d93ed09564 Improved safety for user memory accesses.
* Changed IS_USER_ADDRESS to check an address using USER_BASE and
  USER_SIZE, rather than just !IS_KERNEL_ADDRESS. The old check would
  allow user buffers to point into the physical memory map area.
* Added an unmapped hole at the end of the bottom half of the address
  space which catches buffers that cross into the uncanonical address
  region. This also removes the need to check for uncanonical return
  addresses in the syscall handler, it is no longer possible for the
  return address to be uncanonical under normal circumstances. All
  cases in which the return address might be changed by the kernel
  are still handled via the IRET path.

0536ff83e9 * IS_KERNEL_ADDRESS(): Avoid the check against KERNEL_BASE or KERNEL_TOP, if
that's the limit of the addr_t domain anyway.
* Defined IS_USER_ADDRESS() to !IS_KERNEL_ADDRESS(), which semantically it was
  already, just more verbosely.

Should, in the future, avoid hundreds of useless Coverity tickets where the
macros are used.

01f964efeb Introduce a gSystemShutdown flag to be able to check if system is shutting down. ACPI Embedded Controller now uses polling when it is set to true.
This might help with ACPI shutdown issues, if not this change can be reverted. Not verified as it works on all my machines even without this.

ea2abd110b * Renamed the ROUNDOWN macro to ROUNDDOWN. Also changed the implementation of
ROUNDUP to use '*' and '/' -- the compiler will optimize that for powers of
  two anyway and this implementation works for other numbers as well.
* The thread::fault_handler use in C[++] code was broken with gcc 4. At least
  when other functions were invoked. Trying to trick the compiler wasn't a
  particularly good idea anyway, since the next compiler version could break
  the trick again. So the general policy is to use the fault handlers only in
  assembly code where we have full control. Changed that for x86 (save for the
  vm86 mode, which has a similar mechanism), but not for the other
  architectures.
* Introduced fault_handler, fault_handler_stack_pointer, and fault_jump_buffer
  fields in the cpu_ent structure, which must be used instead of
  thread::fault_handler in the kernel debugger. Consequently user_memcpy() must
  not be used in the kernel debugger either. Introduced a debug_memcpy()
  instead.
* Introduced debug_call_with_fault_handler() function which calls a function
  in a setjmp() and fault handler context. The architecture specific backend
  arch_debug_call_with_fault_handler() has only been implemented for x86 yet.
* Introduced debug_is_kernel_memory_accessible() for use in the kernel
  debugger. It determines whether a range of memory can be accessed in the
  way specified. The architecture specific back end
  arch_vm_translation_map_is_kernel_page_accessible() has only been implemented
  for x86 yet.
* Added arch_debug_unset_current_thread() (only implemented for x86) to unset
  the current thread pointer in the kernel debugger. When entering the kernel
  debugger we do some basic sanity checks of the currently set thread structure
  and unset it, if they fail. This allows certain commands (most importantly
  the stack trace command) to avoid accessing the thread structure.
* x86: When handling a double fault, we do now install a special handler for
  page faults. This allows us to gracefully catch faulting commands, even if
  e.g. the thread structure is toast.

We are now in much better shape to deal with double faults. Hopefully avoiding
the triple faults that some people have been experiencing on their hardware
and ideally even allowing to use the kernel debugger normally.

57f2b5a013 * Changed the meaning of the {KERNEL,USER}_STACK_SIZE macros to not
include the guard pages. Adjusted the kernel and boot loader code
  accordingly -- the guard pages size is added/not removed respectively.
  The stack size passed to _kern_spawn_thread() is now the actually usable
  size, and it is no longer possible to specify a size smaller than or
  equal to the guard pages size.
* vm_create_anonymous_area(): Precommit two pages maximum -- a stack with
  only one page usable size obviously doesn't need two pages.

6b202f4e3d * Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
  several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
  private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
  build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
  may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
  Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
  kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
  headers/private/shared/util).

4c49f2056b * Changed _kern_spawn_thread() and create_thread(): Instead of individual
arguments they get a single thread_creation_attributes structure now.
* Added stack_address and stack_size to thread_creation_attributes,
  which allow to specify the stack size or the stack to be used for the
  new user thread.

aeb67bdb8f Increased kernel stack size by another page. The network boot is more
stack hungry and would previously hit the stack limit and thus cause a
double fault. Hopefully we'll be able to reduce the stack foot print at
some time.
PXE boot does now fully work.

77bf99deb0 fixed the way accept() works in regards to the cookie pointer. It is no longer visible to userspace, we pass the fd instead. Also renamed kernel's shutdown() to system_shutdown as it collides with Posix's shutdown().

9ebc403c77 Renamed KSTACK_SIZE to KERNEL_STACK_SIZE, STACK_SIZE to USER_STACK_SIZE,
MAIN_THREAD_STACK_SIZE to USER_MAIN_THREAD_STACK_SIZE.
Added support for stack overflow debugging: in userspace, the lower (on x86)
4 pages will be used to detect stack overflows. It's disabled for kernel
stacks by default.

20dde76256 I've added a MAIN_THREAD_STACK_SIZE definition, and put the corresponding
BeOS values commented beneath it.
For now MAIN_THREAD_STACK_SIZE is the same as STACK_SIZE.

8f3a4e7dd4 Cleaned up kernel.h; the insque(), remque() functions are now in a separate
header kqueue.h - together with their implementation which was in module.c
Added a new CHECK_USER_ADDRESS() macro that can be used to check if a
user address points into the kernel.

4e3c12c0af Moved <types.h> to <sys/types.h>.
Removed dependencies on arch/x86/types.h - this file is not really used
anymore, now. Might prevent compiling on Windows, though.
Replaced "int" with "int32" for the id types.
Removed some stuff from ktypes.h because it didn't belong there.
