Because ProcFS will refresh the data upon seek to 0, we can re-use
the same file descriptor. This saves us from having to open it every
time, but it also reduces the odds that we are unable to open a new
file descriptor due to low memory conditions.
This was a goofy kernel API where you could assign an icon_id (int) to
a process which referred to a global shbuf with a 16x16 icon bitmap
inside it.
Instead of this, programs that want to display a process icon now
retrieve it from the process executable instead.
This implements a number of changes related to time:
* If a HPET is present, it is now used only as a system timer, unless
the Local APIC timer is used (in which case the HPET timer will not
trigger any interrupts at all).
* If a HPET is present, the current time can now be as accurate as the
chip can be, independently from the system timer. We now query the
HPET main counter for the current time in CPU #0's system timer
interrupt, and use that as a base line. If a high precision time is
queried, that base line is used in combination with quering the HPET
timer directly, which should give a much more accurate time stamp at
the expense of more overhead. For faster time stamps, the more coarse
value based on the last interrupt will be returned. This also means
that any missed interrupts should not cause the time to drift.
* The default system interrupt rate is reduced to about 250 per second.
* Fix calculation of Thread CPU usage by using the amount of ticks they
used rather than the number of times a context switch happened.
* Implement CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE and use it
for most cases where precise timestamps are not needed.
- Parsing invalid JSON no longer asserts
Instead of asserting when coming across malformed JSON,
JsonParser::parse now returns an Optional<JsonValue>.
- Disallow trailing commas in JSON objects and arrays
- No longer parse 'undefined', as that is a purely JS thing
- No longer allow non-whitespace after anything consumed by the initial
parse() call. Examples of things that were valid and no longer are:
- undefineddfz
- {"foo": 1}abcd
- [1,2,3]4
- JsonObject.for_each_member now iterates in original insertion order
