This is a security measure. We may want to bring back user access to
mounting and formatting media in the future, but this should be done
only once we are sure that this is safe from a security perspective.
As of this patch, df(1) no longer performs raw disk access; it
operates exclusively on mounted file systems. This also means
that df no longer needs to be setuid.
We have actually had lseek64 for quite a while now, so it's no longer
necessary to do horrible things to the partition table just to be able
to access large offsets into a device.
Also fix the compiler warnings in these commands.
- inherit a predefined set of system environment variables
(the current set of inherited variables is: ahci; acpi; no_apic);
- auto-adjust the default menu option when lines are auto-removed;
- add variable substitution support for /etc/boot.cfg.local;
- make default menu options in boot.cfg.local relative to itself,
allowing one to set the default to a menu option from this file.
. Removed the usage of 64 bit functions in top.c. Compiles successfully.
. Scaling 64 bit values to 32 bit is removed.
. Retain make64 instead of using | with shift.
. Add order cycling display
Introduce explicit abstractions for different mapping types,
handling the instantiation, forking, pagefaults and freeing of
anonymous memory, direct physical mappings, shared memory and
physically contiguous anonymous memory as separate types, making
region.c more generic.
Also some other genericification like merging the 3 munmap cases
into one.
COW and SMAP safemap code is still implicit in region.c.
- add "edit" menu option, to edit menu commands before executing them;
- add "menu" boot command, to return to the menu from the prompt;
- provide more line editing features when getting input;
- fix a few potential buffer overflows as a side effect.
The check_bsf() macro uses assert(mutex_trylock(&bsf_lock)) and
assumes bsf_lock is locked afterwards. This breaks when compiling
with NOASSERTS="yes". Also: macro to function transition.
lets unstack
(a) know about in-kernel ipc entry points and
(b) be able handle >2GB symbol offsets.
. sort: add -x for hex numerical sort
. unstack: gnm is obsolete
. unstack: datasizes is obsolete (use nm --size-sort instead)
. unstack: add ipc entry points read from procfs (hex)
. unstack: use sort -x to sort symbol order so the procfs ones are
sorted independent of position and original ordering
. add cpufeature detection of both
. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
for call number
. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
has to save it
. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
done as some information is missing.
. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
sigreturn case.
. override all usage by setting libc_ipc=1
rm -rf works just fine no matter what mode bits are set (modulo
file ownership and current user id). Test 43 creates a symlink
to / and the chmod operation would change file permissions outside
of the test directory.
. whenever this function is called, pm will expect
the process to be cleaned up
. so don't abort the process entirely on error
. fixes a later 'forking on top of in-use child' vfs panic
