The project appears to build just fine without it, and the explicit use
of `LibC` causes it to conflict with the system-wide `fd_set.h` when
building inside of Serenity.
Move the definitions for maximum argument and environment size to
Process.h from execve.cpp. This allows sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) to return
the actual argument maximum of 128 KiB to userspace.
This device will assist userspace to manage hotplug events.
A userspace application reads a DeviceEvent entry until the return value
is zero which indicates no events that are queued and waiting for
processing.
Trying to read with a buffer smaller than sizeof(DeviceEvent) results in
EOVERFLOW.
For now, there's no ioctl mechanism for this device but in the future an
acknowledgement mechanism can be implemented via ioctl(2) interface.
This function is an extended version of `chmod(2)` that lets one control
whether to dereference symlinks, and specify a file descriptor to a
directory that will be used as the base for relative paths.
Add them in `<Kernel/API/Device.h>` and use these to provides
`{makedev,major,minor}` in `<sys/sysmacros.h>`. It aims to be more in
line with other Unix implementations and avoid code duplication in user
land.
Previously, one could put '\b' in a keymap, but in non-Terminal
applications, it would just insert a literal '\b' character instead of
behaving like backspace. This patch modifes
`visible_code_point_to_key_code` to include backspace, as well as
renaming it to `code_point_to_key_code` since '\b' is not a visible
character. Additionally, `KeyboardDevice::key_state_changed` has been
rearranged to apply the user's keymap before checking for things like
caps lock.
This modifies sys$chown to allow specifying whether or not to follow
symlinks and in which directory.
This was then used to implement lchown and fchownat in LibC and LibCore.
Much like the existing in6addr_any global and the IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT
macro, our LibC is also expected to export the in6addr_loopback global
and the IN6ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT constant.
These were found by the stress-ng port.
Most other syscalls pass address arguments as `void*` instead of
`uintptr_t`, so let's do that here too. Besides improving consistency,
this commit makes `strace` correctly pretty-print these arguments in
hex.
This feature was introduced in version 4.17 of the Linux kernel, and
while it's not specified by POSIX, I think it will be a nice addition to
our system.
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE provides a less error-prone alternative to
MAP_FIXED: while regular fixed mappings would cause any intersecting
ranges to be unmapped, MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE returns EEXIST instead. This
ensures that we don't corrupt our process's address space if something
is already at the requested address.
Note that the more portable way to do this is to use regular
MAP_ANONYMOUS, and check afterwards whether the returned address matches
what we wanted. This, however, has a large performance impact on
programs like Wine which try to reserve large portions of the address
space at once, as the non-matching addresses have to be unmapped
separately.
Add the `posix_madvise(..)` LibC implementation that just forwards
to the normal `madvise(..)` implementation.
Also define a few POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED and POSIX_MADV_NORMAL as they
are part of the POSIX API for `posix_madvise(..)`.
This is needed by the `fio` port.
These 2 members are required by POSIX and are also used by some ports.
Zero is a valid value for both of these, so no further work to support
them is required.
The sa_family field in SIOCGIFHWADDR specifies the underlying network
interface's device type, this is hardcoded to generic "Ethernet" right
now, as we don't have a nice way to query it.
Not much to say here, this is an implementation of this call that
accesses the actual limit constant that's used by the VirtualFileSystem
class.
As a side note, this is required for my eventual Qt port.
This fixes at least half of our LibC includes in the kernel. The source
of truth for errno codes and their description strings now lives in
Kernel/API/POSIX/errno.h as an enumeration, which LibC includes.
Now that the userland has a compatiblity wrapper for select(), the
kernel doesn't need to implement this syscall natively. The poll()
interface been around since 1987, any code still using select()
should be slapped silly.
Note: the SerenityOS source tree mostly uses select() and not poll()
despite SerenityOS having support for poll() since early 2019...
This includes a new Thread::Blocker called SignalBlocker which blocks
until a signal of a matching type is pending. The current Blocker
implementation in the Kernel is very complicated, but cleaning it up is
a different yak for a different day.
