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.

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

Move timeout management to the ReadBlocker and WriteBlocker classes.
Also get rid of the specialized ReceiveBlocker since it no longer does
anything that ReadBlocker can't do.
|
|
These ensure that the "to" and "from" pointers have the same type,
and also that we copy the correct number of bytes.

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.

There was a time window between releasing Lock::m_lock and calling into
the lock's WaitQueue where someone else could take m_lock and bring two
threads into a deadlock situation.
Fix this issue by holding Lock::m_lock until interrupts are disabled by
either Thread::wait_on() or WaitQueue::wake_one().

The join_thread() syscall is not supposed to be interruptible by
signals, but it was. And since the process death mechanism piggybacked
on signal interrupts, it was possible to interrupt a pthread_join() by
killing the process that was doing it, leading to confusing due to some
assumptions being made by Thread::finalize() for threads that have a
pending joiner.
This patch fixes the issue by making "interrupted by death" a distinct
block result separate from "interrupted by signal". Then we handle that
state in join_thread() and tidy things up so that thread finalization
doesn't get confused by the pending joiner being gone.

Lazy FPU restore is well known to be vulnerable to timing attacks,
and eager restore is a lot simpler anyway, so let's just do it eagerly.
|
|
Let's also have set_process_boost() for giving all threads in a process
the same boost.
