Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
This was a premature optimization from the early days of SerenityOS.
The eternal heap was a simple bump pointer allocator over a static
byte array. My original idea was to avoid heap fragmentation and improve
data locality, but both ideas were rooted in cargo culting, not data.
We would reserve 4 MiB at boot and only ended up using ~256 KiB, wasting
the rest.
This patch replaces all kmalloc_eternal() usage by regular kmalloc().
This removes Pipes dependency on the UHCIController by introducing a
controller base class. This will be used to implement other controllers
such as OHCI.
Additionally, there can be multiple instances of a UHCI controller.
For example, multiple UHCI instances can be required for systems with
EHCI controllers. EHCI relies on using multiple of either UHCI or OHCI
controllers to drive USB 1.x devices.
This means UHCIController can no longer be a singleton. Multiple
instances of it can now be created and passed to the device and then to
the pipe.
To handle finding and creating these instances, USBManagement has been
introduced. It has the same pattern as the other management classes
such as NetworkManagement.
