Ben Wiederhake 28e1da344d Kernel: Demonstrate race condition in clock_nanosleep
This adds a test for the race condition in clock_nanosleep.
The crux is that clock_nanosleep verifies that the output buffer
is writable *before* sleeping, and writes to it *after* sleeping.
In the meantime, a concurrent thread can make the output buffer
unwritable, e.g. by deallocating it.

This testcase is needlessly complex because pthread_kill is
not implemented yet.  I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Here is the relevant part of dmesg:
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(22:22)]: Unblock nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20) due to signal
nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20) Unrecoverable page fault, write to address 0x02130016
CRASH: Page Fault. Process: nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20)
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc01160ff  memcpy +44
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc014de64  Kernel::Process::crash(int, unsigned int) +782
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc01191b5  illegal_instruction_handler +0
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc011965b  page_fault_handler +649
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc0117233  page_fault_asm_entry +22
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc011616b  copy_to_user +102
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc015911f  Kernel::Process::sys(Kernel::Syscall::SC_clock_nanosleep_params const*) +457
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc015daad  syscall_handler +1130
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0xc015d597  syscall_asm_entry +29
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0x08048437  main +146
[nanosleep-race-outbuf-munmap(20:20)]: 0x08048573  _start +94

Most importantly, note that it crashes *inside*
Kernel::Process::sys.
Instead, the correct behavior is to return -EFAULT.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Travis CI status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
