This is obviously more readable. If we ever run into a situation where
ref count churn is actually causing trouble in the future, we can deal with
it then. For now, let's keep it simple. :^)
Also tweak the kernel's Makefile to use -nostdinc and -nostdinc++.
This prevents us from picking up random headers from ../Root, which may
include older versions of kernel headers.
Since we still need <initializer_list> for Vector, we specifically include
the necessary GCC path. This is a bit hackish but it works for now.
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).
