Instead of processes themselves getting scheduled to finish dying,
let's have a Finalizer process that wakes up whenever someone is dying.
This way we can do all kinds of lock-taking in process cleanup without
risking reentering the scheduler.
Instead of cowboy-calling the VESA BIOS in the bootloader, find the emulator
VGA adapter by scanning the PCI bus. Then set up the desired video mode by
sending device commands.
Now the filesystem is generated on-the-fly instead of manually adding and
removing inodes as processes spawn and die.
The code is convoluted and bloated as I wrote it while sleepless. However,
it's still vastly better than the old ProcFS, so I'm committing it.
I also added /proc/PID/fd/N symlinks for each of a process's open fd's.
This required a fair bit of plumbing. The CharacterDevice::close() virtual
will now be closed by ~FileDescriptor(), allowing device implementations to
do custom cleanup at that point.
One big problem remains: if the master PTY is closed before the slave PTY,
we go into crashy land.
You can now open as many PTY pairs as you like. Well, it's actually capped
at 8 for now, but it's just a constant and trivial to change.
Unregistering a PTY pair is untested because I didn't want to start
mucking with that in Terminal right now.
The system can finally idle without burning CPU. :^)
There are some issues with scheduling making the mouse cursor sloppy
and unresponsive that need to be dealt with.
When you open /dev/ptmx, you get a file descriptor pointing to one of the
available MasterPTY's. If none are available, you get an EBUSY.
This makes it possible to open multiple (up to 4) Terminals. :^)
To support this, I also added a CharacterDevice::open() that gets control
when VFS is opening a CharacterDevice. This is useful when we want to return
a custom FileDescriptor like we do here.
Userspace programs can now open /dev/gui_events and read a stream of GUI_Event
structs one at a time.
I was stuck on a stupid problem where we'd reenter Scheduler::yield() due to
having one of the has_data_available_for_reading() implementations using locks.
Process page directories can now actually be freed. This could definitely
be implemented in a nicer, less wasteful way, but this works for now.
The spawn stress test can now run for a lot longer but eventually dies
due to kmalloc running out of memory.
Also use a simple array of { dword, const char* } for the KSyms and put the
whole shebang in kmalloc_eternal() memory. This was a fugly source of
kmalloc perma-frag.
Pass the file name in a stack-allocated buffer instead of using an AK::String
when iterating directories. This dramatically reduces the amount of cycles
spent traversing the filesystem.
