These instances were detected by searching for files that include
Kernel/Debug.h, but don't match the regex:
\\bdbgln_if\(|_DEBUG\\b
This regex is pessimistic, so there might be more files that don't check
for any real *_DEBUG macro. There seem to be no corner cases anyway.
In theory, one might use LibCPP to detect things like this
automatically, but let's do this one step after another.
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.
The mmap interface was removed when we introduced the DisplayConnector
class, as it was quite unsafe to use and didn't handle switching between
graphical and text modes safely. By using the SharedFramebufferVMObject,
we are able to elegantly coordinate the switch by remapping the attached
mmap'ed-Memory::Region(s) with different mappings, therefore, keeping
WindowServer to think that the mappings it has are still valid, while
they are going to a different physical range until we are back to the
graphical mode (after a switch from text mode).
Most drivers take advantage of the fact that we know where is the actual
framebuffer in physical memory space, the SharedFramebufferVMObject is
created with that information. However, the VirtIO driver is different
in that aspect, because it relies on DMA transactions to show graphics
on the framebuffer, so the SharedFramebufferVMObject is created with
that mindset to support the arbitrary framebuffer location in physical
memory space.
