Menus now have a scroll offset (index based, not pixel based) which is
controlled either with the mouse wheel or with the up/down arrow keys.
This finally allows us to browse all of the fonts that @xTibor has made
avilable through his serenity-fontdev project:
https://github.com/xTibor/serenity-fontdev
I'm not completely sure about the up/down arrows. They feel like maybe
they occupy a bit too much vertical space.
Also FIXME: this mechanism probably won't look completely right for
menus that have separators in them.
Fixes#1043.
The userspace locks are very aggressively calling sys$gettid() to find
out which thread ID they have.
Since syscalls are quite heavy, this can get very expensive for some
programs. This patch adds a fast-path for sys$gettid(), which makes it
skip all of the usual syscall validation and just return the thread ID
right away.
This cuts Kernel/Process.cpp compile time by ~18%, from ~29 to ~24 sec.
Before this, we would end up in memcpy() churn hell when a program was
doing repeated write() calls to a file in /tmp.
An even better solution will be to only grow the VM allocation of the
underlying buffer and keep using the same physical pages. This would
eliminate all the memcpy() work.
I've benchmarked this using g++ to compile Kernel/Process.cpp.
With these changes, compilation goes from ~35 sec to ~31 sec. :^)
Instead of restoring CR3 to the current process's paging scope when a
ProcessPagingScope goes out of scope, we now restore exactly whatever
the CR3 value was when we created the ProcessPagingScope.
This fixes breakage in situations where a process ends up with nested
ProcessPagingScopes. This was making profiling very fragile, and with
this change it's now possible to profile g++! :^)
Previously, when deallocating a range of VM, we would sort and merge
the range list. This was quite slow for large processes.
This patch optimizes VM deallocation in the following ways:
- Use binary search instead of linear scan to find the place to insert
the deallocated range.
- Insert at the right place immediately, removing the need to sort.
- Merge the inserted range with any adjacent range(s) in-line instead
of doing a separate merge pass into a list copy.
- Add Traits<Range> to inform Vector that Range objects are trivial
and can be moved using memmove().
I've also added an assertion that deallocated ranges are actually part
of the RangeAllocator's initial address range.
I've benchmarked this using g++ to compile Kernel/Process.cpp.
With these changes, compilation goes from ~41 sec to ~35 sec.
The generic swap() is not able to swap a NonnullRefPtr with itself,
due to its use of a temporary and NonnullRefPtr asserting when trying
to move() from an already move()'d instance.
I noticed this while debugging a crash in backtrace generation.
If a process would crash while temporarily inspecting another process's
address space, the crashing thread would still use the other process's
page tables while handling the crash, causing all kinds of confusion
when trying to walk the stack of the crashing thread.
This will panic the kernel immediately if these functions are misused
so we can catch it and fix the misuse.
This patch fixes a couple of misuses:
- create_signal_trampolines() writes to a user-accessible page
above the 3GB address mark. We should really get rid of this
page but that's a whole other thing.
- CoW faults need to use copy_from_user rather than copy_to_user
since it's the *source* pointer that points to user memory.
- Inode faults need to use memcpy rather than copy_to_user since
we're copying a kernel stack buffer into a quickmapped page.
This should make the copy_to/from_user() functions slightly less useful
for exploitation. Before this, they were essentially just glorified
memcpy() with SMAP disabled. :^)
Technically the bottom 2MB is still identity-mapped for the kernel and
not made available to userspace at all, but for simplicity's sake we
can just ignore that and make "address < 0xc0000000" the canonical
check for user/kernel.
Use an imaginary triangle between the top and bottom of the submenu of a
hovered item to determine whether the mouse is moving towards the
submenu. If it is, we do not update the hovered item. This allows the
submenu to stay open, making for much easier menu navigation.
Closes#1094
Currently the points of a triangle do not need to be initialised in a
certain orientation. Currently, the only real method in the class is
`contains`. However we can continue extending the class if and when we
need more functionality.
Previously, VFS::open() would only use the passed flags for permission checking
purposes, and Process::sys$open() would set them on the created FileDescription
explicitly. Now, they should be set by VFS::open() on any files being opened,
including files that the kernel opens internally.
This also lets us get rid of the explicit check for whether or not the returned
FileDescription was a preopen fd, and in fact, fixes a bug where a read-only
preopen fd without any other flags would be considered freshly opened (due to
O_RDONLY being indistinguishable from 0) and granted a new set of flags.
Kernel processes just do not need them.
This also avoids touching the file (sub)system early in the boot process when
initializing the colonel process.
Right now, permission flags passed to VFS::open() are effectively ignored, but
that is going to change.
* O_RDONLY is 0, but it's still nicer to pass it explicitly
* POSIX says that binding a Unix socket to a symlink shall fail with EADDRINUSE
It's now an error to sys$mmap() a file as writable if it's currently
mapped executable by anyone else.
It's also an error to sys$execve() a file that's currently mapped
writable by anyone else.
This fixes a race condition vulnerability where one program could make
modifications to an executable while another process was in the kernel,
in the middle of exec'ing the same executable.
Test: Kernel/elf-execve-mmap-race.cpp
Given the following situation:
struct Object : public RefCounted<Object> {
RefPtr<Object> parent;
}
NonnullRefPtr<Object> object = get_some_object();
object = *object->parent;
We would previously crash if 'object' was the only strongly referencing
pointer to 'parent'. This happened because NonnullRefPtr would unref
the outgoing pointee before reffing the incoming pointee.
This patch fixes that by implementing NonnullRefPtr assignments using
pointer swaps, just like RefPtr already did.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Tracking the hovered menu item independently from the index of the
currently hovered item is error prone and bad code. Simplify WSMenu by
only tracking the index of the currently hovered item.
Fixes#1092
We were swallowing the keyevent on a Logo key down even if we were not
opening the logo. This is incorrect, and was preventing the
windowswitcher from closing.
We also make the logo button toggle the system menu, as this behaviour
is closer to how you would normally expect this button to work.
Closes#1090
