This replaces all usages of Cacheable::Yes with MemoryType::Normal and
Cacheable::No with either MemoryType::NonCacheable or MemoryType::IO,
depending on the context.
The Page{Directory,Table}::set_cache_disabled function therefore also
has been replaced with a more appropriate set_memory_type_function.
Adding a memory_type "getter" would not be as easy, as some
architectures may not support all memory types, so getting the memory
type again may be a lossy conversion. The is_cache_disabled function
was never used, so just simply remove it altogether.
There is no difference between MemoryType::NonCacheable and
MemoryType::IO on x86 for now.
Other architectures currently don't respect the MemoryType at all.
This commit reorganizes the BootInfo struct definition so it can be
shared for all architectures.
The existing free extern "C" boot info variables have been removed and
replaced with a global BootInfo struct, 'g_boot_info'.
On x86-64, the BootInfo is directly copied from the Prekernel-provided
struct.
On AArch64 and RISC-V, BootInfo is populated during pre_init.
As MMIO is placed at fixed physical addressed, and does not need to be
backed by real RAM physical pages, there's no need to use PhysicalPage
instances to track their pages.
This results in slightly reduced allocations, but more importantly
makes MMIO addresses which end up after the normal RAM ranges work,
like 64-bit PCI BARs usually are.
This commit adds minimal support for compiler-instrumentation based
memory access sanitization.
Currently we only support detection of kmalloc redzone accesses, and
kmalloc use-after-free accesses.
Support for inline checks (for improved performance), and for stack
use-after-return and use-after-return detection is left for future PRs.
Previously we had a race condition in the page fault handling: We were
relying on the affected Region staying alive while handling the page
fault, but this was not actually guaranteed, as an munmap from another
thread could result in the region being removed concurrently.
This commit closes that hole by extending the lifetime of the region
affected by the page fault until the handling of the page fault is
complete. This is achieved by maintaing a psuedo-reference count on the
region which counts the number of in-progress page faults being handled
on this region, and extending the lifetime of the region while this
counter is non zero.
Since both the increment of the counter by the page fault handler and
the spin loop waiting for it to reach 0 during Region destruction are
serialized using the appropriate AddressSpace spinlock, eventual
progress is guaranteed: As soon as the region is removed from the tree
no more page faults on the region can start.
And similarly correctness is ensured: The counter is incremented under
the same lock, so any page faults that are being handled will have
already incremented the counter before the region is deallocated.
This class had slightly confusing semantics and the added weirdness
doesn't seem worth it just so we can say "." instead of "->" when
iterating over a vector of NNRPs.
This patch replaces NonnullRefPtrVector<T> with Vector<NNRP<T>>.
The handling of page tables is very architecture specific, so belongs
in the Arch directory. Some parts were already architecture-specific,
however this commit moves the rest of the PageDirectory class into the
Arch directory.
While we're here the aarch64/PageDirectory.{h,cpp} files are updated to
be aarch64 specific, by renaming some members and removing x86_64
specific code.
This step would ideally not have been necessary (increases amount of
refactoring and templates necessary, which in turn increases build
times), but it gives us a couple of nice properties:
- SpinlockProtected inside Singleton (a very common combination) can now
obtain any lock rank just via the template parameter. It was not
previously possible to do this with SingletonInstanceCreator magic.
- SpinlockProtected's lock rank is now mandatory; this is the majority
of cases and allows us to see where we're still missing proper ranks.
- The type already informs us what lock rank a lock has, which aids code
readability and (possibly, if gdb cooperates) lock mismatch debugging.
- The rank of a lock can no longer be dynamic, which is not something we
wanted in the first place (or made use of). Locks randomly changing
their rank sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
- In some places, we might be able to statically check that locks are
taken in the right order (with the right lock rank checking
implementation) as rank information is fully statically known.
This refactoring even more exposes the fact that Mutex has no lock rank
capabilites, which is not fixed here.
This commit updates the lock function from Spinlock and
RecursiveSpinlock to return the InterruptsState of the processor,
instead of the processor flags. The unlock functions would only look at
the interrupt flag of the processor flags, so we now use the
InterruptsState enum to clarify the intent, and such that we can use the
same Spinlock code for the aarch64 build.
To not break the build, all the call sites are updated aswell.
Globally shared MemoryManager state is now kept in a GlobalData struct
and wrapped in SpinlockProtected.
A small set of members are left outside the GlobalData struct as they
are only set during boot initialization, and then remain constant.
This allows us to access those members without taking any locks.
I believe this to be safe, as the main thing that LockRefPtr provides
over RefPtr is safe copying from a shared LockRefPtr instance. I've
inspected the uses of RefPtr<PhysicalPage> and it seems they're all
guarded by external locking. Some of it is less obvious, but this is
an area where we're making continuous headway.
This forces anyone who wants to look into and/or manipulate an address
space to lock it. And this replaces the previous, more flimsy, manual
spinlock use.
Note that pointers *into* the address space are not safe to use after
you unlock the space. We've got many issues like this, and we'll have
to track those down as wlel.
This makes locking them much more straightforward, and we can remove
a bunch of confusing use of AddressSpace::m_lock. That lock will also
be converted to use of SpinlockProtected in a subsequent patch.
While the "regular" quickmap (used to temporarily map a physical page
at a known address for quick access) has been per-CPU for a while,
we also have the PD (page directory) and PT (page table) quickmaps
used by the memory management code to edit page tables. These have been
global, which meant that SMP systems had to keep fighting over them.
This patch makes *all* quickmaps per-CPU. We reserve virtual addresses
for up to 64 CPUs worth of quickmaps for now.
Note that all quickmaps are still protected by the MM lock, and we'll
have to fix that too, before seeing any real throughput improvements.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
All users which relied on the default constructor use a None lock rank
for now. This will make it easier to in the future remove LockRank and
actually annotate the ranks by searching for None.
There's no real value in separating physical pages to supervisor and
user types, so let's remove the concept and just let everyone to use
"user" physical pages which can be allocated from any PhysicalRegion
we want to use. Later on, we will remove the "user" prefix as this
prefix is not needed anymore.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This had no business being in RegionTree, since RegionTree doesn't track
identity-mapped regions anyway. (We allow *any* address to be identity
mapped, not just the ones that are part of the RegionTree's range.)
Instead of first allocating the VM range, and then inserting a region
with that range into the MM region tree, we now do both things in a
single atomic operation:
- RegionTree::place_anywhere(Region&, size, alignment)
- RegionTree::place_specifically(Region&, address, size)
To reduce the number of things we do while locking the region tree,
we also require callers to provide a constructed Region object.
This patch ports MemoryManager to RegionTree as well. The biggest
difference between this and the userspace code is that kernel regions
are owned by extant OwnPtr<Region> objects spread around the kernel,
while userspace regions are owned by the AddressSpace itself.
For kernelspace, there are a couple of situations where we need to make
large VM reservations that never get backed by regular VMObjects
(for example the kernel image reservation, or the big kmalloc range.)
Since we can't make a VM reservation without a Region object anymore,
this patch adds a way to create unbacked Region objects that can be
used for this exact purpose. They have no internal VMObject.)
If someone specifically wants contiguous memory in the low-physical-
address-for-DMA range ("super pages"), they can use the
allocate_dma_buffer_pages() helper.
