I believe this to be safe, as the main thing that LockRefPtr provides
over RefPtr is safe copying from a shared LockRefPtr instance. I've
inspected the uses of RefPtr<PhysicalPage> and it seems they're all
guarded by external locking. Some of it is less obvious, but this is
an area where we're making continuous headway.
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.
As make<T> is infallible, it really should not be used anywhere in the
Kernel. Instead replace with fallible `new (nothrow)` calls, that will
eventually be error-propagated.
In order to reduce our reliance on __builtin_{ffs, clz, ctz, popcount},
this commit removes all calls to these functions and replaces them with
the equivalent functions in AK/BuiltinWrappers.h.
Since it's possible to determine where the small zones will start to
occur for each PhysicalRegion, we can use arithmetic so that the call
time for both large and small zones is identical.
Most of the time, we will be freeing physical pages within the
full-sized zones. We can do some simple math to find the right zone
immediately instead of looping through the zones, checking each one.
We still do loop through the slack/remainder zones at the end.
There's probably an even nicer way to solve this, but this is already a
nice improvement. :^)
