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.
This change adds a new interface DSL for specifying objects (with
methods) and interfaces (that expose objects, and optionally have their
own methods).
Significant changes:
- Add the new scripts/definitions Python module to parse the DSL
- Add the new definitions directory containing DSL definition files
- Use cog to generate syscall-related code in kernel and libj6
- Unify ordering of pointer + length pairs in interfaces
