Instead of just returning nothing, let's return Error or nothing.
This would help later on with error propagation in case of failure
during this method.
This also makes us more paranoid about failure in this method, so when
initializing a DisplayConnector we safely tear down the internal members
of the object. This applies the same for a StorageDevice object, but its
after_inserting method is much smaller compared to the DisplayConnector
overriden method.
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 fixes at least half of our LibC includes in the kernel. The source
of truth for errno codes and their description strings now lives in
Kernel/API/POSIX/errno.h as an enumeration, which LibC includes.
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.
Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)
Instead of doing so in the constructor, let's do immediately after the
constructor, so we can safely pass a reference of a Device, so the
SysFSDeviceComponent constructor can use that object to identify whether
it's a block device or a character device.
This allows to us to not hold a device in SysFSDeviceComponent with a
RefPtr.
Also, we also call the before_removing method in both SlavePTY::unref
and File::unref, so because Device has that method being overrided, it
can ensure the device is removed always cleanly.
This commit converts naked `new`s to `AK::try_make` and `AK::try_create`
wherever possible. If the called constructor is private, this can not be
done, so we instead now use the standard-defined and compiler-agnostic
`new (nothrow)`.
Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.

There's no real system here, I just added it to various functions
that I don't believe we ever want to call after initialization
has finished.
With these changes, we're able to unmap 60 KiB of kernel text
after init. :^)
..and allow implicit creation of KResult and KResultOr from ErrnoCode.
This means that kernel functions that return those types can finally
do "return EINVAL;" and it will just work.
There's a handful of functions that still deal with signed integers
that should be converted to return KResults.
When ProcFS could no longer allocate KBuffer objects to serve calls to
read, it would just return 0, indicating EOF. This then triggered
parsing errors because code assumed it read the file.
Because read isn't supposed to return ENOMEM, change ProcFS to populate
the file data upon file open or seek to the beginning. This also means
that calls to open can now return ENOMEM if needed. This allows the
caller to either be able to successfully open the file and read it, or
fail to open it in the first place.
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
Previously, VFS::open() would only use the passed flags for permission checking
purposes, and Process::sys$open() would set them on the created FileDescription
explicitly. Now, they should be set by VFS::open() on any files being opened,
including files that the kernel opens internally.
This also lets us get rid of the explicit check for whether or not the returned
FileDescription was a preopen fd, and in fact, fixes a bug where a read-only
preopen fd without any other flags would be considered freshly opened (due to
O_RDONLY being indistinguishable from 0) and granted a new set of flags.
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.
This has been a FIXME for a long time. We now apply the provided
read/write permissions to the constructed FileDescription when opening
a File object via File::open().
After reading a bunch of POSIX specs, I've learned that a file descriptor
is the number that refers to a file description, not the description itself.
So this patch renames FileDescriptor to FileDescription, and Process now has
FileDescription* file_description(int fd).
