The flag will automatically initialize all variables to a pattern based
on it's type. The goal being here is to eradicate an entire bug class
of issues that can originate from uninitialized stack memory.
Some examples include:
- Kernel information disclosure, where uninitialized struct members
or struct padding is copied back to usermode, leaking kernel
information such as stack or heap addresses, or secret data like
stack cookies.
- Control flow based on uninitialized memory can cause a variety of
issues at runtime, including stack corruptions like buffer
overflows, heap corruptions due to deleting stray pointers.
Even basic logic bugs can result from control flow operating on
uninitialized data.
As of GCC 12 this flag is now supported.

Clang has already supported it for a few releases.

The original heuristic of "a library being in `s_global_objects` means
that it was fully initialized already" doesn't hold up anymore since we
changed the loading order. This was causing us to skip parts of the
initialization of dependency libraries when running dlopen (since it was
the only user of that setting).
Instead, set a flag after we run stage 4 (which is the "run the global
initializers" stage) and check that flag when determining unfinished
dependencies. This entirely replaces the `skip_global_objects` logic.
This removes some old cruft to refactor the hardware buffer-related
datastructures into depending on a single constant, which determines the
number of samples per hardware buffer that the audio server mixes. This
is set to 1024 as before, so there are no functional changes.
When the size of the audio data was not a multiple of a page size,
subtracting the page size from this unsigned variable would underflow it
close to 2^32 and be clamped to the page size again. This would lead to
writes into garbage addresses because of an incorrect write size,
interestingly only causing the write() call to error out.
Using saturating math neatly fixes this problem and allows buffer
lengths that are not a multiple of a page size.
This prevents font-face rules without a block statement from crashing
LibWeb during CSS parsing.
The issue was discovered by Lubrsi during CSS parser fuzzing. :)
Fixes#14141.
This commit adds support for using all your favorite border radii with
box-shadow, that is elliptical, circular, rounded rectangle etc. :^)
There is some work needed to make this more performant. The larger
your border radius is the larger the corner bitmap needs to be,
which means more time spent in FastBoxBlurFilter. There are probably
some tricks to bring this down.
Fixes#14325
Usually the values of the previous and next pointers of deleted buckets
are never used, as they're not part of the main ordered bucket chain,
but if an in-place rehashing is done, which results in the bucket being
turned into a free bucket, the stale pointers will remain, at which
point any item that is inserted into said free-bucket will have either
a stale previous pointer if the HashTable was empty on insertion, or a
stale next pointer, resulting in undefined behaviour.
This commit also includes a new HashMap test that reproduces this issue
Previously we would leave artifacts on screen if a change caused the
buffer to span fewer lines than the current buffer.
This commit records the shown line count and uses that instead of trying
to guess the previous line count (and failing most of the time).
