Fixes #3226

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.

MemoryManager::quickmap_pd and MemoryManager::quickmap_pt can only
be called by one processor at the time anyway, since anything using
these must have the MM lock held. So, no need to inform the other
CPUs to flush their TLBs, we can just flush our own.

- If rdseed is not available, fallback to rdrand.
- If rdrand is not available, block for entropy, or use insecure prng
depending on if user wants fast or good random.

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.
|
|
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().

uintptr_t is 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target platform.
This will help us write pointer size agnostic code so that when the day
comes that we want to do a 64-bit port, we'll be in better shape.

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 not ASLR, but it does de-trivialize exploiting the ELF loader
which would previously always parse executables at 0x01001000 in every
single exec(). I've taken advantage of this multiple times in my own
toy exploits and it's starting to feel cheesy. :^)

The default system is now down to 3 super pages allocated on boot. :^)
|
|
We now use the regular "user" physical pages for on-demand page table
allocations. This was by far the biggest source of super physical page
exhaustion, so that bug should be a thing of the past now. :^)
We still have super pages, but they are barely used. They remain useful
for code that requires memory with a low physical address.
Fixes #1000.

The kernel and its static data structures are no longer identity-mapped
in the bottom 8MB of the address space, but instead move above 3GB.
The first 8MB above 3GB are pseudo-identity-mapped to the bottom 8MB of
the physical address space. But things don't have to stay this way!
Thanks to Jesse who made an earlier attempt at this, it was really easy
to get device drivers working once the page tables were in place! :^)
Fixes #734.

We now can create a cacheable Region, so when map() is called, if a
Region is cacheable then all the virtual memory space being allocated
to it will be marked as not cache disabled.
In addition to that, OS components can create a Region that will be
mapped to a specific physical address by using the appropriate helper
method.

Introduce one more (CPU) indirection layer in the paging code: the page
directory pointer table (PDPT). Each PageDirectory now has 4 separate
PageDirectoryEntry arrays, governing 1 GB of VM each.
A really neat side-effect of this is that we can now share the physical
page containing the >=3GB kernel-only address space metadata between
all processes, instead of lazily cloning it on page faults.
This will give us access to the NX (No eXecute) bit, allowing us to
prevent execution of memory that's not supposed to be executed.

I caught myself wondering what "pdb" stood for, so let's rename this
to something more obvious.

The fault was happening when retrieving a current backtrace for the
SystemServer process.
To generate a backtrace, we go into the paging scope of the process,
meaning we temporarily switch to using its page directory as our own.
Because kernel VM is allocated on demand, it's possible for a process's
mappings above the 3GB mark to be out-of-date. Normally this just gets
fixed up transparently by the page fault handler (which simply copies
the PDE from the canonical MM.kernel_page_directory() into the current
process.)
However, if the current kernel *stack* is in a piece of memory that
the backtraced process lacks up-to-date PDE's for, we still get a page
fault, but are unable to handle it, since the CPU wants to push to the
stack as part of calling the page fault handler. So we're screwed and
it's a triple-fault.
Fix this by always updating the kernel VM mappings before switching
into a paging scope. In practical terms, this is a 1KB memcpy() that
happens when generating a backtrace, or doing exec().

This reverts commit bd33c6627394b2166e1419965dd3b2d2dc0c401f.
This broke the network card drivers, since they depended on kmalloc
addresses being identity-mapped.
|
|
The kernel is now no longer identity mapped to the bottom 8MiB of
memory, and is now mapped at the higher address of `0xc0000000`.
The lower ~1MiB of memory (from GRUB's mmap), however is still
identity mapped to provide an easy way for the kernel to get
physical pages for things such as DMA etc. These could later be
mapped to the higher address too, as I'm not too sure how to
go about doing this elegantly without a lot of address subtractions.
|
|
The L was a leftover from when these were called linear addresses.
|
|
This allows the page fault code to find the owning PageDirectory and
corresponding process for faulting regions.
The mapping is implemented as a global hash map right now, which is
definitely not optimal. We can come up with something better when it
becomes necessary.
|
|
These types can be picked up by including <AK/Types.h>:
* u8, u16, u32, u64 (unsigned)
* i8, i16, i32, i64 (signed)
|
|
Now that it is possible to create non-eternal non-freeable
pages, PageDirectory can do just that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the kernel page directory is inherited by all other page directories,
we should always flush the TLB when it's updated.
|
|
Otherwise we'll start handing out addresses that are very likely already in
use by existing ranges.
|
|
Since we transition to a new PageDirectory on exec(), we need a matching
RangeAllocator to go with the new directory. Instead of juggling this in
Process and MemoryManager, simply attach the RangeAllocator to the
PageDirectory instead.
Fixes #61.
|
|
Also break MemoryManager.{cpp,h} into one file per class.
