Let's not be paying the function call overhead for these tiny ops.
Maybe there's an argument for having fewer gadgets in the kernel but
for now we're actually seeing stac() in profiles so let's put
that above theoretical security issues.
If these methods get inlined, the compiler is able to statically eliminate most
of the assertions. Alas, it doesn't realize this, and believes inlining them to
be too expensive. So give it a strong hint that it's not the case.
This *decreases* the kernel binary size.
Make sure that userspace is always referencing "system" headers in a way
that would build on target :). This means removing the explicit
include_directories of Libraries/LibC in favor of having it export its
headers as SYSTEM. Also remove a redundant include_directories of
Libraries in the 'serenity build' part of the build script. It's already
set at the top.
This causes issues for the Kernel, and for crt0.o. These special cases
are handled individually.
read_block() and write_block() now accept the count (how many bytes to read
or write) and offset (where in the block to start; defaults to 0). Using these
new APIs, we can avoid doing copies between intermediary buffers in a lot more
cases. Hopefully this improves performance or something.
This was a holdover from the old times when each Process had a special
main thread with TID 0. Using it was a total crapshoot since it would
just return whichever thread was first on the process's thread list.
Now that I've removed all uses of it, we don't need it anymore. :^)
Instead of falling back to the suspicious "any_thread()" mechanism,
just fail with ESRCH if you try to kill() a PID that doesn't have a
corresponding TID.
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.
We stopped using gettimeofday() in Core::EventLoop a while back,
in favor of clock_gettime() for monotonic time.
Maintaining an optimization for a syscall we're not using doesn't make
a lot of sense, so let's go back to the old-style sys$gettimeofday().
You can still open files that have sockets attached to them from inside
the kernel via VFS::open() (and in fact, that is what LocalSocket itslef uses),
but trying to do that from userspace using open() will now fail with ENXIO.
This reverts commit 3d342f72a7.
This is causing trouble for macOS users. Also it's painfully slow
compared to using the sudo method. This should definitely not be
the default since it punishes people who have genext2fs installed.
This is very basic and doesn't support many features. Instead
of describing what it *doesn't* support, I'll describe what I
have tested:
1. Public key authentication (password is not supported)
2. Single command execution
3. PTY-less interactive bash shell (/bin/sh doesn't work)
4. Multi-user (i.e you can ssh as 'anon' as well as root)
Step one of moving DesktopServices::open handling out of process. This
makes it easier to do things like read in associations for which program
opens which files or protocols. This gives users the ability to modify
the associations without having to rebuild :^)
It didn't feel right to have a "DHCPClient" in a "Servers" directory.
Rename this to Services to better reflect the type of programs we'll
be putting in there.
