The whole concept of Jails was far more complicated than I actually want
it to be, so let's reduce the complexity of how it works from now on.
Please note that we always leaked the attach count of a Jail object in
the fork syscall if it failed midway.
Instead, we should have attach to the jail just before registering the
new Process, so we don't need to worry about unsuccessful Process
creation.
The reduction of complexity in regard to jails means that instead of
relying on jails to provide PID isolation, we could simplify the whole
idea of them to be a simple SetOnce, and let the ProcessList (now called
ScopedProcessList) to be responsible for this type of isolation.
Therefore, we apply the following changes to do so:
- We make the Jail concept no longer a class of its own. Instead, we
simplify the idea of being jailed to a simple ProtectedValues boolean
flag. This means that we no longer check of matching jail pointers
anywhere in the Kernel code.
To set a process as jailed, a new prctl option was added to set a
Kernel SetOnce boolean flag (so it cannot change ever again).
- We provide Process & Thread methods to iterate over process lists.
A process can either iterate on the global process list, or if it's
attached to a scoped process list, then only over that list.
This essentially replaces the need of checking the Jail pointer of a
process when iterating over process lists.
We used to allocate major numbers quite randomly, with no common place
to look them up if needed.
This commit is changing that by placing all major number allocations
under a new C++ namespace, in the API/MajorNumberAllocation.h file.
We also add the foundations of what is needed before we can publish this
information (allocated numbers for block and char devices) to userspace.
These changes are compatible with clang-format 16 and will be mandatory
when we eventually bump clang-format version. So, since there are no
real downsides, let's commit them now.
In a TTY's non-canonical mode, data availability can be configured by
setting VMIN and VTIME to determine the minimum amount of bytes to read
and the timeout between bytes, respectively. Some ports (such as SRB2)
set VMIN to 0 which effectively makes reading a TTY such as stdin a
non-blocking read. We didn't support this, causing ports to hang as soon
as they try to read stdin without any data available.
Add a very duct-tapey implementation for the case where VMIN == 0 by
overwriting the TTY's description's blocking status; 3 FIXMEs are
included to make sure we clean this up some day.
