Andreas Kling d96a44a738 Kernel: Avoid transient kmalloc heap allocations in sys$select()
Dynamic Vector allocations in sys$select() were showing up in the
full-system profile and since there will never be more than FD_SETSIZE
file descriptors to worry about, we can confidently add enough inline
capacity to this Vector that it never has to kmalloc.

To compensate for the increased stack usage, reduce the size of the
FDInfo struct while we're here. :^)

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
