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.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This expands the reach of error propagation greatly throughout the
kernel. Sadly, it also exposes the fact that we're allocating (and
doing other fallible things) in constructors all over the place.
This patch doesn't attempt to address that of course. That's work for
our future selves.
Currently, Kernel::Graphics::FramebufferConsole is written assuming that
the underlying framebuffer memory exists in physically contiguous
memory. There are a bunch of framebuffer devices that would need to use
the components of FramebufferConsole (in particular access to the kernel
bitmap font rendering logic). To reduce code duplication, framebuffer
console has been split into two parts, the abstract
GenericFramebufferConsole class which does the rendering, and the
ContiguousFramebufferConsole class which contains all logic related to
managing the underling vm object.
Also, a new flush method has been added to the class, to support devices
that require an extra flush step to render.
