* No need for the atomically changed variables to be declared as
volatile.
* Drop support for atomically getting and setting unaligned data.
* Introduce atomic_get_and_set[64]() which works the same as
atomic_set[64]() used to. atomic_set[64]() does not return the
previous value anymore.
There is a global heap of cores, where the key is the highest priority
of threads running on that core. Moreover, for each core there is
a heap of logical processors on this core where the key is the priority
of currently running thread.
The per-core heap is used for load balancing among logical processors
on that core. The global heap is used in initial decision where to put
the thread (note that the algorithm that makes this decision is not
complete yet).
In SMP systems simple scheduler will be used only when all logical
processors share all levels of cache and the number of CPUs is low.
In such systems we do not have to care about cache affinity and
the contention on the lock protecting shared run queue is low. Single
run queue makes load balancing very simple.
Currently there are two generators. The fast one is the same one the scheduler
is using. The standard one is the same algorithm libroot's rand() uses. Should
there be a need for more cryptographically PRNG MD4 or MD5 might be a good
candidates.
* FixedWidthPointer:
- operators ==/!=: Change second operand type from void* to const
Type*. Also add non-const version to resolve ambiguity warning when
comparing with non-const pointer.
- Add Pointer() getter.
- Remove templatized cast operators. They are nice for casting the
pointer directly to another pointer type, but result in ambiguity.
* Make preloaded_image::debug_string_table non-const. Avoids clashes of
the const and non-coast FixedWidthPointer comparison operators. A
cleaner (but more verbose) solution would be to spezialize
FixedWidthPointer for const types.
* Added a FixedWidthPointer template class which uses 64-bit storage to hold
a pointer. This is used in place of raw pointers in kernel_args.
* Added __attribute__((packed)) to kernel_args and all structures contained
within it. This is necessary due to different alignment behaviour for
32-bit and 64-bit compilation with GCC.
* With these changes, kernel_args will now come out the same size for both
the x86_64 kernel and the loader, excluding the preloaded_image structure
which has not yet been changed.
* Tested both an x86 GCC2 and GCC4 build, no problems caused by these changes.
* AVLTreeMap::_GetKey(): Change return type from const Key& to Key, so
the strategy can do that as well and doesn't have have a Key object in
the node.
* Fix the Auto strategy: It was using the undefined _GetKey() instead
of GetKey().
both:
* Add Previous()/Next().
* Add Insert() version that returns a Node* instead of an Iterator.
* Add Remove() version that takes a Node* instead of a key.
TwoKeyAVLTree:
* Add GetIterator() version that takes an additional Node*, i.e.
initializing an iterator to point to the node.
* Add Iterator::CurrentNode().
This is a tree implementation with elements with primary and secondary
key. The code is a cleaned up version of ramfs's implementation. ramfs
doesn't use this version yet.
Add a DoublyLinkedList::Contains() method to check if a list contains a certain
element.

* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes#5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes#1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes#6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes#5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes#5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes#7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

* The team and thread kernel structures have been renamed to Team and Thread
respectively and moved into the new BKernel namespace.
* Several (kernel add-on) sources have been converted from C to C++ since
private kernel headers are included that are no longer C compatible.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed gcc 2 build (warnings mainly in the scary firewire bus manager).

well. This is rather ugly, but it was the quickest way to provide O(1) element
removal. This class could really use some love.

See http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html#c++ why it is needed. Note that HashMap.h Key and Value are typenames as well.
Afaict this is correctly done, builds and runs on gcc4. This fixes#5892.
