Since the CPU already does almost all necessary validation steps
for us, we don't really need to attempt to do this. Doing it
ourselves doesn't really work very reliably, because we'd have to
account for other processors modifying virtual memory, and we'd
have to account for e.g. pages not being able to be allocated
due to insufficient resources.
So change the copy_to/from_user (and associated helper functions)
to use the new safe_memcpy, which will return whether it succeeded
or not. The only manual validation step needed (which the CPU
can't perform for us) is making sure the pointers provided by user
mode aren't pointing to kernel mappings.
To make it easier to read/write from/to either kernel or user mode
data add the UserOrKernelBuffer helper class, which will internally
either use copy_from/to_user or directly memcpy, or pass the data
through directly using a temporary buffer on the stack.
Last but not least we need to keep syscall params trivial as we
need to copy them from/to user mode using copy_from/to_user.
Since "rings" typically refer to code execution and user processes
can also execute in ring 0, rename these functions to more accurately
describe what they mean: kernel processes and user processes.
This does not add any behaviour change to the processes, but it ties a
TTY to an active process group via TIOCSPGRP, and returns the TTY to the
kernel when all processes in the process group die.
Also makes the TTY keep a link to the original controlling process' parent (for
SIGCHLD) instead of the process itself.
This fixes a bunch of unchecked kernel reads and writes, seems like they
would might exploitable :). Write of sockaddr_in size to any address you
please...
Note that the data member is of type ImmutableBufferArgument, which has
no Userspace<T> usage. I left it alone for now, to be fixed in a future
change holistically for all usages.
This is racy in userspace and non-racy in kernelspace so let's keep
it in kernelspace.
The behavior change where CLOEXEC is preserved when dup2() is called
with (old_fd == new_fd) was good though, let's keep that.
Userspace<void*> is a bit strange here, as it would appear to the
user that we intend to de-refrence the pointer in kernel mode.
However I think it does a good join of illustrating that we are
treating the void* as a value type, instead of a pointer type.
This compiles, and fixes two bugs:
- setpgid() confusion (see previous commit)
- tcsetpgrp() now allows to set a non-empty process group even if
the group leader has already died. This makes Serenity slightly
more POSIX-compatible.
This compiles, and contains exactly the same bugs as before.
The regex 'FIXME: PID/' should reveal all markers that I left behind, including:
- Incomplete conversion
- Issues or things that look fishy
- Actual bugs that will go wrong during runtime
The way getsockopt is implemented for socket types requires us to push
down Userspace<T> using into those interfaces. This change does so, and
utilizes proper copy implementations instead of the kind of haphazard
pointer dereferencing that was occurring there before.
This change mostly converts poll to Userspace<T> with the caveat
of the fds member of SC_poll_params. It's current usage is a bit
too gnarly for me to take on right now, this appears to need a lot
more love.
In addition to enlightening the syscall to use Userspace<T>, I've
also re-worked most of the handling to use validate_read_and_copy
instead of just directly de-referencing the user pointer. We also
appeared to be missing a re-evaluation of the fds array after the
thread block is awoken.
Utilizie Userspace<T> for the syscall argument itself, as well
as internally in the SC_futex_params struct.
We were double validating the SC_futex_params.timeout validation,
that was removed as well.
- Remove goofy _r suffix from syscall names.
- Don't take a signed buffer size.
- Use Userspace<T>.
- Make TTY::tty_name() return a String instead of a StringView.
This syscall allows a parent process to disown a child process, setting
its parent PID to 0.
Unparented processes are automatically reaped by the kernel upon exit,
and no sys$waitid() is required. This will make it much nicer to do
spawn-and-forget which is common in the GUI environment.
By making the Process class RefCounted we don't really need
ProcessInspectionHandle anymore. This also fixes some race
conditions where a Process may be deleted while still being
used by ProcFS.
Also make sure to acquire the Process' lock when accessing
regions.
Last but not least, there's no reason why a thread can't be
scheduled while being inspected, though in practice it won't
happen anyway because the scheduler lock is held at the same
time.
Note: I switched from copying the single element out of the sched_param
struct, to copy struct it self as it is identical in functionality.
This way the types match up nicer with the Userpace<T> api's and it
conforms to the conventions used in other syscalls.
Since we already have the type information in the Userspace template,
it was a bit silly to cast manually everywhere. Just add a sufficiently
scary-sounding getter for a typed pointer.
Thanks @alimpfard for pointing out that I was being silly with tossing
out the type.
In the future we may want to make this API non-public as well.
This is something I've been meaning to do for a long time, and here we
finally go. This patch moves all sys$foo functions out of Process.cpp
and into files in Kernel/Syscalls/.
It's not exactly one syscall per file (although it could be, but I got
a bit tired of the repetitive work here..)
This makes hacking on individual syscalls a lot less painful since you
don't have to rebuild nearly as much code every time. I'm also hopeful
that this makes it easier to understand individual syscalls. :^)
For now, only the non-standard _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF and
_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN are implemented.
Use them to make ninja pick a better default -j value.
While here, make the ninja package script not fail if
no other port has been built yet.
The AT_* entries are placed after the environment variables, so that
they can be found by iterating until the end of the envp array, and then
going even further beyond :^)
When delivering urgent signals to the current thread
we need to check if we should be unblocked, and if not
we need to yield to another process.
We also need to make sure that we suppress context switches
during Process::exec() so that we don't clobber the registers
that it sets up (eip mainly) by a context switch. To be able
to do that we add the concept of a critical section, which are
similar to Process::m_in_irq but different in that they can be
requested at any time. Calls to Scheduler::yield and
Scheduler::donate_to will return instantly without triggering
a context switch, but the processor will then asynchronously
trigger a context switch once the critical section is left.
These new syscalls allow you to send and receive file descriptors over
a local domain socket. This will enable various privilege separation
techniques and other good stuff. :^)
ppoll() is similar() to poll(), but it takes its timeout
as timespec instead of as int, and it takes an additional
sigmask parameter.
Change the sys$poll parameters to match ppoll() and implement
poll() in terms of ppoll().
It looks like they're considered a bad idea, so let's not add
them before we need them. I figured it's good to have them in
git history if we ever do need them though, hence the add/remove
dance.
Add seteuid()/setegid() under _POSIX_SAVED_IDS semantics,
which also requires adding suid and sgid to Process, and
changing setuid()/setgid() to honor these semantics.
The exact semantics aren't specified by POSIX and differ
between different Unix implementations. This patch makes
serenity follow FreeBSD. The 2002 USENIX paper
"Setuid Demystified" explains the differences well.
In addition to seteuid() and setegid() this also adds
setreuid()/setregid() and setresuid()/setresgid(), and
the accessors getresuid()/getresgid().
Also reorder uid/euid functions so that they are the
same order everywhere (namely, the order that
geteuid()/getuid() already have).
You now have to pledge "sigaction" to change signal handlers/dispositions. This
is to prevent malicious code from messing with assertions (and segmentation
faults), which are normally expected to instantly terminate the process but can
do other things if you change signal disposition for them.
This was a holdover from the old times when each Process had a special
main thread with TID 0. Using it was a total crapshoot since it would
just return whichever thread was first on the process's thread list.
Now that I've removed all uses of it, we don't need it anymore. :^)
Instead of falling back to the suspicious "any_thread()" mechanism,
just fail with ESRCH if you try to kill() a PID that doesn't have a
corresponding TID.
This was supposed to be the foundation for some kind of pre-kernel
environment, but nobody is working on it right now, so let's move
everything back into the kernel and remove all the confusion.
We stopped using gettimeofday() in Core::EventLoop a while back,
in favor of clock_gettime() for monotonic time.
Maintaining an optimization for a syscall we're not using doesn't make
a lot of sense, so let's go back to the old-style sys$gettimeofday().
Ultimately we should not panic just because we can't fully commit a VM
region (by populating it with physical pages.)
This patch handles some of the situations where commit() can fail.
This patch adds PageFaultResponse::OutOfMemory which informs the fault
handler that we were unable to allocate a necessary physical page and
cannot continue.
In response to this, the kernel will crash the current process. Because
we are OOM, we can't symbolicate the crash like we normally would
(since the ELF symbolication code needs to allocate), so we also
communicate to Process::crash() that we're out of memory.
Now we can survive "allocate 300 MB" (only the allocate process dies.)
This is definitely not perfect and can easily end up killing a random
innocent other process who happened to allocate one page at the wrong
time, but it's a *lot* better than panicking on OOM. :^)
This is a special case that was previously not implemented.
The idea is that you can dispatch a signal to all other processes
the calling process has access to.
There was some minor refactoring to make the self signal logic
into a function so it could easily be easily re-used from do_killall.
Previously, when returning from a pthread's start_routine, we would
segfault. Now we instead implicitly call pthread_exit as specified in
the standard.
pthread_create now creates a thread running the new
pthread_create_helper, which properly manages the calling and exiting
of the start_routine supplied to pthread_create. To accomplish this,
the thread's stack initialization has been moved out of
sys$create_thread and into the userspace function create_thread.
PT_SETTREGS sets the regsiters of the traced thread. It can only be
used when the tracee is stopped.
Also, refactor ptrace.
The implementation was getting long and cluttered the alraedy large
Process.cpp file.
This commit moves the bulk of the implementation to Kernel/Ptrace.cpp,
and factors out peek & poke to separate methods of the Process class.
This patch adds the minherit() syscall originally invented by OpenBSD.
Only the MAP_INHERIT_ZERO mode is supported for now. If set on an mmap
region, that region will be zeroed out on fork().
This commit adds a basic implementation of
the ptrace syscall, which allows one process
(the tracer) to control another process (the tracee).
While a process is being traced, it is stopped whenever a signal is
received (other than SIGCONT).
The tracer can start tracing another thread with PT_ATTACH,
which causes the tracee to stop.
From there, the tracer can use PT_CONTINUE
to continue the execution of the tracee,
or use other request codes (which haven't been implemented yet)
to modify the state of the tracee.
Additional request codes are PT_SYSCALL, which causes the tracee to
continue exection but stop at the next entry or exit from a syscall,
and PT_GETREGS which fethces the last saved register set of the tracee
(can be used to inspect syscall arguments and return value).
A special request code is PT_TRACE_ME, which is issued by the tracee
and causes it to stop when it calls execve and wait for the
tracer to attach.
This was only used by the mechanism for mapping executables into each
process's own address space. Now that we remap executables on demand
when needed for symbolication, this can go away.
Previously we would map the entire executable of a program in its own
address space (but make it unavailable to userspace code.)
This patch removes that and changes the symbolication code to remap
the executable on demand (and into the kernel's own address space
instead of the process address space.)
This opens up a couple of further simplifications that will follow.
Add an extra out-parameter to shbuf_get() that receives the size of the
shared buffer. That way we don't need to make a separate syscall to
get the size, which we always did immediately after.
This feels a lot more consistent and Unixy:
create_shared_buffer() => shbuf_create()
share_buffer_with() => shbuf_allow_pid()
share_buffer_globally() => shbuf_allow_all()
get_shared_buffer() => shbuf_get()
release_shared_buffer() => shbuf_release()
seal_shared_buffer() => shbuf_seal()
get_shared_buffer_size() => shbuf_get_size()
Also, "shared_buffer_id" is shortened to "shbuf_id" all around.
This allows a process wich has more than 1 thread to call exec, even
from a thread. This kills all the other threads, but it won't wait for
them to finish, just makes sure that they are not in a running/runable
state.
In the case where a thread does exec, the new program PID will be the
thread TID, to keep the PID == TID in the new process.
This introduces a new function inside the Process class,
kill_threads_except_self which is called on exit() too (exit with
multiple threads wasn't properly working either).
Inside the Lock class, there is the need for a new function,
clear_waiters, which removes all the waiters from the
Process::big_lock. This is needed since after a exit/exec, there should
be no other threads waiting for this lock, the threads should be simply
killed. Only queued threads should wait for this lock at this point,
since blocked threads are handled in set_should_die.
Replace Process::m_being_inspected with an inspector reference count.
This prevents an assertion from firing when inspecting the same process
in /proc from multiple processes at the same time.
It was trivially reproducible by opening multiple FileManagers.
This mechanism wasn't actually used to create any WeakPtr<Process>.
Such pointers would be pretty hard to work with anyway, due to the
multi-step destruction ritual of Process.
Calling shutdown prevents further reads and/or writes on a socket.
We should do a few more things based on the type of socket, but this
initial implementation just puts the basic mechanism in place.
Work towards #428.
sys$waitid() takes an explicit description of whether it's waiting for a single
process with the given PID, all of the children, a group, etc., and returns its
info as a siginfo_t.
It also doesn't automatically imply WEXITED, which clears up the confusion in
the kernel.
This patch introduces sys$perf_event() with two event types:
- PERF_EVENT_MALLOC
- PERF_EVENT_FREE
After the first call to sys$perf_event(), a process will begin keeping
these events in a buffer. When the process dies, that buffer will be
written out to "perfcore" in the current directory unless that filename
is already taken.
This is probably not the best way to do this, but it's a start and will
make it possible to start doing memory allocation profiling. :^)
When using dbg() in the kernel, the output is automatically prefixed
with [Process(PID:TID)]. This makes it a lot easier to understand which
thread is generating the output.
This patch also cleans up some common logging messages and removes the
now-unnecessary "dbg() << *current << ..." pattern.
This syscall is a complement to pledge() and adds the same sort of
incremental relinquishing of capabilities for filesystem access.
The first call to unveil() will "drop a veil" on the process, and from
now on, only unveiled parts of the filesystem are visible to it.
Each call to unveil() specifies a path to either a directory or a file
along with permissions for that path. The permissions are a combination
of the following:
- r: Read access (like the "rpath" promise)
- w: Write access (like the "wpath" promise)
- x: Execute access
- c: Create/remove access (like the "cpath" promise)
Attempts to open a path that has not been unveiled with fail with
ENOENT. If the unveiled path lacks sufficient permissions, it will fail
with EACCES.
Like pledge(), subsequent calls to unveil() with the same path can only
remove permissions, not add them.
Once you call unveil(nullptr, nullptr), the veil is locked, and it's no
longer possible to unveil any more paths for the process, ever.
This concept comes from OpenBSD, and their implementation does various
things differently, I'm sure. This is just a first implementation for
SerenityOS, and we'll keep improving on it as we go. :^)
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
