2021-09-08Kernel: Rename DevFS => DevTmpFSLiav A
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.
2021-09-07Kernel: Rename FileDescription => OpenFileDescriptionAndreas Kling
Dr. POSIX really calls these "open file description", not just "file description", so let's call them exactly that. :^)
2021-09-05Kernel: Make all Spinlocks use u8 for storage, remove templateBrian Gianforcaro
The default template argument is only used in one place, and it looks like it was probably just an oversight. The rest of the Kernel code all uses u8 as the type. So lets make that the default and remove the unused template argument, as there doesn't seem to be a reason to allow the size to be customizable.
2021-08-29Kernel: Strongly typed user & group ID'sAndreas Kling
Prior to this change, both uid_t and gid_t were typedef'ed to `u32`. This made it easy to use them interchangeably. Let's not allow that. This patch adds UserID and GroupID using the AK::DistinctNumeric mechanism we've already been employing for pid_t/ProcessID.
2021-08-23Everywhere: Core dump => CoredumpAndreas Kling
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.
2021-08-22Kernel: Rename ScopedSpinlock => SpinlockLockerAndreas Kling
This matches MutexLocker, and doesn't sound like it's a lock itself.
2021-08-22Kernel: Rename SpinLock => SpinlockAndreas Kling
2021-08-14Kernel: Move {Process,Thread,Session,ProcessGroup}ID to Kernel/Forward.hAndreas Kling
2021-08-08Kernel: Simplify the per-CPU SchedulerData structAndreas Kling
2021-08-06Kernel: Rename Memory::Space => Memory::AddressSpaceAndreas Kling
2021-08-06Kernel: Rename Range => VirtualRangeAndreas Kling
...and also RangeAllocator => VirtualRangeAllocator. This clarifies that the ranges we're dealing with are *virtual* memory ranges and not anything else.
2021-08-06Kernel: Move Kernel/Memory/ code into Kernel::Memory namespaceAndreas Kling
2021-08-05Kernel: Add MemoryManager to Forward.hAndreas Kling
2021-07-27Kernel: Introduce ProcessorSpecific<T> for per-CPU data structuresAndreas Kling
To add a new per-CPU data structure, add an ID for it to the ProcessorSpecificDataID enum. Then call ProcessorSpecific<T>::initialize() when you are ready to construct the per-CPU data structure on the current CPU. It can then be accessed via ProcessorSpecific<T>::get(). This patch replaces the existing hard-coded mechanisms for Scheduler and MemoryManager per-CPU data structure.
2021-07-18Kernel/USB: Move USB bus information from /proc to /sysAndreas Kling
This patch moves all the USB data from /proc/bus/usb to /sys/bus/usb.
2021-07-17Kernel: Rename Lock to MutexAndreas Kling
Let's be explicit about what kind of lock this is meant to be.

SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized way of representing file license information. See: https://spdx.dev/resources/use/#identifiers This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool. ambr --no-parent-ignore --key-from-file --rep-from-file key.txt rep.txt *
2021-03-21Kernel: Add simplistic work queuesTom
We can't use deferred functions for anything that may require preemption, such as copying from/to user or accessing the disk. For those purposes we should use a work queue, which is essentially a kernel thread that may be preempted or blocked.
2021-02-08Kernel: Factor address space management out of the Process classAndreas Kling
This patch adds Space, a class representing a process's address space. - Each Process has a Space. - The Space owns the PageDirectory and all Regions in the Process. This allows us to reorganize sys$execve() so that it constructs and populates a new Space fully before committing to it. Previously, we would construct the new address space while still running in the old one, and encountering an error meant we had to do tedious and error-prone rollback. Those problems are now gone, replaced by what's hopefully a set of much smaller problems and missing cleanups. :^)
2021-01-17Kernel: Some futex improvementsTom
This adds support for FUTEX_WAKE_OP, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET, FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET, FUTEX_REQUEUE, and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE, as well well as global and private futex and absolute/relative timeouts against the appropriate clock. This also changes the implementation so that kernel resources are only used when a thread is blocked on a futex. Global futexes are implemented as offsets in VMObjects, so that different processes can share a futex against the same VMObject despite potentially being mapped at different virtual addresses.
2021-01-17Kernel+Userland: Remove shared buffers (shbufs)Andreas Kling
All users of this mechanism have been switched to anonymous files and passing file descriptors with sendfd()/recvfd(). Shbufs got us where we are today, but it's time we say good-bye to them and welcome a much more idiomatic replacement. :^)
2020-12-14Kernel: Generate a coredump file when a process crashesItamar
When a process crashes, we generate a coredump file and write it in /tmp/coredumps/. The coredump file is an ELF file of type ET_CORE. It contains a segment for every userspace memory region of the process, and an additional PT_NOTE segment that contains the registers state for each thread, and a additional data about memory regions (e.g their name).
2020-12-01Kernel: Fix some problems with Thread::wait_on and LockTom
This changes the Thread::wait_on function to not enable interrupts upon leaving, which caused some problems with page fault handlers and in other situations. It may now be called from critical sections, with interrupts enabled or disabled, and returns to the same state. This also requires some fixes to Lock. To aid debugging, a new define LOCK_DEBUG is added that enables checking for Lock leaks upon finalization of a Thread.
2020-11-30Kernel: Move block condition evaluation out of the SchedulerTom
This makes the Scheduler a lot leaner by not having to evaluate block conditions every time it is invoked. Instead evaluate them as the states change, and unblock threads at that point. This also implements some more waitid/waitpid/wait features and behavior. For example, WUNTRACED and WNOWAIT are now supported. And wait will now not return EINTR when SIGCHLD is delivered at the same time.
2020-09-13Kernel: Make copy_to/from_user safe and remove unnecessary checksTom
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.
2020-09-12Kernel: Remove spurious ProcessInspectionHandleBen Wiederhake
The class was removed in 538b985487fd958a7e8663a32867ac39d6643d04.
2020-08-02Kernel: Prevent recursive calls into the schedulerTom
Upon leaving a critical section (such as a SpinLock) we need to check if we're already asynchronously invoking the Scheduler. Otherwise we might end up triggering another context switch as soon as leaving the scheduler lock. Fixes #2883
2020-08-02Kernel: Remove a bunch of duplicate forward declarationsAndreas Kling
2020-07-30Kernel: Simplify the ScopedSpinLock templateAndreas Kling
We can just templatize the LockType here. This makes my Qt Creator syntax highlighting work again. :^)
2020-07-01Kernel: Implement software context switching and Processor structureTom
Moving certain globals into a new Processor structure for each CPU allows us to eventually run an instance of the scheduler on each CPU.
2020-07-01Kernel: Serialize debug outputTom
2020-05-22Kernel: Add convenient ways to map whole BIOS and EBDA into memoryAndreas Kling
This patch adds a MappedROM abstraction to the Kernel VM subsystem. It's basically the read-only byte buffer equivalent of a TypedMapping. We use this in the ACPI and MP table parsers to scan for interesting stuff in low memory instead of doing a bunch of address arithmetic.
2020-03-28Kernel: Add 'ptrace' syscallItamar
This commit adds a basic implementation of the ptrace syscall, which allows one process (the tracer) to control another process (the tracee). While a process is being traced, it is stopped whenever a signal is received (other than SIGCONT). The tracer can start tracing another thread with PT_ATTACH, which causes the tracee to stop. From there, the tracer can use PT_CONTINUE to continue the execution of the tracee, or use other request codes (which haven't been implemented yet) to modify the state of the tracee. Additional request codes are PT_SYSCALL, which causes the tracee to continue exection but stop at the next entry or exit from a syscall, and PT_GETREGS which fethces the last saved register set of the tracee (can be used to inspect syscall arguments and return value). A special request code is PT_TRACE_ME, which is issued by the tracee and causes it to stop when it calls execve and wait for the tracer to attach.
