The POSIX manpage just says that wctrans_t should be "a scalar type that
can hold values which represent locale-specific character mappings", and
doing switch statements with ints is much more pleasant than with
pointers.
POSIX just says that mbstate_t should be an "object type other than an
array type" that can hold the conversion state for converting between
(multi-byte) characters and wide characters.
Since no other information regarding the contents is given, this
apparently means that we should add whatever we need once we start
implementing that conversion.
Replace the old logic where we would start with a host build, and swap
all the CMake compiler and target variables underneath it to trick
CMake into building for Serenity after we configured and built the Lagom
code generators.
The SuperBuild creates two ExternalProjects, one for Lagom and one for
Serenity. The Serenity project depends on the install stage for the
Lagom build. The SuperBuild also generates a CMakeToolchain file for the
Serenity build to use that replaces the old toolchain file that was only
used for Ports.
To ensure that code generators are rebuilt when core libraries such as
AK and LibCore are modified, developers will need to direct their manual
`ninja` invocations to the SuperBuild's binary directory instead of the
Serenity binary directory.
This commit includes warning coalescing and option style cleanup for the
affected CMakeLists in the Kernel, top level, and runtime support
libraries. A large part of the cleanup is replacing USE_CLANG_TOOLCHAIN
with the proper CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID variable, which will no longer be
confused by a host clang compiler.
This change removes the halt and reboot syscalls, and create a new
mechanism to change the power state of the machine.
Instead of how power state was changed until now, put a SysFS node as
writable only for the superuser, that with a defined value, can result
in either reboot or poweroff.
In the future, a power group can be assigned to this node (which will be
the GroupID responsible for power management).
This opens an opportunity to permit to shutdown/reboot without superuser
permissions, so in the future, a userspace daemon can take control of
this node to perform power management operations without superuser
permissions, if we enforce different UserID/GroupID on that node.
This removes the awkward String::replace API which was the only String
API which mutated the String and replaces it with a new immutable
version that returns a new String with the replacements applied. This
also fixes a couple of UAFs that were caused by the use of this API.
As an optimization an equivalent StringView::replace API was also added
to remove an unnecessary String allocations in the format of:
`String { view }.replace(...);`
These interfaces are broken for about 9 months, maybe longer than that.
At this point, this is just a dead code nobody tests or tries to use, so
let's remove it instead of keeping a stale code just for the sake of
keeping it and hoping someone will fix it.
To better justify this, I read that OpenBSD removed loadable kernel
modules in 5.7 release (2014), mainly for the same reason we do -
nobody used it so they had no good reason to maintain it.
Still, OpenBSD had LKMs being effectively working, which is not the
current state in our project for a long time.
An arguably better approach to minimize the Kernel image size is to
allow dropping drivers and features while compiling a new image.
In 553361d we started mprotecting the atexit handlers when they are not
being modified or executed. As part of that commit, we unintentionally
changed the max number of global destructors from 1024 to 256 (on x86,
only 128 on x86_64). This patch expands the initial size of the global
destructors page to 2 pages from 1, and allows the pool to be expanded
at runtime by mapping a new set of pages and copying the AtExitEntries
over.
Two new ioctl requests are used to get and set the sample rate of the
sound card. The SB16 device keeps track of the sample rate separately,
because I don't want to figure out how to read the sample rate from the
device; it's easier that way.
The soundcard write doesn't set the sample rate to 44100 Hz every time
anymore, as we want to change it externally.
Calling sigprocmask() through the PLT requires setting the ebx register
to the address of the global offset table, otherwise chaos ensues. Also
the value of the ecx register was assumed to be preserved across that
function call despite the fact that it is caller-saved in the x86
calling convention.
1. Move htonl() etc. from <arpa/inet.h> to <netinet/in.h> (which
<arpa/inet.h> includes).
The htonl(), htons(), ntohl(), and ntohs() functions shall be
available as described in <arpa/inet.h>. Inclusion of the
<netinet/in.h> header may also make visible all symbols from
<arpa/inet.h>.
- POSIX
2. Define IN6_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK() and IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED()
For some reason X/OPEN requires that fd_set has a field fds_bits. Xproto
requires either fds_bits or _fds_bits to be present, so the field 'bits'
was renamed 'fds_bits'
The `-z,text` linker flag causes the linker to reject shared libraries
and PIE executables that have textrels. Our code mostly did not use
these except in one place in LibC, which is changed in this commit.
This makes GNU ld match LLD's behavior, which has this option enabled by
default.
TEXTRELs pose a security risk, as performing these relocations require
executable pages to be written to by the dynamic linker. This can
significantly weaken W^X hardening mitigations.
Note that after this change, TEXTRELs can still be used in ports, as the
dynamic loader code is not changed. There are also uses of it in the
kernel, removing which are outside the scope of this PR. To allow those,
`-z,notext` is added.
