This program has never lived up to its original idea, and has been
broken for years (property editing, etc). It's also unmaintained and
off-by-default since forever.
At this point, Inspector is more of a maintenance burden than a feature,
so this commit removes it from the system, along with the mechanism in
Core::EventLoop that enables it.
If we decide we want the feature again in the future, it can be
reimplemented better. :^)
Without `-y`, to show the current full year you'd have to specify which
one: `cal 2023`. Adding `-y` makes it possible to see the full current
year without remembering what year we are in.
This option is also stolen from FreeBSD :^)
Additionally, validate args: prevent passing both -3 and -y at the
same time. Passing both `--three-month-mode` and `--year` to `cal`
doesn't make sense. You'd either want the one or the other.
Making it configurable in system settings :^)
The --start-day option can still overwrite this global default.
This change makes it no longer possible to use unveil: as we have
to load the Calendar config file, which might be in a dynamic location.
It's also neccessary to add `cpath` to the pledge, as opening a
nonexistent config file with Core::ConfigFile::open_for_app creates it.
Making all the other parts of the world happier :^)
Add a `--starting-day` (`-s`) option to be compatible with GNU cal,
which has a similar option. The GNU option takes allows passing either
an int or a day name. Let's do something similar using weekdays we
already have in AK/DateConstants.h.
Also add myself to the copyright header, as by now I've modified most of
the lines in this file.
...instead of putting a star `*` next to it. This makes `cal`s output
much prettier, and gets rid of one FIXME. :^)
Don't use the escape sequence from the deleted FIXME - \e[30;47m would
set the background to white and foreground to black - which presumably
wouldn't do much on a light-theme terminal. Instead use \e[7m which sets
the color as "inverted".
Every other cal implementation just highlights the current day instead
of letting you specify a custom one to highlight. It doesn't seem to be
that useful, and is currently broken - no day gets highlighted at all,
because the `target_day` global is never written to.
Moreover, this complicates parsing the arguments. This commit also fixes
parsing a case where just a year is provided to `cal` - for example `cal
2023`.
This is quite useful for userspace applications that can't cope with the
restriction, but it's still useful to impose other non-configurable
restrictions by using jails.
Add a list of system and general keyboard shortcuts as well as a list
of tips and tricks to man7 (Miscellanea). Add links to these in the
Help-index to aid discoverability for new users.
by making them `monospace` in the Help page, and bold in the manual.
This helps to quickly find out where the keyboard controls are in the
manual when skimming its contents.
The LUN.target_id parameter points to a NVMe Namespace which starts from
1 and not 0. Fix the document to reflect the same while addressing a
nvme device in the boot parameters
These symlinks' only purpose was to be copied into the rootfs along with
the rest of Base. Instead of storing symlinks to files that either
don't exist in the Base directory, or point to an absolute path outside
of the serenity folder, move these symlinks into the
build-root-filesystem.sh script.
This subdirectory is meant to hold all constant data related to the
kernel. This means that this data is never meant to updated and is
relevant from system boot to system shutdown.
Move the inodes of "load_base", "cmdline" and "system_mode" to that
directory. All nodes under this new subdirectory are generated during
boot, and therefore don't require calling kmalloc each time we need to
read them. Locking is also not necessary, because these nodes and their
data are completely static once being generated.
The patch also contains modifications on several classes, functions or
files that are related to the `JPGLoader`.
Renaming include:
- JPGLoader{.h, .cpp}
- JPGImageDecoderPlugin
- JPGLoadingContext
- JPG_DEBUG
- decode_jpg
- FuzzJPGLoader.cpp
- Few string literals or texts

I just got bit by this type of bug in a different project, and was
wondering whether Serenity has this problem, too. See also:

This filesystem is based on the code of the long-lived TmpFS. It differs
from that filesystem in one keypoint - its root inode doesn't have a
sticky bit on it.
Therefore, we mount it on /dev, to ensure only root can modify files on
that directory. In addition to that, /tmp is mounted directly in the
SystemServer main (start) code, so it's no longer specified in the fstab
file. We ensure that /tmp has a sticky bit and has the value 0777 for
root directory permissions, which is certainly a special case when using
RAM-backed (and in general other) filesystems.
Because of these 2 changes, it's no longer needed to maintain the TmpFS
filesystem, hence it's removed (renamed to RAMFS), because the RAMFS
represents the purpose of this filesystem in a much better way - it
relies on being backed by RAM "storage", and therefore it's easy to
conclude it's temporary and volatile, so its content is gone on either
system shutdown or unmounting of the filesystem.
I used this utility to check if the possible TGA images' cases for
different origins (explictly the Y origin) are generating the same
bitmap, as I felt that my eyes are not a good-enough measurement tool
for this kind of task.
This might be useful in the future for testing other implementations so
I rather have this nice utility in our codebase.
We do not want to move POSIX utilities into subsections since they have
standard names, but we can do whatever we want with Applications :^).
This is particularly advantageous as many applications contain several
images, which declutters the man1 directory.
We've had quite some instances of people reintroducing these kinds of
links because they didn't know about the "new" help:// scheme. This
check should now prevent that from happening, though it might in rare
circumstances trigger a false positive.
The setting of scan code set sequence is removed, as it's buggy and
could lead the controller to fail immediately when doing self-test
afterwards. We will restore it when we understand how to do so safely.
Allow the user to determine a preferred detection path with a new kernel
command line argument. The defualt option is to check i8042 presence
with an ACPI check and if necessary - an "aggressive" test to determine
i8042 existence in the system.
Also, keep the i8042 controller pointer on the stack, so don't assign
m_i8042_controller member pointer if it does not exist.
This was a plain-looking test app for debugging mouse events.
Mouse events work now, and if we want mouse testing facilities, they
can be added to MouseSettings instead.
This utility lets a user to figure out what are the dependency libraries
for an ELF dynamic object, whether it's a dynamically loaded executable
or dynamically loaded library.
Check if the process we are currently running is in a jail, and if that
is the case, fail early with the EPERM error code.
Also, as Brian noted, we should also disallow attaching to a jail in
case of already running within a setid executable, as this leaves the
user with false thinking of being secure (because you can't exec new
setid binaries), but the current program is still marked setid, which
means that at the very least we gained permissions while we didn't
expect it, so let's block it.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
This utility essentially creates a filesystem sandbox for a specified
command, so it can be tested with only the unveiled paths the user
specifies beforehand.
The Core::System::create_jail function already provided the new jail
index as a result, so it was just a matter of using it when calling the
LibCore join_jail function to use the new jail.
This happens in two ways:
1. LibCore now has two new methods for creating Jails and attaching
processes to a Jail.
2. We introduce 3 new utilities - lsjails, jail-create and jails-attach,
which list jails, create jails and attach processes to a Jail,
respectively.
Let's put the power_state global node into the /sys/kernel directory,
because that directory represents all global nodes and variables being
related to the Kernel. It's also a mutable node, that is more acceptable
being in the mentioned directory due to the fact that all other files in
the /sys/firmware directory are just firmware blobs and are not mutable
at all.
This flag doesn't conform to any POSIX standard nor is found in any OS
out there. The idea behind this mount flag is to ensure that only
non-regular files will be placed in a filesystem, which includes device
nodes, symbolic links, directories, FIFOs and sockets. Currently, the
only valid case for using this mount flag is for TmpFS instances, where
we want to mount a TmpFS but disallow any kind of regular file and only
allow other types of files on the filesystem.
This option, often used with only a lonely dash, allows to "simulate a
login". For now, it just changes the current directory to the home of
the new user.
Before of this patch, we supported two methods to address a boot device:
1. Specifying root=/dev/hdXY, where X is a-z letter which corresponds to
a boot device, and Y as number from 1 to 16, to indicate the partition
number, which can be omitted to instruct the kernel to use a raw device
rather than a partition on a raw device.
2. Specifying root=PARTUUID: with a GUID string of a GUID partition. In
case of existing storage device with GPT partitions, this is most likely
the safest option to ensure booting from persistent storage.
While option 2 is more advanced and reliable, the first option has 2
caveats:
1. The string prefix "/dev/hd" doesn't mean anything beside a convention
on Linux installations, that was taken into use in Serenity. In Serenity
we don't mount DevTmpFS before we mount the boot device on /, so the
kernel doesn't really access /dev anyway, so this convention is only a
big misleading relic that can easily make the user to assume we access
/dev early on boot.
2. This convention although resemble the simple linux convention, is
quite limited in specifying a correct boot device across hardware setup
changes, so option 2 was recommended to ensure the system is always
bootable.
With these caveats in mind, this commit tries to fix the problem with
adding more addressing options as well as to remove the first option
being mentioned above of addressing.
To sum it up, there are 4 addressing options:
1. Hardware relative address - Each instance of StorageController is
assigned with a index number relative to the type of hardware it handles
which makes it possible to address storage devices with a prefix of the
commandset ("ata" for ATA, "nvme" for NVMe, "ramdisk" for Plain memory),
and then the number for the parent controller relative hardware index,
another number LUN target_id, and a third number for LUN disk_id.
2. LUN address - Similar to the previous option, but instead we rely on
the parent controller absolute index for the first number.
3. Block device major and minor numbers - by specifying the major and
minor numbers, the kernel can simply try to get the corresponding block
device and use it as the boot device.
4. GUID string, in the same fashion like before, so the user use the
"PARTUUID:" string prefix and add the GUID of the GPT partition.
For the new address modes 1 and 2, the user can choose to also specify a
partition out of the selected boot device. To do that, the user needs to
append the semicolon character and then add the string "partX" where X
is to be changed for the partition number. We start counting from 0, and
therefore the first partition number is 0 and not 1 in the kernel boot
argument.
