Now that we have OS macros for essentially every supported OS, let's try
to use them everywhere.
|
|
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 was a premature optimization from the early days of SerenityOS.
The eternal heap was a simple bump pointer allocator over a static
byte array. My original idea was to avoid heap fragmentation and improve
data locality, but both ideas were rooted in cargo culting, not data.
We would reserve 4 MiB at boot and only ended up using ~256 KiB, wasting
the rest.
This patch replaces all kmalloc_eternal() usage by regular kmalloc().
|
|
Static analysis correctly flags that we are missing an implementation
for `operator delete` for all classes which are annotated with
AK_MAKE_ETERNAL. To appease static analysis define an implementation
which asserts to make sure no one ever calls delete on the object.
|
|
This pattern is no good:
kmalloc(elements * sizeof(T));
Since it silently swallows any multiplication overflow.
This patch adds a simple kmalloc_array() that stops the program if
overflow occurs:
kmalloc_array(elements, sizeof(T));
|

This was only used by a single class (AK::ByteBuffer) in the kernel
and not in an OOM-safe way.
Now that ByteBuffer no longer uses it, there's no need for the kernel
heap to burden itself with supporting this.

This fixes a build issue introduced in 23d66fe, where the compiler
statically detected that that mismatching new and delete operators were
used.
Clang generates a warning for this, for the reasons described in the
comment in `AK/kmalloc.cpp`, but GCC does not.
Besides moving the allocator functions into a `.cpp` file, declarations
in `AK/kmalloc.cpp` were reordered to have imports at the top, in order
to make the code more readable.

In standard C++, operators `new` and `new[]` are guaranteed to return a
valid (non-null) pointer and throw an exception if the allocation
couldn't be performed. Based on this, compilers did not check the
returned pointer before attempting to use them for object construction.
To avoid this, the allocator operators were changed to be `noexcept` in
PR #7026, which made GCC emit the desired null checks. Unfortunately,
this is a non-standard feature which meant that Clang would not accept
these function definitions, as it did not match its expected
declaration.
To make compiling using Clang possible, the special "nothrow" versions
of `new` are implemented in this commit. These take a tag type of
`std::nothrow_t` (used for disambiguating from placement new/etc.), and
are allowed by the standard to return null. There is a global variable,
`std::nothrow`, declared with this type, which is also exported into the
global namespace.
To perform fallible allocations, the following syntax should be used:
```cpp
auto ptr = new (nothrow) T;
```
As we don't support exceptions in the kernel, the only way of uphold the
"throwing" new's guarantee is to abort if the allocation couldn't be
performed. Once we have proper OOM handling in the kernel, this should
only be used for critical allocations, where we wouldn't be able to
recover from allocation failures anyway.

This would otherwise cause an error with clang when __serenity__ wasn't
defined.

This implements the macOS API malloc_good_size() which returns the
true allocation size for a given requested allocation size. This
allows us to make use of all the available memory in a malloc chunk.
For example, for a malloc request of 35 bytes our malloc would
internally use a chunk of size 64, however the remaining 29 bytes
would be unused.
Knowing the true allocation size allows us to request more usable
memory that would otherwise be wasted and make that available for
Vector, HashTable and potentially other callers in the future.

We had competing inline definitions of the placement operators new.
Avoid this by having <AK/kmalloc.h> pull in <new> from the compiler
and always using their definitions instead.
I feel like there must be an elegant solution to this whole situation
with the operators, but I'm not sure what it is.

This reverts commit 45b05e9734962b07f95630e76b9a680e1775f002.
I forgot about the Toolchain build again. :^(

This reverts commit 2c823473930121aecbacf0422c8372a0912e581b.

This allows operator new and operator delete to be available to anyone
that links -lc (everyone) rather than just people that include
kmalloc.h (almost no one).
|
|
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.
|
|
This should make stuff like placement new work correctly when building
outside of Serenity. This stuff is a bit delicate due to the weirdly
staged toolchain build at the moment. Hopefully we can unify this stuff
in the future.

Add sized variants of the global operator delete functions so we don't
have to use these GCC options anymore.

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.

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.

This makes it a bit easier to use AK templates out-of-tree.

This is useful for static locals that never need to be destroyed:
Thing& Thing::the()
{
static Eternal<Thing> the;
return the;
}
The object will be allocated in data segment memory and will never have
its destructor invoked.

Cooperate with the compiler to generate and execute the _init_array list
of constructor functions on userspace program statup. This took two days
to get working, my goodness. :^)

This is quite nice, although I wish [[gnu::always_inline]] implied inline.
Also "gnu::" is kind of a wart, but whatcha gonna do.

With a bunch of LibC work to support the feature. LibC now initializes
AK::StringImpl by default. It's now fine to use AK in LibC/Userland! :^)

Refactored SyntheticFileSystem to maintain an arbitrary directory structure.
ProcFileSystem creates a directory entry in /proc for each new process.
