It is only used for AlignedBox which can just directly implement Send
and Sync. Additionally make the Send and Sync impls more restrictive by
requiring the inner type to be Send cq Sync, previously AlignedBox was
always Send and Sync, which is not sound.
Since these are stored in arrays that are typically 512 KiB each
(i.e. which in turn typically store metadata for 128 MiB), they will
certainly be a page-size multiple, and large contiguous allocations are
allowed at least at boot time. Not only is the linked-list allocator
less efficient for that, but this change will also help reduce TLB
overhead.
Since even a very basic ptrace can be nice to have, I thought I would split
the, perhaps rather big, ptrace project up in multiple PRs to make as few
changes as necessary in each. This PR contains the initial registry modifying
bits and only a very basic security measure. Letting this out to the community
should be good for spotting bugs and maybe getting some hype ;)
Most of this was generated by the absolutely extraordinary `cargo fix`
subcommand. There were still 2 errors and a few warnings to patch up,
but compared to the normal 600+ errors, I'd say the fixer did a damn
good job! I'm also amazed that I could still start the VM after this,
I half expected some kinds of runtime failure...
