Previously the process' m_profiling flag was ignored for all event
types other than CPU samples.
The kfree tracing code relies on temporarily disabling tracing during
exec. This didn't work for per-process profiles and would instead
panic.
This updates the profiling code so that the m_profiling flag isn't
ignored.
Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.
Unlike accept() the new accept4() system call lets the caller specify
flags for the newly accepted socket file descriptor, such as
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK.
By constraining two implementations, the compiler will select the best
fitting one. All this will require is duplicating the implementation and
simplifying for the `void` case.
This constraining also informs both the caller and compiler by passing
the callback parameter types as part of the constraint
(e.g.: `IterationFunction<int>`).
Some `for_each` functions in LibELF only take functions which return
`void`. This is a minimal correctness check, as it removes one way for a
function to incompletely do something.
There seems to be a possible idiom where inside a lambda, a `return;` is
the same as `continue;` in a for-loop.
This change looks more involved than it actually is. This simply
reshuffles the previous Process constructor and splits out the
parts which can fail (resource allocation) into separate methods
which can be called from a factory method. The factory is then
used everywhere instead of the constructor.
Modify the API so it's possible to propagate error on OOM failure.
NonnullOwnPtr<T> is not appropriate for the ThreadTracer::create() API,
so switch to OwnPtr<T>, use adopt_own_if_nonnull() to handle creation.
This patch modifies InodeWatcher to switch to a one watcher, multiple
watches architecture. The following changes have been made:
- The watch_file syscall is removed, and in its place the
create_iwatcher, iwatcher_add_watch and iwatcher_remove_watch calls
have been added.
- InodeWatcher now holds multiple WatchDescriptions for each file that
is being watched.
- The InodeWatcher file descriptor can be read from to receive events on
all watched files.

The current method of emitting performance events requires a bit of
boiler plate at every invocation, as well as having to ignore the
return code which isn't used outside of the perf event syscall. This
change attempts to clean that up by exposing high level API's that
can be used around the code base.
Previously, TLS data was always zero-initialized.
To support initializing the values of TLS data, sys$allocate_tls now
receives a buffer with the desired initial data, and copies it to the
master TLS region of the process.
The DynamicLinker gathers the initial TLS image and passes it to
sys$allocate_tls.
We also now require the size passed to sys$allocate_tls to be
page-aligned, to make things easier. Note that this doesn't waste memory
as the TLS data has to be allocated in separate pages anyway.
This turns the perfcore format into more a log than it was before,
which lets us properly log process, thread and region
creation/destruction. This also makes it unnecessary to dump the
process' regions every time it is scheduled like we did before.
Incidentally this also fixes 'profile -c' because we previously ended
up incorrectly dumping the parent's region map into the profile data.
Log-based mmap support enables profiling shared libraries which
are loaded at runtime, e.g. via dlopen().
This enables profiling both the parent and child process for
programs which use execve(). Previously we'd discard the profiling
data for the old process.
The Profiler tool has been updated to not treat thread IDs as
process IDs anymore. This enables support for processes with more
than one thread. Also, there's a new widget to filter which
process should be displayed.

While profiling all processes the profile buffer lives forever.
Once you have copied the profile to disk, there's no need to keep it
in memory. This syscall surfaces the ability to clear that buffer.
This should allow creating intrusive lists that have smart pointers,
while remaining free (compared to the impl before this commit) when
holding raw pointers :^)
As a sidenote, this also adds a `RawPtr<T>` type, which is just
equivalent to `T*`.
Note that this does not actually use such functionality, but is only
expected to pave the way for #6369, to replace NonnullRefPtrVector<T>
with intrusive lists.
As it is with zero-cost things, this makes the interface a bit less nice
by requiring the type name of what an `IntrusiveListNode` holds (and
optionally its container, if not RawPtr), and also requiring the type of
the container (normally `RawPtr`) on the `IntrusiveList` instance.
The previous architecture had a huge flaw: the pointer to the protected
data was itself unprotected, allowing you to overwrite it at any time.
This patch reorganizes the protected data so it's part of the Process
class itself. (Actually, it's a new ProcessBase helper class.)
We use the first 4 KB of Process objects themselves as the new storage
location for protected data. Then we make Process objects page-aligned
using MAKE_ALIGNED_ALLOCATED.
This allows us to easily turn on/off write-protection for everything in
the ProcessBase portion of Process. :^)
Thanks to @bugaevc for pointing out the flaw! This is still not perfect
but it's an improvement.
Process member variable like m_euid are very valuable targets for
kernel exploits and until now they have been writable at all times.
This patch moves m_euid along with a whole bunch of other members
into a new Process::ProtectedData struct. This struct is remapped
as read-only memory whenever we don't need to write to it.
This means that a kernel write primitive is no longer enough to
overwrite a process's effective UID, you must first unprotect the
protected data where the UID is stored. :^)
This returns ENOSYS if you are running in the real kernel, and some
other result if you are running in UserspaceEmulator.
There are other ways we could check if we're inside an emulator, but
it seemed easier to just ask. :^)
If we can't allocate a PerformanceEventBuffer to store the profiling
events, we now fail sys$profiling_enable() and sys$perf_event()
with ENOMEM instead of carrying on with a broken buffer.
I don't dare touch the multi-threading logic and locking mechanism, so it stays
timespec for now. However, this could and should be changed to AK::Time, and I
bet it will simplify the "increment_time_since_boot()" code.
fuzz-syscalls found a bunch of unaligned accesses into struct sigaction
via this syscall. This patch fixes that issue by porting the syscall
to Userspace<T> which we should have done anyway. :^)
Fixes#5500.
This is basically just for consistency, it's quite strange to see
multiple AK container types next to each other, some with and some
without the namespace prefix - we're 'using AK::Foo;' a lot and should
leverage that. :^)
This was necessary in the past when crash handling would modify
various global things, but all that stuff is long gone so we can
simplify crashes by leaving the interrupt flag alone.
Make more of the kernel compile in 64-bit mode, and make some things
pointer-size-agnostic (by using FlatPtr.)
There's a lot of work to do here before the kernel will even compile.
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
This is a new promise that guards access to mmap() with MAP_FIXED.
Fixed-address mappings are rarely used, but can be useful if you are
trying to groom the process address space for malicious purposes.
None of our programs need this at the moment, as the only user of
MAP_FIXED is DynamicLoader, but the fixed mappings are constructed
before the process has had a chance to pledge anything.
The signal trampoline was previously in kernelspace memory, but with
a special exception to make it user-accessible.
This patch moves it into each process's regular address space so we
can stop supporting user-allowed memory above 0xc0000000.
Add a per-process ptrace lock and use it to prevent ptrace access to a
process after it decides to commit to a new executable in sys$execve().
Fixes#5230.
This patch adds Space, a class representing a process's address space.
- Each Process has a Space.
- The Space owns the PageDirectory and all Regions in the Process.
This allows us to reorganize sys$execve() so that it constructs and
populates a new Space fully before committing to it.
Previously, we would construct the new address space while still
running in the old one, and encountering an error meant we had to do
tedious and error-prone rollback.
Those problems are now gone, replaced by what's hopefully a set of much
smaller problems and missing cleanups. :^)
This patch adds sys$msyscall() which is loosely based on an OpenBSD
mechanism for preventing syscalls from non-blessed memory regions.
It works similarly to pledge and unveil, you can call it as many
times as you like, and when you're finished, you call it with a null
pointer and it will stop accepting new regions from then on.
If a syscall later happens and doesn't originate from one of the
previously blessed regions, the kernel will simply crash the process.
This prevents sys$mmap() and sys$mprotect() from creating executable
memory mappings in pledged programs that don't have this promise.
Note that the dynamic loader runs before pledging happens, so it's
unaffected by this.
This broke with the change that gave each process a list of its own
threads. Since threads are removed slightly earlier from that list
during process teardown, we're not able to use it for generating
coredump backtraces. Fortunately we have the "threads for coredump"
list for just this purpose. :^)
Since each Process now has its own list of threads, we don't need
to treat colonel any different anymore. This also means that it
reports all kernel threads, not just the idle threads.
Rather than walking all Thread instances and putting them into
a vector to be sorted by priority, queue them into priority sorted
linked lists as soon as they become ready to be executed.
Change Thread::current to be a static function and read using the fs
register, which eliminates a window between Processor::current()
returning and calling a function on it, which can trigger preemption
and a move to a different processor, which then causes operating
on the wrong object.
We now move the execpromises state into the regular promises, and clear
the execpromises state.
Also make sure to duplicate the promise state on fork.
This fixes an issue where "su" would launch a shell which immediately
crashed due to not having pledged "stdio".
Let's force callers to provide a VM range when allocating a region.
This makes ENOMEM error handling more visible and removes implicit
VM allocation which felt a bit magical.
This tells the kernel that the process wants to use pledge, but without
pledging anything - effectively restricting it to syscalls that don't
require a certain promise. This is part of OpenBSD's pledge() as well,
which served as basis for Serenity's.
Similar to LibC storing an assertion message before aborting, process
death by pledge violation now sets a "pledge_violation" key with the
respective pledge name as value in its coredump metadata, which the
CrashReporter will then show.
This adds support for FUTEX_WAKE_OP, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET, FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET,
FUTEX_REQUEUE, and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE, as well well as global and private
futex and absolute/relative timeouts against the appropriate clock. This
also changes the implementation so that kernel resources are only used when
a thread is blocked on a futex.
Global futexes are implemented as offsets in VMObjects, so that different
processes can share a futex against the same VMObject despite potentially
being mapped at different virtual addresses.
All users of this mechanism have been switched to anonymous files and
passing file descriptors with sendfd()/recvfd().
Shbufs got us where we are today, but it's time we say good-bye to them
and welcome a much more idiomatic replacement. :^)
The priority boosting mechanism has been broken for a very long time.
Let's remove it from the codebase and we can bring it back the day
someone feels like implementing it in a working way. :^)
Killing remaining threads already happens in Process::die(), but
coredumps are only written in Process::finalize(). We need to keep a
reference to each of those threads to prevent them from being destructed
between those two functions, otherwise coredumps will only ever contain
information about the last remaining thread.
Fixes the underlying problem of #4778, though the UI will need
refinements to not show every thread's backtrace mashed together.
This patch adds a new AnonymousFile class which is a File backed by
an AnonymousVMObject that can only be mmap'ed and nothing else, really.
I'm hoping that this can become a replacement for shbufs. :^)
The vast majority of programs don't ever need to use sys$ptrace(),
and it seems like a high-value system call to prevent a compromised
process from using.
This patch moves sys$ptrace() from the "proc" promise to its own,
new "ptrace" promise and updates the affected apps.
This patch merges the profiling functionality in the kernel with the
performance events mechanism. A profiler sample is now just another
perf event, rather than a dedicated thing.
Since perf events were already per-process, this now makes profiling
per-process as well.
Processes with perf events would already write out a perfcore.PID file
to the current directory on death, but since we may want to profile
a process and then let it continue running, recorded perf events can
now be accessed at any time via /proc/PID/perf_events.
This patch also adds information about process memory regions to the
perfcore JSON format. This removes the need to supply a core dump to
the Profiler app for symbolication, and so the "profiler coredump"
mechanism is removed entirely.
There's still a hard limit of 4MB worth of perf events per process,
so this is by no means a perfect final design, but it's a nice step
forward for both simplicity and stability.
Fixes#4848Fixes#4849
When loading non position-independent programs, we now take care not to
load the dynamic loader at an address that collides with the location
the main program wants to load at.
Fixes#4847.
This will enable us to take the desired load address of non-position
independent programs into account when randomizing the load address
of the dynamic loader.
This patch adds sys$abort() which immediately crashes the process with
SIGABRT. This makes assertion backtraces a lot nicer by removing all
the gunk that otherwise happens between __assertion_failed() and
actually crashing from the SIGABRT.
Commit a3a9016701 removed the PT_INTERP header
from Loader.so which cleaned up some kernel code in execve. Unfortunately
it prevents Loader.so from being run as an executable
Before this change, we would sometimes map a region into the address
space with !is_shared(), and then moments later call set_shared(true).
I found this very confusing while debugging, so this patch makes us pass
the initial shared flag to the Region constructor, ensuring that it's in
the correct state by the time we first map the region.
