remote process. This new implementation also passes all the test programs
I've written so far.
- When exceptions come from traps, no UNIX signal should evet be sent.
- Add a lock to ensure a debugger handles only one exception at a time
- Use a structure to hold flavor and behavior in exception ports, instead
of stuffing the two argument into an int.
- Implement new Mach services: thread_suspend, thread_resume and thread_abort
- Implement Darwin's ptrace PT_ATTACHEXC and PT_THUPDATE commands
- Handle NULL second argument correctly in sigprocmask.
- One mistake in the last commit (darwin_tracesig prototype)
receiver namespace.
While we are there, refactor mach_msg_overwrite by splitting it into
several smaller functions. It had grown too big to be easily maintainable.
wrong on the semantic front; the spurious wakeup confuses Darwin's gdb.
Allow vm, task and thread operations on remote processes. The code to pick up
the remote process is in mach_sys_msg_trap(), so that any Mach service can
use it.
blocked in the kernel. The task that catched the exception may unblock
it by sending a reply to the exception message (Of course it will have
to change something so that the exception is not immediatly raised again).
Handling of this reply is a bit complicated, as the kernel acts as the
client instead of the server. In this situation, we receive a message
but we will not send any reply (the message we receive is already a reply).
I have not found anything better than a special case in
mach_msg_overwrite_trap() to handle this.
A surprise: exceptions ports are preserved accross forks.
While we are there, use appropriate 64 bit types for make_memory_entry_64.
will have unimplemented services showing their names in ktrace
Add a new generated file with only service id and name, which will
be included by kdump to display services names.
This removes the need for using the user ktrace facility for services names.
1) make sure Mach servers will not work on data beyond the end of the
request message buffer.
2) make sure that on copying out the reply message buffer, we will not
leak kernel data located after the buffer.
3) make sure that the server will not overwrite memory beyond the end
of the reply message buffer. That check is the responsability of the
server, there is just a DIAGNOSTIC test to check everything is in
good shape. All currently implemented servers in NetBSD have been
modified to check for this condition
While we are here, build the mach services table (formerly in mach_namemap.c)
and the services prototypes automatically from mach_services.master, just
as this is done for system calls.
The next step would be to fold the message formats in the mach_services.master
file, but this tends to be difficult, as some messages are quite long and
complex.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
send, send once, and dead names, not for port sets and receive rights.
This make vi and telnet able to work again.
Also removed the all process right list and its lock, which got useless. The
all process lock is replaced by a per process lock, located in struct
mach_emuldata.
Also one bug fix: we did not correctly called Mach hooks for struct emuldata
initialization and release for Darwin processes.
the right in the destination process.
This is a small step backward for functionnality: vi does not work anymore
because our right checks cause some spurious errors, but this will be fixed
later.
and a body.
- If mach_init is not availabkle for boostrap requests, try to handle them
in the kernel (we don't really handle them, we just try to avoid hanging there)
- minor tweaks.
1) rights should be shared by the threads within a process. While it would
be easier to handle this with the struct proc/struct lwp split, we attempt to
do this now by sharing the right lists. Because each right holds a reference
to struct proc, this might cause some problems later.
2) in pthread_exit, really exit the thread. Also reintialize the righ tlist to
make sure we will not destroy the parent's right list
3) rights can hold multiple permissions on a port (ie: send and receive). Fix th
is.
4) first attempt on right carried by messages. We still have to do rights carrie
d in the message body (complex messages).
This does not buy us new functionnality for now, because we still have to
discover how mach_init (which acts as a name server, enabling processes to
discover each other's ports) is able to receive messages from other processes
(this is a bootstrap problem, and the bootstrap port might be the place to
search).
While we are there:
- removed a lot of debug which is now available using ktrace.
- reworked message handling to avoid mutliple copyin/copyout of the
same data. ktrace of Mach message now uses the in-kernel copy of the
message instead of copying it from userland.
- packed mach trap handlers arguments into a structure to avoid modifying
everything next time we have to add an argument.
Check for target buffer length, and fail if it is too short
Move mach_msg_trap and mach_msg_overwrite_trap to their own file
Remove some useless debug messages now we have ktrace
Remove __P()
