This allows us to enable Write-Combine on e.g. framebuffers,
significantly improving performance on bare metal.
To keep things simple we right now only use one of up to three bits
(bit 7 in the PTE), which maps to the PA4 entry in the PAT MSR, which
we set to the Write-Combine mode on each CPU at boot time.
InodeWatcher::register_inode was already partially fallible, but the
insertion of the inodes and watch descriptions into their respective
hash maps was not. Note that we cannot simply TRY the insertion into
both, as that could result in an inconsistent state, instead we must
remove the inode from the inode hash map if the insertion into the
watch description hash map failed.
There's no need to perform it this early, and until the MemoryManager
is initialized we have very limited kmalloc capacity, so let's try and
keep anything that's not required to be there out of there.
There was a bug while calculating the next index in submit_sync_sqe
function. Use the NVMeQueue's class variable m_qdepth instead of the
hardcoded IO_QUEUE_SIZE.
Before this commit all consume_until overloads aside from the Predicate
one would consume (and ignore) the stop char/string, while the
Predicate overload would not, in order to keep behaviour consistent,
the other overloads no longer consume the stop char/string as well.
Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
If there's nobody listening for the crash signal, fall back to the
normal crash path where we get some debug output about what happened.
Thanks to Idan for suggesting the fix.
Before this change, our dynamic linker's global constructor handler
relied on the GNU linker implicitly including the content of `.ctors`
section inside `.init_array`. The mold linker does not do this, so
global constructors would fail to be called in the mold-built userland.
There is no point in sticking to `.ctors`, as most other systems already
use the superior `.init_array` scheme. This commit changes the kernel
linker script to not discard this new section, and enables it by default
in our toolchain.
We now have a function to install a (currently default) vector
table, meaning that any exceptions (or interrupts for that matter)
will be caught by the processor and routed to one of the vectors
inside the table.
Instead, try to allocate the DMA buffer before trying to construct the
NVMeQueue. This allows us to fail early if we can't allocate the DMA
buffer before allocating and creating the heavier NVMeQueue object.
These functions used to return booleans which withheld useful
error information for callers. Internally they would suppress
and convert Error objects. We now log or propagate these errors
up the stack.
This device will assist userspace to manage hotplug events.
A userspace application reads a DeviceEvent entry until the return value
is zero which indicates no events that are queued and waiting for
processing.
Trying to read with a buffer smaller than sizeof(DeviceEvent) results in
EOVERFLOW.
For now, there's no ioctl mechanism for this device but in the future an
acknowledgement mechanism can be implemented via ioctl(2) interface.
Apparently there was a wrong calculation result when we sent parameters
from TextModeConsole::clear_vga_row method - and we should stick to the
x, y mechanism of the clear method instead of doing the same calculation
which made it to happen twice actually.
These checks in `sys$execve` could trip up the system whenever you try
to execute an `.so` file. For example, double-clicking `libwasm.so` in
Terminal crashes the kernel.
This changes the program header alignment checks to reflect the same
checks in LibELF, and passes the requested alignment on to
`::try_allocate_range()`.
This was easily done, as the Kernel and Userland don't actually share
any of the APIs exposed by it, so instead the Kernel APIs were moved to
the Kernel, and the Userland APIs stayed in LibKeyboard.
This has multiple advantages:
* The non OOM-fallible String is not longer used for storing the
character map name in the Kernel
* The kernel no longer has to link to the userland LibKeyboard code
* A lot of #ifdef KERNEL cruft can be removed from LibKeyboard
