This allows us to use blocking timeouts with either monotonic or
real time for all blockers. Which means that clock_nanosleep()
now also supports CLOCK_REALTIME.
Also, switch alarm() to use CLOCK_REALTIME as per specification.
|
|
We need to be able to guarantee that a timer won't be executing after
TimerQueue::cancel_timer returns. In the case of multiple processors
this means that we may need to wait while the timer handler finishes
execution on another core.
This also fixes a problem in Thread::block and Thread::wait_on where
theoretically the timer could execute after the function returned
and the Thread disappeared.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
This adds the ability to pass a pointer to kernel thread/process.
Also add the ability to use a closure as thread function, which
allows passing information to a kernel thread more easily.
|
|
Use the TimerQueue to expire blocking operations, which is one less thing
the Scheduler needs to check on every iteration.
Also, add a BlockTimeout class that will automatically handle relative or
absolute timeouts as well as overriding timeouts (e.g. socket timeouts)
more consistently.
Also, rework the TimerQueue class to be able to fire events from
any processor, which requires Timer to be RefCounted. Also allow
creating id-less timers for use by blocking operations.

The time returned by sys$clock_gettime() was not aligned with the delay
calculations in sys$clock_nanosleep(). This patch fixes that by taking
the system's ticks_per_second value into account in both functions.
This patch also removes the need for Thread::sleep_until() and uses
Thread::sleep() for both absolute and relative sleeps.
This was causing the nesalizer emulator port to sleep for a negative
amount of time at the end of each frame, making it run way too fast.

g_scheduler_lock cannot safely be acquired after Thread::m_lock
because another processor may already hold g_scheduler_lock and wait
for the same Thread::m_lock.
|
|
Similar to Process, we need to make Thread refcounted. This will solve
problems that will appear once we schedule threads on more than one
processor. This allows us to hold onto threads without necessarily
holding the scheduler lock for the entire duration.
|
|
We need to dequeue and wake threads that are waiting if the process
terminates.
Fixes #3603 without the HackStudio fixes in #3606.
|
|
The thread joining logic hadn't been updated to account for the subtle
differences introduced by software context switching. This fixes several
race conditions related to thread destruction and joining, as well as
finalization which did not properly account for detached state and the
fact that threads can be joined after termination as long as they're not
detached.
Fixes #3596

There are plenty of places in the kernel that aren't
checking if they actually got their allocation.
This fixes some of them, but definitely not all.
Fixes #3390
Fixes #3391
Also, let's make find_one_free_page() return nullptr
if it doesn't get a free index. This stops the kernel
crashing when out of memory and allows memory purging
to take place again.
Fixes #3487

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.

I decided to modify MappedROM.h because all other entried in Forward.h
are also classes, and this is visually more pleasing.
Other than that, it just doesn't make any difference which way we resolve
the conflicts.
|
|
In c3d231616c1d20309b2b568f383fbcb736887dad we added the atomic variable
m_have_any_unmasked_pending_signals tracking the state of pending signals.
Add helper functions that automatically update this variable as needed.
|
|
We need to wait until a thread is fully set up and ready for running
before attempting to deliver a signal. Otherwise we may not have a
user stack yet.
Also, remove the Skip0SchedulerPasses and Skip1SchedulerPass thread
states that we don't really need anymore with software context switching.
Fixes the kernel crash reported in #3419

The SI prefixes "k", "M", "G" mean "10^3", "10^6", "10^9".
The IEC prefixes "Ki", "Mi", "Gi" mean "2^10", "2^20", "2^30".
Let's use the correct name, at least in code.
Only changes the name of the constants, no other behavior change.

We need to briefly put Stopped threads back into Running state
so that the kernel stacks can get cleaned up when they're being
killed.
Fixes #3130
|
|
We need to always return from Thread::wait_on, even when a thread
is being killed. This is necessary so that the kernel call stack
can clean up and release references held by it. Then, right before
transitioning back to user mode, we check if the thread is
supposed to die, and at that point change the thread state to
Dying to prevent further scheduling of this thread.
This addresses some possible resource leaks similar to #3073

This compiles, and contains exactly the same bugs as before.
The regex 'FIXME: PID/' should reveal all markers that I left behind, including:
- Incomplete conversion
- Issues or things that look fishy
- Actual bugs that will go wrong during runtime
|
|
If a thread is waiting but getting killed, we need to dequeue
the thread from the WaitQueue so that a potential wake before
finalization doesn't happen.
|
|
Allow passing in an optional timeout to Thread::block and move
the timeout check out of Thread::Blocker. This way all Blockers
implicitly support timeouts and don't need to implement it
themselves. Do however allow them to override timeouts (e.g.
for sockets).
|
|
We need to have a Thread lock to protect threading related
operations, such as Thread::m_blocker which is used in
Thread::block.
Also, if a Thread::Blocker indicates that it should be
unblocking immediately, don't actually block the Thread
and instead return immediately in Thread::block.
|

This fixes a regression introduced by the new software context
switching where the Kernel would not deliver a signal unless the
process is making system calls. This is because the TSS no longer
updates the CS value, so the scheduler never considered delivery
as the process always appeared to be in kernel mode. With software
context switching we can just set up the signal trampoline at
any time and when the processor returns back to user mode it'll
get executed. This should fix e.g. killing programs that are
stuck in some tight loop that doesn't make any system calls and
is only pre-empted by the timer interrupt.
Fixes #2958

By making the Process class RefCounted we don't really need
ProcessInspectionHandle anymore. This also fixes some race
conditions where a Process may be deleted while still being
used by ProcFS.
Also make sure to acquire the Process' lock when accessing
regions.
Last but not least, there's no reason why a thread can't be
scheduled while being inspected, though in practice it won't
happen anyway because the scheduler lock is held at the same
time.
|
|
Because Thread::sleep is an internal interface, it's easy to check that there
are only few callers: Process::sys$sleep, usleep, and nanosleep are happy
with this increased size, because now they support the entire range of their
arguments (assuming small-ish values for ticks_per_second()).
SyncTask doesn't care.
Note that the old behavior wasn't "cap out at 388 days", which would have been
reasonable. Instead, the code resulted in unsigned overflow, meaning that a
very long sleep would "on average" end after about 194 days, sometimes much
quicker.
|
|
We now have BlockResult::WokeNormally and BlockResult::NotBlocked,
both of which indicate no error. We can no longer just check for
BlockResult::WokeNormally and assume anything else must be an
interruption.
|
|
The AT_* entries are placed after the environment variables, so that
they can be found by iterating until the end of the envp array, and then
going even further beyond :^)
|
|
If WaitQueue::wake_all, WaitQueue::wake_one, or WaitQueue::wake_n
is called but nobody is currently waiting, we should remember that
fact and prevent someone from waiting after such a request. This
solves a race condition where the Finalizer thread is notified
to finalize a thread, but it is not (yet) waiting on this queue.
Fixes #2693

These changes solve a number of problems with the software
context swithcing:
* The scheduler lock really should be held throughout context switches
* Transitioning from the initial (idle) thread to another needs to
hold the scheduler lock
* Transitioning from a dying thread to another also needs to hold
the scheduler lock
* Dying threads cannot necessarily be finalized if they haven't
switched out of it yet, so flag them as active while a processor
is running it (the Running state may be switched to Dying while
it still is actually running)
|
|
The Lock class still permits no reason, but for everything else
require a reason to be passed to Thread::wait_on. This makes it
easier to diagnose why a Thread is in Queued state.
|
|
If we're trying to walk the stack for another thread, we can
no longer retreive the EBP register from Thread::m_tss. Instead,
we need to look at the top of the kernel stack, because all threads
not currently running were last in kernel mode. Context switches
now always trigger a brief switch to kernel mode, and Thread::m_tss
only is used to save ESP and EIP.
Fixes #2678

When delivering urgent signals to the current thread
we need to check if we should be unblocked, and if not
we need to yield to another process.
We also need to make sure that we suppress context switches
during Process::exec() so that we don't clobber the registers
that it sets up (eip mainly) by a context switch. To be able
to do that we add the concept of a critical section, which are
similar to Process::m_in_irq but different in that they can be
requested at any time. Calls to Scheduler::yield and
Scheduler::donate_to will return instantly without triggering
a context switch, but the processor will then asynchronously
trigger a context switch once the critical section is left.
|
|
Now that we use software context switching, each thread no longer has
its own GDT entry (yay!) so we can get rid of this Thread member. :^)
|
|
This allows us to query the current thread and process on a
per processor basis
|
|
|
|
Moving certain globals into a new Processor structure for
each CPU allows us to eventually run an instance of the
scheduler on each CPU.
|
|
pselect() is similar() to select(), but it takes its timeout
as timespec instead of as timeval, and it takes an additional
sigmask parameter.
Change the sys$select parameters to match pselect() and implement
select() in terms of pselect().
|
|
If these methods get inlined, the compiler is able to statically eliminate most
of the assertions. Alas, it doesn't realize this, and believes inlining them to
be too expensive. So give it a strong hint that it's not the case.
This *decreases* the kernel binary size.
|
|
This change plumbs a new optional timeout option to wait_on.
The timeout is enabled by enqueing a timer on the timer queue
while we are waiting. We can then see if we were woken up or
timed out by checking if we are still on the wait queue or not.

PT_SETTREGS sets the regsiters of the traced thread. It can only be
used when the tracee is stopped.
Also, refactor ptrace.
The implementation was getting long and cluttered the alraedy large
Process.cpp file.
This commit moves the bulk of the implementation to Kernel/Ptrace.cpp,
and factors out peek & poke to separate methods of the Process class.
|
|
Also, start working on the debugger app.
|
|
We were missing the innermost instruction pointer when sampling.
This makes the instruction-level profile info a lot cooler! :^)
|

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.

String.h no longer pulls in StringView.h. We do this by moving a bunch
of String functions out-of-line.
|
|
Use this instead of uintptr_t throughout the codebase. This makes it
possible to pass a FlatPtr to something that has u32 and u64 overloads.
|
|
When stopping a thread with the SIGSTOP signal, we now store the thread
state in Thread::m_stop_state. That state is then restored on SIGCONT.
This fixes an issue where previously-blocked threads would unblock
upon resume. Now they simply resume in the Blocked state, and it's up
to the regular unblocking mechanism to unblock them.
Fixes #1326.
