Having an alias function that only wraps another one is silly, and
keeping the more obvious name should flush out more uses of deprecated
strings.
No behavior change.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
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 changes browsing through disassembled functions in Profiler from a
painfully sluggish experience into quite a swift one. It's especially
true for profiling the kernel, as it has more than 10 megabytes of DWARF
data to churn through.
/boot/Kernel.debug only contains the symbol table and DWARF debug
information, and has its `.text` and other PT_LOAD segments stripped
out. When we try to parse its data as instructions, we get a crash from
within LibX86.
We now load the actual /boot/Kernel binary when we want to disassemble
kernel functions.
There is no point in keeping around a separate MappedFile object for
/boot/Kernel.debug for each DisassemblyModel we create and re-parsing
the kernel image multiple times. This will significantly speed up
browsing through profile entries from the kernel in disassembly view.
Since our executables are position-independent, the address values
extraced from processes don't correspond to their values within the ELF
file. We have to offset the absolute addresses by the load base address
to get the relative symbol that we need for disassembly.
Now that the kernel is compiled as a PIE, all addresses are relative to
the loaded base address, so Symbolication::kernel_base has to be
subtracted off from the absolute addresses if we want to symbolicate
them.
This can happen if the symbol is part of a switch-case, and not
a function, which would previously have made the disassembly view
appear empty.
Now we disassemble the containing function, starting at the given label
and continuing up until the last captured instruction.
Most of the models were just calling did_update anyway, which is
pointless since it can be unified to the base Model class. Instead, code
calling update() will now call invalidate(), which functions identically
and is more obvious in what it does.
Additionally, a default implementation is provided, which removes the
need to add empty implementations of update() for each model subclass.

This removes all the hard-coded kernel base addresses from userspace
tools.
One downside for this is that e.g. Profiler no longer uses a different
color for kernel symbols when run as a non-root user.
When constructing values of the InstructionData type we assume that
the event_count field is a size_t while it actually is a u32. On x86_64
this fails because those are different types.
This patch adds an additional level of hierarchy to the call tree:
Every process gets its own top-level node. :^)
Before this, selecting multiple processes would get quite confusing
as all the call stacks from different processes were combined together
into one big tree.
This turns the perfcore format into more a log than it was before,
which lets us properly log process, thread and region
creation/destruction. This also makes it unnecessary to dump the
process' regions every time it is scheduled like we did before.
Incidentally this also fixes 'profile -c' because we previously ended
up incorrectly dumping the parent's region map into the profile data.
Log-based mmap support enables profiling shared libraries which
are loaded at runtime, e.g. via dlopen().
This enables profiling both the parent and child process for
programs which use execve(). Previously we'd discard the profiling
data for the old process.
The Profiler tool has been updated to not treat thread IDs as
process IDs anymore. This enables support for processes with more
than one thread. Also, there's a new widget to filter which
process should be displayed.

The previous names (RGBA32 and RGB32) were misleading since that's not
the actual byte order in memory. The new names reflect exactly how the
color values get laid out in bitmap data.
In multi-process profiles, the same ELF objects tend to occur many
times (everyone has libc.so for example) so we will quickly run out
of VM if we map each object once per process that uses it.
Fix this by adding a "mapped object cache" that maps the path of
an ELF object to a cached memory mapping and wrapping ELF::Image.
The perfcore file format was previously limited to a single process
since the pid/executable/regions data was top-level in the JSON.
This patch moves the process-specific data into a top-level array
named "processes" and we now add entries for each process that has
been sampled during the profile run.
This makes it possible to see samples from multiple threads when
viewing a perfcore file with Profiler. This is extremely cool! :^)
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
