Summary

This PR implements the standard Linux interfaces /proc/pid/maps and /proc/meminfo for Starry.

Crucially, it also includes significant improvements to the underlying SeqFile infrastructure to correctly handle multi-page content generation, resolving issues where output would be truncated at 4KB.

Implementation Details

1. /proc/pid/maps

  • Standard Compliance: Aligned output format strictly with Linux AArch64 standards (12-digit hex addresses, path padding to column 73).
  • Region Identification: Added logic to automatically identify and label special regions like [heap] and [stack].

2. /proc/meminfo

  • Implemented global memory statistics reporting (Total, Free, Available).
  • Connects to the new global memory statistics API exposed in axmm.

3. SeqFile Infrastructure Improvements (Critical)

  • Large Output Support: Updated metadata to report a large virtual file size (1MB) instead of the physical buffer size. This bypasses the VFS layer's EOF check, allowing cat to read files larger than 4KB (e.g., a process with hundreds of VMAs).
  • Safety: Added output.fill(0) in the read path to prevent dirty data leakage.
  • State Machine: Refined offset tracking to ensure seamless multi-page reads.

Test result

1. /proc/pid/maps Validation

  • Used a custom C program to allocate a large number of VMAs (via mmap) to stress-test the SeqFile pagination logic.
  • Result: The system successfully handled the large output (> 4KB), correctly generating the maps file across multiple reads without truncation or duplication.

2. /proc/meminfo Validation

  • Verified that /proc/meminfo is implemented and correctly reports system memory
image

This commit implements the standard `/proc/pid/maps` interface and
significantly improves the underlying `SeqFile` infrastructure to support
large, multi-page content.
Key changes:
1. /proc/pid/maps:
- Implemented VMA traversal to expose memory layout, permissions, and
backing file paths.
- Aligned output format strictly with Linux AArch64 standards (12-digit
hex addresses, path padding to column 73).
- Added automatic identification for [heap] and [stack] regions.
2. SeqFile Infrastructure Improvements:
- VFS Size Bypass: Updated `metadata` to report a large virtual file size
(1MB) instead of the physical buffer size (4KB). This is a critical fix
that prevents the VFS layer from intercepting valid reads as EOF when
the offset exceeds the initial buffer size, enabling correct multi-page
reading.
- Safety: Added `output.fill(0)` in the read path to prevent dirty data
leakage into user buffers.
- Buffering: Refined the state machine to handle buffer refills and
offset tracking robustly.
Tested with a VMA stress test (120+ VMAs), confirming that data larger
than 4KB can be read sequentially without truncation or corruption.

Summary

This PR implements the standard Linux interfaces /proc/pid/maps and /proc/meminfo for Starry.

Crucially, it also includes significant improvements to the underlying SeqFile infrastructure to correctly handle multi-page content generation, resolving issues where output would be truncated at 4KB.

Implementation Details

1. /proc/pid/maps

  • Standard Compliance: Aligned output format strictly with Linux AArch64 standards (12-digit hex addresses, path padding to column 73).
  • Region Identification: Added logic to automatically identify and label special regions like [heap] and [stack].

2. /proc/meminfo

  • Implemented global memory statistics reporting (Total, Free, Available).
  • Connects to the new global memory statistics API exposed in axmm.

3. SeqFile Infrastructure Improvements (Critical)

  • Large Output Support: Updated metadata to report a large virtual file size (1MB) instead of the physical buffer size. This bypasses the VFS layer's EOF check, allowing cat to read files larger than 4KB (e.g., a process with hundreds of VMAs).
  • Safety: Added output.fill(0) in the read path to prevent dirty data leakage.
  • State Machine: Refined offset tracking to ensure seamless multi-page reads.

Test result

1. /proc/pid/maps Validation

  • Used a custom C program to allocate a large number of VMAs (via mmap) to stress-test the SeqFile pagination logic.
  • Result: The system successfully handled the large output (> 4KB), correctly generating the maps file across multiple reads without truncation or duplication.

2. /proc/meminfo Validation

  • Verified that /proc/meminfo is implemented and correctly reports system memory
image

This commit implements the standard `/proc/pid/maps` interface and
significantly improves the underlying `SeqFile` infrastructure to support
large, multi-page content.
Key changes:
1. /proc/pid/maps:
- Implemented VMA traversal to expose memory layout, permissions, and
backing file paths.
- Aligned output format strictly with Linux AArch64 standards (12-digit
hex addresses, path padding to column 73).
- Added automatic identification for [heap] and [stack] regions.
2. SeqFile Infrastructure Improvements:
- VFS Size Bypass: Updated `metadata` to report a large virtual file size
(1MB) instead of the physical buffer size (4KB). This is a critical fix
that prevents the VFS layer from intercepting valid reads as EOF when
the offset exceeds the initial buffer size, enabling correct multi-page
reading.
- Safety: Added `output.fill(0)` in the read path to prevent dirty data
leakage into user buffers.
- Buffering: Refined the state machine to handle buffer refills and
offset tracking robustly.
Tested with a VMA stress test (120+ VMAs), confirming that data larger
than 4KB can be read sequentially without truncation or corruption.
