* Moved IRQ table reading much earlier (before starting to program the I/O
APIC), though it currently fails, possibly because the device manager isn't
up yet, and there is no embedded controller driver.
* The kernel now enables I/O APICs by default, but the boot loader disables
them - you can now enable them using the safe mode menu, but it currently
won't have any (positive) effect.

* Since using the I/O APIC is disabled by default, I've removed the "return"
that prevented its use when enabled. Let's see if it already does anything.
* Adapted other arch_int.cpp with a bit of cleanup.

The O_CLOEXEC open mode wasn't actually set in the close-on-exec bitmap causing
all files opened with O_CLOEXEC (like done in the storage kit classes) to still
be inherited. This caused for example to be unable to unmount volumes when
opening apps while Tracker touched some files (i.e. copying some large files)
since these apps would inherit the file descriptor and therefore keep the
volume busy.

* The DebugServer now uses this flag by default.
* Added TODO comment: the default debugger should already be able to set a flag
like this in order to close a race condition between dropping a thread into
the debugger and setting the flag.
* Cleaned up the debug_server sources a bit.

* debug_{mem,strl}cpy():
- Added "team" parameter for specifying the address space the address are
to be interpreted in.
- When the standard memcpy() (with fault handler) fails, fall back to
vm_debug_copy_page_memory().
* Added debug_is_debugged_team(): Predicate returning true, if the supplied
team_id refers to the same team debug_get_debugged_thread() belongs to.
* Added DebuggedThreadSetter class for scope-based debug_set_debugged_thread().
Made use of it in several debugger functions.
* print_demangled_call() (x86): Fixed unsafe memory access.
Allows KDL stack traces to work correctly again, even if the page daemon has
already unmapped the concerned pages.

interrupts (MSI).
* Add the remaining IDT entries and redirection functions in the interrupt code.
* Make the PIC end_of_interrupt() return a result to indicate whether the vector
was handled by this PIC. If it isn't we now issue a apic_end_of_interrupt()
in the assumption of apic local interrupt, MSI or IPI. This also removes
the need for the gUsingIOAPIC global and doing manual apic_end_of_interrupt()
calls in the SMP and timer code.

* Removed rounding up the end address to page alignment. It's not necessary
and could cause an overflow.
* Fixed possible infinite loop triggered by a rare race condition: When two
threads of a team were accessing the same unmapped page at the same time
each would trigger a page fault. One thread would map the page again, the
second would wait until the first one was done and update the page
protection (unnecessarily but harmlessly). If the first thread accessed the
page again at an unfortunate time, it would implicitly change the
accessed/dirty flags of the page's PTE, which was a situation the loop in
Protect() didn't consider and thus run forever.
Seen the problem twice today in form of an app server freeze.

decide.

locks.
* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
(it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
operations, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@36158 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added new thread flag THREAD_FLAGS_ALWAYS_RESTART_SYSCALL. If set, it forces
syscall restart even when a signal handler without SA_RESTART was invoked.
* Fixed sigwait(): If one of requested signals wasn't already pending it would
never wake up. Also, the syscall always needs to be restarted, if interrupted
by another signal.
* Renamed a bunch of the POSIX signal function implementations which did return
an error code directly (instead via errno). Added correct POSIX functions
where needed.

* lock_memory_etc(): On error the VMAreaWiredRange object could be leaked.
* [un]lock_memory_etc(): Call VMArea::Unwire() with the cache locked and
explicitly delete the range object after unlocking the cache to avoid
potential deadlocks.

Since the requirement is that the area's top cache is locked, allocating
memory isn't allowed.
* lock_memory_etc(): Create the VMAreaWiredRange object explicitly before
locking the area's top cache.
Fixes#5680 (deadlocks when using the slab as malloc() backend).

* _user_map_file(), _user_unmap_memory(): Verify that the address (if given) is
page aligned.
* Reworked memory locking (wiring):
- VMArea does now have a list of wired memory ranges and supports waiting for
a range to be removed.
- vm_soft_fault():
- Added "wirePage" parameter that, if given, makes the function wire the
page and return it.
- Added "wiredRange" parameter (for calls from lock_memory_etc()) and made
sure we never unmap wired pages. This could e.g. happen when a page from a
lower cache was read-mapped and a write fault occurred. Now in such a
situation the function waits for the page to be unwired and restarts.
- All functions that manipulate areas in a way that could affect wired ranges
do now either require the caller to make sure there are no wired ranges in
the way or do that themselves. Added a few wait_if_*_is_wired() helper
functions for that purpose.
- lock_memory_etc():
- Does now also work correctly when the range spans more than one area.
- Adds VMAreaWiredRanges to the affected VMAreas and retains an address
space reference (so that the address space won't be deleted as long as a
wired range exists).
- Resolved TODO: The area's caches are now locked when
increment_page_wired_count() is called.
- Resolved TODO: The race condition due to missing locking after looking up
the page mapping is now prevented. We hold the cache locks (in case the
page is already mapped) and the new vm_soft_fault() parameter allows us
to get the page wired.
- unlock_memory_etc(): Changes symmetrical to those in lock_memory_etc() and
resolved all TODOs.

Added fields for temporary storage of the debug registers dr6 and dr7 to the
arch_cpu_info structure. The actual registers are stored at the beginning of
x86_exit_user_debug_at_kernel_entry() and read in
x86_handle_debug_exception().
The problem was that x86_exit_user_debug_at_kernel_entry() itself overwrote
dr7 and, if kernel breakpoints were enabled, dr6 could be overwritten anytime
after. So x86_handle_debug_exception() would find incorrect values in the
registers (definitely in dr7) and thus interpret the detected debug condition
incorrectly. Usually watchpoints were recognized as breakpoints.

* Call arch_debug_save_registers() on all CPUs when entering the kernel
debugger.
* Added debug_get_debug_registers() to return a specified CPU's saved
registers.
* x86:
- Replaced the previous arch_debug_save_registers() implementation. Disabled
getting the registers via the gdb interface for the time being.
- Fixed the "sc", "call", and "calling" commands to also work for threads
running on another CPU.

* Print the initial stack trace safely, i.e. in a setjmp() + fault handler
environment.
* Disable pagination while executing the executing the panic() commands. This
way even when it is not possible to use the keyboard we get the full output.
* Added "panic_commands" kernel debugger command, to execute the panic()
commands again (with pagination enabled).

repeatedly. It worked only on certain architectures correctly before.
* Changed the panic() semantics a bit: When the format contains the
(hopefully unusual enough) string "@!" only the part before it is
considered to belong to the panic message. The part after it is interpreted
as a command line to be executed directly after entering KDL. This way it
is possible to provide helpful command invocations only developers somewhat
familiar with the subsystem might come up with. E.g.:
panic("dec_vnode_ref_count: called on busy vnode %p"
"@! vnode -p %p; mount _mount", vnode, vnode);

* Extended open() and open_from() to support O_CREAT to create files.
open_from() has got an optional "permissions" parameter for that purpose.
* Fixed errno. It would crash when being used. Also changed the POSIX functions
to return their error code via errno as expected.
* Added writev().
* FAT file system:
- Added support for reading long file names.
- Added support for creating files (8.3 name only) and writing to them.
- Enabled scanning partitions with it.
* Boot loader menu:
- Enabled the "Reboot" menu item unconditionally.
- Added "Save syslog from previous session" menu item to the debug menu.
Currently saving the syslog to FAT32 volumes is supported.

* The kernel syslog ring buffer is no longer emptied by the syslog sender
thread. Instead we only drop the oldest data from the buffer when we're
writing to it and there's not enough free space in it.
Advantages: We drop old data rather than the most recent data when the buffer
is full. The "syslog" KDL command has more data available now. So the odds
are that kernel syslog messages not written to disk yet are at least still
in the kernel buffer.
* Changed dprintf_no_syslog() semantics: Now it writes to the syslog, but
doesn't notify the syslog sender thread.
boot loader:
* Added the ring_buffer implementation and a dummy user_memcpy().
* bios_x86: Moved the syslog stuff from serial.{cpp,h} to debug.{cpp.h}.
* Moved the debug options from the "Select safe mode options" menu to a new
"Select debug options" menu.
* Added option "Enable debug syslog" to the new menu (ATM available on x86
only). It allocates a 1 MB in-memory buffer for the syslog for this session
in such a way that it can be accessed by the boot loader after a reset.
* Added item "Display syslog from previous session" to the new menu, doing
what its name suggests.

access time scoring, and accessed alone is useless for that.
* put_cached_block() no longer frees any unused blocks.
* The low memory handler will now only lock the cache if there is something
to do. Also, it did not take address space warnings into account.
* Even when memory is critical, we don't free all unused blocks anymore - if
the number of blocks we free now (10000) is not sufficient to get out of the
critical condition, chances are good that we will be called again :-)
* block_notifier_and_writer() now tries to make sure that the total block cache
memory consumption grows not much larger than half of the available RAM.
* This should all help to limit the block cache usage a bit better. Hopefully,
a checkfs run will no longer run out of memory here (couldn't test yet).

* Made the page table allocation more flexible. Got rid of sMaxVirtualAddress
and added new virtual_end address to the architecture specific kernel args.
* Increased the virtual space we reserve for the kernel to 16 MB. That
should suffice for quite a while. The previous 2 MB were too tight when
building the kernel with debug info.
* mmu_init(): The way we were translating the BIOS' extended memory map to
our physical ranges arrays was broken. Small gaps between usable memory
ranges would be ignored and instead marked allocated. This worked fine for
the boot loader and during the early kernel initialization, but after the
VM has been fully set up it frees all physical ranges that have not been
claimed otherwise. So those ranges could be entered into the free pages
list and would be used later. This could possibly cause all kinds of weird
problems, probably including ACPI issues. Now we add only the actually
usable ranges to our list.
Kernel:
* vm_page_init(): The pages of the ranges between the usable physical memory
ranges are now marked PAGE_STATE_UNUSED, the allocated ranges
PAGE_STATE_WIRED.
* unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't free pages marked as unused.

object_cache_alloc(): the ObjectCache::total_objects count was increased in
ObjectCache::InitSlab(), but the slab was really only added at a later point
between the cache could be unlocked.
* If a second object_cache_reserve_internal() managed to be called while the
lock was unlocked, it would see that there has to be space available, and
will then return -- however, since the other thread could not yet place the
slab into the cache, object_cache_alloc() cannot find it.

Also test the HPET counter before trying to use it.

so that we still get a (continuable) panic().

they were never freed unless the cache was destroyed (I just wondered why
my system would bury >1G in the magazines).
* Made the magazine capacity variable per cache, ie. for larger objects, it's
not a good idea to have 64*CPU buffers lying around in the worst case.
* Furthermore, the create_object_cache_etc()/object_depot_init() now have
arguments for the magazine capacity as well as the maximum number of full
unused magazines.
* By default, you might want to initialize both to zero, as then some hopefully
usable defaults are computed. Otherwise (the only current example is the
vm_page_mapping cache) you can just put in the values you'd want there.
The page mapping cache uses larger values, as its objects are usually
allocated and deleted in larger chunks.

Add(block).

lines later anyway, after the cache has been locked and it has been verified
that the page is still a candidate. Fixes#5432.

whether the pages where mapped. Was introduced already in r22731.

needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
- Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
- Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
- Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
RAM ranges.
- If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
#5383.
Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.

therefore does not unlock anymore while iterating over the transactions.
This gave other threads the opportunity to finish a transaction, causing
bug #5412. Also, the BlockWriter will now always close transactions on its
own, and you need to pass the transaction hash iterator to Add().
* Also, transactions that contain blocks that are currently written back will
be ignored by the block writer, as well as cache_sync_transaction(). This
fixes bug #5415.
* Improved error handling if BlockWriter fails to write back blocks. Most
notably, they are no longer left busy_writing, and the functions calling
it do proper error reporting (besides block_cache_discard() that does not
return any erro code; I've added a TODO note there for now).
* The BlockWriter now starts with a larger array once it has to allocate one.
* One can now limit the number of blocks that go into a BlockWriter. This is
used by the block writer thread, that shouldn't always write back everything
every two seconds.
* Also, the fixed array is larger now (leaving enough space such that the
block writer/notifier does not need to allocate anything).
* And finally, if allocating the array fails, the BlockWriter falls back to the
synchronous write back used previously. IOW it will never write back less
blocks than you ask for.
* Added static BlockWriter::WriteBlock() method replacing write_cached_block().
* Forgot to rename block_cache::busy_count to busy_reading_count.

arch_timer_set_hardware_timer(). This was harmless, at least with our
current x86 timers implementation, since they checked for minimum timeouts.
Very small cleanup (now that the file is compiled as C++).

particular it wouldn't set the flag when writing something to a page, but
only move it to the modified queue. Since mapping the page would move it to
another queue, the information that the page was modified would be lost and
it would never be written to disk. Was well reproducible with a Haiku image
build and limited amount of memory.
Fixes the hopefully last remaining cause for #5374.

* full_scan_inactive_pages(): Fixed syntactical glitch (missing "else").
Affected only the active paging mode and was relatively harmless. The worst
case would be that an inactive page would be moved to the cached queue
although its usage_count hadn't dropped to 0 yet, thus freeing it before
pages that deserved it more.
* move_page_to_active_or_inactive_queue():
- Was ignoring the page's modified flag, thus potentially moving a modified
page to the cached queue. That could happen only in rare cases though,
like when the page was still mmap()ped while being written and modified and
unmapped before being done.
- No longer move the page to the inactive queue, even if its usage count is 0.
In idle mode the page daemon doesn't look at inactive pages, so the page's
stats wouldn't be updated anymore.
- Renamed to move_page_to_appropriate_queue().

inactive pages to the active queue. This has the advantage that the page
daemon will keep track of those pages even in idle mode (where it only
processes the active queue).
