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 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 is a separate file that behaves similar to the Prekernel for
x86_64, and makes sure the CPU is dropped to EL1, the MMU is enabled,
and makes sure the CPU is running in high virtual memory. This code then
jumps to the usual init function of the kernel.
This commit changes the init.cpp file to start and initialize the
Scheduler, and actually runs init_stage2. To show that it actually
works, another thread is spawned and executed simultaneously, by context
switching between the two!
We are actually storing tpidr_el0, as can be seen in vector_table.S, but
the RegisterState.h incorrectly had tpidr_el1. This will probably save
some annoying debugging later on.
`SysFSComponentRegistry`, `ProcFSComponentRegistry` and
`attach_null_device` "just work" already; let's include them to match
x86_64 as closely as possible.
We used size_t, which is a type that is guarenteed to be large
enough to hold an array index, but uintptr_t is designed to be used
to hold pointer values, which is the case of stack guards.
This patch fixes some include problems on aarch64. aarch64 is still
currently broken but this will get us back to the underlying problem
of FloatExtractor.
Our implementation for Jails resembles much of how FreeBSD jails are
working - it's essentially only a matter of using a RefPtr in the
Process class to a Jail object. Then, when we iterate over all processes
in various cases, we could ensure if either the current process is in
jail and therefore should be restricted what is visible in terms of
PID isolation, and also to be able to expose metadata about Jails in
/sys/kernel/jails node (which does not reveal anything to a process
which is in jail).
A lifetime model for the Jail object is currently plain simple - there's
simpy no way to manually delete a Jail object once it was created. Such
feature should be carefully designed to allow safe destruction of a Jail
without the possibility of releasing a process which is in Jail from the
actual jail. Each process which is attached into a Jail cannot leave it
until the end of a Process (i.e. when finalizing a Process). All jails
are kept being referenced in the JailManagement. When a last attached
process is finalized, the Jail is automatically destroyed.
This makes it easier to differentiate between cases where certain
functionality is not implemented vs. cases where a code location
should really be unreachable.
The BootFramebufferConsole class maps the framebuffer using the
MemoryManager, so to be able to draw the logo, we need to get this
mapped framebuffer. This commit adds a unsafe API for that.
The MemoryManager now works, so we can use the same code as on x86 to
map the framebuffer. Since it uses the MemoryManager, the initialization
of the BootFramebufferConsole has to happen after the MemoryManager is
working.
When an exception happens it is sometimes hard to figure out where
exactly the exception happened, so use the frame pointer of the trap
frame to print a backtrace.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
Instead of storing the current Processor into a core local register, we
currently just store it into a global, since we don't support SMP for
aarch64 anyway. This simplifies the initial implementation.
Since kmalloc() now works, we can actually load the kernel symbol table!
This in turn allows us to call dump_backtrace(), and actually get a
useful backtrace in the aarch64 Kernel.
