Previously, we converted colors to their RGB values immediately when
they were set. This meant that their semantic meaning was lost, we could
not tell a precise RGB value apart from a named/indexed color.
The new way of storing colors will allow us to retain this information,
so we can change a color scheme on the fly, and previously emitted text
will also be affected.
Previously we'd incur the costs for a function call via the PLT even
for the most trivial ref-count actions like increasing/decreasing the
reference count.
By moving the code to the header file we allow the compiler to inline
this code into the caller's function.
This avoids allocations in the VMObject constructor. The number of
inline elements was determined empirically and covers most common cases
including LibC malloc.
This doesn't change anything because our global operator delete also
calls kfree() - however instead of relying on this implementation
detail this makes this dependency more explicit.
The user is supposed to hold these in an OwnPtr but bad things would
happen if the user takes these out of the OwnPtr so let's make the
class non-copyable and non-movable.
Now that Region::name() has been changed to return a StringView we
can't rely on keeping a copy of the region's name past the region's
destruction just by holding a copy of the StringView.
The latest version of the ACPI specification (6.4) now has a web
version, making it possible to link directly to the relevant sections
of the specification.
I added links to the stuff that was easy to find.
The spec can be found here: https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.4/index.html
The changes in commit 20743e8 removed the s_max_virtual_consoles
constant and hardcoded the number of consoles to 4. But in
PS2KeyboardDevice the keyboard shortcuts for switching to consoles were
hardcoded to 6.
I reintroduced the constant and added it in both places.
There are a bunch of places like drivers which for all intense and
purposes can't really fail allocation during boot, and if they do
fail we should crash immediately.
This change adds `KString::must_create_uninitialized(..)` as well as
`KString::must_create(..)` for use during early boot initialization of
the Kernel. They enforce that they are only used during early boot.
The current CommandLine API unfortunately allocates Strings just to
query the presence of arguments on the command line. Switch the API
to use StringView instead to reduce the number of String allocations.
There were a few cases where we could end up logging profiling events
before or after the associated process or thread exists in the profile:
After enabling profiling we might end up with CPU samples before we
had a chance to synthesize process/thread creation events.
After a thread exits we would still log associated kmalloc/kfree
events. Instead we now just ignore those events.
This adds two new arguments to the thread_exit system call which let
a thread unmap an arbitrary VM range on thread exit. LibPthread
uses this functionality to unmap the thread stack.
Fixes#7267.
This change allows the controller to utilize interrupts even if no
device was connected to a port when we initialize it, so we can support
hotplug events now.
This was proved to be a problematic option. I tested this option on
bare metal AHCI controller, and if we didn't reset the controller, the
firmware (SeaBIOS) could leave the controller state not clean, so an
plugged device signature was in place although the specific port had no
plugged device after rebooting.
Therefore, we need to ensure we use the controller in a clean state
always.
In addition to that, the Complete option was renamed to Aggressive, as
it represents better the consequences of choosing this option.
The allocation_size_in_chunks field contains the bytes necessary for
the AllocationHeader so we need to subtract that when we try to figure
out how much user data we have to copy.
Fixes#7549.
- Make Region::create_kernel_only OOM safe.
- Make Region::create_user_accessible mostly OOM safe, there are still
some tendrils to untangle before it and be completely fixed.
