This change finally adds capabilities to handles. Included changes:
- j6_handle_t is now again 64 bits, with the highest 8 bits being a type
code, and the next highest 24 bits being the capability mask, so that
programs can check type/caps without calling the kernel.
- The definitions grammar now includes a `capabilities [ ]` section on
objects, to list what capabilities are relevant.
- j6/caps.h is auto-generated from object capability lists
- init_libj6 again sets __handle_self and __handle_sys, this is a bit
of a hack.
- A new syscall, j6_handle_list, will return the list of existing
handles owned by the calling process.
- syscall_verify.cpp.cog now actually checks that the needed
capabilities exist on handles before allowing the call.
This commit contains a couple large, interdependent changes:
- In preparation for capability checking, the _syscall_verify_*
functions now load most handles passed in, and verify that they exist
and are of the correct type. Lists and out-handles are not converted
to objects.
- Also in preparation for capability checking, the internal
representation of handles has changed. j6_handle_t is now 32 bits, and
a new j6_cap_t (also 32 bits) is added. Handles of a process are now a
util::map<j6_handle_t, handle> where handle is a new struct containing
the id, capabilities, and object pointer.
- The kernel object definition DSL gained a few changes to support auto
generating the handle -> object conversion in the _syscall_verify_*
functions, mostly knowing the object type, and an optional "cname"
attribute on objects where their names differ from C++ code.
(Specifically vma/vm_area)
- Kernel object code and other code under kernel/objects is now in a new
obj:: namespace, because fuck you <cstdlib> for putting "system" in
the global namespace. Why even have that header then?
- Kernel object types constructed with the construct_handle helper now
have a creation_caps static member to declare what capabilities a
newly created object's handle should have.
I'm a tabs guy. I like tabs, it's an elegant way to represent
indentation instead of brute-forcing it. But I have to admit that the
world seems to be going towards spaces, and tooling tends not to play
nice with tabs. So here we go, changing the whole repo to spaces since
I'm getting tired of all the inconsistent formatting.
There was previously no good way to block log-display tasks, either the
fb driver or the kernel log task. Now the system object has a signal
(j6_signal_system_has_log) that gets asserted when the log is written
to.
In order to implement capabilities on system resources like IRQs so that
they may be restricted to drivers only, add a new 'system' kobject type,
and move the bind_irq functionality from endpoint to system.
Also fix some stack bugs passing the initial handles to a program.
