Also add assertion in Lock that the scheduler isn't currently active.
I've been seeing occasional fuckups that I suspect might be someone called
by the scheduler trying to take a busy lock.
While working on the ELF loader I was trying to keep binaries as simple as
possible so I could understand them easily. Now that the ELF loader is mature
and working fine, we can move closer towards ld defaults.
Instead of cowboy-calling the VESA BIOS in the bootloader, find the emulator
VGA adapter by scanning the PCI bus. Then set up the desired video mode by
sending device commands.
Clicking the button generates a WindowCloseRequest event which the client app
then has to deal with. The default behavior for GWindow is to close() itself.
I also added a flag, GWindow::should_exit_event_loop_on_close() which does
what it sounds like it does.
This patch exposed some bugs in GWindow and GWidget teardown.
The current strategy is simply to nuke all physical pages and force
reload them from disk. This is obviously not optimal and should eventually
be optimized. It should be fairly straightforward.
Font now uses the same in-memory format as the font files we have on disk.
This allows us to simply mmap() the font files and not use any additional
memory for them. Very cool! :^)
Hacking on this exposed a bug in file-backed VMObjects where the first client
to instantiate a VMObject for a specific inode also got to decide its size.
Since file-backed VMObjects always have the same size as the underlying file,
this made no sense, so I removed the ability to even set a size in that case.
Also use an enum for the rather-confusing return value in dispatch_signal().
I will go through the rest of the signals and set them up with the
appropriate default dispositions at some other point.
It automagically computes %CPU usage based on the number of times a process
has been scheduled between samples. The colonel task is used as idle timer.
This is pretty cool. :^)
Now the filesystem is generated on-the-fly instead of manually adding and
removing inodes as processes spawn and die.
The code is convoluted and bloated as I wrote it while sleepless. However,
it's still vastly better than the old ProcFS, so I'm committing it.
I also added /proc/PID/fd/N symlinks for each of a process's open fd's.
