For Kernel OOM hardening to work correctly, we need to be able to
call a "nothrow" version of operator new. Unfortunately the default
"throwing" version of operator new assumes that the allocation will
never return on failure and will always throw an exception. This isn't
true in the Kernel, as we don't have exceptions. So if we call the
normal/throwing new and kmalloc returns NULL, the generated code will
happily go and dereference that NULL pointer by invoking the constructor
before we have a chance to handle the failure.
To fix this we declare operator new as noexcept in the Kernel headers,
which will allow the caller to actually handle allocation failure.
The delete implementations need to match the prototype of the new which
allocated them, so we need define delete as noexcept as well. GCC then
errors out declaring that you should implement sized delete as well, so
this change provides those stubs in order to compile cleanly.
Finally the new operator definitions have been standardized as being
declared with [[nodiscard]] to avoid potential memory leaks. So lets
declares the kernel versions that way as well.
This avoids some of the the shortest-lived allocations in the kernel:
StringImpl::create_uninitialized(unsigned long, char*&)
StringImpl::create(char const*, unsigned long, ShouldChomp)
StringBuilder::to_string() const
String::vformatted(StringView, TypeErasedFormatParams)
void Kernel::KBufferBuilder::appendff<unsigned int>(...)
JsonObjectSerializer<Kernel::KBufferBuilder>::add(..., unsigned int)
Kernel::procfs$all(Kernel::InodeIdentifier, ...) const
Kernel::procfs$all(Kernel::InodeIdentifier, Kernel::KBufferBuilder&)
This avoids allocations for initializing the Function<T>
for the NetworkAdapter::for_each callback argument.
Applying this patch decreases CPU utilization for NetworkTask
from 40% to 28% when receiving TCP packets at a rate of 100Mbit/s.
We already have another limit for the total number of packet buffers
allowed (max_packet_buffers). This second limit caused us to
repeatedly allocate and then free buffers.
This patch adds some rudimentary tests for InodeWatcher. It tests the
basic functionality, but maybe there are corner cases I haven't caught.
Additionally, this is our first LibCore test. :^)
With the new InodeWatcher API, the old style of creating a watcher per
inode will no longer work. Therefore the FileWatcher API has been
updated to support multiple watches, and its users have also been
refactored to the new style. At the moment, all operations done on a
(Blocking)FileWatcher return Result objects, however, this may be
changed in the future if it becomes too obnoxious. :^)

This patch modifies InodeWatcher to switch to a one watcher, multiple
watches architecture. The following changes have been made:
- The watch_file syscall is removed, and in its place the
create_iwatcher, iwatcher_add_watch and iwatcher_remove_watch calls
have been added.
- InodeWatcher now holds multiple WatchDescriptions for each file that
is being watched.
- The InodeWatcher file descriptor can be read from to receive events on
all watched files.

This patch adds two new methods to LexicalPath. LexicalPath::append
appends a new path component to a LexicalPath, and LexicalPath::join
constructs a new LexicalPath from one or more components.

If the HPET main counter does not support full 64 bits, we should
not expect the upper 32 bit to work. This is a problem when writing
to the upper 32 bit of the comparator value, which requires the
TimerConfiguration::ValueSet bit to be set, but if it's not 64 bit
capable then the bit will not be cleared and leave it in a bad state.
Fixes#6990
The logic that figures out which (if any) action should be activated
by a keydown event was getting a bit unwieldy. This patch moves it to
a separate helper function.
Not sure why some menus did have one and others didn't, even in the
same application - now they all do. :^)
I added character shortcuts to some menu actions as well.
Seeing " - Browser" for loading pages is annoying, so let's do something
more sensible instead for empty tab document titles: "<URL> - Browser".
Also consolidate the two places where this code is used into a lambda to
make any future changes easier.
This matches what other operating systems like Linux do:
$ ip route get 0.0.0.0
local 0.0.0.0 dev lo src 127.0.0.1 uid 1000
cache <local>
$ ssh 0.0.0.0
gunnar@0.0.0.0's password:
$ ss -na | grep :22 | grep ESTAB
tcp ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:43118 127.0.0.1:22
tcp ESTAB 0 0 127.0.0.1:22 127.0.0.1:43118
When we receive a TCP packet with a sequence number that is not what
we expected we have lost one or more packets. We can signal this to
the sender by sending a TCP ACK with the previous ack number so that
they can resend the missing TCP fragments.
Previously we'd process TCP packets in whatever order we received
them in. In the case where packets arrived out of order we'd end
up passing garbage to the userspace process.
This was most evident for TLS connections:

When the MSS option header is missing the default maximum segment
size is 536 which results in lots of very small TCP packets that
NetworkTask has to handle.
This adds the MSS option header to outbound TCP SYN packets and
sets it to an appropriate value depending on the interface's MTU.
Note that we do not currently do path MTU discovery so this could
cause problems when hops don't fragment packets properly.
This increases the default TCP window size to a more reasonable
value of 64k. This allows TCP peers to send us more packets before
waiting for corresponding ACKs.
This increases the buffer size for connection-oriented sockets
to 256kB. In combination with the other patches in this series
I was able to receive TCP packets at a rate of about 120Mbps.
The get_dir_entries syscall failed if the serialized form of all the
directory entries together was too large to fit in its temporary buffer.
Now the kernel uses a fixed size buffer, that is flushed to an output
buffer when it is full. If this flushing operation fails because there
is not enough space available, the syscall will return -EINVAL. That
error code is then used in userspace as a signal to allocate a larger
buffer and retry the syscall.
Previously they were positioned with a fixed offset. However this lead
to wider markers with more than one character to collide with the
element itself.
Now the ListItemMarkerBox generates and stores the appropriate String
in its constructor and sets its own width according to that.
The ListItemBox then lays out the Marker taking this width into
account.
This also made the painting a lot easier since we don't generate the
needed Strings every time we repaint, just once.
Why exactly the linter didn't whine about this is a mystery. These
constants aren't needed anymore since the functionality moved to
AK/String a while ago.
When computing the y-position of a clearing element, use the height of
the border box of the associated floating elements.
This also extracts this block of code to a helper lambda since it is
used twice.
If you're on the new toolchain with std support already
you'd be unable to build libicu because <cmath> #undefs
some of the defines from <math.h> (e.g. isfinite).
