We stopped using gettimeofday() in Core::EventLoop a while back,
in favor of clock_gettime() for monotonic time.
Maintaining an optimization for a syscall we're not using doesn't make
a lot of sense, so let's go back to the old-style sys$gettimeofday().

Suggested by Sergey. The currently running Thread and Process are now
Thread::current and Process::current respectively. :^)

Before putting itself back on the wait queue, the finalizer task will
now check if there's more work to do, and if so, do it first. :^)
This patch also puts a bunch of process/thread debug logging behind
PROCESS_DEBUG and THREAD_DEBUG since it was unbearable to debug this
stuff with all the spam.

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.

Lazy FPU restore is well known to be vulnerable to timing attacks,
and eager restore is a lot simpler anyway, so let's just do it eagerly.

The idea of all processes reliably having a main thread was nice in
some ways, but cumbersome in others. More importantly, it didn't match
up with POSIX thread semantics, so let's move away from it.
This thread gets rid of Process::main_thread() and you now we just have
a bunch of Thread objects floating around each Process.
When the finalizer nukes the last Thread in a Process, it will also
tear down the Process.
There's a bunch of more things to fix around this, but this is where we
get started :^)

|
This gets rid of the special "Lurking" thread state and replaces it
with a generic WaitQueue :^)

If we receive an IRQ while the idle task is running, prevent it from
re-halting the CPU after the IRQ handler returns.
Instead have the idle task yield to the scheduler, so we can see if
the IRQ has unblocked something.

Each Function is a heap allocation, so let's make an effort to avoid
doing that during scheduling. Because of header dependencies, I had to
put the runnables iteration helpers in Thread.h, which is a bit meh but
at least this cuts out all the kmalloc() traffic in pick_next().
|
|
This way, we can change how the scheduler works without having to change Thread too.
|

These types can be picked up by including <AK/Types.h>:
* u8, u16, u32, u64 (unsigned)
* i8, i16, i32, i64 (signed)

Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.

Hook this up in Terminal so that the '\a' character generates a beep.
Finally emit an '\a' character in the shell line editing code when
backspacing at the start of the line.

The scheduler now operates on threads, rather than on processes.
Each process has a main thread, and can have any number of additional
threads. The process exits when the main thread exits.
This patch doesn't actually spawn any additional threads, it merely
does all the plumbing needed to make it possible. :^)
|
|
Since we know who's holding the lock, and we're gonna have to yield anyway,
we can just ask the scheduler to donate any remaining ticks to that process.
|
|
Instead of processes themselves getting scheduled to finish dying,
let's have a Finalizer process that wakes up whenever someone is dying.
This way we can do all kinds of lock-taking in process cleanup without
risking reentering the scheduler.
|
|
Also add assertion in Lock that the scheduler isn't currently active.
I've been seeing occasional fuckups that I suspect might be someone called
by the scheduler trying to take a busy lock.
|

It automagically computes %CPU usage based on the number of times a process
has been scheduled between samples. The colonel task is used as idle timer.
This is pretty cool. :^)

For dead orphans, the scheduler calls reap().
|
|
This is very mechanical.
