This should allow creating intrusive lists that have smart pointers,
while remaining free (compared to the impl before this commit) when
holding raw pointers :^)
As a sidenote, this also adds a `RawPtr<T>` type, which is just
equivalent to `T*`.
Note that this does not actually use such functionality, but is only
expected to pave the way for #6369, to replace NonnullRefPtrVector<T>
with intrusive lists.
As it is with zero-cost things, this makes the interface a bit less nice
by requiring the type name of what an `IntrusiveListNode` holds (and
optionally its container, if not RawPtr), and also requiring the type of
the container (normally `RawPtr`) on the `IntrusiveList` instance.
This should provide some speed up, as currently searches for regions
containing a given address were performed in O(n) complexity, while
this container allows us to do those in O(logn).
This pattern felt really cluttery:
auto result = something();
if (result.is_error())
return result;
Since it leaves "result" lying around in the no-error case.
Let's use some C++17 if initializer expressions to improve this:
if (auto result = something(); result.is_error())
return result;
Now the "result" goes out of scope if we don't need it anymore.
This is doubly nice since we're also free to reuse the "result"
name later in the same function.
It's perfectly valid for ext2 inodes to have blocks with index 0.
It means that no physical block was allocated for that area of an inode
and we should treat it as if it's filled with zeroes.
Fixes#6139.
The end goal of this commit is to allow to boot on bare metal with no
PS/2 device connected to the system. It turned out that the original
code relied on the existence of the PS/2 keyboard, so VirtualConsole
called it even though ACPI indicated the there's no i8042 controller on
my real machine because I didn't plug any PS/2 device.
The code is much more flexible, so adding HID support for other type of
hardware (e.g. USB HID) could be much simpler.
Briefly describing the change, we have a new singleton called
HIDManagement, which is responsible to initialize the i8042 controller
if exists, and to enumerate its devices. I also abstracted a bit
things, so now every Human interface device is represented with the
HIDDevice class. Then, there are 2 types of it - the MouseDevice and
KeyboardDevice classes; both are responsible to handle the interface in
the DevFS.
PS2KeyboardDevice, PS2MouseDevice and VMWareMouseDevice classes are
responsible for handling the hardware-specific interface they are
assigned to. Therefore, they are inheriting from the IRQHandler class.
Alot of code is shared between i386/i686/x86 and x86_64
and a lot probably will be used for compatability modes.
So we start by moving the headers into one Directory.
We will probalby be able to move some cpp files aswell.
If we happen to read with offset that is after the end of file of a
device, return 0 to indicate EOF. If we return a negative value,
userspace will think that something bad happened when it's really not
the case.
This was using up to 12KB of kernel stack in the triply indirect case
and looks generally spooky. Let's just allocate a ByteBuffer for now
and take the performance hit (of heap allocation). Longer term we can
reorganize the code to reduce the majority of the heap churn.
Switch to using type-safe bitwise operators for the BlockFlags class,
this cleans up a lot of boilerplate casts which are necessary when the
enum is declared as `enum class`.
As it turns out, Dr. POSIX doesn't require that post-mmap() changes
to a file are reflected in the memory mappings. So we don't actually
have to care about the file size changing (or the contents.)
IIUC, as long as all the MAP_SHARED mappings that refer to the same
inode are in sync, we're good.
This means that VMObjects don't need resizing capabilities. I'm sure
there are ways we can take advantage of this fact.
The perfcore file format was previously limited to a single process
since the pid/executable/regions data was top-level in the JSON.
This patch moves the process-specific data into a top-level array
named "processes" and we now add entries for each process that has
been sampled during the profile run.
This makes it possible to see samples from multiple threads when
viewing a perfcore file with Profiler. This is extremely cool! :^)
The superuser can now call sys$profiling_enable() with PID -1 to enable
profiling of all running threads in the system. The perf events are
collected in a global PerformanceEventBuffer (currently 32 MiB in size.)
The events can be accessed via /proc/profile
This may seem like a no-op change, however it shrinks down the Kernel by a bit:
.text -432
.unmap_after_init -60
.data -480
.debug_info -673
.debug_aranges 8
.debug_ranges -232
.debug_line -558
.debug_str -308
.debug_frame -40
With '= default', the compiler can do more inlining, hence the savings.
I intentionally omitted some opportunities for '= default', because they
would increase the Kernel size.
We don't need to flush the on-disk inode struct multiple times while
writing out its block list. Just mark the in-memory Inode as having
dirty metadata and the SyncTask will flush it eventually.
Since the inode is the logical owner of its block list, let's move the
code that computes the block list there, and also stop hogging the FS
lock while we compute the block list, as there is no need for it.
There are two locks in the Ext2FS implementation:
* The FS lock (Ext2FS::m_lock)
This governs access to the superblock, block group descriptors,
and the block & inode bitmap blocks. It's held while allocating
or freeing blocks/inodes.
* The inode lock (Ext2FSInode::m_lock)
This governs access to the inode metadata, including the block
list, and to the content data as well. It's held while doing
basically anything with the inode.
Once an on-disk block/inode is allocated, it logically belongs
to the in-memory Inode object, so there's no need for the FS lock
to be taken while manipulating them, the inode lock is all you need.
This dramatically reduces the impact of disk I/O on path resolution
and various other things that look at individual inodes.
