sys$fork() already takes care of children inheriting the parent's root
directory, so there was no need to do the same thing when creating a
new user process.
Add a per-process ptrace lock and use it to prevent ptrace access to a
process after it decides to commit to a new executable in sys$execve().
Fixes#5230.
This patch adds Space, a class representing a process's address space.
- Each Process has a Space.
- The Space owns the PageDirectory and all Regions in the Process.
This allows us to reorganize sys$execve() so that it constructs and
populates a new Space fully before committing to it.
Previously, we would construct the new address space while still
running in the old one, and encountering an error meant we had to do
tedious and error-prone rollback.
Those problems are now gone, replaced by what's hopefully a set of much
smaller problems and missing cleanups. :^)
Wrap thread creation in a Thread::try_create() helper that first
allocates a kernel stack region. If that allocation fails, we propagate
an ENOMEM error to the caller.
This avoids the situation where a thread is half-constructed, without a
valid kernel stack, and avoids having to do messy cleanup in that case.
We now build the kernel with partial UBSAN support.
The following -fsanitize sub-options are enabled:
* nonnull-attribute
* bool
If the kernel detects UB at runtime, it will now print a debug message
with a stack trace. This is very cool! I'm leaving it on by default for
now, but we'll probably have to re-evaluate this as more options are
enabled and slowdown increases.
This achieves two things:
- Programs can now intentionally perform arbitrary syscalls by calling
syscall(). This allows us to work on things like syscall fuzzing.
- It restricts the ability of userspace to make syscalls to a single
4KB page of code. In order to call the kernel directly, an attacker
must now locate this page and call through it.
Leaking macros across headers is a terrible thing, but I can't think of
a better way of achieving this.
- We need some way of modifying debug macros from CMake to implement
ENABLE_ALL_THE_DEBUG_MACROS.
- We need some way of modifying debug macros in specific source files
because otherwise we need to rebuild too many files.
This was done using the following script:
sed -i -E 's/#cmakedefine01 ([A-Z0-9_]+)/#ifndef \1\n\0\n#endif\n/' AK/Debug.h.in
sed -i -E 's/#cmakedefine01 ([A-Z0-9_]+)/#ifndef \1\n\0\n#endif\n/' Kernel/Debug.h.in
There's no need for this to be generic and support running from an
arbitrary thread context. Perf events are always generated from within
the thread being profiled, so take advantage of that to simplify the
code. Also use Vector capacity to avoid heap allocations.
