or vm_cache_ref couldn't be created, instead of cleaning up and returning
an appropriate error.
* vm_cache_ref_create() no returns a status_t instead of the vm_cache_ref
(as that's part of the vm_cache anyway).

* In reserve_boot_loader_ranges() we skip ranges that lie without
the kernel address space (we failed and panic()ed before). The
architecture specific code has to deal with those, if they are
of any importance.
* sAvailableMemoryLock.sem was not set to -1 in vm_init() so code
executed after semaphores were available but before the semaphore
was created caused semaphore 0 to be acquired.

parts, too. Fixed a potential overflow.
* The generic physical page mapper reserves the virtual address range
for the IO space now, so that noone can interfere until an area has
been created. The location of the IO space is no longer fixed; it
didn't look to me like it was necessary for x86, and we definitely
need to be flexible for PPC.

* Fixed several off-by-one comparisons with num_pages.
* vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args() now makes sure the allocated
region lies within the kernel address space (or is at least
>= KERNEL_BASE).
* Simplified one or two patches.

{HAIKU,HOST,TARGET}_KERNEL_PIC_{CC,LINK}FLAGS which define the
compiler/linker flags specifying the kind of position independence
the kernel shall have. For x86 we had and still have -fno-pic, but the
PPC kernel has -fPIE (position independent executable) now, as we
need to relocate it.
* The boot loader relocates the kernel now. Mostly copied the relocation
code from the kernel ELF loader. Almost completely rewrote the PPC
specific relocation code, though. It's more correct and more complete now
(some things are still missing though).
* Added boot platform awareness to the kernel. Moved the generic
Open Firmware code (openfirmware.c/h) from the boot loader to the kernel.
* The kernel PPC serial debug output is sent to the console for the time
being.
* The PPC boot loader counts the CPUs now and allocates the kernel stacks
(made OF device iteration a bit more flexible on the way -- the search
can be restricted to subtree). Furthermore we really enter the kernel...
(Yay! :-) ... and crash in the first dprintf() (in the atomic_set()
called by acquire_spinlock()). kprintf() works, though.

the modified bit set were written back (that's the case when they weren't put into
the modified pages queue yet), they were enqueued into the active queue twice, messing
up the page lists with various effects - this little thing took me busy for the last
few days :-/
* Improved the "page" debugger command: it now prints out much more info, and also lets
you lookup pages via physical address.
* The dump commands are now using kprintf() instead of dprintf().

vm_cache_ref starts with a reference count of 1. When acquiring a vm_cache,
you no longer need to worry if that should go through the vm_store, or not;
as it now always does.
* map_backing_store() no longer needs to play with the vm_cache_ref
references.
* that simplified some code.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now grabs a reference to the cache, if successful.
* better balanced vnode ownership on vnode_store creation (vnode_store
released the vnode before if its creation failed).

this saves 4 bytes per page. To compensate the loss of bytes, the offset is now
stored in page size units, that's enough to address 2^44 or 16 TB (which is now
the maximal supported file size!).
* Renamed vm_page::ppn to physical_page_number.

them apart (this even saves a pointer from vm_virtual_map to its address space)
* aspace -> address_space
* vm_create_address_space() did not check if creating the semaphore succeeded
* Removed team::kaspace - was not really needed (introduced a new vm_kernel_address_space()
function that doesn't grab a reference to the address space)
* Removed vm_address_space::name - it was just a copy of the team name, anyway,
and there is always only one address space per team
* Removed aspace_id - the address space is now using the team_id
* Some cleanup.

written the page, we now do it before, so that it cannot lose any changed data
anymore; it doesn't matter if the page is written to while writing it back, the
worst thing that can happen is that we write the same page twice. Also, we don't
rely on the PAGE_MODIFIED bit anymore, we now check all mappings of that page
to find all modified pages, no matter how far the (currently disabled) page
daemon had come.
Also, destroying an area will now result in writing back changed pages - this
is only really important for memory mapped files, though, and should probably
be avoided for other vm_store types.
Minor cleanup.

has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

There, we need to detect the modified state from the mapping, too - the
vm_page state itself might not be up to date.

pages, ie. they considered the areas to be B_LAZY_LOCK. But that doesn't really make
sense and potentially cause page faults where you wouldn't expect them (and where
it's not a good idea to trigger them).
Reworked display_mem() (used by the dw/db/ds commands in the kernel debugger) to
be a bit more sane, improved formatting, and allows it to work on non-existing
memory without a panic.
The "area" debugger command now also accepts an address (contained by the area)
as argument - and it will now always print out an error message if no matching
area could be found.
Replaced all dprintf() calls to kprintf() calls for the kernel debugger functions.

only a read lock on the inode, or without a lock at all (in case of prefetching) - it
is now using the cache_ref's lock to make sure it's retrieved only once and doesn't
waste/corrupts any memory.
- since that fix made it mandatory to fix write_chunk_into_cache() to not call pages_io()
while holding the cache_ref's lock (was a to-do item before), I changed it to make
that possible.
- It now also supports write-through caches in theory - as there is no way yet to tell
a cache to work this way.
- Optimized for the not so uncommon case of writing the last part of a file that is not
a multiple of the page size - it won't call pages_io() anymore then, but zero the rest
of the page directly.
- vm_page_write_modified() is now calling write_page() without holding the cache_ref's
lock as well.
The updated write_chunk_to_cache() is not so well tested, though, but appears to work
so far.

prevents the system to allocate caches for files that don't use or have
a file cache (ie. only those can be mmap()ed!).
Therefore, cache_prefetch() no longer crashes when trying to prefetch
files without a file cache.
read_into_cache() no longer does anything if the requested size is 0.
Fixed a bug in cache_prefetch_vnode(): if the cache couldn't be retrieved,
it put the vnode, but didn't own it (the caller does).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13904 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Removed vfs_vnode_release_ref(), as vfs_put_vnode() already does the same thing.

into account when remapping the pages read-only; it could have overwritten valid
page mappings this way. This was also the reason for the Terminal to crash - it
does now work as it should, although some keys don't work (like tab completion)).
vm_copy_area() no longer always sets B_KERNEL_WRITE_AREA if no kernel protection
was specified, but mirrors the userland protection (for example, the x86 MMU is
not able to have a page writable in kernel but not in userland). This caused
some areas to be read/write when read-only would have been enough.
vm_copy_area() now panics when vm_copy_on_write_area() fails - that's of course
no real solution, but it's bettern than letting it silently fail.

Renamed the idle thread/stack to start with 1 instead of 0 (first idle thread will
be called "idle thread 1").

vm_delete_areas() is now using this information to print out a warning
in this case (so that a missing vm_put_area() can now be found easier).

following 1152 MB - that area only guarantees that the heap can grow this much before
the application need the memory for something else. And even then, the heap range
is reused from top-to-bottom, allowing for maximum heap usage. Of course, if the
memory after the heap range is not claimed yet, it can still be claimed by the heap,
too. Added new syscall to create the reserved range.
Fixed a bug in vm_delete_areas(): when it removed reserved areas, the area list
could get messed up.
Fixed a bug in resize_area(): resized areas could never be deleted (missing vm_put_area())!
resize_area() now supports reserved regions (but not perfectly yet, see ToDo items).

Changed the handling of B_STACK_AREA types and anonymous vm_areas: now
every area can overcommit if B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA was specified.
B_STACK_AREA areas are still automatically overcommitting, but
B_KERNEL_STACK_AREA areas no longer.
vm_store_anonymous_noswap.c now only tests for guard pages if there were
any specified which is only done for B_STACK_AREA areas.
