This syscall operates on the file descriptor table, and on individual
open file descriptions. Both of those are already protected by scoped
locking mechanisms.
The extra argument to fcntl is a pointer in the case of F_GETLK/F_SETLK
and we were pulling out a u32, leading to pointer truncation on x86_64.
Among other things, this fixes Assistant on x86_64 :^)
Previously we would crash the process immediately when a promise
violation was found during a syscall. This is error prone, as we
don't unwind the stack. This means that in certain cases we can
leak resources, like an OwnPtr / RefPtr tracked on the stack. Or
even leak a lock acquired in a ScopeLockLocker.
To remedy this situation we move the promise violation handling to
the syscall handler, right before we return to user space. This
allows the code to follow the normal unwind path, and grantees
there is no longer any cleanup that needs to occur.
The Process::require_promise() and Process::require_no_promises()
functions were modified to return ErrorOr<void> so we enforce that
the errors are always propagated by the caller.
This change lays the foundation for making the require_promise return
an error hand handling the process abort outside of the syscall
implementations, to avoid cases where we would leak resources.
It also has the advantage that it makes removes a gs pointer read
to look up the current thread, then process for every syscall. We
can instead go through the Process this pointer in most cases.
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.
Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)
Instead of checking it at every call site (to generate EBADF), we make
file_description(fd) return a KResultOr<NonnullRefPtr<FileDescription>>.
This allows us to wrap all the calls in TRY(). :^)
The only place that got a little bit messier from this is sys$mount(),
and there's a whole bunch of things there in need of cleanup.
This has several benefits:
1) We no longer just blindly derefence a null pointer in various places
2) We will get nicer runtime error messages if the current process does
turn out to be null in the call location
3) GCC no longer complains about possible nullptr dereferences when
compiling without KUBSAN
The way the Process::FileDescriptions::allocate() API works today means
that two callers who allocate back to back without associating a
FileDescription with the allocated FD, will receive the same FD and thus
one will stomp over the other.
Naively tracking which FileDescriptions are allocated and moving onto
the next would introduce other bugs however, as now if you "allocate"
a fd and then return early further down the control flow of the syscall
you would leak that fd.
This change modifies this behavior by tracking which descriptions are
allocated and then having an RAII type to "deallocate" the fd if the
association is not setup the end of it's scope.
Advisory locks don't actually prevent other processes from writing to
the file, but they do prevent other processes looking to acquire and
advisory lock on the file.
This implementation currently only adds non-blocking locks, which are
all I need for now.
Before we start disabling acquisition of the big process lock for
specific syscalls, make sure to document and assert that all the
lock is held during all syscalls.
The Process::Handler type has KResultOr<FlatPtr> as its return type.
Using a different return type with an equally-sized template parameter
sort of works but breaks once that condition is no longer true, e.g.
for KResultOr<int> on x86_64.
Ideally the syscall handlers would also take FlatPtrs as their args
so we can get rid of the reinterpret_cast for the function pointer
but I didn't quite feel like cleaning that up as well.

This is something I've been meaning to do for a long time, and here we
finally go. This patch moves all sys$foo functions out of Process.cpp
and into files in Kernel/Syscalls/.
It's not exactly one syscall per file (although it could be, but I got
a bit tired of the repetitive work here..)
This makes hacking on individual syscalls a lot less painful since you
don't have to rebuild nearly as much code every time. I'm also hopeful
that this makes it easier to understand individual syscalls. :^)
