Specifically this commit implements two setters set_userspace_sp and
set_ip in RegisterState.h, and also adds a stack pointer getter (sp) in
ThreadRegisters.h. Contributed by konrad, thanks for that.
Setting the page table base register (ttbr0_el1) is not enough, and will
not flush the TLB caches, in contrary with x86_64 where setting the CR3
register will actually flush the caches. This commit adds the necessary
code to properly flush the TLB caches when context switching. This
commit also changes Processor::flush_tlb_local to use the vmalle1
variant, as previously we would be flushing the tlb's of all the cores
in the inner-shareable domain.
This replaces the previous owning address space pointer. This commit
should not change any of the existing functionality, but it lays down
the groundwork needed to let us properly access the region table under
the address space spinlock during page fault handling.
- Instead of taking the first new thread as an out-parameter, we now
bundle the process and its first thread in a struct and use that
as the return value.
- Make all Process factory functions return ErrorOr. Use this to convert
some places to more TRY().
- Drop the "try_" prefix on Process factory functions.
This matches x86_64's behaviour in common_trap_exit. (called from
thread_context_first_enter)
Currently thread_context_first_enter is only called when creating new
processes from scratch, in which case this doesn't change the actual
behaviour. But once thread_context_first_enter is called as part of
execve support, this will ensure the Thread's m_current_trap is set
correctly to the new trap frame.
The details of the specific interrupt bits that must be turned on are
irrelevant to the sys$execve implementation. Abstract it away to the
Processor implementations using the InterruptsState enum.
Forked processes already have an existing value for the link register,
which we can't overwrite. But since they're forked the original link
register value that points to exit_kernel_thread was already saved
somewhere on the stack, so it's ok not to set it.
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.
