This change has many improvements:
- We don't use `LockRefPtr` to hold instances of many base devices as
with the DeviceManagement class. Instead, we have a saner pattern of
holding them in a `NonnullRefPtr<T> const`, in a small-text footprint
class definition in the `Device.cpp` file.
- The awkwardness of using `::the()` each time we need to get references
to mostly-static objects (like the Event queue) in runtime is now gone
in the migration to using the `Device` class.
- Acquiring a device feel more obvious because we use now the Device
class for this method. The method name is improved as well.
We used to allocate major numbers quite randomly, with no common place
to look them up if needed.
This commit is changing that by placing all major number allocations
under a new C++ namespace, in the API/MajorNumberAllocation.h file.
We also add the foundations of what is needed before we can publish this
information (allocated numbers for block and char devices) to userspace.
There is simply no advantage with putting both virtual console devices
and serial TTY devices on the same major number.
Putting them on separate major numbers greatly simplifies the allocation
mechanism on the DeviceMapper code, because it no longer needs to
calculate offsets of minor numbers, and should start from number 0 to
theoretically infinite amount of device nodes.
We don't really need it, and the entire functionality can be organically
intergrated into the VirtualConsole class, to switch between the Virtual
consoles, and manage initialization of all consoles in the global array.
These changes are compatible with clang-format 16 and will be mandatory
when we eventually bump clang-format version. So, since there are no
real downsides, let's commit them now.
Automarks are similar to bookmarks placed by the terminal, allowing the
user to selectively remove a single command and its output from the
terminal scrollback.
This commit implements a single way to add marks: automatically placing
them when the shell becomes interactive.
To make sure the shell behaves correctly after its expected prompt
position changes, the terminal layer forces a resize event to be passed
to the shell on such (possibly) partial clears; this also has the nice
side effect of fixing the disappearing prompt on the preexisting "clear
including history" action: Fixes#4192.
