realpath is implemented as a syscall. This is not really required but it
was the easiest way to get it working as there is already path
canonicalization at kernel level.
Now files are installed using the install() command instead of manually
copying files to their destinations. This allows automatic recompilation
of headers that did not work previously
These are pretty much dummy functions in the kernel side. Only case that
is handled is SOL_SOCKET with SO_ERROR. This is hard coded to return no
error. Network stack is currently synchronous, so all errors are already
reported through synchronous network functions.
Inode closing is something that needs a complete rework. Currently all
sockets are closed when close() is called, which leads to connection
closing if you fork()/exec() with socket being marked as CLOEXEC.
Inodes should probably only be closed once they are not referenced
anywhere.
When a unix domain socket is closed and it has a connection to another
socket, it will make the other socket readable and recv will return 0.
This allows detection of socket closing
These can allocate memory that can be shared between processes using
a global key. There is currenly no safety checks meaning anyone can
map any shared memory object just by trying to map every possible key.
When printing early return message, current time was read twice. This
could lead to early return check failing, but when printing and reading
the time again subtraction overflow would happen.
Old StorageDevice::read_sectors() read each sector separately if the
underlying disk had a disk cache. This patch allows multiple sectors to
be read even if the disk cache exists and contains some of the sectors.
Only sectors that could not be found from the disk cache are actually
read from the disk. This optimization is not done for writing, which
still will write each sector separately, if disk cache has no memory to
store new sectors. It would feel kind of unnecessary optimization as you
have greater problems if disk cache cannot allocate a single page.
Only segment 0 is supported, but devices can now be accessed through
mmio.
Adding more segments would require adding argument to every PCI API so
it is left for later.
This fixes a bug where userspace provided address is not fully mapped
and the kernel tries to read/write it while using PageTable fast page.
In the future userspace input should be copied on syscall entry, so
userspace could not modify the input during syscall. Currently there
is change that userspace input passes kernel syscall validation and
after that userspace could modify the input before the value is
actually used.
