Expand the following types from 32-bit to 64-bit:
- blkcnt_t
- blksize_t
- dev_t
- nlink_t
- suseconds_t
- clock_t
This matches their size on other 64-bit systems.
This is necessary to support the wayland protocol.
I also moved the CMSG_* macros to the kernel API since they are used in
both kernel and userspace.
this does not break ntpquery/SCM_TIMESTAMP.
Reduce inclusion of limits.h as much as possible at the same time.
This does mean that kmalloc.h is now including Kernel/API/POSIX/limits.h
instead of LibC/limits.h, but the scope could be limited a lot more.
Basically every file in the kernel includes kmalloc.h, and needs the
limits.h include for PAGE_SIZE.
Some programs explicitly ask for a different initial stack size than
what the OS provides. This is implemented in ELF by having a
PT_GNU_STACK header which has its p_memsz set to the amount that the
program requires. This commit implements this policy by reading the
p_memsz of the header and setting the main thread stack size to that.
ELF::Image::validate_program_headers ensures that the size attribute is
a reasonable value.
The priority range was changed several years ago, but the
userland-reported limits were just forgotten :skeleyak:. Move the thread
priority constants into an API header so that userland can use it
properly.
Previously we didn't send the SIGPIPE signal to processes when
sendto()/sendmsg()/etc. returned EPIPE. And now we do.
This also adds support for MSG_NOSIGNAL to suppress the signal.
This flag doesn't conform to any POSIX standard nor is found in any OS
out there. The idea behind this mount flag is to ensure that only
non-regular files will be placed in a filesystem, which includes device
nodes, symbolic links, directories, FIFOs and sockets. Currently, the
only valid case for using this mount flag is for TmpFS instances, where
we want to mount a TmpFS but disallow any kind of regular file and only
allow other types of files on the filesystem.
This remained undetected for a long time as HeaderCheck is disabled by
default. This commit makes the following file compile again:
// file: compile_me.cpp
#include <Kernel/API/POSIX/ucontext.h>
// That's it, this was enough to cause a compilation error.
This patch adds the NGROUPS_MAX constant and enforces it in
sys$setgroups() to ensure that no process has more than 32 supplementary
group IDs.
The number doesn't mean anything in particular, just had to pick a
number. Perhaps one day we'll have a reason to change it.
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.
Previously the system had no concept of assigning different routes for
different destination addresses as the default gateway IP address was
directly assigned to a network adapter. This default gateway was
statically assigned and any update would remove the previously existing
route.
This patch is a beginning step towards implementing #180. It implements
a simple global routing table that is referenced during the routing
process. With this implementation it is now possible for a user or
service (i.e. DHCP) to dynamically add routes to the table.
The routing table will select the most specific route when possible. It
will select any direct match between the destination and routing entry
addresses. If the destination address overlaps between multiple entries,
the Kernel will use the longest prefix match, or the longest number of
matching bits between the destination address and the routing address.
In the event that there is no entries found for a specific destination
address, this implementation supports entries for a default route to be
set for any specified interface.
This is a small first step towards enhancing the system's routing
capabilities. Future enhancements would include referencing a
configuration file at boot to load pre-defined static routes.
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.
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.
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.
