Andreas Kling f1b5def8fd Kernel: Factor address space management out of the Process class
This patch adds Space, a class representing a process's address space.

- Each Process has a Space.
- The Space owns the PageDirectory and all Regions in the Process.

This allows us to reorganize sys$execve() so that it constructs and
populates a new Space fully before committing to it.

Previously, we would construct the new address space while still
running in the old one, and encountering an error meant we had to do
tedious and error-prone rollback.

Those problems are now gone, replaced by what's hopefully a set of much
smaller problems and missing cleanups. :^)

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
