Subject: fix: replace pmm_alloc_page_low with pmm_alloc_page — fix fork OOM
X-Git-Url: https://projects.tadryanom.me/docs/static/git-logo.png?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1860e2786ecdc08dc0d96b797d67d96fc99cc405;p=AdrOS.git

fix: replace pmm_alloc_page_low with pmm_alloc_page — fix fork OOM

The below-16MB page allocator (pmm_alloc_page_low) randomly sampled
pages and discarded any above 16MB.  With 100 zombie children holding
CoW address spaces, the low-memory pool exhausted and fork() returned
-ENOMEM, killing init before the SIGSEGV/waitpid-100/echo.elf tests.

On 32-bit PAE all physical addresses are below 4GB, so the 16MB
restriction is unnecessary for PDPTs, page directories, page tables,
and user frames.

Changes:
- vmm.c: replace all pmm_alloc_page_low() with pmm_alloc_page(),
  remove the dead pmm_alloc_page_low function
- usermode.c: replace pmm_alloc_page_low_16mb() with pmm_alloc_page(),
  remove the dead function
- init.c: make SIGSEGV test failure non-fatal (goto instead of
  sys_exit) so subsequent tests still run

83/83 smoke tests pass (10s), cppcheck clean.
