These are not called in the kernel or by libstdc++ anyway.
Remove the tempting function, and prevent future overflows.

These are not called anywhere in the kernel anyway.

This makes the Kernel build cleanly with -Wmissing-declarations.
|
|
As suggested in #3096.

This commit adds an implementation of memmem, using the Bitap text
search algorithm for needles smaller than 32 bytes, and a naive loop
search for longer needles.
|
|
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 will panic the kernel immediately if these functions are misused
so we can catch it and fix the misuse.
This patch fixes a couple of misuses:
- create_signal_trampolines() writes to a user-accessible page
above the 3GB address mark. We should really get rid of this
page but that's a whole other thing.
- CoW faults need to use copy_from_user rather than copy_to_user
since it's the *source* pointer that points to user memory.
- Inode faults need to use memcpy rather than copy_to_user since
we're copying a kernel stack buffer into a quickmapped page.
This should make the copy_to/from_user() functions slightly less useful
for exploitation. Before this, they were essentially just glorified
memcpy() with SMAP disabled. :^)

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.

This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which we should eventually be doing.

This patch introduces a helpful copy_string_from_user() function
that takes a bounded null-terminated string from userspace memory
and copies it into a String object.

Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is an x86 CPU feature that
prevents the kernel from accessing userspace memory. With SMAP enabled,
trying to read/write a userspace memory address while in the kernel
will now generate a page fault.
Since it's sometimes necessary to read/write userspace memory, there
are two new instructions that quickly switch the protection on/off:
STAC (disables protection) and CLAC (enables protection.)
These are exposed in kernel code via the stac() and clac() helpers.
There's also a SmapDisabler RAII object that can be used to ensure
that you don't forget to re-enable protection before returning to
userspace code.
THis patch also adds copy_to_user(), copy_from_user() and memset_user()
which are the "correct" way of doing things. These functions allow us
to briefly disable protection for a specific purpose, and then turn it
back on immediately after it's done. Going forward all kernel code
should be moved to using these and all uses of SmapDisabler are to be
considered FIXME's.
Note that we're not realizing the full potential of this feature since
I've used SmapDisabler quite liberally in this initial bring-up patch.

Use simple stack cookies to try to provoke an assertion failure on
stack overflow.
This is far from perfect, since we use a constant cookie instead of
generating a random one on startup, but it can still help us catch
bugs, which is the primary concern right now. :^)
|

Turns out we can use abi::__cxa_demangle() for this, and all we need to
provide is sprintf(), realloc() and free(), so this patch exposes them.
We now have fully demangled C++ backtraces :^)
|
|
This allows us to get rid of all the custom 64-bit division helpers.
I wanted to do this ages ago but couldn't get it working. Turns out it
was unstable due to libgcc using the regular ABI and the kernel being
built with -mregparm=3.
Now that we build the kernel with regular calls, we can just link with
libgcc and get this stuff for free. :^)
|
|
This is just a wrapper around strstr() for now. There are many better
ways to search for a string within a string, but I'm just adding a nice
API at the moment. :^)

We had some kernel-specific gizmos in AK that should really just be in the
Kernel subdirectory instead. The only thing remaining after moving those
was mmx_memcpy() which I moved to the ARCH(i386)-specific section of
LibC/string.cpp.
|
|
These types can be picked up by including <AK/Types.h>:
* u8, u16, u32, u64 (unsigned)
* i8, i16, i32, i64 (signed)

I just discovered the hard way that clobbering FPU/MMX/SSE registers in the
kernel makes things very confusing for userspace (and other kernel threads.)
Let's banish all of those things from the kernel to keep things simple.

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.

The scheduler now operates on threads, rather than on processes.
Each process has a main thread, and can have any number of additional
threads. The process exits when the main thread exits.
This patch doesn't actually spawn any additional threads, it merely
does all the plumbing needed to make it possible. :^)

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

This is a nice speedup for WindowServer. I'll eventually have to do this
with SSE but the kernel doesn't support SSE yet so this is it for now.
|
|
Now the filesystem is generated on-the-fly instead of manually adding and
removing inodes as processes spawn and die.
The code is convoluted and bloated as I wrote it while sleepless. However,
it's still vastly better than the old ProcFS, so I'm committing it.
I also added /proc/PID/fd/N symlinks for each of a process's open fd's.
|
|
Also fix a dumb bug that showed up when I was memsetting something other
than zeroes.
|
|
Also don't enable the large kmalloc catcher by default.
|
|
Also I learned that the ABI allows us to assume DF=0 on function entry.
|
|
|
|
This is really neat. :^)
|
|
It's a bit faster than g++ and seems to generate perfectly fine code.
The kernel is also roughly 10% smaller(!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also fixed broken strcpy that didn't copy the null terminator.
|
|
|

|

It's a lot crappier than I remembered it. It's gonna need a lot of work.
