This is the first of two rather big changes to clean up includes
throughout the project. In this commit, the implicit semi-dependency on
libc that bonnibel adds to every module is removed. Previously, I was
sloppy with includes of libc headers and include directory order. Now,
the freestanding headers from libc are split out into libc_free, and an
implicit real dependency is added onto this module, unless `no_libc` is
set to `True`. The full libc needs to be explicitly specified as a
dependency to be used.
Several things needed to change in order to do this:
- Many places use `memset` or `memcpy` that cannot depend on libc. The
kernel has basic implementations of them itself for this reason. Now
those functions are moved into the lower-level `j6/memutils.h`, and
libc merely references them. Other modules are now free to reference
those functions from libj6 instead.
- The kernel's `assert.h` was renamed kassert.h (matching its `kassert`
function) so that the new `util/assert.h` can use `__has_include` to
detect it and make sure the `assert` macro is usable in libutil code.
- Several implementation header files under `__libj6/` also moved under
the new libc_free.
- A new `include_phase` property has been added to modules for Bonnibel,
which can be "normal" (default) or "late" which uses `-idirafter`
instead of `-I` for includes.
- Since `<utility>` and `<new>` are not freestanding, implementations of
`remove_reference`, `forward`, `move`, and `swap` were added to the
`util` namespace to replace those from `std`, and `util/new.h` was
added to declare `operator new` and `operator delete`.
There was an inverted boolean logic in determining how many consecutive
pages were available.
Also adding some memory debugging tools I added to track down the recent
memory bugs:
- A direct debugcon::write call, for logging to the debugcon without the
possible page faults with the logger.
- A new vm_space::lock call, to make a page not fillable in memory
debugging mode
- A mode in heap_allocator to always alloc new pages, and lock freed
pages to cause page faults for use-after-free bugs.
- Logging in kobject on creation and deletion
- Page table cache structs are now page-sized for easy pointer math
In preparation for futexes, I wanted to make kobjects a bit lighter.
Storing 32 bits of object id, and 8 bits of type (and not ending the
class in a ushort for handle count, which meant all kobjects were likely
to have a bunch of pad bytes), the kobject class data is now just one 8
byte word.
Also from this, change logs that mention threads or processes from
printing the full koid to just 2 bytes of object id from both process
and thread, which makes following the logs much easier.
In preparation for the new mailbox IPC model, blocking threads needed an
overhaul. The `wait_on_*` and `wake_on_*` methods are gone, and the
`block()` and `wake()` calls on threads now pass a value between the
waker and the blocked thread.
As part of this change, the concept of signals on the base kobject class
was removed, along with the queue of blocked threads waiting on any
given object. Signals are now exclusively the domain of the event object
type, and the new wait_queue utility class helps manage waiting threads
when an object does actually need this functionality. In some cases (eg,
logger) an event object is used instead of the lower-level wait_queue.
Since this change has a lot of ramifications, this large commit includes
the following additional changes:
- The j6_object_wait, j6_object_wait_many, and j6_thread_pause syscalls
have been removed.
- The j6_event_clear syscall has been removed - events are "cleared" by
reading them now. A new j6_event_wait syscall has been added to read
events.
- The generic close() method on kobject has been removed.
- The on_no_handles() method on kobject now deletes the object by
default, and needs to be overridden by classes that should not be.
- The j6_system_bind_irq syscall now takes an event handle, as well as a
signal that the IRQ should set on the event. IRQs will cause a waiting
thread to be woken with the appropriate bit set.
- Threads waking due to timeout is simplified to just having a
wake_timeout() accessor that returns a timestamp.
- The new wait_queue uses util::deque, which caused the disovery of two
bugs in the deque implementation: empty deques could still have a
single array allocated and thus return true for empty(), and new
arrays getting allocated were not being zeroed first.
- Exposed a new erase() method on util::map that takes a node pointer
instead of a key, skipping lookup.
Adding the util::deque container, implemented with the util::linked_list
of arrays of items.
Also, use the deque for a kobject's blocked thread list to maintain
order instead of a vector using remove_swap().
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.
Now that kutil has no kernel-specific code in it anymore, it can
actually be linked to by anything, so I'm renaming it 'util'.
Also, I've tried to unify the way that the system libraries from
src/libraries are #included using <> instead of "".
Other small change: util::bip_buffer got a spinlock to guard against
state corruption.
Continuing moving things out of kutil. The assert as implemented could
only ever work in the kernel, so remaining kutil uses of kassert have
been moved to including standard C assert instead.
Along the way, kassert was broken out into panic::panic and kassert,
and the panic.serial namespace was renamed panicking.
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.
Add the object_wait_many syscall to allow programs to wait for signals
on multiple objects at once. Also removed the object argument to
thread::wait_on_signals, which does nothing with it. That information is
saved in the thread being in the object's blocked threads list.
Look up the global constructor list that the linker outputs, and run
them all. Required creation of the `kutil::no_construct` template for
objects that are constructed before the global constructors are run.
Also split the `memory_initialize` function into two - one for just
those objects that need to happen before the global ctors, and one
after.

Many kernel objects had to keep a hold of refrences to allocators in
order to pass them on down the call chain. Remove those explicit
refrences and use `operator new`, `operator delete`, and define new
`kalloc` and `kfree`.
Also remove `slab_allocator` and replace it with a new mixin for slab
allocation, `slab_allocated`, that overrides `operator new` and
`operator free` for its subclass.
Remove some no longer used related headers, `buddy_allocator.h` and
`address_manager.h`
