It turns out some BIOS vendors don't support non-BCD date/time mode, but
we were relying on it being available. We no longer do this, but instead
check whether the BIOS claims to provide BCD or regular binary values for
its date/time data.
We were just blindly trusting that the bootloader would only give us
page-aligned memory regions. This is apparently not always the case,
so now we can try to repair those regions.
Fixes#601
We were always returning the full VM range of the partially-unmapped
Region to the range allocator. This caused us to re-use those addresses
for subsequent VM allocations.
This patch also skips creating a new VMObject in partial munmap().
Instead we just make split regions that point into the same VMObject.
This fixes the mysterious GCC ICE on large C++ programs.
This simplifies the ownership model and makes Region easier to reason
about. Userspace Regions are now primarily kept by Process::m_regions.
Kernel Regions are kept in various OwnPtr<Regions>'s.
Regions now only ever get unmapped when they are destroyed.
If we can't already read when we enter recvfrom() on a LocalSocket,
we'll now block the current thread until we can.
Also added a buffer_for(FileDescription&) helper so that the client
and server can share some of the code. :^)
1) Off-by-one in block allocation when block size != 1 KB
Due to a quirk in the on-disk layout of ext2, file systems with a block
size of 1 KB have block #1 as their first block, while all others start
on block #0.
2) We had no fallback mechanism when the preferred group was full
We now allocate blocks from the preferred block group as long as it's
possible, and fall back to a simple scan through all groups when the
preferred one is full.
Put one unused page on each side of VM allocations to make invalid
accesses more likely to generate crashes.
Note that we will not add this guard padding for mmap() at a specific
memory address, only to "mmap it anywhere" requests.
Made getsockopt() and setsockopt() virtual so we can handle them in the
various Socket subclasses. The subclasses map kinda nicely to "levels".
This will allow us to implement things like "traceroute", although..
I spent some time trying to do that, but then hit a wall when it turned
out that the user-mode networking in QEMU doesn't preserve TTL in the
ICMP packets passing through.
We now no longer hardcode the sigreturn syscall in
the signal trampoline. Because of the way inline asm inputs
work, I've had to enclose the trampoline in the function
signal_trampoline_dummy.
This is a freelist allocator with static size classes that works as a
complement to the generic kmalloc(). It's a lot faster than kmalloc()
since allocation just means popping from the freelist.
It's also significantly more compact when there are a lot of objects
smaller than the minimum kmalloc chunk size (32 bytes.)
This patch enables it for the Region and PhysicalPage classes.
In the PhysicalPage (8 bytes) case, it's a huge improvement since we
no longer waste 75% of the storage allocated.
There are also a number of ways this can be improved, so let's keep
working on it going forward.
This patch makes it possible to *run* text files that start with the
characters "#!" followed by an interpreter.
I've tested this with both the Serenity built-in shell and the Bash
shell, and it works as expected. :^)
If we receive an IRQ while the idle task is running, prevent it from
re-halting the CPU after the IRQ handler returns.
Instead have the idle task yield to the scheduler, so we can see if
the IRQ has unblocked something.
The introduction fchdir in the middle of the EUMERATE_SYSCALLS
expression changed other syscall numbers, which broke compatibility.
This commit fixes that by moving it to the end.
The fchdir() function is equivalent to chdir() except that the
directory that is to be the new current working directory is
specified by a file descriptor.
Also added some assertions to DirectoryEntry in case someone tries to
instantiate them with names that would overflow the name buffer.
DirectoryEntry is a crappy data structure, and the name buffer is also
crappy. Added a FIXME about replacing it with something nicer.
Before this patch, the DirectoryEntry::name buffer would overflow if
you did "touch extremely-long-file-name". Duh.
Fixes#538.
Due to the changes in signal handling m_kernel_stack_for_signal_handler_region
and m_signal_stack_user_region are no longer necessary, and so, have been
removed. I've also removed the similarly reduntant m_tss_to_resume_kernel.
This approach is a bit naiive - whenever we send a packet out, we
check to see if there are any other packets we should try to send.
This works well enough for a busy connection but not very well for a
quiet one. Ideally we would check for not-acked packets on some kind
of timer, and use the length of this not-acked list as feedback to
throttle the writes coming from userspace.
This allows us to take advantage of unsolicited ARP replies, such as
those that are emitted by many systems after their network interfaces
are enabled, or after their DHCP client sets their IP.
This also makes us a bit more vulnerable to ARP flooding, but we need
some kind of eviction strategy anyway, so we can deal with that later.
