2021-08-07	Kernel: Move SpinLock.h into Locking/	Jean-Baptiste Boric

2021-08-06	Kernel: Add convenience values to the Memory::Region::Access enum	Andreas Kling
	Instead of `Memory::Region::Access::Read \| Memory::Region::AccessWrite` you can now say `Memory::Region::Access::ReadWrite`.
2021-08-06	Kernel: Move Kernel/Memory/ code into Kernel::Memory namespace	Andreas Kling

2021-07-08	Everywhere: Mark debug-only functions `[[maybe_unused]]`	Daniel Bertalan
	These functions are only used from within `dbgln_if` calls, so in certain build configurations, they go unused. Similarly to variables, we now signal to the compiler that we understand that these are not always in use.
2021-06-25	Kernel: Add VirtIOGPU graphics device	Sahan Fernando

2021-06-25	Kernel: Abstract FramebufferConsole away from contiguous physical range	Sahan Fernando
	Currently, Kernel::Graphics::FramebufferConsole is written assuming that the underlying framebuffer memory exists in physically contiguous memory. There are a bunch of framebuffer devices that would need to use the components of FramebufferConsole (in particular access to the kernel bitmap font rendering logic). To reduce code duplication, framebuffer console has been split into two parts, the abstract GenericFramebufferConsole class which does the rendering, and the ContiguousFramebufferConsole class which contains all logic related to managing the underling vm object. Also, a new flush method has been added to the class, to support devices that require an extra flush step to render.
2021-06-24	Kernel: Move special sections into Sections.h	Hendiadyoin1
	This also removes a lot of CPU.h includes infavor for Sections.h
2021-06-03	Kernel: Support new lines when doing critical printing	Liav A
	If we are printing strings in the critical path, handling new lines require us to break abstraction a bit to print new lines. Fixes #7562.
2021-06-03	Kernel/Graphics: Remove unused overloaded write methods of Console	Liav A
	If we happen to print a string, we could use a StringView instead. For now, let's remove them entirely.
2021-05-21	Kernel: Fix framebuffer resolution modesetting after boot	Liav A
	If we tried to change the resolution before of this patch, we triggered a kernel crash due to mmaping the framebuffer device again. Therefore, on mmaping of the framebuffer device, we create an entire new set of VMObjects and Regions for the new settings. Then, when we change the resolution, the framebuffersconsole needs to be updated with the new resolution and also to be refreshed with the new settings. To ensure we handle both shrinking of the resolution and growth of it, we only copy the right amount of available data from the cells Region.
2021-05-17	Kernel/Graphics: Be more consistent about arguments passing	Liav A
	This fixes a bug that was reported on this discord server by @ElectrodeYT - due to the confusion of passing arguments in different orders, we messed up and triggered a page fault due to faulty sizes.
2021-05-16	Kernel/Graphics + SystemServer: Support text mode properly	Liav A
	As we removed the support of VBE modesetting that was done by GRUB early on boot, we need to determine if we can modeset the resolution with our drivers, and if not, we should enable text mode and ensure that SystemServer knows about it too. Also, SystemServer should first check if there's a framebuffer device node, which is an indication that text mode was not even if it was requested. Then, if it doesn't find it, it should check what boot_mode argument the user specified (in case it's self-test). This way if we try to use bochs-display device (which is not VGA compatible) and request a text mode, it will not honor the request and will continue with graphical mode. Also try to print critical messages with mininum memory allocations possible. In LibVT, We make the implementation flexible for kernel-specific methods that are implemented in ConsoleImpl class.
