This is done by 2 ways which both fit very well together:
- We stop use LockRefPtrs. We also don't allow expansion of the
m_channels member, by setting it to be a fixed Array of 2
IDEChannels.
- More error propagation through the code, in the construction point of
IDEChannel(s). This means that in the future we could technically do
something meaningful with OOM conditions when initializing an IDE
controller.
For a very long time, the kernel had only support for basic PS/2 devices
such as the PS2 AT keyboard and regular PS2 mouse (with a scroll wheel).
To adapt to this, we had very simple abstractions in place, essentially,
the PS2 devices were registered as IRQ handlers (IRQ 1 and 12), and when
an interrupt was triggered, we simply had to tell the I8042Controller to
fetch a byte for us, then send it back to the appropriate device for
further processing and queueing of either a key event, or a mouse packet
so userspace can do something meaningful about it.
When we added the VMWare mouse integration feature it was easily adapted
to this paradigm, requiring small changes across the handling code for
these devices.
This patch is a major cleanup for any future advancements in the HID
subsystem.
It ensures we do things in a much more sane manner:
- We stop using LockRefPtrs. Currently, after the initialization of the
i8042 controller, we never have to change RefPtrs in that class, as we
simply don't support PS2 hotplugging currently.
Also, we remove the unnecessary getters for keyboard and mouse devices
which also returned a LockRefPtr.
- There's a clear separation between PS2 devices and the actual device
nodes that normally exist in /dev. PS2 devices are not polled, because
when the user uses these devices, they will trigger an IRQ which when
is handled, could produce either a MousePacket or KeyEvent, depending
on the device state.
The separation is crucial for buses that are polled, for example - USB
is a polled bus and will not generate an IRQ for HID devices.
- There's a clear separation in roles of each structure. The PS2 devices
which are attached to a I8042Controller object are managing the device
state, while the generic MouseDevice and KeyboardDevice manage all
related tasks of a CharacterDevice, as well as interpreting scan code
events and mouse relative/absolute coordinates.
It happens to be that only PS/2 devices that are connected via the i8042
controller can generate interrupt events, so it makes much more sense to
have those devices to implement the enable_interrupts method because of
the I8042Device class and not the HIDDevice class.
Use the new class in HID code, because all other HID device controllers
will be using this class as their parent class.
Hence, we no longer keep a reference to any PS/2 device in HIDManagement
and rely on HIDController derived classes to do this for us.
It also means that we removed another instance of a LockRefPtr, which
is designated to be removed and is replaced by the better pattern of
SpinlockProtected<RefPtr<>> instead.
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.
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.
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.
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 patch removes the x86 mechanism for calling syscalls, favoring
the more modern syscall instruction. It also moves architecture
dependent code from functions that are meant to be architecture
agnostic therefore paving the way for adding more architectures.
The handling of page tables is very architecture specific, so belongs
in the Arch directory. Some parts were already architecture-specific,
however this commit moves the rest of the PageDirectory class into the
Arch directory.
While we're here the aarch64/PageDirectory.{h,cpp} files are updated to
be aarch64 specific, by renaming some members and removing x86_64
specific code.
The class used to look at the x86_64 specific exception code to figure
out what kind of page fault happend, however this refactor allows
aarch64 to use the same class.
Various places in the kernel were manually checking the cs register for
x86_64, however to share this with aarch64 a function in RegisterState
is added, and the call-sites are updated. While we're here the
PreviousMode enum is renamed to ExecutionMode.
There are now 2 separate classes for almost the same object type:
- EnumerableDeviceIdentifier, which is used in the enumeration code for
all PCI host controller classes. This is allowed to be moved and
copied, as it doesn't support ref-counting.
- DeviceIdentifier, which inherits from EnumerableDeviceIdentifier. This
class uses ref-counting, and is not allowed to be copied. It has a
spinlock member in its structure to allow safely executing complicated
IO sequences on a PCI device and its space configuration.
There's a static method that allows a quick conversion from
EnumerableDeviceIdentifier to DeviceIdentifier while creating a
NonnullRefPtr out of it.
The reason for doing this is for the sake of integrity and reliablity of
the system in 2 places:
- Ensure that "complicated" tasks that rely on manipulating PCI device
registers are done in a safe manner. For example, determining a PCI
BAR space size requires multiple read and writes to the same register,
and if another CPU tries to do something else with our selected
register, then the result will be a catastrophe.
- Allow the PCI API to have a united form around a shared object which
actually holds much more data than the PCI::Address structure. This is
fundamental if we want to do certain types of optimizations, and be
able to support more features of the PCI bus in the foreseeable
future.
This patch already has several implications:
- All PCI::Device(s) hold a reference to a DeviceIdentifier structure
being given originally from the PCI::Access singleton. This means that
all instances of DeviceIdentifier structures are located in one place,
and all references are pointing to that location. This ensures that
locking the operation spinlock will take effect in all the appropriate
places.
- We no longer support adding PCI host controllers and then immediately
allow for enumerating it with a lambda function. It was found that
this method is extremely broken and too much complicated to work
reliably with the new paradigm being introduced in this patch. This
means that for Volume Management Devices (Intel VMD devices), we
simply first enumerate the PCI bus for such devices in the storage
code, and if we find a device, we attach it in the PCI::Access method
which will scan for devices behind that bridge and will add new
DeviceIdentifier(s) objects to its internal Vector. Afterwards, we
just continue as usual with scanning for actual storage controllers,
so we will find a corresponding NVMe controllers if there were any
behind that VMD bridge.
A lot of interrupt numbers are initialized with the unhandled interrupt
handler. Whenever a new handler is registered on one of these
interrupts, the old handler is unregistered first. Let's not be verbose
about this since it is perfectly normal.
Settled for `cpu_feature_to_name` as that naming is more descriptive
and similarly named `cpu_feature_to_description` function will be
provided for Aarch64.
This seems to work perfectly OK on my ICH7 test machine and also it
works on QEMU, so it is probably OK to restore this.
This will ensure we always get scan code set 1 input, because we enable
scan code set 2 and PS/2 translation on the first (keyboard) port.
The setting of scan code set sequence is removed, as it's buggy and
could lead the controller to fail immediately when doing self-test
afterwards. We will restore it when we understand how to do so safely.
Allow the user to determine a preferred detection path with a new kernel
command line argument. The defualt option is to check i8042 presence
with an ACPI check and if necessary - an "aggressive" test to determine
i8042 existence in the system.
Also, keep the i8042 controller pointer on the stack, so don't assign
m_i8042_controller member pointer if it does not exist.
A virtual method named device_name() was added to
Kernel::PCI to support logging the PCI::Device name
and address using dmesgln_pci. Previously, PCI::Device
did not store the device name.
All devices inheriting from PCI::Device now use dmesgln_pci where
they previously used dmesgln.
These instances were detected by searching for files that include
AK/Memory.h, but don't match the regex:

This regex is pessimistic, so there might be more files that don't
actually use any memory function.
In theory, one might use LibCPP to detect things like this
automatically, but let's do this one step after another.

This step would ideally not have been necessary (increases amount of
refactoring and templates necessary, which in turn increases build
times), but it gives us a couple of nice properties:
- SpinlockProtected inside Singleton (a very common combination) can now
obtain any lock rank just via the template parameter. It was not
previously possible to do this with SingletonInstanceCreator magic.
- SpinlockProtected's lock rank is now mandatory; this is the majority
of cases and allows us to see where we're still missing proper ranks.
- The type already informs us what lock rank a lock has, which aids code
readability and (possibly, if gdb cooperates) lock mismatch debugging.
- The rank of a lock can no longer be dynamic, which is not something we
wanted in the first place (or made use of). Locks randomly changing
their rank sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
- In some places, we might be able to statically check that locks are
taken in the right order (with the right lock rank checking
implementation) as rank information is fully statically known.
This refactoring even more exposes the fact that Mutex has no lock rank
capabilites, which is not fixed here.
If a page fault occurs while interrupts are disabled, we were wrongly
enabling interrupts right away in the page fault handler.
Instead, we should only do this if interrupts were enabled when the
page fault occurred.
These are architecture-specific anyway, so they belong in the Arch
directory. This commit also adds ThreadRegisters::set_initial_state to
factor out the logic in Thread.cpp.
This removes the x86 specific hlt instruction from the scheduler, and
allows us to run the scheduler code for aarch64 by implementing
Processor::wait_for_interrupt for aarch64.
This file does not contain any architecture specific implementations,
so we can move it to the Kernel base directory. Also update the relevant
include paths.
