Prior to this change, both uid_t and gid_t were typedef'ed to `u32`.
This made it easy to use them interchangeably. Let's not allow that.
This patch adds UserID and GroupID using the AK::DistinctNumeric
mechanism we've already been employing for pid_t/ProcessID.
We are not using this for anything and it's just been sitting there
gathering dust for well over a year, so let's stop carrying all this
complexity around for no good reason.
This allows us to 1) let go of the Process when an inode is ref'ing for
ProcFSExposedComponent related reasons, and 2) change our ref/unref
implementation.
Calling error() on KResult is a mistake I made in 7ba991dc37, so
instead of doing that, which triggers an assertion if an error occured,
in Inode::read_entire method with VERIFY(nread <= sizeof(buffer)), we
really should just return the KResult and not to call error() on it.
In case we are about to delete the PID directory, we clear the Process
pointer. If someone still holds a reference to the PID directory (by
opening it), we still need to delete the process, but we can't delete
the directory, so we will keep it alive, but any operation on it will
fail by propogating the error to userspace about that the Process was
deleted and therefore there's no meaning to trying to do operations on
the directory.
Fixes#8576.
Now we use WeakPtrs to break Ref-counting cycle. Also, we call the
prepare_for_deletion method to ensure deleted objects are ready for
deletion. This is necessary to ensure we don't keep dead processes,
which would become zombies.
In addition to that, add some debug prints to aid debug in the future.
It didn't make any sense to hardcode the modified time of all created
inodes with "mepoch", so we should query the procfs "backend" to get
the modified time value.
Since ProcFS is dynamically changed all the time, the modified time
equals to the querying time.
This could be changed if desired, by making the modified_time()
method virtual and overriding it in different procfs-backed objects :)
The new ProcFS design consists of two main parts:
1. The representative ProcFS class, which is derived from the FS class.
The ProcFS and its inodes are much more lean - merely 3 classes to
represent the common type of inodes - regular files, symbolic links and
directories. They're backed by a ProcFSExposedComponent object, which
is responsible for the functional operation behind the scenes.
2. The backend of the ProcFS - the ProcFSComponentsRegistrar class
and all derived classes from the ProcFSExposedComponent class. These
together form the entire backend and handle all the functions you can
expect from the ProcFS.
The ProcFSExposedComponent derived classes split to 3 types in the
manner of lifetime in the kernel:
1. Persistent objects - this category includes all basic objects, like
the root folder, /proc/bus folder, main blob files in the root folders,
etc. These objects are persistent and cannot die ever.
2. Semi-persistent objects - this category includes all PID folders,
and subdirectories to the PID folders. It also includes exposed objects
like the unveil JSON'ed blob. These object are persistent as long as the
the responsible process they represent is still alive.
3. Dynamic objects - this category includes files in the subdirectories
of a PID folder, like /proc/PID/fd/* or /proc/PID/stacks/*. Essentially,
these objects are always created dynamically and when no longer in need
after being used, they're deallocated.
Nevertheless, the new allocated backend objects and inodes try to use
the same InodeIndex if possible - this might change only when a thread
dies and a new thread is born with a new thread stack, or when a file
descriptor is closed and a new one within the same file descriptor
number is opened. This is needed to actually be able to do something
useful with these objects.
The new design assures that many ProcFS instances can be used at once,
with one backend for usage for all instances.
This commit converts naked `new`s to `AK::try_make` and `AK::try_create`
wherever possible. If the called constructor is private, this can not be
done, so we instead now use the standard-defined and compiler-agnostic
`new (nothrow)`.
inode identifiers in ProcFS are encoded in a way that the parent ID is
shifted 12 bits to the left and the PID is shifted by 16 bits. This
means that the rightmost 12 bits are reserved for the file type or the
fd.
Since the to_fd and to_proc_file_type decoders only decoded the
rightmost 8 bits, decoded values would wrap around beyond values of 255,
resulting in a different value compared to what was originally encoded.
Instead of initializing network adapters in init.cpp, let's move that
logic into a separate class to handle this.
Also, it seems like a good idea to shift responsiblity on enumeration
of network adapters after the boot process, so this singleton will take
care of finding the appropriate network adapter when asked to with an
IPv4 address or interface name.
With this change being merged, we simplify the creation logic of
NetworkAdapter derived classes, so we enumerate the PCI bus only once,
searching for driver candidates when doing so, and we let each driver
to test if it is resposible for the specified PCI device.
By constraining two implementations, the compiler will select the best
fitting one. All this will require is duplicating the implementation and
simplifying for the `void` case.
This constraining also informs both the caller and compiler by passing
the callback parameter types as part of the constraint
(e.g.: `IterationFunction<int>`).
Some `for_each` functions in LibELF only take functions which return
`void`. This is a minimal correctness check, as it removes one way for a
function to incompletely do something.
There seems to be a possible idiom where inside a lambda, a `return;` is
the same as `continue;` in a for-loop.
We use a global setting to determine if Caps Lock should be remapped to
Control because we don't care how keyboard events come in, just that they
should be massaged into different scan codes.
The `proc` filesystem is able to manipulate this global variable using
the `sysctl` utility like so:
```
# sysctl caps_lock_to_ctrl=1
```
When using `sysctl` you can enable/disable values by writing to the
ProcFS. Some drift must have occured where writing was failing due to
a missing `set_mtime` call. Whenever one `write`'s a file the modified
time (mtime) will be updated so we need to implement this interface in
ProcFS.
Previously we would return a 0xdeadc0de frame for every kernel frame
in the real kernel stack when an non super-user issued the request.
This isn't useful, and just produces visual clutter in tools which
attempt to symbolize stacks.
While hacking on `sysctl` an issue in ProcFS was making me unable to
read/write from `/proc/sys/XXX`. Some directories in the ProcFS are not
actually backed by a process and need to return `nullptr` so callbacks
get properly set. We now do an explicit check for the parent to ensure
it's one that is PID-based.
