This is prep work for supporting HashMap with NonnullRefPtr<T> as values.
It's currently not possible because many HashTable functions require being
able to default-construct the value type.
Update ProcessManager, top and WSCPUMonitor to handle the new format.
Since the kernel is not allowed to use floating-point math, we now compile
the JSON classes in AK without JsonValue::Type::Double support.
To accomodate large unsigned ints, I added a JsonValue::Type::UnsignedInt.
It's kinda funny how I can make a mistake like this in Serenity and then
get so used to it by spending lots of time using this API that I start to
believe that this is how printf() always worked..
Previously the check for an empty part would happen before the
check for access and for the parent being a directory, and so an
error in those would not be detected.
If a symlink is not the last part of a path, the remaining part
of the path has to be further resolved against the symlink target.
With this, a path containing a symlink always resolves to the target
of the first (leftmost) symlink in it, for example any path of form
/proc/self/... resolves to the corresponding /proc/pid directory.
StringView character buffer is not guaranteed to be null-terminated;
in particular it will not be null-terminated when making a substring.
This means that the buffer can not be used with C functions that expect
a null-terminated string. Instead, StringView provides a convinient
operator == for comparing it with Strings and C stirngs, so use that.
This fixes /proc/self/... resolution failures in ProcFS, since the name
("self") passed to ProcFSInode::lookup() would not be null-terminated.
This significantly reduces the pressure on the kernel heap when
allocating a lot of pages.
Previously at about 250MB allocated, the free page list would outgrow
the kernel's heap. Given that there is no longer a page list, this does
not happen.
The next barrier will be the kernel memory used by the page records for
in-use memory. This kicks in at about 1GB.
After reading a bunch of POSIX specs, I've learned that a file descriptor
is the number that refers to a file description, not the description itself.
So this patch renames FileDescriptor to FileDescription, and Process now has
FileDescription* file_description(int fd).
Walk the custody cache and try to reuse an existing one when possible.
The VFS is responsible for updating them when something happens that would
cause the described relationship to change.
This is definitely not perfect but it does work for the basic scenarios like
renaming and removing directory entries.
When encountering a symlink, we abandon the custody chain we've been working
on and start over with a new one (by recursing into a new resolution call.)
Caching symlinks in the custody model would be incredibly difficult to get
right with all the extra invalidation it would require, so let's just not.
