each attribute access needed 3 syscalls, now only one as it should.
* Renamed the new Haiku call fs_open_attr() to fs_fopen_attr(), and added a new
function fs_open_attr() that takes a path (same semantics as the
fs_[f]open_attr_dir() functions already present in BeOS).
* Merged former _kern_open_attr(), and _kern_create_attr() into one syscall.
* Cleaned up vfs.h.

functions.
* Since we now use UserStringParameter, this fixes the missing null termination
of the parameter string, and thus bug #4045.
* Removed UserMemoryParameter, as it's no longer in use.
* Adjusted syscalls accordingly.

there are prefixed with the respective architecture name. Useful for remote
debugging a different architecture.
* <x86/arch_debugger.h>: Introduced a structure for the FPU state, so that it
isn't left to the debugger.
* Removed the _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() syscall. Was originally intended for
bdb compatiblity, but isn't really needed.
* Kernel x86 arch_get_debug_cpu_state(): The use of fnsave was broken, since
it reinits the FPU after saving the state. This resulted in weird results
when debugging functions using the FPU. We now use fxsave, if available.
Otherwise fnsave + frstor should be used -- not fully implemented yet.
Same for arch_set_debug_cpu_state().

and added a _kern_unreserve_address_range() as well.
* The runtime loader now reserves the space needed for all its areas first
to make sure there is enough space left for all areas of a single image.
* This also fixes the final part of bug #4008.
* Minor cleanup.

the first part of making the runtime loader behave itself; it should already
make Clockwerk run okay with any number of translators (even if not all of
them will work yet).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@31113 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Generalized address checks. The debugger can now also read the commpage.
* Added new syscall _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() to get the CPU state of a
not running thread. Introduced arch_get_thread_debug_cpu_state() for that
purpose, which is only implemented for x86 ATM (uses the new
i386_get_thread_user_iframe()).
* Don't allow a debugger to change a thread's "esp" anymore. That's the esp
register in the kernel. "user_esp" can still be changed.
* Generally set RF (resume flag) in eflags in interrupt handlers, not only
after a instruction breakpoint debug exception. This should prevent
breakpoints from being triggered more than once (e.g. when the breakpoint is
on an instruction that can cause a page fault). I still saw those with bdb
in VMware, but that might be a VMware bug.

- Moved scheduler listening interface to <listeners.h> and added more
convenient to use templatized notification functions.
- Added a listener mechanism for the wait objects (semaphores, condition
variables, mutex, rw_lock).
* system profiler:
- Hopefully fixed locking issues related to notifying the profiler thread
for good. We still had an inconsistent locking order, since the scheduler
notification callbacks are invoked with the thread lock held and have to
acquire the object lock then, while the other callbacks acquired the object
lock first and as a side effect of ConditionVariable::NotifyOne() acquired
the thread lock. Now we make sure the object lock is the innermost lock.
- Track the number of dropped events due to a full buffer.
_user_system_profiler_next_buffer() returns this count now.
- When scheduling profiling events are requested also listen to wait objects
and generate the respective profiling events. We send those events lazily
and cache the infos to avoid resending an event for the same wait object.
- When starting profiling we do now generate "thread scheduled" events for
the already running threads.
- _user_system_profiler_start(): Check whether the parameters pointer is a
userland address at all.
- The system_profiler_team_added event does now also contain the team's name.
* Added a sem_get_name_unsafe() returning a semaphore's name. It is "unsafe",
since the caller has to ensure that the semaphore exists and continues to
exist as long as the returned name is used.
* Adjusted the "profile" and "scheduling_recorder" according to the system
profiling changes. The latter prints the number of dropped events, now.

passed in a structure now, so it is easier to extend it and ignore unused
parameters.
* One can now select which system profiling events one is interested in.
* Added scheduling events to the system profiling interface. Those are pretty
much the ones recorded when scheduler tracing is enabled. Still missing are
the "wait object" events that allow to interpret what a thread is waiting
for.

device additions/removals can be monitored.
* Minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29582 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
the methods IsFile() and GetFilePath() to BDiskDevice, and
BDiskDeviceRoster::GetFileDeviceForPath().
* Added new syscalls to implement this functionality.
* Added new flag B_DISK_DEVICE_IS_FILE.
* Fixed wrong operator precedence assumption in the BDiskDevice class at
several places.
* Minor cleanup.

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.

unscheduled was incorrect.
* Introduced _kern_analyze_scheduling() syscall. It requires scheduler
kernel tracing to be enabled. It uses the tracing entries for a given
period of time to do a similar analysis the "scheduler" debugger
command does (i.e. number of runs, run time, latencies, preemption
times) for each thread. Additionally the analysis includes for each
thread how long the thread waited on each locking primitive in total.
* Added kernel tracing for the creation of semaphores and initialization
of condition variables, mutexes, and rw locks. The enabling macro is
SCHEDULING_ANALYSIS_TRACING. The only purpose is to provide
_kern_analyze_scheduling() with more info on the locking primitives
(the name in particular).

specifying the protection of each page (4 bits per page).
* Added no-op implementation of posix_madvise().
* Replaced a few "addr_t size" parameters by "size_t size".

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.

a flattened argument/environment buffer now. This simplifies the work
for the kernel a bit, since it can just copy the buffer and check
whether it looks OK instead of messing around with individual strings.
The runtime loader also gets a flattened array.
* Set the maximum size of the arguments/environment buffer to 128 KB.
When more arguments are passed, we fail with a proper error code
(instead of just truncating the arguments as before).
* On exec*() the first argument was silently replaced by the given path
name, which is not correct.

vm_page_write_modified_pages(), save that it only writes pages in the
given range.
* Added vm_page_schedule_write_page_range() which schedules all modified
pages in the given cache's range for writing by the page writer.
* Added _kern_sync_memory() syscall and the msync() POSIX function.

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).
