution:
- Decouple the implementation of `find` from the class by using a
generic `find` algorithm.
- Make `append` and `prepend` be function templates so that they can
have binding references which can be forwarded.
This patch merges the profiling functionality in the kernel with the
performance events mechanism. A profiler sample is now just another
perf event, rather than a dedicated thing.
Since perf events were already per-process, this now makes profiling
per-process as well.
Processes with perf events would already write out a perfcore.PID file
to the current directory on death, but since we may want to profile
a process and then let it continue running, recorded perf events can
now be accessed at any time via /proc/PID/perf_events.
This patch also adds information about process memory regions to the
perfcore JSON format. This removes the need to supply a core dump to
the Profiler app for symbolication, and so the "profiler coredump"
mechanism is removed entirely.
There's still a hard limit of 4MB worth of perf events per process,
so this is by no means a perfect final design, but it's a nice step
forward for both simplicity and stability.
Fixes#4848Fixes#4849
When loading non position-independent programs, we now take care not to
load the dynamic loader at an address that collides with the location
the main program wants to load at.
Fixes#4847.
This will enable us to take the desired load address of non-position
independent programs into account when randomizing the load address
of the dynamic loader.
Trying to pass these onto the Terminal while handling an IRQ is a recipe
for disaster. Use Processor::deferred_call_queue to create an ad-hoc
"second half" of the interrupt handler.
Fixes#4889
SystemServer now creates the /tmp/coredump and /tmp/profiler_coredumps
directories at startup, ensuring that they are owned by root, and with
basic 0755 permissions.
The kernel will also now refuse to put core dumps in a directory that
doesn't fulfill the following criteria:
- Owned by 0:0
- Directory with sticky bit not set
- 0755 permissions
Fixes#4435Fixes#4850
We were not handling sticky parents properly in sys$rmdir(). Child
directories of a sticky parent should not be rmdir'able by just anyone.
Only the owner and root.
Fixes#4875.
Before this change, truncating an Ext2FS inode to a larger size than it
was before would give you uninitialized on-disk data.
Fix this by zeroing out all the new space when doing an inode resize.
This is pretty naively implemented via Inode::write_bytes() and there's
lots of room for cleverness here in the future.
