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 :^)
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.
The LexicalPath instance methods dirname(), basename(), title() and
extension() will be changed to return StringView const& in a further
commit. Due to this, users creating temporary LexicalPath objects just
to call one of those getters will recieve a StringView const& pointing
to a possible freed buffer.
To avoid this, static methods for those APIs have been added, which will
return a String by value to avoid those problems. All cases where
temporary LexicalPath objects have been used as described above haven
been changed to use the static APIs.
This patch adds a few minor visual features to the `bt` utility:
- Number each frame of the back trace.
- Color the address based on if it's in kernel or user space.
- Add a "frames:" heading to visually seperate the thread id.
- Rename "tid: <tid>" -> "thread: <tid>" as it's more visually
appealing since it aligns vertically with "frames:"
- Add a visual " | " seperate between the address and symbol name.
This functionality, while neat, isn't really something you need enabled
all the time. Let's make it opt-in instead. Pass MakeInspectable::Yes
to the Core::EventLoop constructor if you want your program to become
inspectable.
Process-separated symbolication was cute, but ultimately the threat
model is kinda silly. We're already *running* the binary, but we're
afraid to parse its symbol table? :^)
This commit makes SystemMonitor and bt do symbolication in-process.
SymbolServer and the symbol user will be removed separately.
When the default build location was moved from /Build to the new
architecture specific directory, /Build/i686, this code broke.
All file names are now path relative one additional level up.
So continue the hack, and introduce another dummy directory to
make the relative paths resolve correctly.
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

Since this is useful in many places, let's have a common implementation
of walking the stack of a given thread via /proc and symbolicating each
of the frames.
The /boot directory is only accessible to root by default, but anyone
wanting access to kernel symbols for development can get them by making
/boot/Kernel accessible to the "symbol" user.
Usage: bt <PID>
This program will print a symbolicated backtrace for the main thread of
the process with the given PID. It uses SymbolServer for the
symbolication.
There's a lot of room for improvement in this command, but it is pretty
neat already. :^)
