* its own heap allocator instead of cbuf - this makes cbuf superfluous, and I
therefore removed it from the kernel. The heap is swappable, so lifts the
kernel's resource usage a bit. In the future, the heap should grow as well;
right now it should be at least as good as before.
* it no longer uses spinlocks, but just mutexes now for better scalability - it
was not usable with interrupts turned off anyway (due to its semaphore usage).
* it no longer uses semaphores, but condition variables.
* Needed to move the port initialization to a later point, as swappable memory
wasn't usable that early.
* All ports test are still passing, hopefully I didn't mess anything up :-)

after all CPUs have been queried for their features. On SMP machines
sysenter/sysexit weren't used before due to the non-boot CPUs appearing not
to have the feature.

* We started the "main2" thread too late. Since the scheduler was already
started on all CPUs, the idle thread could wait (for a mutex) while
spawing the "main2" thread. This violated the assumption in the scheduler
that all idle threads would always be ready or running. We now create the
thread while the kernel runs still single-threaded.
* scheduler_start() is now invoked with interrupts still disabled. We enable
them after the function returns. This prevents scheduler_reschedule() from
potentially being invoked before scheduler_start().

implementations that can be used by subsystems that want to have a pretty
standard service. Only the latter is really complete, though.
* The notification manager is now available earlier in the boot process.
* Added notifications to teams/ports (only add/remove).
* The network notification implementation is now using the
DefaultUserNotificationService.

scheduler_set_thread_priority(). Setting the thread priority was the
only situation in which it was used.
* Renamed scheduler.cpp to scheduler_simple.cpp.
* The scheduler functions are no longer called directly. Instead there's
an operation vector now, which is initialized at kernel init time.
This allows for picking the most suitable scheduler for the machine
(e.g. a non-SMP scheduler on a non-SMP machine).

been mounted, before anyone could try to load any modules from it.
Also pass it a flag whether the boot volume is where the boot loader
pre-loaded the modules from.
* module_init_post_boot_device() changes the pre-loaded module image
paths to normalized boot volume paths, now. Got rid of the code in
register_preloaded_module_image() which tried something like this.
* Changed module image ref counting. A referenced module has single
reference to its image, which is released when the module becomes
unreferenced.
* get_module() for a reference module will not try to re-get and re-set
the module's image anymore. That could lead to a similar module (from
different paths) being loaded at the same time. A module from a new
file can only be loaded when the old one has been put completely.
* Simplified B_KEEP_ALIVE module handling a bit. When the module is
initialized, we add another reference, which we'll never free. Thus
the module remains loaded without special handling. Removed
module_image::keep_loaded. A B_KEEP_ALIVE module remains referenced
and thus its image remains referenced, too.
* Removed module::file, a cached path to the module's image. An
optimization that wouldn't work with multiple root directories for
modules (/boot/beos/..., /boot/common/...) or when module files were
moved. get_module() does now always search the image file, when the
module is still unreferenced. This should be a bit slower than before,
but I didn't notice any difference in VMware at least. If it turns out
to be a problem we could introduce a more intelligent cache that stays
up to date by using node monitoring.

various system information.
* Implemented retrieving some VM stats via this call.
* The VM now maintains a page fault counter, and sets system_info::page_faults
accordingly.
* Added a (pretty simple) "vmstat" command line app.
* Minor cleanup.

for message queue
* Removed unnecessary header Vector.h
* Removed HasSemaphoreSet method: since there will be an IPC table for each
subsystem, if a key exist, it already has a semaphore set associated
with it

now a lot earlier.
* That makes it now possible to use modules pretty early in the kernel (like
before timer_init(), or int_init_post_vm()).

* Keep track of the stack space actually allocated for the cache and let
Write() fail when we've already allocated as much as reserved.
* Added second phase of swap initialization (swap_init_post_modules())
which reads the virtual memory driver settings and creates/resizes a
swap file. ATM truncate() is used to resize the swap file, but that is
a bit slow. We should probably introduce a VFS function to use BFS's
fast method.
This should make swap support work somewhat, but since swap space is
never freed ATM this would be a relatively short pleasure. Still
disabled by default.

by myself:
* renamed xsi_do_undo() to xsi_sem_undo() (there is more to XSI than sems).
* Fixed coding style issues in sys/sem.h and xsi_sem.cpp.
* Added _kern_*() syscall prototypes to syscalls.h.
* Added a TODO in xsi_sem.cpp and xsi_semaphore.h about moving union semun to
a shared header.
* Made the team::xsi_sem_undo_requests int32 - due to padding, it would have
needed 4 bytes anyway; please always use specific types over int/short/long.
* xsi_sem_undo() now checks if it needs to do anything - the calls in team.cpp
no longer needs to do this.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26676 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Init swap support in main().
* Added "bool swappable" parameter to
VMCacheFactory::CreateAnonymousCache(). A cache supporting swapping
is created when true. Adjusted invocations accordingly.
* The page writer does now write non-locked swappable pages (when
memory is low).
* Fixed header guard of VMAnonymousNoSwapCache.h.
* Swap support is compiled conditionally, controlled by the
ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT in src/system/kernel/vm/VMAnonymousCache.h. It is
disabled ATM. Since no swap files are added, it wouldn't have much
effect anyway.

introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.

it clear when boot_splash_set_stage() must no longer be used.
* Free the memory associated with the kernel args before starting the
init process. Unlike the original TODO stated there are quite a few
more users of the kernel args (including the boot splash screen),
hence we can't really do that earlier, unless we decide to copy the
data over to the kernel heap.

and remove the then unneeded mutex_init() for them.
* Remove the workaround for allowing uninitialized mutexes on kernel startup.
As they are all initialized statically through the MUTEX_INITIALIZER() now
this is not needed anymore.
* An uninitialized mutex will now cause a panic when used to find possibly
remaining cases.
* Remove now unnecessary driver_settings_init_post_sem() function.

B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25752 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Moved devfs from fs/ to device_manager/, and separated the legacy driver
support from it.
* Removed fast_log module.
* There are a couple of (temporary) regressions, though:
- legacy SATA and ISA IDE support is disabled, the drivers haven't been
ported yet.
- The not yet used ATA bus manager hasn't been ported yet, either.
- AHCI changes have not been tested.
- the listdev command has been removed from the build (as it currently
doesn't work anymore).
- device manager generated IDs currently are not freed anymore when a device
node is removed.
- generic drivers can't yet use the new driver architecture.
- simple busses that do not support device types won't work yet.
- legacy driver publishing/unpublishing (ie. what USB needs) has not been
tested, and may be broken.

* Use find_directory() to construct the Bootscript path.
