To do this we also need to get rid of LockRefPtrs in the USB code as
well.
Most of the SysFS nodes are statically generated during boot and are not
mutated afterwards.
The same goes for general device code - once we generate the appropriate
SysFS nodes, we almost never mutate the node pointers afterwards, making
locking unnecessary.
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.
Under normal conditions (when mounting SysFS in /sys), there will be a
new directory in the /sys/devices directory called "graphics".
For now, under that directory there will be only a sub-directory called
"connectors" which will contain all DisplayConnectors' details, each in
its own sub-directory too, distinguished in naming with its minor
number.
Therefore, /sys/devices/graphics/connectors/MINOR_NUMBER/ will contain:
- General device attributes such as mutable_mode_setting_capable,
double_buffering_capable, flush_support, partial_flush_support and
refresh_rate_support. These values are exposed in the ioctl interface
of the DisplayConnector class too, but these can be useful later on
for command line utilities that want/need to expose these basic
settings.
- The EDID blob, simply named "edid". This will help userspace to fetch
the edid without the need of using the ioctl interface later on.
