2022-01-16kernel: make Page.txtflush into an arraycinap_lenrek
To avoid a MAXMACH limit of 32 and make txtflush into an array for the bitmap. Provide portable macros for testing and clearing the bits: needtxtflush(), donetxtflush(). On pc/pc64, define inittxtflush()/settxtflush() as no-op macros, avoiding the storage overhead of the txtflush array alltogether.
2020-05-10kernel: fix checkpages() and segflush() on SG_PHYSICAL type segmentscinap_lenrek
do not touch s->map on SG_PHYSICAL type segments as they do not have a pte map (s->mapsize == 0 && s->map == nil). also remove the SG_PHYSICAL switch in freepte(), this is never reached.
2020-02-23kernel: fix multiple devproc bugs and pid reuse issuescinap_lenrek
devproc assumes that when we hold the Proc.debug qlock, the process will be prevented from exiting. but there is another race where the process has already exited and the Proc* slot gets reused. to solve this, on process creation we also have to acquire the debug qlock while initializing the fields of the process. this also means newproc() should only initialize fields *not* protected by the debug qlock. always acquire the Proc.debug qlock when changing strings in the proc structure to avoid doublefree on concurrent update. for changing the user string, we add a procsetuser() function that does this for auth.c and devcap. remove pgrpnote() from pgrp.c and replace by static postnotepg() in devproc. avoid the assumption that the Proc* entries returned by proctab() are continuous. fixed devproc permission issues: - make sure only eve can access /proc/trace - none should only be allowed to read its own /proc/n/text - move Proc.kp checks into procopen() pid reuse was not handled correctly, as we where only checking if a pid had a living process, but there still could be processes expecting a particular parentpid or noteid. this is now addressed with reference counted Pid structures which are organized in a hash table. read access to the hash table does not require locks which will be usefull for dtracy later.
2020-01-26kernel: implement portable userinit() and simplify process creationcinap_lenrek
replace machine specific userinit() by a portable implemntation that uses kproc() to create the first process. the initcode text is mapped using kmap(), so there is no need for machine specific tmpmap() functions. initcode stack preparation should be done in init0() where the stack is mapped and can be accessed directly. replacing the machine specific userinit() allows some big simplifications as sysrfork() and kproc() are now the only callers of newproc() and we can avoid initializing fields that we know are being initialized by these callers. rename autogenerated init.h and reboot.h headers. the initcode[] and rebootcode[] blobs are now in *.i files and hex generation was moved to portmkfile. the machine specific mkfile only needs to specify how to build rebootcode.out and initcode.out.
