This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
All threads were running with iomapbase=0 in their TSS, which the CPU
interprets as "there's an I/O permission bitmap starting at offset 0
into my TSS".
Because of that, any bits that were 1 inside the TSS would allow the
thread to execute I/O instructions on the port with that bit index.
Fix this by always setting the iomapbase to sizeof(TSS32), and also
setting the TSS descriptor's limit to sizeof(TSS32), effectively making
the I/O permissions bitmap zero-length.
This should make it no longer possible to do I/O from userspace. :^)
This prevents code running outside of kernel mode from using the
following instructions:
* SGDT - Store Global Descriptor Table
* SIDT - Store Interrupt Descriptor Table
* SLDT - Store Local Descriptor Table
* SMSW - Store Machine Status Word
* STR - Store Task Register
There's no need for userspace to be able to use these instructions so
let's just disable them to prevent information leakage.
Add an option "-A", that will run all of the crash types in the crash
program. In this mode, all crash tests are run in a child process so
that the crash program does not crash.
Crash uses the return status of the child process to ascertain whether
the crash happened as expected.
This patch makes it possible to make memory regions non-readable.
This is enforced using the "present" bit in the page tables.
A process that hits an not-present page fault in a non-readable
region will be crashed.
VM regions can now be marked as stack regions, which is then validated
on syscall, and on page fault.
If a thread is caught with its stack pointer pointing into anything
that's *not* a Region with its stack bit set, we'll crash the whole
process with SIGSTKFLT.
Userspace must now allocate custom stacks by using mmap() with the new
MAP_STACK flag. This mechanism was first introduced in OpenBSD, and now
we have it too, yay! :^)
This was a workaround to be able to build on case-insensitive file
systems where it might get confused about <string.h> vs <String.h>.
Let's just not support building that way, so String.h can have an
objectively nicer name. :^)
This patch adds the mprotect() syscall to allow changing the protection
flags for memory regions. We don't do any region splitting/merging yet,
so this only works on whole mmap() regions.
Added a "crash -r" flag to verify that we crash when you attempt to
write to read-only memory. :^)
We'll now try to detect crashes that were due to dereferencing nullptr,
uninitialized malloc() memory, or recently free()'d memory.
It's not perfect but I think it's pretty good. :^)
Also added some color to the most important parts of the crash log,
and added some more modes to /bin/crash for exercising this code.
Fixes#243.
