To do this we also need to get rid of LockRefPtrs in the USB code as
well.
Most of the SysFS nodes are statically generated during boot and are not
mutated afterwards.
The same goes for general device code - once we generate the appropriate
SysFS nodes, we almost never mutate the node pointers afterwards, making
locking unnecessary.
Let's put the power_state global node into the /sys/kernel directory,
because that directory represents all global nodes and variables being
related to the Kernel. It's also a mutable node, that is more acceptable
being in the mentioned directory due to the fact that all other files in
the /sys/firmware directory are just firmware blobs and are not mutable
at all.
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.
This enforces us to remove duplicated code across the SysFS code. This
results in great simplification of how the SysFS works now, because we
enforce one way to treat SysFSDirectory objects.
