Since we take a socket address with an address
type, this allows us to support setting an IPv6
address using an IPv4 socket without a
particularly hacky API. This deviates from Linux's
behavior (see
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/netdevice.7.html
) where AF_INET6 uses a completely different
control structure, but this doesn't seem
necessary.
This requires changing the sockaddr size to fit
sockaddr_in6, as the network ioctl's are the only
place where sockaddr is used with a fixed size
(and not with variable size data like in POSIX
APIs, which would support sockaddr_in6 without
changes).
ifconfig takes a new parameter for setting the
IPv6 address of an interface. The IPv4 address
short option '-i' is removed, as it only yields
confusion (which IP version is the default? and
usually such options are called -4 or -6, if they
exist) and isn't necessary thanks to the brief
long option name.
This commit's main purpose for now is to allow
participating in IPv6 NDP and pings without
requiring SLAC.

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.
The following command was used to clang-format these files:
clang-format-18 -i $(find . \
-not \( -path "./\.*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Base/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Build/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Toolchain/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Ports/*" -prune \) \
-type f -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.mm" -o -name "*.h")
There are a couple of weird cases where clang-format now thinks that a
pointer access in an initializer list, e.g. `m_member(ptr->foo)`, is a
lambda return statement, and it puts spaces around the `->`.
Either we mount from a loop device or other source, the user might want
to obfuscate the given source for security reasons, so this option will
ensure this will happen.
If passed during a mount, the source will be hidden when reading from
the /sys/kernel/df node.
Expand the following types from 32-bit to 64-bit:
- blkcnt_t
- blksize_t
- dev_t
- nlink_t
- suseconds_t
- clock_t
This matches their size on other 64-bit systems.
This is necessary to support the wayland protocol.
I also moved the CMSG_* macros to the kernel API since they are used in
both kernel and userspace.
this does not break ntpquery/SCM_TIMESTAMP.
Reduce inclusion of limits.h as much as possible at the same time.
This does mean that kmalloc.h is now including Kernel/API/POSIX/limits.h
instead of LibC/limits.h, but the scope could be limited a lot more.
Basically every file in the kernel includes kmalloc.h, and needs the
limits.h include for PAGE_SIZE.
Some programs explicitly ask for a different initial stack size than
what the OS provides. This is implemented in ELF by having a
PT_GNU_STACK header which has its p_memsz set to the amount that the
program requires. This commit implements this policy by reading the
p_memsz of the header and setting the main thread stack size to that.
ELF::Image::validate_program_headers ensures that the size attribute is
a reasonable value.
The priority range was changed several years ago, but the
userland-reported limits were just forgotten :skeleyak:. Move the thread
priority constants into an API header so that userland can use it
properly.
Previously we didn't send the SIGPIPE signal to processes when
sendto()/sendmsg()/etc. returned EPIPE. And now we do.
This also adds support for MSG_NOSIGNAL to suppress the signal.
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 remained undetected for a long time as HeaderCheck is disabled by
default. This commit makes the following file compile again:
// file: compile_me.cpp
#include <Kernel/API/POSIX/ucontext.h>
// That's it, this was enough to cause a compilation error.
This patch adds the NGROUPS_MAX constant and enforces it in
sys$setgroups() to ensure that no process has more than 32 supplementary
group IDs.
The number doesn't mean anything in particular, just had to pick a
number. Perhaps one day we'll have a reason to change it.
Previously the routing table did not store the route flags. This
adds basic support and exposes them in the /proc directory so that a
userspace caller can query the route and identify the type of each
route.
Previously the system had no concept of assigning different routes for
different destination addresses as the default gateway IP address was
directly assigned to a network adapter. This default gateway was
statically assigned and any update would remove the previously existing
route.
This patch is a beginning step towards implementing #180. It implements
a simple global routing table that is referenced during the routing
process. With this implementation it is now possible for a user or
service (i.e. DHCP) to dynamically add routes to the table.
The routing table will select the most specific route when possible. It
will select any direct match between the destination and routing entry
addresses. If the destination address overlaps between multiple entries,
the Kernel will use the longest prefix match, or the longest number of
matching bits between the destination address and the routing address.
In the event that there is no entries found for a specific destination
address, this implementation supports entries for a default route to be
set for any specified interface.
This is a small first step towards enhancing the system's routing
capabilities. Future enhancements would include referencing a
configuration file at boot to load pre-defined static routes.
