It makes much more sense to have these actions being performed via the
prctl syscall, as they both require 2 plain arguments to be passed to
the syscall layer, and in contrast to most syscalls, we don't get in
these removed syscalls an automatic representation of Userspace<T>, but
two FlatPtr(s) to perform casting on them in the prctl syscall which is
suited to what has been done in the removed syscalls.
Also, it makes sense to have these actions in the prctl syscall, because
they are strongly related to the process control concept of the prctl
syscall.
Similar to POSIX read, the basic read and write functions of AK::Stream
do not have a lower limit of how much data they read or write (apart
from "none at all").
Rename the functions to "read some [data]" and "write some [data]" (with
"data" being omitted, since everything here is reading and writing data)
to make them sufficiently distinct from the functions that ensure to
use the entire buffer (which should be the go-to function for most
usages).
No functional changes, just a lot of new FIXMEs.
This is not guaranteed to always work correctly as ArgsParser deals in
StringViews and might have a non-properly-null-terminated string as a
value. As a bonus, using StringView (and DeprecatedString where
necessary) leads to nicer looking code too :^)
These instances were detected by searching for files that include
stdlib.h, but don't match the regex:
\\b(_abort|abort|abs|aligned_alloc|arc4random|arc4random_buf|arc4random_

nv|setprogname|srand|srandom|strtod|strtof|strtol|strtold|strtoll|strtou
l|strtoull|system|unlockpt|unsetenv|wcstombs|wctomb)\\b
(Without the linebreaks.)
This regex is pessimistic, so there might be more files that don't
actually use anything from the stdlib.
In theory, one might use LibCPP to detect things like this
automatically, but let's do this one step after another.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Even though this almost certainly wouldn't run properly even if we had
a working kernel for AARCH64 this at least lets us build all the
userland binaries.
After commit 91a03bc6ae we no longer try
to discover files for exec-ing by simply trying to exec on them, but we
check for the files existence by using `Core::file::exists()` first.
Contrary to the old solution, this now requires the `rpath` pledge, so
pledge it to keep `strace` from crashing when using non-absolute paths.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Error::from_string_literal now takes direct char const*s, while
Error::from_string_view does what Error::from_string_literal used to do:
taking StringViews. This change will remove the need to insert `sv`
after error strings when returning string literal errors once
StringView(char const*) is removed.
No functional changes.
This commit moves the length calculations out to be directly on the
StringView users. This is an important step towards the goal of removing
StringView(char const*), as it moves the responsibility of calculating
the size of the string to the user of the StringView (which will prevent
naive uses causing OOB access).
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. :^)
The actual length of the resulting string is encoded in the return
value; treating the entire buffer as a string leads to reading
uninitialized memory.
This feature was introduced in version 4.17 of the Linux kernel, and
while it's not specified by POSIX, I think it will be a nice addition to
our system.
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE provides a less error-prone alternative to
MAP_FIXED: while regular fixed mappings would cause any intersecting
ranges to be unmapped, MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE returns EEXIST instead. This
ensures that we don't corrupt our process's address space if something
is already at the requested address.
Note that the more portable way to do this is to use regular
MAP_ANONYMOUS, and check afterwards whether the returned address matches
what we wanted. This, however, has a large performance impact on
programs like Wine which try to reserve large portions of the address
space at once, as the non-matching addresses have to be unmapped
separately.
In particular, strace can now stomach memory errors while copying
invalid strings.
Example with a valid string:
dbgputstr("95.976 traceme(38:38) Well, Hello Friends!") = 55
Example with an invalid string:
dbgputstr(Error(errno=14){0x00012345, 678b}) = -14 EFAULT
(ANSI escapes removed for readability.)
This necessarily introduces some usages (and benefits!) of the new
ErrorOr<> pattern. To keep commits atomic, I do not yet rewrite the
entire program to use ErrorOr<> correctly.
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
