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.
have one parent yet (on Darwin, multiple parents are possible: the IOKit
seems to handle a graph more than a tree). Introfuction of a keyboard
driver parent for IOHIDSystem.
The kernel keymapping is still a big mystery.
(not really related the the actual mouse movement, but this will come).
The darwin_iohidsystem_thread reads events from wscons, translates them
into IOHIDSystem events and wakes up the userland client with a notification.
To do this, I had to improve the void implementation of
io_connect_set_notification_port() to actually register something (I assumed
a single notification port, which makes some sense since only one process
seems to be able to open the driver)
Missing bits:
- we do not take event masks given by the process into account.
- the notification message has not been checked against Darwin
- events are badly translated
We try to map the console framebuffer through wsdisplay. It seems to work,
but we still need to _see_ something.
XXX Framebuffer size discovery is borken.
+ In ioframebuffer and iohidsystem:
More methods and more debug for io_connect_method_*
+ A few new IOKit mach traps.
return packet was wrong (port descriptor instead of VM area descriptor),
thus leading to SIGSEGV when calling IOKit's IOFBCreateSharedCursor().
Now this is fixed we can move forward again on graphic mode.
for the IOHIDSystem driver in Darwin. IOHIDSystem provides access
to user interface devices.
Communication between userspace and kernel is done through a shared
memory page. Our plan is to have a kernel thread waiting on wscons
events (for now it just does nothing), and have it feeding the
shared page.
