Liav A aaa1de7878 Kernel: Move {Virtual,Physical}Address classes to the Memory directory 2023-06-04 21:32:34 +02:00
Andreas Kling 8bf248a046 Kernel: Make NNRP<PhysicalPage const> possible
This wasn't possible before as ref() and unref() were non-const.

Andreas Kling 2c72d495a3 Kernel: Use RefPtr instead of LockRefPtr for PhysicalPage
I believe this to be safe, as the main thing that LockRefPtr provides
over RefPtr is safe copying from a shared LockRefPtr instance. I've
inspected the uses of RefPtr<PhysicalPage> and it seems they're all
guarded by external locking. Some of it is less obvious, but this is
an area where we're making continuous headway.

Andreas Kling 5a804b9a1d Kernel: Make PhysicalPage::ref() use relaxed memory order
When incrementing a reference count, it should be sufficient to use
relaxed ordering. Note that unref() still uses acquire-release.

Andreas Kling 11eee67b85 Kernel: Make self-contained locking smart pointers their own classes
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.

Andreas Kling 93d98d4976 Kernel: Move Kernel/Memory/ code into Kernel::Memory namespace 2021-08-06 14:05:58 +02:00
Andreas Kling a1d7ebf85a Kernel: Rename Kernel/VM/ to Kernel/Memory/
This directory isn't just about virtual memory, it's about all kinds
of memory management.
