Legally we could just return a null pointer, however returning a
pointer other than the null pointer is more compatible with
improperly written software that assumes that a null pointer means
allocation failure.
Only keep track of that (and eventually close() it) internally instead.
This argument is not present on other systems, so we were running into
compatibility issues with ports.
Also bring the implementation closer to Linux and OpenBSD by making sure
to close the slave pty fd in the fork()'d child as well as _exit()'ing
on login_tty() failure - it's non-POSIX, so those are our references
here. :^)
By default malloc manages memory internally in larger blocks. When
one of those blocks is added we initialize a free list by touching
each of the new block's pages, thereby committing all that memory
upfront.
This changes malloc to build the free list on demand which as a
bonus also distributes the latency hit for new blocks more evenly
because the page faults for the zero pages now don't happen all at
once.
An IP socket can now join a multicast group by using the
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP sockopt, which will cause it to start receiving
packets sent to the multicast address, even though this address does
not belong to this host.
When attempting to fix the dirent code I also changed
this to use strlcpy instead of the custom string copy
loop that was there before. Looking over strlcpy it
looked like it should work when using a non null terminated
string, I obviously misinterpreted the implementation
as it will read till it finds a null terminator.
Manually null terminate the string to address this.
Gunnar found this after he fixed UserspaceEmulator.
I reproduced it locally using his branch, and also
found the memory leak I had in the unit test for the
scandir that I added, so lets fix that as well.

This change implements the pthread user space spinlock API. The
stress-ng Port requires a functioning version to work correctly.
To facilitate the requirements of the posix specification for the API
we implement the spinlock so that the owning tid is the value stored
in the spinlock. This gives us the proper ownership semantics needed
to implement the proper error handling.
I ran into a need for this when running stress-ng against the system.
This change implements the full functionality of scandir, where it
accepts a selection callback, as well as a comparison callback.
These can be used to trim and sort the entries from the directory
that we are being asked to enumerate. A test was also included to
validate the new functionality.
While adding new functionality which used the d_reclen member
to copy a dirent, I realized that the value being populated
was incorrect. sys_ent::total_size() function calculates the
size of the sys_ent structure, but dirent is larger than sys_ent.
This causes the malloc to be too small and you end up missing
the end of the copy, which can miss the null terminator
resulting in corrupt dirent names.
Since we don't actually use the variable length member nature
of dirent on other platforms we can just use the full size of
the struct ad the d_reclen value.
Also replace the custom strcpy with the standard version.
According to POSIX.1 all error codes have to be distinct - with
the exception for EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK. Other libcs including
eglibc and newlib define EWOULDBLOCK as an alias for EAGAIN and
some software including OpenTTD expect this behavior.
Previously, TLS data was always zero-initialized.
To support initializing the values of TLS data, sys$allocate_tls now
receives a buffer with the desired initial data, and copies it to the
master TLS region of the process.
The DynamicLinker gathers the initial TLS image and passes it to
sys$allocate_tls.
We also now require the size passed to sys$allocate_tls to be
page-aligned, to make things easier. Note that this doesn't waste memory
as the TLS data has to be allocated in separate pages anyway.
In a1720eed2a I added this new test,
but missed that there were already some "unit tests" for LibC over
in Userland/Tests/LibC. So lets unify these two locations.
This commit will add MSG_PEEK support, which allows a package to be
seen without taking it from the buffer, so that a subsequent recv()
without the MSG_PEEK flag can pick it up.
We had some inconsistencies before:
- Sometimes "The", sometimes "the"
- Sometimes trailing ".", sometimes no trailing "."
I picked the most common one (lowecase "the", trailing ".") and applied
it to all copyright headers.
By using the exact same string everywhere we can ensure nothing gets
missed during a global search (and replace), and that these
inconsistencies are not spread any further (as copyright headers are
commonly copied to new files).
This turns the perfcore format into more a log than it was before,
which lets us properly log process, thread and region
creation/destruction. This also makes it unnecessary to dump the
process' regions every time it is scheduled like we did before.
Incidentally this also fixes 'profile -c' because we previously ended
up incorrectly dumping the parent's region map into the profile data.
Log-based mmap support enables profiling shared libraries which
are loaded at runtime, e.g. via dlopen().
This enables profiling both the parent and child process for
programs which use execve(). Previously we'd discard the profiling
data for the old process.
The Profiler tool has been updated to not treat thread IDs as
process IDs anymore. This enables support for processes with more
than one thread. Also, there's a new widget to filter which
process should be displayed.
- Reorganized some variables (alphabetically and based on their function) so that the new ones don't stick out.
