compatible with what our code assumed (pointers to objects of
TraceEntry and its POD base class trace_entry aren't identical
anymore).
* Added optional stack traces for ktrace_printf() output in the kernel.

Changed condition variables so that it is allowed to block (e.g. lock
mutexes etc.) between Add() and Wait(). This fixes#2059, since the
block writer used them this way and could thusly fail to wait for a
condition variable, causing a temporary stack object to be used past its
lifetime.

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).

address space that is fully locked and marked B_KERNEL_AREA. It can
thus be accessed by the kernel without additional checks.
* For each userland thread we do create a user_thread structure in that
area. The structure is accessible from userland via TLS, using the
private get_user_thread() function.
* Introduced private userland functions [un]defer_signals(). They can be
used to cheaply disable/re-enable signal delivery. They use the
user_thread::defer_signals/pending_signals fields which are
checked/updated by the kernel.

* Added BDiskDeviceRoster::GetDiskSystem() method, that can get a disk system
by short/pretty/module name - since they should all be unique, I put them
in a single namespace, please complain if you don't like that :-)
* Cleaned up DiskSystem.h and DiskDeviceRoster.h according to the updated
header guidelines.
* Renamed ntfs pretty name from "ntfs File System" to "Windows NT File System".

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.

* Fixed operator=(): the second argument of SetTo() is a boolean (normalize),
not the length of the buffer.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25382 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Changed the semantics of unnamed semaphores. Before parent and child
of a fork() would always share an earlier created semaphore. Now we do
that only, if the "shared" parameter of sem_init() was true. That's
still not quite the behavior Linux and Solaris have, but should be
perfectly fine with how reasonable code would use the API.
* There's a global table for shared unnamed semaphores now. ATM a
semaphore is leaked when no one explicitly destroys it (just as with
named sems).
* Enforce per-team and global semaphore number limits.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25362 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

totally untested yet.

* Trivial adjustments of code using mutexes. Mostly removing the
mutex_init() return value check.
* Added mutex_lock_threads_locked(), which is called with the threads
spinlock being held. The spinlock is released while waiting, of
course. This function is useful in cases where the existence of the
mutex object is ensured by holding the threads spinlock.
* Changed the two instances in the VFS code where an IO context of
another team needs to be locked to use mutex_lock_threads_locked().
Before it required a semaphore-based mutex implementation.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25283 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
that can unlock the mutex, so one bit is sufficient.
* Added cutex_init_etc() which has an additional "flags" parameter.
The only specifyable flag is CUTEX_FLAG_CLONE_NAME, which causes the
function to strdup() the given name and free() its copy in
cutex_destroy().
* cutex_destroy() does now unblock waiting threads.

name, couldn't resist :-P). It's semantically equivalent to a mutex,
but doesn't need a semaphore (it uses thread blocking and a simple
queue instead). Initialization can't fail. In fact it is ready to use
without initialization when living in the bss segment, also in the
early boot process. It's as fast as a benaphore in cases of low lock
contention, and faster otherwise. Only disadvantage is the higher
immediate memory footprint of 16 bytes.
* Changed how the "thread" and "threads" debugger commands list the
objects they are waiting for. Cutexes are also included.

the selecting thread, which has obviously no effect.
* Changed select_info::events to vint32. It is now updated atomically.
This removes a race condition when concurrent threads would notify at
the same time.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25273 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Made the pointers const.
* Changed how the ARP module maintains its arp_entry::request_buffer: it
now uses the atomic_pointer*() functions to make sure there is no race
condition, and it's deleted only once.
* Getting an ARP entry would return uninitialized data, if the entry hadn't
been resolved yet.

64-bit safe version of atomic_test_and_set() for pointers:
atomic_pointer_test_and_set().
* The VFS is now using this function (it's not used anywhere else in the
kernel this way).

* cache paranoia was always enabled.
* Changed from paranoia on/off to levels. Adjusted the macros to take a
level argument.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25215 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added "mode" parameter to set_paranoia_check(), which specifies
whether the check is supposed to already exist/not exist yet. This
allows for, as it turns out, very useful additional tests. Added
{ADD,UPDATE}_PARANOIA_CHECK macros that imply the used "mode"
parameter.
* PARANOIA_SLOT_COUNT was accidentally redefined in the source file.
* Fixed remove_paranoia_check(). It didn't remove anything.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25207 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added capture_tracing_stack_trace() which allocates space in the
tracing buffer and captures the stack trace according to the given
parameters.
* Added TraceOutput::PrintStackTrace() to print a stack trace thus
created.
* Added TraceEntry::DumpStackTrace() callback which is supposed to print
a stack trace for the entry, if it can do that.
* Added "--stacktrace" switch to the "traced" command, which causes the
stack traces for all entries that have one to be printed as well.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25205 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added support for non-published condition variables. One has to call
Init() on those, and add entries directly with the
ConditionVariable::Add() method.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25110 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Made the object pointer passed to thread_prepare_to_block() const, so
that strings can be passed without casting. Passing a string could
maybe be made a convention for THREAD_BLOCK_TYPE_OTHER.

respective Private* base class.
* Changed sigwait() and sigsuspend() to use thread_block() instead of a
condition variable.

thread_block(), thread_unblock(),...) that allow a thread to wait for
something without needing a semaphore or condition variable. It can
simply block and another thread can unblock it. Supports timeouts and
interrupting. Both semaphores and condition variables use this
common mechanism, now.
* Semaphores:
- Some simplifications due to the thread blocking mechanism.
- Changed locking order to sem -> thread. It was the other way around
before and when introducing the wait_for_objects() support I had
also introduced a situation where the locking was reverse, which
could potentially cause a dead lock on SMP systems.
- Instead of queueing thread structures, a semaphore queues
queued_thread entries now, which are created on the stack. The
thread::sem structure could thus be removed.
- Added sem_entry::net_count, which is sem_entry::count plus the
acquisition count of all waiting threads. This number is needed in
remove_thread_from_sem() and instead of computing it there we
maintain it.
- Fixed remove_thread_from_sem(). It would not unblock threads, if
the sem count was <= 0.
- Made sem::last_acquirer unconditional. It is actually needed for
sem_info::latest_holder. Fixed fill_sem_info() accordingly.
- Added some optional tracing output, though only via ktrace_printf().
* Condition variables:
- Could be simplified significantly through the use of the thread
blocking mechanism. Removed a good deal of unnecessary code.
- Moved the ConditionVariableEntry "flags" parameter from Wait() to
Add(), and adjusted all places where condition variables are used
accordingly.
* snooze() uses thread_block_with_timeout() instead of a semaphore.
* Simplified thread interrupting in the signal and user debugger code.
Instead of separate functions for threads waiting on a semaphore or
condititon variable, we only have a single thread_interrupt(), now.

- If the hook of the timer we're cancelling is currently being
executed, we do now wait till it is finished. This is how the BeBook
specifies the function to behave.
- Periodic timers would not be cancelled, if their hook was being
invoked at the same time, since they weren't in the queue during
that time.
- Since we know the CPU on which the timer is scheduled (timer::cpu),
we don't have to look through any other CPU queue to find it.
- Fixed the return value. It should report whether the timer had
already fired, and was not always doing that.
* Added private add_timer() flag B_TIMER_ACQUIRE_THREAD_LOCK. It causes
the thread spinlock to be acquired before the event hook is called.
cancel_timer() doesn't wait for timers with the flag set. Instead we
check in the timer interrupt function after acquiring the thread
spinlock whether the timer was cancelled in the meantime. Calling
cancel_timer() with the thread spinlock being held does thus avoid any
race conditions and won't deadlock, if the event hook needs to acquire
the thread spinlock, too. This feature proves handy for some kernel
internal needs.
* The scheduler uses a B_TIMER_ACQUIRE_THREAD_LOCK timer now and
cancel_timer() instead of the no longer needed
_local_timer_cancel_event().

kernel and added a WrapperTraceFilter* parameter, which allows for
additional filtering. This way other commands can print tracing output
with special filtering.

ones) for wait_for_child(), which is notified when any job control
condition (child dead, stopped, continued) occurs. These events are
relatively rare anyway, and it simplifies the code.

and defines the macros needed by them.
* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
MAP_ANONYMOUS.
