Since the CPU already does almost all necessary validation steps
for us, we don't really need to attempt to do this. Doing it
ourselves doesn't really work very reliably, because we'd have to
account for other processors modifying virtual memory, and we'd
have to account for e.g. pages not being able to be allocated
due to insufficient resources.
So change the copy_to/from_user (and associated helper functions)
to use the new safe_memcpy, which will return whether it succeeded
or not. The only manual validation step needed (which the CPU
can't perform for us) is making sure the pointers provided by user
mode aren't pointing to kernel mappings.
To make it easier to read/write from/to either kernel or user mode
data add the UserOrKernelBuffer helper class, which will internally
either use copy_from/to_user or directly memcpy, or pass the data
through directly using a temporary buffer on the stack.
Last but not least we need to keep syscall params trivial as we
need to copy them from/to user mode using copy_from/to_user.
- Remove goofy _r suffix from syscall names.
- Don't take a signed buffer size.
- Use Userspace<T>.
- Make TTY::tty_name() return a String instead of a StringView.
It is possible to switch to VirtualConsoles 1 to 4 via the shortcut
ALT + [1-4]. Therefor the array of VirtualConsoles should be guaranteed
to be initialized.
Also add an constant for the maximum number of VirtualConsoles to
guarantee consistency.
You can now request an update of the terminal's window progress by
sending this escape sequence:
<esc>]9;<value>;<max_value>;<escape><backslash>
I'm sure we can find many interesting uses for this! :^)
This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
The TTY driver now respects the ICANON flag, enabling basic line
editing like VKILL, VERASE, VEOF and VWERASE. Additionally,
ICANON is now set by default.
Basic echoing has can now be enabled via the ECHO flag, though
more complicated echoing like ECHOCTL or ECHONL has not been
implemented.
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
