This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

We will be adding extra logic to the CircularBuffer to optimize
searching, but this would negatively impact the performance of
CircularBuffer users that don't need that functionality.
This is a generic wrapper for a time instant relative to the unix epoch,
and does not account for leap seconds. It should be used in place of
Duration in most current cases.
That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
`Stream` will be qualified as `AK::Stream` until we remove the
`Core::Stream` namespace. `IODevice` now reuses the `SeekMode` that is
defined by `SeekableStream`, since defining its own would require us to
qualify it with `AK::SeekMode` everywhere.
This implements a FlyString that will de-duplicate String instances. The
FlyString will store the raw encoded data of the String instance: If the
String is a short string, FlyString holds the String::ShortString bytes;
otherwise FlyString holds a pointer to the Detail::StringData.
FlyString itself does not know about String's storage or how to refcount
its Detail::StringData. It defers to String to implement these details.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
Using policy based design `SinglyLinkedList` and
`SinglyLinkedListWithCount` can be combined into one class which takes
a policy to determine how to keep track of the size of the list. The
default policy is to use list iteration to count the items in the list
each time. The `WithCount` form is a different policy which tracks the
size, but comes with the overhead of storing the count and
incrementing/decrementing on each modification.
This model is extensible to have other forms of counting by
implementing only a new policy instead of implementing a totally new
type.
The class is very similar to `CircularDuplexStream` in its behavior.
Main differences are that `CircularBuffer`:
- does not inherit from `AK::Stream`
- uses `ErrorOr` for its API
- is heap allocated (and OOM-Safe)
This patch also add some tests.
`OwnPtrWithCustomDeleter` was a decorator which provided the ability
to add a custom deleter to `OwnPtr` by wrapping and taking the deleter
as a run-time argument to the constructor. This solution means that no
additional space is needed for the `OwnPtr` because it doesn't need to
store a pointer to the deleter, but comes at the cost of having an
extra type that stores a pointer for every instance.
This logic is moved directly into `OwnPtr` by adding a template
argument that is defaulted to the default deleter for the type. This
means that the type itself stores the pointer to the deleter instead
of every instance and adds some type safety by encoding the deleter in
the type itself instead of taking a run-time argument.
DeprecatedString (formerly String) has been with us since the start,
and it has served us well. However, it has a number of shortcomings
that I'd like to address.
Some of these issues are hard if not impossible to solve incrementally
inside of DeprecatedString, so instead of doing that, let's build a new
String class and then incrementally move over to it instead.
Problems in DeprecatedString:
- It assumes string allocation never fails. This makes it impossible
to use in allocation-sensitive contexts, and is the reason we had to
ban DeprecatedString from the kernel entirely.
- The awkward null state. DeprecatedString can be null. It's different
from the empty state, although null strings are considered empty.
All code is immediately nicer when using Optional<DeprecatedString>
but DeprecatedString came before Optional, which is how we ended up
like this.
- The encoding of the underlying data is ambiguous. For the most part,
we use it as if it's always UTF-8, but there have been cases where
we pass around strings in other encodings (e.g ISO8859-1)
- operator[] and length() are used to iterate over DeprecatedString one
byte at a time. This is done all over the codebase, and will *not*
give the right results unless the string is all ASCII.
How we solve these issues in the new String:
- Functions that may allocate now return ErrorOr<String> so that ENOMEM
errors can be passed to the caller.
- String has no null state. Use Optional<String> when needed.
- String is always UTF-8. This is validated when constructing a String.
We may need to add a bypass for this in the future, for cases where
you have a known-good string, but for now: validate all the things!
- There is no operator[] or length(). You can get the underlying data
with bytes(), but for iterating over code points, you should be using
an UTF-8 iterator.
Furthermore, it has two nifty new features:
- String implements a small string optimization (SSO) for strings that
can fit entirely within a pointer. This means up to 3 bytes on 32-bit
platforms, and 7 bytes on 64-bit platforms. Such small strings will
not be heap-allocated.
- String can create substrings without making a deep copy of the
substring. Instead, the superstring gets +1 refcount from the
substring, and it acts like a view into the superstring. To make
substrings like this, use the substring_with_shared_superstring() API.
One caveat:
- String does not guarantee that the underlying data is null-terminated
like DeprecatedString does today. While this was nifty in a handful of
places where we were calling C functions, it did stand in the way of
shared-superstring substrings.
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 patch adds the `USING_AK_GLOBALLY` macro which is enabled by
default, but can be overridden by build flags.
This is a step towards integrating Jakt and AK types.
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.
Because AK/Concepts.h includes AK/Forward.h and concepts cannot be
forward declared, slightly losen the FixedPoint template arguments
so that we can forward declare it in AK/Forward.h
Let's bring this class back, but without the confusing resize() API.
A FixedArray<T> is simply a fixed-size array of T.
The size is provided at run-time, unlike Array<T> where the size is
provided at compile-time.
This changes JsonObject to use the new OrderedHashMap instead of an
extra vector for tracking the insertion order.
This also adds a default value for the KeyTraits template argument in
OrderedHashMap. Furthermore, it fixes two cases where code iterating
over a JsonObject relied on the value argument being copied before
invoking the callback.
All usages of AK::InlineLinkedList have been converted to
AK::IntrusiveList. So it's time to retire our old friend.
Note: The empty white space change in AK/CMakeLists.txt is to
force CMake to re-glob the header files in the AK directory so
incremental build will work when folks git pull this change locally.
Otherwise they'll get errors, because CMake will attempt to install
a file which no longer exists.
This commit makes it possible to instantiate `Vector<T&>` and use it
to store references to `T` in a vector.
All non-pointer observers are made to return the reference, and the
pointer observers simply yield the underlying pointer.
Note that the 'find_*' methods act on the values and not the pointers
that are stored in the vector.
This commit also makes errors in various vector methods much more
readable by directly using requires-clauses on them.
And finally, it should be noted that Vector cannot hold temporaries :^)
Previously ByteBuffer would internally hold a RefPtr to the byte
buffer and would behave like a reference type, i.e. copying a
ByteBuffer would not create a duplicate byte buffer, but rather
two objects which refer to the same internal buffer.
This also changes ByteBuffer so that it has some internal capacity
much like the Vector<T> type. Unlike Vector<T> however a byte
buffer's data may be uninitialized.
With this commit ByteBuffer makes use of the kmalloc_good_size()
API to pick an optimal allocation size for its internal buffer.

These structs can be inconsistent, for example if the amount of microseconds is
negative or larger than 1'000'000. Therefore, they should not be copied as-is.
Use copy_time_from_user instead.
This was weird. It turns out these class were using int indexes and
sizes despite being derived from Vector which uses size_t.
Make the universe right again by using size_t here as well.
All users of this mechanism have been switched to anonymous files and
passing file descriptors with sendfd()/recvfd().
Shbufs got us where we are today, but it's time we say good-bye to them
and welcome a much more idiomatic replacement. :^)
