This patch introduces randomization of commpage position. From now on commpage
table contains offsets from begining to of the commpage to the particular
commpage entry. Similary addresses of symbols in ELF memory image "commpage"
are just offsets from the begining of the commpage.
This patch also updates KDL so that commpage entries are recognized and shown
correctly in stack trace. An update of Debugger is yet to be done.
x86_userspace_thread_exit() is a stub originally placed at the bottom of
each thread user stack that ensures any thread invokes exit_thread() upon
returning from its main higher level function.
Putting anything that is expected to be executed on a stack causes problems
when implementing data execution prevention. Code of x86_userspace_thread_exit()
is now moved to commpage which seems to be much more appropriate place for it.
Inside the page randomization of initial user stack pointer is not only a part
of ASLR implementation but also a performance improvement that helps
eliminating aligned 64 kB data access.
Minimal user stack size is increased to 8 kB in order to ensure that regardless
of initial stack pointer value there is still enough space on stack.
* Added the aforementioned functions.
* create_area_etc() now takes a guard size parameter.
* The thread_info::stack_base/end range now refers to the usable range
only.
Reused x86 arch_user_debugger.cpp, with a few minor changes to make
the code work for both 32 and 64 bit. Something isn't quite working
right, if a breakpoint is hit the kernel will hang. Other than that
everything appears to work correctly.
The cookie is used to store the base address of the area that was just
visited. On 64-bit systems, int32 is not sufficient. Therefore, changed
to ssize_t which retains compatibility on x86 while expanding to a
sufficient size on x86_64.
Since the commpage is at a kernel address, changed 64-bit paging code
to match x86's behaviour of allowing user-accessible mappings to be
created in the kernel portion of the address space. This is also
required by some drivers.
Since this argument may be used to pass pointers, uint32 is not
correct for 64-bit. Effectively no change on 32-bit targets, both
size_t and uint32 are unsigned long there.
This has been done by adding typedefs in elf_common.h to the correct ELF
structures for the architecture, and changing all Elf32_* uses to those
types. I don't know whether image loading works as I cannot test it yet,
there may be some 64-bit safety issues around. However, symbol lookup for
the kernel is working correctly.
The actual implementation of the ELF loading methods have been put into
an ELFLoader template class that takes a single template parameter, which
is a structure containing all the necessary ELF typedefs. It's a bit
verbose, but I thought it was a neater solution than using a bunch of
standalone functions with a huge number of template parameters. There is
no change to code outside of elf.cpp, the ELF32/ELF64 differences are
handled internally.
* x86_64 is using the existing *_ia32 boot platforms.
* Special flags are required when compiling the loader to get GCC to compile
32-bit code. This adds a new set of rules for compiling boot code rather
than using the kernel rules, which compile using the necessary flags.
* Some x86_64 private headers have been stubbed by #include'ing the x86
versions. These will be replaced later.
directory of a file without traversing leaf links (just like lstat()).
* Minor cleanup.

address protection bits as well as the wiring flags for an arbitrary address
in a team's address space. Will be used in the debugger for the purposes
of the memory inspector/editor, in order to determine whether it can in fact
allow editing for the currently inspected address range.

* 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.

all reports so far have been positive. We fall back to legacy mode in the cases
where we can't figure out the correct routing.

* move system_revision.h to headers/private/libroot
* unify libroot's get_system_revision() (the one I introduced recently) with kernel's
get_haiku_revision(), the function is now called get_haiku_revision() in the kernel
and __get_haiku_revision() in libroot
* system_revision.c is now being built as part of libroot and as part of the kernel
* adjusted all callers of get_system_revision() accordingly

* add private function get_system_revision() for accessing the
revision string
* adjust uname to use get_system_revision

* the length of the sHaikuRevision character array symbol needs to be set explicitly,
as using either _SYS_NAMELEN or sizeof(utsname::version) will only return the values
for the host, which may not match ours, thus potentially causing problems when using
sHaikuRevision
* add headers/private/system_revision.h which defines SYSTEM_REVISION_LENGTH to 128
* adjust definitions of sHaikuRevision in libroot and kernel accordingly
utsname::version is shorter than SYSTEM_REVISION_LENGTH, but that doesn't cause any harm
until we have indeed switched to a DVCS (in which case longer revision strings will be
cut off by 'uname').

IO-APIC can be easily enabled to test it on various configurations. Note that
the previous default opt-out didn't work because the safemode options would not
be touched at all when not actually entering the boot menu.
Once IO-APIC is more broadly tested this can be removed again and the opt-out
option reenabled.

only a few events can be watched (team creation/deletion/exec, thread creation/
deletion/name changes). The functions start_system_watching()/
stop_system_watching start/stop watching events.

* _kern_[sg]et_timezone() now accepts/passes out the timezone name, too
* adjust Time preflet and clockconfig to pass the timezone name into the kernel
when calling _kern_set_timezone()
* ajust implementation of tzset() to fetch the timezone name from the kernel
via _kern_get_timezone() instead of reading 'libroot_timezone_info'
* the Time preflet no longer writes 'libroot_timezone_info'

* dropped DaylightSavingTime from real_time_clock code in kernel, it was
never really being used for what it meant (and just being referred to by
gettimeofday(), which put a different meaning to it
* adjusted the syscalls get_timezone() & set_timezone() as well as their callers
accordingly
* got rid of get_rtc_info() and rtc_info struct in kernel, as it was only
being referred to by the FAT add-on and that one (like gettimeofday()) put a
different meaning to tz_minuteswest. Added a comment to FAT's util.c
showing a possible solution, should the hardcoded GMT timezone pose a problem.
* fixed declaration of gettimeofday() to match POSIX base specs, issue 7
* changed implementation of gettimeofday() to not bother trying to fill struct
timezone - it was using wrong values before, anyway.
