Core::deferred_invoke is a way of executing an action after previously
queued events have been processed. It removes the requirement of
having/being a Core::Object subclass in order to defer invocation
through Core::Object::deferred_invoke.
Core::Object::deferred_invoke now delegates to Core::deferred_invoke.
The version with the Object& argument is still present but will be
removed in the following commits.
This commit additionally fixes a new places where the
DeferredInvocationEvent was dispatched to the event loop directly, and
replaces them with the Core::deferred_invoke equivalent.
This static bool getter can be used to VERIFY that an event loop exists,
in situations where one is expected.
This is helpful if the absence of an event loop would generate strange
and/or loud errors that don't immediately point to this as a cause.
Core::EventLoop now makes an outbound connection to InspectorServer
instead of listening for incoming connections on a /tmp/rpc/PID socket.
This has many benefits, for example:
- We no longer keep an open listening socket in most applications
- We stop leaking socket files in /tmp/rpc
- We can tighten the pledges in many programs (patch coming)
The LOCKER() macro appears to have been added to LibThread as a
userspace analog to the previous LOCKER() macro that existed in
the kernel. The kernel version used the macro to inject __FILE__ and
__LINE__ number into the lock acquisition for debugging. However
AK::SourceLocation was used to remove the need for the macro. So
the kernel version no longer exists. The LOCKER() in LibThread doesn't
appear to actually need to be a macro, using the type directly works
fine, and arguably is more readable as it removes an unnecessary
level of indirection.

This was a helper that would call a syscall repeatedly until it either
succeeded or failed with a non-EINTR error.
It was only used in two places, so I don't think we need this helper.
(...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.
