Instead of getting credentials from Process::current(), we now require
that they be provided as input to the various VFS functions.
This ensures that an atomic set of credentials is used throughout an
entire VFS operation.
By protecting all the RefPtr<Custody> objects that may be accessed from
multiple threads at the same time (with spinlocks), we remove the need
for using LockRefPtr<Custody> (which is basically a RefPtr with a
built-in spinlock.)
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.
Implement futimes() in terms of utimensat(). Now, utimensat() strays
from POSIX compliance because it also accepts a combination of a file
descriptor of a regular file and an empty path. utimensat() then uses
this file descriptor instead of the path to update the last access
and/or modification time of a file. That being said, its prior behavior
remains intact.
With the new behavior of utimensat(), `path` must point to a valid
string; given a null pointer instead of an empty string, utimensat()
sets `errno` to `EFAULT` and returns a failure.
