We now have PrivateInodeVMObject and SharedInodeVMObject, corresponding
to MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED respectively.
Note that PrivateInodeVMObject is not used yet.
Add an extra out-parameter to shbuf_get() that receives the size of the
shared buffer. That way we don't need to make a separate syscall to
get the size, which we always did immediately after.
This feels a lot more consistent and Unixy:
create_shared_buffer() => shbuf_create()
share_buffer_with() => shbuf_allow_pid()
share_buffer_globally() => shbuf_allow_all()
get_shared_buffer() => shbuf_get()
release_shared_buffer() => shbuf_release()
seal_shared_buffer() => shbuf_seal()
get_shared_buffer_size() => shbuf_get_size()
Also, "shared_buffer_id" is shortened to "shbuf_id" all around.
set_interrupted_by_death was never called whenever a thread that had
a joiner died, so the joiner remained with the joinee pointer there,
resulting in an assertion fail in JoinBlocker: m_joinee pointed to
a freed task, filled with garbage.
Thread::current->m_joinee may not be valid after the unblock
Properly return the joinee exit value to the joiner thread.
On 32-bit platforms, INT32_MIN == -INT32_MIN, so we can't expect this
to always work:
if (pid < 0)
positive_pid = -pid; // may still be negative!
This happens because the -INT32_MIN expression becomes a long and is
then truncated back to an int.
Fixes#1312.
This allows a process wich has more than 1 thread to call exec, even
from a thread. This kills all the other threads, but it won't wait for
them to finish, just makes sure that they are not in a running/runable
state.
In the case where a thread does exec, the new program PID will be the
thread TID, to keep the PID == TID in the new process.
This introduces a new function inside the Process class,
kill_threads_except_self which is called on exit() too (exit with
multiple threads wasn't properly working either).
Inside the Lock class, there is the need for a new function,
clear_waiters, which removes all the waiters from the
Process::big_lock. This is needed since after a exit/exec, there should
be no other threads waiting for this lock, the threads should be simply
killed. Only queued threads should wait for this lock at this point,
since blocked threads are handled in set_should_die.
Each process has a 1-level lookup cache for fast repeated lookups of
the same VM region (which tends to be the majority of lookups.)
The cache is used by the following syscalls: munmap, madvise, mprotect
and set_mmap_name.
After a succesful exec(), there could be a stale Region* in the lookup
cache, and the new executable was able to manipulate it using a number
of use-after-free code paths.
When committing to a new executable, disown any shared buffers that the
process was previously co-owning.
Otherwise accessing the same shared buffer ID from the new program
would cause the kernel to find a cached (and stale!) reference to the
previous program's VM region corresponding to that shared buffer,
leading to a Region* use-after-free.
Fixes#1270.
Since we're gonna throw away these stacks at the end of exec anyway,
we might as well disable profiling before starting to mess with the
process page tables. One less weird situation to worry about in the
sampling code.
Process teardown is divided into two main stages: finalize and reap.
Finalization happens in the "Finalizer" kernel and runs with interrupts
enabled, allowing destructors to take locks, etc.
Reaping happens either in sys$waitid() or in the scheduler for orphans.
The more work we can do in finalization, the better, since it's fully
pre-emptible and reduces the amount of time the system runs without
interrupts enabled.
Calling shutdown prevents further reads and/or writes on a socket.
We should do a few more things based on the type of socket, but this
initial implementation just puts the basic mechanism in place.
Work towards #428.
If there's not enough space in the output buffer for the whole sockaddr
we now simply truncate the address instead of returning EINVAL.
This patch also makes getpeername() actually return the peer address
rather than the local address.. :^)
According to POSIX, waitid() should fill si_signo and si_pid members
with zeroes if there are no children that have already changed their
state by the time of the call. Let's just fill the whole structure
with zeroes to avoid leaking kernel memory.
sys$waitid() takes an explicit description of whether it's waiting for a single
process with the given PID, all of the children, a group, etc., and returns its
info as a siginfo_t.
It also doesn't automatically imply WEXITED, which clears up the confusion in
the kernel.
This patch introduces sys$perf_event() with two event types:
- PERF_EVENT_MALLOC
- PERF_EVENT_FREE
After the first call to sys$perf_event(), a process will begin keeping
these events in a buffer. When the process dies, that buffer will be
written out to "perfcore" in the current directory unless that filename
is already taken.
This is probably not the best way to do this, but it's a start and will
make it possible to start doing memory allocation profiling. :^)
