This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

There's no need to have separate syscall for this kind of functionality,
as we can just have a device node in /dev, called "beep", that allows
writing tone generation packets to emulate the same behavior.
In addition to that, we remove LibC sysbeep function, as this function
was never being used by any C program nor it was standardized in any
way.
Instead, we move the userspace implementation to LibCore.
Since it will become a stream in a little bit, it should behave like all
non-trivial stream classes, who are not primarily intended to have
shared ownership to make closing behavior more predictable. Across all
uses of MappedFile, there is only one use case of shared mapped files in
LibVideo, which now uses the thin SharedMappedFile wrapper.
These syscalls are not necessary on their own, and they give the false
impression that a caller could set or get the thread name of any process
in the system, which is not true.
Therefore, move the functionality of these syscalls to be options in the
prctl syscall, which makes it abundantly clear that these operations
could only occur from a running thread in a process that sees other
threads in that process only.
Now that support for 32-bit x86 has been removed, we don't have to worry
about the top half of `off_t`/`u64` values being chopped off when we try
to pass them in registers. Therefore, we no longer need the workaround
of pointers to stack-allocated values to syscalls.
Note that this changes the system call ABI, so statically linked
programs will have to be re-linked.
This is a preparation before we can create a usable mechanism to use
filesystem-specific mount flags.
To keep some compatibility with userland code, LibC and LibCore mount
functions are kept being usable, but now instead of doing an "atomic"
syscall, they do multiple syscalls to perform the complete procedure of
mounting a filesystem.
The FileBackedFileSystem IntrusiveList in the VFS code is now changed to
be protected by a Mutex, because when we mount a new filesystem, we need
to check if a filesystem is already created for a given source_fd so we
do a scan for that OpenFileDescription in that list. If we fail to find
an already-created filesystem we create a new one and register it in the
list if we successfully mounted it. We use a Mutex because we might need
to initiate disk access during the filesystem creation, which will take
other mutexes in other parts of the kernel, therefore making it not
possible to take a spinlock while doing this.
It makes much more sense to have these actions being performed via the
prctl syscall, as they both require 2 plain arguments to be passed to
the syscall layer, and in contrast to most syscalls, we don't get in
these removed syscalls an automatic representation of Userspace<T>, but
two FlatPtr(s) to perform casting on them in the prctl syscall which is
suited to what has been done in the removed syscalls.
Also, it makes sense to have these actions in the prctl syscall, because
they are strongly related to the process control concept of the prctl
syscall.
`Stream` will be qualified as `AK::Stream` until we remove the
`Core::Stream` namespace. `IODevice` now reuses the `SeekMode` that is
defined by `SeekableStream`, since defining its own would require us to
qualify it with `AK::SeekMode` everywhere.
These are formatters that can only be used with debug print
functions, such as dbgln(). Currently this is limited to
Formatter<ErrorOr<T>>. With this you can still debug log ErrorOr
values (good for debugging), but trying to use them in any
String::formatted() call will fail (which prevents .to_string()
errors with the new failable strings being ignored).
You make a formatter debug only by adding a constexpr method like:
static constexpr bool is_debug_only() { return true; }
In 7c5e30daaa, the focus was "only" on
Userland/Libraries/, whereas this commit cleans up the remaining
headers in the repo, and any new badly-formatted include.
This syscall will be used later on to ensure we can declare virtual
memory mappings as immutable (which means that the underlying Region is
basically immutable for both future annotations or changing the
protection bits of it).
We previously passed both OperandSize and AddressSize to the
constructor.
Both values were only ever 32-bit at construction.
We used AddressSize::Size64 to signify Long mode which was needlessly
complicated.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Otherwise, we end up propagating those dependencies into targets that
link against that library, which creates unnecessary link-time
dependencies.
Also included are changes to readd now missing dependencies to tools
that actually need them.
The syscalls are renamed as they no longer reflect the exact POSIX
functionality. They can now handle setting/getting scheduler parameters
for both threads and processes.
Doesn't use them in libc headers so that those don't have to pull in
AK/Platform.h.
AK_COMPILER_GCC is set _only_ for gcc, not for clang too. (__GNUC__ is
defined in clang builds as well.) Using AK_COMPILER_GCC simplifies
things some.
AK_COMPILER_CLANG isn't as much of a win, other than that it's
consistent with AK_COMPILER_GCC.
We previously had at least three different implementations for resolving
executables in the PATH, all of which had slightly different
characteristics.
Merge those into a single implementation to keep the behaviour
consistent, and maybe to make that implementation more configurable in
the future.
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.
These were accidental (or leftover) uses of String::characters() to
construct StringViews through its StringView(char const*) constructor.
Since this constructor is due to be removed, this will no longer work.
Plus this prevents strlen from being run on these strings unnecessarily.
