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().
|
|
Noticed these boot only functions are not currently UNMAP_AFTER_INIT.
Lets fix that :^)
|
|
We can leave the .ksyms section mapped-but-read-only and then have the
symbols index simply point into it.
Note that we manually insert null-terminators into the symbols section
while parsing it.
This gets rid of ~950 KiB of kmalloc_eternal() at startup. :^)

- dump_backtrace was using ebp instead of rbp on x86_64, only using the
lower 32-bits of rbp.
- The symbol loader was only fetching half of the pointer from the
symbol table. (8 chars instead of 16 chars)

A new header file has been created in the Arch/ folder while the
implementation has been moved into a CPP living in the X86 folder.

Dr. POSIX really calls these "open file description", not just
"file description", so let's call them exactly that. :^)
|
|
Previously it would only print the backtrace to serial, which would be
inaccessible if you don't have serial setup.
|
|
By subtracting the load base we get addresses which the user can paste
into addr2line.
|
|
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.
|
|
We have a dedicated format specifier which adds the "0x" prefix, so
let's use that instead of adding it manually.
|

This implements a simple bootloader that is capable of loading ELF64
kernel images. It does this by using QEMU/GRUB to load the kernel image
from disk and pass it to our bootloader as a Multiboot module.
The bootloader then parses the ELF image and sets it up appropriately.
The kernel's entry point is a C++ function with architecture-native
code.

This adds a new section .ksyms at the end of the linker map, reserves
5MiB for it (which are after end_of_kernel_image so they get re-used
once MemoryManager is initialized) and then embeds the symbol map into
the kernel binary with objcopy. This also shrinks the .ksyms section to
the real size of the symbol file (around 900KiB at the moment).
By doing this we can make the symbol map available much earlier in the
boot process, i.e. even before VFS is available.
|
|
|
|
Instead we should just generate kernel.map in such a way that it already
contains demangled symbols.
|
|
|
|
This is to make the 0xc0000000 less a magic number, and will make it
easier in the future to move the Kernel around
|
|
This also removes a lot of CPU.h includes infavor for Sections.h
|
|
The current implementation would only check the first name.length()
characters match, which means any kernel symbol that the provided name
is a prefix of would match, instead of the actual matching symbol.
This commit fixes that by using StringView::operator==() for the
comparison, which already checks the equality correctly.

SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

Added this in a new directory called Kernel/Arch/x86/ where stuff
that applies to both i386 and x86_64 can live.
|
|
Make more of the kernel compile in 64-bit mode, and make some things
pointer-size-agnostic (by using FlatPtr.)
There's a lot of work to do here before the kernel will even compile.
|
|
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
|
|
We're now able to unmap 100 KiB of kernel text after init. :^)

These changes are arbitrarily divided into multiple commits to make it
easier to find potentially introduced bugs with git bisect.

(#4728)
Hex is the de facto format for representing memory addresses, make backtraces
conform to that convention.
|
|
Now that the CrashDaemon symbolicates crashes in userspace, let's take
this one step further and stop trying to symbolicate userspace programs
in the kernel at all.
|
|
KBufferBuilder::build() now returns an OwnPtr<KBuffer> and can fail.
Clients of the API have been updated to handle that situation.
|
|
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).

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.

This enables a nice warning in case a function becomes dead code. Also, in case
of signal_trampoline_dummy, marking it external (non-static) prevents it from
being 'optimized away', which would lead to surprising and weird linker errors.
I found these places by using -Wmissing-declarations.
The Kernel still shows these issues, which I think are false-positives,
but don't want to touch:
- Kernel/Arch/i386/CPU.cpp:1081:17: void Kernel::enter_thread_context(Kernel::Thread*, Kernel::Thread*)
- Kernel/Arch/i386/CPU.cpp:1170:17: void Kernel::context_first_init(Kernel::Thread*, Kernel::Thread*, Kernel::TrapFrame*)
- Kernel/Arch/i386/CPU.cpp:1304:16: u32 Kernel::do_init_context(Kernel::Thread*, u32)
- Kernel/Arch/i386/CPU.cpp:1347:17: void Kernel::pre_init_finished()
- Kernel/Arch/i386/CPU.cpp:1360:17: void Kernel::post_init_finished()
No idea, not gonna touch it.
- Kernel/init.cpp:104:30: void Kernel::init()
- Kernel/init.cpp:167:30: void Kernel::init_ap(u32, Kernel::Processor*)
- Kernel/init.cpp:184:17: void Kernel::init_finished(u32)
Called by boot.S.
- Kernel/init.cpp:383:16: int Kernel::__cxa_atexit(void (*)(void*), void*, void*)
- Kernel/StdLib.cpp:285:19: void __cxa_pure_virtual()
- Kernel/StdLib.cpp:300:19: void __stack_chk_fail()
- Kernel/StdLib.cpp:305:19: void __stack_chk_fail_local()
Not sure how to tell the compiler that the compiler is already using them.
Also, maybe __cxa_atexit should go into StdLib.cpp?
- Kernel/Modules/TestModule.cpp:31:17: void module_init()
- Kernel/Modules/TestModule.cpp:40:17: void module_fini()
Could maybe go into a new header. This would also provide type-checking for new modules.

ByteBuffer is backed by kmalloc heap memory which is a scarce resource.
This fixes an OOM panic when traversing a large directory.

We can now properly initialize all processors without
crashing by sending SMP IPI messages to synchronize memory
between processors.
We now initialize the APs once we have the scheduler running.
This is so that we can process IPI messages from the other
cores.
Also rework interrupt handling a bit so that it's more of a
1:1 mapping. We need to allocate non-sharable interrupts for
IPIs.
This also fixes the occasional hang/crash because all
CPUs now synchronize memory with each other.

This allows us to query the current thread and process on a
per processor basis

implementation.
Allow file system implementation to return meaningful error codes to
callers of the FileDescription::read_entire_file(). This allows both
Process::sys$readlink() and Process::sys$module_load() to return more
detailed errors to the user.

Since FlatPtr is register width agnostic. :^)
|
|
It's tedious to write (and look at) [[gnu::always_inline]] etc. :^)
|
|
This is for consistency with other namespace changes that were made
a while back to the other libraries :)
|
|
|
|
Also, duplicate data in dbg() and klog() calls were removed.
In addition, leakage of virtual address to kernel log is prevented.
This is done by replacing kprintf() calls to dbg() calls with the
leaked data instead.
Also, other kprintf() calls were replaced with klog().
|
|
Previously we would map the entire executable of a program in its own
address space (but make it unavailable to userspace code.)
This patch removes that and changes the symbolication code to remap
the executable on demand (and into the kernel's own address space
instead of the process address space.)
This opens up a couple of further simplifications that will follow.

Suggested by Sergey. The currently running Thread and Process are now
Thread::current and Process::current respectively. :^)
