As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
This is needed to eliminate a race in Thread::wait_on() where we'd
otherwise have to wait until after unlocking the process lock before
we can disable interrupts.
There was a time window between releasing Lock::m_lock and calling into
the lock's WaitQueue where someone else could take m_lock and bring two
threads into a deadlock situation.
Fix this issue by holding Lock::m_lock until interrupts are disabled by
either Thread::wait_on() or WaitQueue::wake_one().
Instead of using the generic block mechanism, wait-queued threads now
go into the special Queued state.
This fixes an issue where signal dispatch would unblock a wait-queued
thread (because signal dispatch unblocks blocked threads) and cause
confusion since the thread only expected to be awoken by the queue.
The kernel's Lock class now uses a proper wait queue internally instead
of just having everyone wake up regularly to try to acquire the lock.
We also keep the donation mechanism, so that whenever someone tries to
take the lock and fails, that thread donates the remainder of its
timeslice to the current lock holder.
After unlocking a Lock, the unlocking thread calls WaitQueue::wake_one,
which unblocks the next thread in queue.
The scheduler is not allowed to take locks, so if that's happening,
we want to make that clear instead of crashing with the more general
"Interrupts disabled while trying to take Lock" error.
