A change introduced in 5e01234 made it the resposibility of each
filesystem to have the file types returned from
'traverse_as_directory' match up with the DT_* types.
However, this caused corruption of the Ext2FS file format because
the Ext2FS uses 'traverse_as_directory' internally when manipulating
the file system. The result was a mixture between EXT2_FT_* and DT_*
file types in the internal Ext2FS structures.
Starting with this commit, the conversion from internal filesystem file
types to the user facing DT_* types happens at a later stage,
in the 'FileDescription::get_dir_entries' function which is directly
used by sys$get_dir_entries.
This fixes an issue we had in the git port where git would not
recognize untracked files (for example in 'git status').
When git used readdir, the 'd_type' field in the dirent struct contained
bad values (Specifically, it contained the values defiend in
Kernel/FileSystem/ext2_fs.h instead of the ones in LibC/dirent.h).
After this fix, we can create a new git repository with 'git init', and
then stage and commit files as usual.
An IRQ handler should always be ready to respond to any IRQ.
We must remember that hardware can generate IRQs without any interaction
from our code at all. Ignoring IRQs in such cases is obviously not the
right thing to do.
The JS tests pointed out that the implementation in DateTime
had an off-by-one in the month when doing the leap year check,
so this change fixes that bug.
MemoryManager cannot use the Singleton class because
MemoryManager::initialize is called before the global constructors
are run. That caused the Singleton to be re-initialized, causing
it to create another MemoryManager instance.

Rather than hardcoding where the kmalloc pool should be, place
it at the end of the kernel image instead. This avoids corrupting
global variables or other parts of the kernel as it grows.
Fixes#3257
When trying to scroll up on virtualizers that don't use the VMware
backdoor and instead use PS2MouseDevice, it would actually scroll
down rapidly.
Looking into it, the mouse delta for scrolling down was 1 and 15
for scrolling up. 15 is suspiciously -1 for a nibble.
According to https://isdaman.com/alsos/hardware/mouse/ps2interface.htm
the Z is actually 4 bits for Intellimouse.
This fixes scrolling up on virtualizers such as VirtualBox.
The kernel no longer needs sprintf (which might, in theory, overflow),
so we can hide the C++ declaration and make the function uncallable
from within the kernel.
However, libstdc++ still links against it, as libstdc++ uses it for
demangling, from AK::demangle().

it at the end of the kernel image instead. This avoids corrupting

The CMOS sets bit 2 (0x4) if times are binary, if it's not
set they're in BCD.
The CMOS sets bit 1 (0x1) if hours are on a 12 hour clock.
In that case, the highest bit in the hour byte is set for
PM times (both in binary and BCD times).
Three bugs:
1. The lower 7 bits were masked off incorrectly when calling
bcd_to_binary(). Use 0x7F as mask, not 0x70.
2. The highest bit to check if a time was PM was checked after
BCD conversion of the low 7 bits, which clobbered that bit.
Do the check before BCD conversion.
3. In the 12 hour clock, midnight and noon are "12", so those
need to be converted to 0 even if for non-PM times (else
midnight is "12", not "0").
With this, SerenityOS consistently shows UTC as the current time,
as it should.
If folks want it to display local time instead, they can get this
by adding `-rtc base=localtime` to Meta/run.sh -- but a better fix
would be to add timezone management and convert from UTC system
clock to the user timezone at display time.
Previously we were putting strings at the bottom of the allocated stack
region, and pointer arrays (argv, env, auxv) at the top. There was no
reason for this other than "it seemed easier to do it that way at the
time I wrote it."
This patch packs the strings and pointer vectors into the same area at
the top of the stack.
This reduces the memory footprint of all programs by 4 KiB. :^)
This does not add any behaviour change to the processes, but it ties a
TTY to an active process group via TIOCSPGRP, and returns the TTY to the
kernel when all processes in the process group die.
Also makes the TTY keep a link to the original controlling process' parent (for
SIGCHLD) instead of the process itself.
This fixes a bunch of unchecked kernel reads and writes, seems like they
would might exploitable :). Write of sockaddr_in size to any address you
please...
