Instead of creating a PhysicalRegion and then expanding it over and
over as we traverse the memory map on boot, we now compute the final
size of the contiguous physical range up front, and *then* create a
PhysicalRegion object.
Nobody was using this API to request anythign about `PAGE_SIZE`
alignment, so let's get rid of it for now. We can reimplement it if
we end up needing it.
Also note that it wasn't actually used anywhere.
The previous allocator was very naive and kept the state of all pages
in one big bitmap. When allocating, we had to scan through the bitmap
until we found an unset bit.
This patch introduces a new binary buddy allocator that manages the
physical memory pages.
Each PhysicalRegion is divided into zones (PhysicalZone) of 16MB each.
Any extra pages at the end of physical RAM that don't fit into a 16MB
zone are turned into 15 or fewer 1MB zones.
Each zone starts out with one full-sized block, which is then
recursively subdivided into halves upon allocation, until a block of
the request size can be returned.
There are more opportunities for improvement here: the way zone objects
are allocated and stored is non-optimal. Same goes for the allocation
of buddy block state bitmaps.
This fixes a rather frustrating issue during saving a file,
when clicking on a folder (to change the path of saved file)
caused the filename to disappear from the text box.
Threads that don't make syscalls still need to be killed, and we can
do that at any time we want so long the thread is in user mode and
not somehow blocked (e.g. page fault).
This reverts commit 3c3a1726df.
We cannot blindly kill threads just because they're not executing in a
system call. Being blocked (including in a page fault) needs proper
unblocking and potentially kernel stack cleanup before we can mark a
thread as Dying.
Fixes#8691
For debugging purposes, it is very useful to look at a Vector in a
simple list representation. Therefore, the new Formatter for Vector
provides a string representation of the following form:
```
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
```
This requires the content type of Vector to be formattable with default
arguments.
The current implementation ignores width and precision, which may be
accounted for later or passed down to the content formatter.
This is required to make SSE instructions work when building with
Clang. Apparently Clang uses SSE instructions where GCC didn't so
we didn't previously run into this problem.
Unfortunately we can't just use --chown everywhere because only rsync
version 3.1 and newer support it and the default rsync on macOS is
2.6.9.
Fixes#8711.
On macOS with a Finnish keyboard layout, $ is typed with Option+4. While
writing this manpage, I made the mistake of holding Option down a little
too long, as I often do, resulting in the keystroke Option+space. This,
instead of typing a space, types U+00A0 (non-breaking space), which
looks identical on my host terminal. Luckily the Serenity terminal
called me out on it, printing out a question mark instead.
It's a single expression, no do/while needed. This makes assert() work
with the comma operator (assert(foo), assert(bar), assert(baz)).
Found because exactly this is being used somewhere in the guts of LLVM.
This fixes an crash caused by using the type from
FlacSubframeHeader::order (unsigned 8-bit), which after overflowing
the integer, converting it back to u32, and decrementing by one
resulted in accessing an array waaay out of bounds.
This commit un-confuses the many specialisations of AK::Traits, and
makes it work correctly for all integral types.
Prior to this, `AK::Traits<size_t>` would've been instantiating the
base Traits implementation, not `Traits<u32>` or `Traits<u64>`.
