The obsolete ttyname and ptsname syscalls are removed.
LibC doesn't rely on these anymore, and it helps simplifying the Kernel
in many places, so it's an overall an improvement.
In addition to that, /proc/PID/tty node is removed too as it is not
needed anymore by userspace to get the attached TTY of a process, as
/dev/tty (which is already a character device) represents that as well.
This ioctl operation will allow userspace to determine the index number
of a MasterPTY after opening /dev/ptmx and actually getting an internal
file descriptor of MasterPTY.
This will replace the /dev/tty symlink created by SystemServer, so
instead of a symlink, a character device will be created. When doing
read(2), write(2) and ioctl(2) on this device, it will "redirect" these
operations to the attached TTY of the current process.
This ensures we don't just waste the memory range between the default
base load address and the actual load address that was shifted by the
KASLR offset.
This requirement comes from the fact the Prekernel mapping logic only
uses 2 MiB pages.
This unfortunately reduces the bits of entropy in kernel addresses from
16 bits to 7, but it could be further improved in the future by making
the Prekernel mapping logic a bit more dynamic.
To do so, we now check that the framebuffer type is RGB so we know that
the Multiboot bootloader actually provided a valid framebuffer to work
with.
This fixes a problem I observed on my ICH7 test machine that apparently
the multiboot_framebuffer_addr was not null but there was no framebuffer
that was set up for RGB colors, and by initializing that console, there
was a memory curroption caused somewhere in the EBDA area to probably
cause a complete system lockup.
This helps solving an issue when we boot with text mode screen so the
Kernel initializes an early text mode console, but even after disabling
it, that console can still access VGA ports. This wouldn't be a problem
for emulated hardware but bare metal hardware might have a "conflict",
especially if the native driver explicitly request to disable the VGA
emulation.
This class already has variables named m_lock, and it's also strange
that locals are named with the `m_` prefix. So lets fix that to make
the code more readable.

C++20 provides the `requires` clause which simplifies the ability to
limit overload resolution. Prefer it over `EnableIf`
With all uses of `EnableIf` being removed, also remove the
implementation so future devs are not tempted.
Since the allocated memory is going to be zeroed immediately anyway,
let's avoid redundantly scrubbing it with MALLOC_SCRUB_BYTE just before
that.
The latest versions of gcc and Clang can automatically do this malloc +
memset -> calloc optimization, but I've seen a couple of places where it
failed to be done.
This commit also adds a naive kcalloc function to the kernel that
doesn't (yet) eliminate the redundancy like the userland does.
This is mainly useful when adding an HostController but due to OOM
condition, we abort temporary Vector insertion of a DeviceIdentifier
and then exit the iteration loop to report back the error if occured.
Instead, hold the lock while we copy the contents to a stack-based
Vector then iterate on it without any locking.
Because we rely on heap allocations, we need to propagate errors back
in case of OOM condition, therefore, both PCI::enumerate API function
and PCI::Access::add_host_controller_and_enumerate_attached_devices use
now a ErrorOr<void> return value to propagate errors. OOM Error can only
occur when enumerating the m_device_identifiers vector under a spinlock
and trying to expand the temporary Vector which will be used locklessly
to actually iterate over the PCI::DeviceIdentifiers objects.
This code attempts to copy the `Protocol::Resource3DSpecification`
struct into request, starting at `Protocol::ResourceCreate3D::target`
member of the `Protocol::ResourceCreate3D` struct.
The problem is that the `Protocol::Resource3DSpecification` struct
does not having the trailing `u32 padding` that the `ResourceCreate3D`
struct has. Leading to memcopy overrunning the struct and corrupting
32 bits of data trailing the struct.
Found by SonarCloud:
- Memory copy function overflows the destination buffer.
As there is no need for a Prekernel on aarch64, the Prekernel code was
moved into Kernel itself. The functionality remains the same.
SERENITY_KERNEL_AND_INITRD in run.sh specifies a kernel and an inital
ramdisk to be used by the emulator. This is needed because aarch64
does not need a Prekernel and the other ones do.
