The WindowServer doesn't use this interface anymore and therefore it's
not used by any userspace application, so let's remove this stale method
to ensure we don't have to bother with it anymore.
The mmap interface was removed when we introduced the DisplayConnector
class, as it was quite unsafe to use and didn't handle switching between
graphical and text modes safely. By using the SharedFramebufferVMObject,
we are able to elegantly coordinate the switch by remapping the attached
mmap'ed-Memory::Region(s) with different mappings, therefore, keeping
WindowServer to think that the mappings it has are still valid, while
they are going to a different physical range until we are back to the
graphical mode (after a switch from text mode).
Most drivers take advantage of the fact that we know where is the actual
framebuffer in physical memory space, the SharedFramebufferVMObject is
created with that information. However, the VirtIO driver is different
in that aspect, because it relies on DMA transactions to show graphics
on the framebuffer, so the SharedFramebufferVMObject is created with
that mindset to support the arbitrary framebuffer location in physical
memory space.
This new type of VMObject will be used to coordinate switching safely
from graphical mode to text mode and vice-versa, by supplying a way to
remap all Regions that were created with this object, so mappings can be
changed according to the given state of system mode. This makes it quite
easy to give applications like WindowServer the feeling of having full
access to the framebuffer device from a DisplayConnector, but still keep
the Kernel in control to be able to safely switch to text console.
We should first enable the VirtualConsole and then enable graphical
mode, to ensure proper display output on the switched-to virtual console
that has been chosen. When de-activating graphical mode, we do the
de-activating first then enable the VirtualConsole to ensure proper text
output on screen.
Keeping the exact details of a dirty rectangle doesn't make any sense
when we just flush the entire screen, so just keep a simple boolean
value to know if the screen needs to be flushed or not.
This change unifies the naming convention for kernel tasks.
The goal of this change is to:
- Make the task names more descriptive, so users can more
easily understand their purpose in System Monitor.
- Unify the naming convention so they are consistent.
For an upcoming change to support interrupts in this driver, this class
has to inherit from IRQHandler. That in turn will make this class
virtual, which will then actually call the destructor of the class. We
don't want this to happen, thus we have to wrap the class in a
AK::NeverDestroyed.
These 2 classes currently contain much code that is x86(_64) specific.
Move them to the architecture specific directory. This also allows for a
simpler implementation for aarch64.
This register can be used to check whether the 4 different types of
interrupts are masked. A different variant can be used to set/clear
specific interrupt bits.
This requires us to add an Interrupts.h file in the Kernel/Arch
directory, which includes the architecture specific files.
The commit also stubs out the functions to be able to compile the
aarch64 Kernel.
This name was misleading, as it wasn't really "getting" anything. It has
hence been renamed to `enumerate_interfaces` to reflect what it's
actually doing.
For the same reason we ignore interfaces without an IP address when
choosing where to send a route, we should also ignore interfaces without
IP addresses when updating the ARP table on incoming packets from
local addresses.
On an interface with a null address, the mask checking would always
result in zero, which resulted in the system updating the ARP table on
almost every incoming packet from any address (private or public).
This patch fixes this behavior by only applying this check to interfaces
with valid addresses and now the ARP table won't get constantly
hammered.
Closes#13713
Including signal.h would cause several ports to fail on build,
because it would end up including AK/Platform.h through these
mcontext headers. This is problematic because AK/Platform.h defines
several macros with very common names, such as `NAKED` (breaks radare2),
and `NO_SANITIZE_ADDRESS` and `ALWAYS_INLINE` (breaks ruby).
As with the previous commit, we put a distinction between filesystems
that require a file description and those which don't, but now in a much
more readable mechanism - all initialization properties as well as the
create static method are grouped to create the FileSystemInitializer
structure. Then when we need to initialize an instance, we iterate over
a table of these structures, checking for matching structure and then
validating the given arguments from userspace against the requirements
to ensure we can create a valid instance of the requested filesystem.
We do this by putting a distinction between two types of filesystems -
the first type is backed in RAM, and includes TmpFS, ProcFS, SysFS,
DevPtsFS and DevTmpFS. Because these filesystems are backed in RAM,
trying to mount them doesn't require source open file description.
The second type is filesystems that are backed by a file, therefore the
userspace program has to open them (hence it has a open file description
on them) and provide the appropriate source open file description.
By putting this distinction, we can early check if the user tried to
mount the second type of filesystems without a valid file description,
and fail with EBADF then.
Otherwise, we can proceed to either mount either type of filesystem,
provided that the fs_type is valid.
Previously the routing table did not store the route flags. This
adds basic support and exposes them in the /proc directory so that a
userspace caller can query the route and identify the type of each
route.
With the update to GCC 12.1.0, the compiler now vectorizes code with
-O2. This causes vector ops to be emitted, which are not supported in
the Kernel. Add the -mgeneral-regs-only flag to force the compiler to
not emit floating-point and SIMD ops.
By default we enable the Kernel Undefined Behavior Sanitizer, which
checks for undefined behavior at runtime. However, sometimes a developer
might want to turn that off, so now there is a easy way to do that.
