This singleton simplifies many aspects that we struggled with before:
1. There's no need to make derived classes of Device expose the
constructor as public anymore. The singleton is a friend of them, so he
can call the constructor. This solves the issue with try_create_device
helper neatly, hopefully for good.
2. Getting a reference of the NullDevice is now being done from this
singleton, which means that NullDevice no longer needs to use its own
singleton, and we can apply the try_create_device helper on it too :)
3. We can now defer registration completely after the Device constructor
which means the Device constructor is merely assigning the major and
minor numbers of the Device, and the try_create_device helper ensures it
calls the after_inserting method immediately after construction. This
creates a great opportunity to make registration more OOM-safe.

The "CMAKE_<foo>" variable namespace is reserved, and CXXFILT is not
currently a variable known to upstream CMake.

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.

Both should reside in the SysFS firmware directory which is normally
located in /sys/firmware.
Also, apply some OOM-safety patterns when creating the BIOS and ACPI
directories.
|
|
This will somwhat help unify them also under the same SysFS directory in
the commit.
Also, it feels much more like this change reflects the reality that both
ACPI and the BIOS are part of the firmware on x86 computers.

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.

Let's remove the DynamicParser class, as it really did nothing yet in
the Kernel. Instead, when we add support for AML parsing, we can figure
out how to do it properly without the need of a derived class that just
complicates everything for no good reason.
|

The current implementation of DevFS resembles the linux devtmpfs, and
not the traditional DevFS, so let's rename it to better represent the
direction of the development in regard to this filesystem.
The abbreviation for DevTmpFS is still "dev", because it doesn't add
value as a commandline option to make it longer.
In quick summary - DevFS in unix OSes is simply a static filesystem, so
device nodes are generated and removed by the kernel code. DevTmpFS
is a "modern reinvention" of the DevFS, so it is much more like a TmpFS
in the sense that not only it's stored entirely in RAM, but the userland
is responsible to add and remove devices nodes as it sees fit, and no
kernel code is directly being involved to keep the filesystem in sync.

Dr. POSIX really calls these "open file description", not just
"file description", so let's call them exactly that. :^)
|

A couple of things were changed:
1. Semantic changes - PCI segments are now called PCI domains, to better
match what they are really. It's also the name that Linux gave, and it
seems that Wikipedia also uses this name.
We also remove PCI::ChangeableAddress, because it was used in the past
but now it's no longer being used.
2. There are no WindowedMMIOAccess or MMIOAccess classes anymore, as
they made a bunch of unnecessary complexity. Instead, Windowed access is
removed entirely (this was tested, but never was benchmarked), so we are
left with IO access and memory access options. The memory access option
is essentially mapping the PCI bus (from the chosen PCI domain), to
virtual memory as-is. This means that unless needed, at any time, there
is only one PCI bus being mapped, and this is changed if access to
another PCI bus in the same PCI domain is needed. For now, we don't
support mapping of different PCI buses from different PCI domains at the
same time, because basically it's still a non-issue for most machines
out there.
2. OOM-safety is increased, especially when constructing the Access
object. It means that we pre-allocating any needed resources, and we try
to find PCI domains (if requested to initialize memory access) after we
attempt to construct the Access object, so it's possible to fail at this
point "gracefully".
3. All PCI API functions are now separated into a different header file,
which means only "clients" of the PCI subsystem API will need to include
that header file.
4. Functional changes - we only allow now to enumerate the bus after
a hardware scan. This means that the old method "enumerate_hardware"
is removed, so, when initializing an Access object, the initializing
function must call rescan on it to force it to find devices. This makes
it possible to fail rescan, and also to defer it after construction from
both OOM-safety terms and hotplug capabilities.

This change adds a static lock hierarchy / ranking to the Kernel with
the goal of reducing / finding deadlocks when running with SMP enabled.
We have seen quite a few lock ordering deadlocks (locks taken in a
different order, on two different code paths). As we properly annotate
locks in the system, then these facilities will find these locking
protocol violations automatically
The `LockRank` enum documents the various locks in the system and their
rank. The implementation guarantees that a thread holding one or more
locks of a lower rank cannot acquire an additional lock with rank that
is greater or equal to any of the currently held locks.

Now that all related VirtIO classes are in the VirtIO namespace, let's
just remove the redundant VirtIO word from filenames.
|
|
|
|
Add a dummy Arch/aarch64/boot.S that for now does nothing but
let all processor cores sleep.
For now, none of the actual Prekernel code is built for aarch64.
|
|
This adds just enough scaffolding to make cmake succeed.
The build falls over immediately.
|
|
The pattern of having Prekernel inherit all of the build flags of the
Kernel, and then disabling some flags by adding `-fno-<flag>` options
to then disable those options doesn't work in all scenarios. For example
the ASAN flag `-fasan-shadow-offset=<offset>` has no option to disable
it once it's been passed, so in a future change where this flag is added
we need to be able to disable it cleanly.
The cleaner way is to just allow the Prekernel CMake logic to filter out
the COMPILE_OPTIONS specified for that specific target. This allows us
to remove individual options without trashing all inherited options.

Now that the old PCI::Device was removed, we can complete the PCI
changes by making the PCI::DeviceController to be named PCI::Device.
Really the entire purpose and the distinction between the two was about
interrupts, but since this is no longer a problem, just rename it to
simplify things further.
|
|
I created this class a long time ago just to be able to quickly make a
PCI device to also represent an interrupt handler (because PCI devices
have this capability for most devices).
Then after a while I introduced the PCI::DeviceController, which is
really almost the same thing (a PCI device class that has Address member
in it), but is not tied to interrupts so it can have no interrupts, or
spawn interrupt handlers however it wants to seems fit.
However I decided it's time to say goodbye for this class for
a couple of reasons:
1. It made a whole bunch of weird patterns where you had a PCI::Device
and a PCI::DeviceController being used in the topic of implementation,
where originally, they meant to be used mutually exclusively (you
can't and really don't want to use both).
2. We can really make all the classes that inherit from PCI::Device
to inherit from IRQHandler at this point. Later on, when we have MSI
interrupts support, we can go further and untie things even more.
3. It makes it possible to simplify the VirtIO implementation to a great
extent. While this commit almost doesn't change it, future changes
can untangle some complexity in the VirtIO code.
For UHCIController, E1000NetworkAdapter, NE2000NetworkAdapter,
RTL8139NetworkAdapter, RTL8168NetworkAdapter, E1000ENetworkAdapter we
are simply making them to inherit the IRQHandler. This makes some sense,
because the first 3 devices will never support anything besides IRQs.
For the last 2, they might have MSI support, so when we start to utilize
those, we might need to untie these classes from IRQHandler and spawn
IRQHandler(s) or MSIHandler(s) as needed.
The VirtIODevice class is also a case where we currently need to use
both PCI::DeviceController and IRQHandler classes as parents, but it
could also be untied from the latter.

We all know what a coredump is, and it feels more natural to refer to
it as a coredump (most code already does), so let's be consistent.
|
|
The number of UHCI related files is starting to expand to the point
where it's best if we move this into their own subdirectory. It'll
also make it easier to manage when we decide to add some more
controller types (whenever that may be)

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.
|
|
We are not using this for anything and it's just been sitting there
gathering dust for well over a year, so let's stop carrying all this
complexity around for no good reason.
|
|
This allows us to 1) let go of the Process when an inode is ref'ing for
ProcFSExposedComponent related reasons, and 2) change our ref/unref
implementation.
|
|
This makes it controller agnostic and allows us to access it from the
USB hub code.
The copyright says "Liav A." because git blame says he wrote this.
|
|
|
|
There was some understandable confusion about this error now that we
have multiple toolchains.
|
|
The VirtIO code handles functionality related to the VirtIO bus, so it
really should be in the Bus folder.
|
|
Currently, to append a UTF-16 view to a StringBuilder, callers must
first convert the view to UTF-8 and then append the copy. Add a UTF-16
overload so callers do not need to hold an entire copy in memory.

This removes Pipes dependency on the UHCIController by introducing a
controller base class. This will be used to implement other controllers
such as OHCI.
Additionally, there can be multiple instances of a UHCI controller.
For example, multiple UHCI instances can be required for systems with
EHCI controllers. EHCI relies on using multiple of either UHCI or OHCI
controllers to drive USB 1.x devices.
This means UHCIController can no longer be a singleton. Multiple
instances of it can now be created and passed to the device and then to
the pipe.
To handle finding and creating these instances, USBManagement has been
introduced. It has the same pattern as the other management classes
such as NetworkManagement.

This bug was reintroduced by the removal of -fbuilding-gcc.
|

Taking a reference or a pointer to a value that's not aligned properly
is undefined behavior. While `[[gnu::packed]]` ensures that reads from
and writes to fields of packed structs is a safe operation, the
information about the reduced alignment is lost when creating pointers
to these values.
Weirdly enough, GCC's undefined behavior sanitizer doesn't flag these,
even though the doc of `-Waddress-of-packed-member` says that it usually
leads to UB. In contrast, x86_64 Clang does flag these, which renders
the 64-bit kernel unable to boot.
For now, the `address-of-packed-member` warning will only be enabled in
the kernel, as it is absolutely crucial there because of KUBSAN, but
might get excessively noisy for the userland in the future.
Also note that we can't append to `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS` like we do for other
flags in the kernel, because flags added via `add_compile_options` come
after these, so the `-Wno-address-of-packed-member` in the root would
cancel it out.

This commit implements the ISO 9660 filesystem as specified in ECMA 119.
Currently, it only supports the base specification and Joliet or Rock
Ridge support is not present. The filesystem will normalize all
filenames to be lowercase (same as Linux).
The filesystem can be mounted directly from a file. Loop devices are
currently not supported by SerenityOS.
Special thanks to Lubrsi for testing on real hardware and providing
profiling help.

...and also RangeAllocator => VirtualRangeAllocator.
This clarifies that the ranges we're dealing with are *virtual* memory
ranges and not anything else.
|
|
This directory isn't just about virtual memory, it's about all kinds
of memory management.
|
|
The host's version of c++filt might not work on some operating systems,
e.g. macOS.
|
|
This enables further work on implementing KASLR by adding relocation
support to the pre-kernel and updating the kernel to be less dependent
on specific virtual memory layouts.

GCC and Clang allow us to inject a call to a function named
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc on every edge. This function has to be defined
by us. By noting down the caller in that function we can trace the code
we have encountered during execution. Such information is used by
coverage guided fuzzers like AFL and LibFuzzer to determine if a new
input resulted in a new code path. This makes fuzzing much more
effective.
Additionally this adds a basic KCOV implementation. KCOV is an API that
allows user space to request the kernel to start collecting coverage
information for a given user space thread. Furthermore KCOV then exposes
the collected program counters to user space via a BlockDevice which can
be mmaped from user space.
This work is required to add effective support for fuzzing SerenityOS to
the Syzkaller syscall fuzzer. :^) :^)

This fixes the use case of using clang, or building inside CLion with
an older host compiler.
|
|
We don't need an entirely separate VMObject subclass to influence the
location of the physical pages.
Instead, we simply allocate enough physically contiguous memory first,
and then pass it to the AnonymousVMObject constructor that takes a span
of physical pages.
|
|
This patch changes the semantics of purgeable memory.
- AnonymousVMObject now has a "purgeable" flag. It can only be set when
constructing the object. (Previously, all anonymous memory was
effectively purgeable.)
- AnonymousVMObject now has a "volatile" flag. It covers the entire
range of physical pages. (Previously, we tracked ranges of volatile
pages, effectively making it a page-level concept.)
- Non-volatile objects maintain a physical page reservation via the
committed pages mechanism, to ensure full coverage for page faults.
- When an object is made volatile, it relinquishes any unused committed
pages immediately. If later made non-volatile again, we then attempt
to make a new committed pages reservation. If this fails, we return
ENOMEM to userspace.
mmap() now creates purgeable objects if passed the MAP_PURGEABLE option
together with MAP_ANONYMOUS. anon_create() memory is always purgeable.

When building the kernel from within SerenityOS we would link it against
default libs which doesn't really make sense to me.

GCC-11 added a new option `-fzero-call-used-regs` which causes the
compiler to zero function arguments before return of a function. The
goal being to reduce the possible attack surface by disarming ROP
gadgets that might be potentially useful to attackers, and reducing
the risk of information leaks via stale register data. You can find
the GCC commit below[0].
This is a mitigation I noticed on the Linux KSPP issue tracker[1] and
thought it would be useful mitigation for the SerenityOS Kernel.
The reduction in ROP gadgets is observable using the ropgadget utility:
$ ROPgadget --nosys --nojop --binary Kernel | tail -n1
Unique gadgets found: 42754
$ ROPgadget --nosys --nojop --binary Kernel.RegZeroing | tail -n1
Unique gadgets found: 41238
The size difference for the i686 Kernel binary is negligible:
$ size Kernel Kernel.RegZerogin
text data bss dec hex filename
13253648 7729637 6302360 27285645 1a0588d Kernel
13277504 7729637 6302360 27309501 1a0b5bd Kernel.RegZeroing
We don't have any great workloads to measure regressions in Kernel
performance, but Kees Cook mentioned he measured only around %1
performance regression with this enabled on his Linux kernel build.[2]
