Instead, allow userspace to decide on the coredump directory path. By
default, SystemServer sets it to the /tmp/coredump directory, but users
can now change this by writing a new path to the sysfs node at
/sys/kernel/variables/coredump_directory, and also to read this node to
check where coredumps are currently generated at.
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.
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.
Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)
When a process with a large heap crashes (e.g WebContent), it gets very
cumbersome to dump out a huge amount of memory.
In the vast majority of cases, we're only interested in generating a
nice backtrace from the coredump, so let's have the kernel skip over
userspace heap regions when dumping memory for now.
This is not ideal, and almost a little bit ugly, but it does make
investigating 500 MiB WebContent crashes significantly easier for now.
Instead of creating a bunch of ByteBuffers and concatenating them to
generate the "notes" segment, we now simply create a KBufferBuilder
and tell each of the notes generator helpers to write into the builder.
This allows the code to flow more naturally, with some bonus additional
error propagation. :^)
