SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
MemoryManager cannot use the Singleton class because
MemoryManager::initialize is called before the global constructors
are run. That caused the Singleton to be re-initialized, causing
it to create another MemoryManager instance.
Fixes#3226
Unlike DirectoryEntry (which is used when constructing directories),
DirectoryEntryView does not manage storage for file names. Names are
just StringViews.
This is much more suited to the directory traversal API and makes
it easier to implement this in file system classes since they no
longer need to create temporary name copies while traversing.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Using int was a mistake. This patch changes String, StringImpl,
StringView and StringBuilder to use size_t instead of int for lengths.
Obviously a lot of code needs to change as a result of this.
Also added some assertions to DirectoryEntry in case someone tries to
instantiate them with names that would overflow the name buffer.
DirectoryEntry is a crappy data structure, and the name buffer is also
crappy. Added a FIXME about replacing it with something nicer.
Before this patch, the DirectoryEntry::name buffer would overflow if
you did "touch extremely-long-file-name". Duh.
Fixes#538.
This way you can spam small write()s on a file without the kernel writing
to disk every single time. Flushes are included in the FS::sync() operation
and will get triggered regularly by syncd. :^)
