2b14cdd11c * Added a mutex_trylock() function.
* Replaced release_sem() with release_sem_etc() for future addition of the
  B_DO_NOT_RESCHEDULE flag.

8c657126cd * Removed unused vm_page::busy_{reading|writing} fields.
* Fixed vm_page_allocate_page_run(): it did not take the pageState into account,
  and would therefore return uninitialized memory (ie. B_CONTIGUOUS areas would
  contain garbage).
  Now, it stores if a page is cleared in a new vm_page::is_cleared field.
* Some cleanup.

40c3aedf8d * Added hash_count_elements() and hash_count_used_slots() (mainly for
diagnostic purposes).
* hash_init() adjusts the table size to a prime number, which should
  result in a better element distribution, particularly since usually a
  power of two is passed.

c8a342a476 * The method vm_cache_remove_consumer() and the page daemon used to get
a reference to a by them not yet referenced cache was not correct.
  They only incremented the reference count, but a vnode cache reference
  includes also a vnode reference. In case of the page daemon this would
  cause vnode references to be lost (causing bug #1465).
* The page daemon used an unsafe method to access a yet unreferenced
  page cache. There was nothing that prevented the cache from being
  deleted while the page daemon tried to get a reference. The
  vm_page::cache field is now protected by the page cache table
  spinlock, too, which the new function
  vm_cache_acquire_page_cache_ref(), used by the page daemon, also
  acquires while trying to get the reference.

923efaa872 * We store the ID of the controlling terminal and the foreground process
group ID with the session and let the terminal update them.
* Added an "orphaned" flag to the process_group structure and code to
  maintain it.
* Handle the death of a controlling process correctly: The
  foreground process group gets a SIGHUP and all newly-orphaned process
  groups containing at least one stopped processes are sent
  SIGHUP+SIGCONT.
* The tty handles the O_NOCTTY flag correctly, now.
* The tty handles reads/writes from processes from other sessions
  correctly, now.
* Handle tcsetpgrp() from background processes correctly.

33f0dbe40a * Resolved TODO: waitpid() clears pending SIGCHLD, if the signal is
blocked and no other child status is available.
* Respect SA_NOCLDWAIT and ignored SIGCHLD in waitpid(): Unless a child
  status is available immediately, the thread shall block until all
  children are gone.

87689e25ea * sMappingLock is now a mutex instead of a spinlock.
* The vm_translation_map is now correctly held in all of the vm_ mapping
  functions.
* Removed the old vm_daemons.c file - there is now a new vm_daemons.cpp
  which contains the beginnings of our new page daemon.
  So far, it's pretty static and not much tested. What it currently does
  is to rescan all pages in the system with a two-handed clock algorithm
  and push pages into the modified and inactive lists.
* These inactive pages aren't really stolen yet, even though their mappings
  are removed (ie. their next access will cause a page fault). This should
  slow down Haiku a bit more, great, huh? :-)
* The page daemon currently only runs on low memory situations, though.

d2056c9933 * Added "caches" debugger command (to be enable by defining
DEBUG_CACHE_LIST) that prints an unspectacular list of pointers to all
  existing caches. Feel free to extend.
* Enhanced MultiAddressSpaceLocker:
  - It supports choosing between read and write lock per address space,
    now.
  - Added AddAreaCacheAndLock(), which adds the address spaces of all
    areas that are attached to a given area's cache, locks them, and
    locks the cache. It makes sure that the area list didn't change in
    the meantime and optionally also that all areas have their
    no_cache_change flags cleared.
* Changed vm_copy_on_write_area() to take a cache instead of an area,
  requiring it to be locked and all address spaces of affected areas to
  be read-locked, plus all areas' no_cache_change flags to be cleared.
  Callers simply use MultiAddressSpaceLocker:: AddAreaCacheAndLock() to
  do that. This resolves an open TODO, that the areas' base, size, and
  protection fields were accessed without their address spaces being
  locked.
* vm_copy_area() does now always insert a cache for the target area. Not
  doing that would cause source and target area being attached to
  the same cache in case the target protection was read-only. This
  would make them behave like cloned areas, which would lead to trouble
  when one of the areas would be changed to writable later.
* Fixed the !writable -> writable case in vm_set_area_protection(). It
  would simply change the protection of all mapped pages for this area,
  including ones from lower caches, thus causing later writes to the
  area to be seen by areas that shouldn't see them. This fixes a problem
  with software breakpoints in gdb. They could cause other programs to
  be dropped into the debugger.
* resize_area() uses MultiAddressSpaceLocker::AddAreaCacheAndLock() now,
  too, and could be compacted quite a bit.

addece2001 * Fixed incorrect check in condition_variable_interrupt_thread().
Condition variables would never be interrupted.
* ConditionVariableEntry::Add() did not correctly insert the entry into
  the per-thread list of entries (the next link of the previous entry
  was not adjusted), which could leave the entry unnotified when the
  previous entry was notified, thus leaving it in the respective
  condition variable's list after the end of its life time. This should
  fix a crashing bug I rarely encountered.
* Added debug checks in the PrivateConditionVariableEntry
  constructor/destructor that should have helped me to find
  forementioned bug hours earlier, had I been bright enough to realize
  that I didn't include <debug.h> and those KDEBUG guarded checks were
  never executed. :-/

667f1eeb67 * Added support for setting (hardware) break-/watchpoints in the kernel.
Can be enabled by defining KERNEL_BREAKPOINTS in arch/user_debugger.h
  and will provide the arch_{set,clear}_kernel_{break,watch}point()
  function. Hitting a break-/watchpoint will throw the thread into KDL.
* Finally added a comment, what's the point of
  i386_reinit_user_debug_after_context_switch(), since I wonder every
  time I see it. Should be optimized aways soon.

24bcf55926 * Introduced new job_control_entry structure which, among other things,
is used instead of death_entry for team::dead_children.
* Added team::{stopped,continued}_children, which, analoguously to
  dead_children, are used to track the state of stopped/continued
  children.
* A team does have a job_control_entry, which is allocated at team
  creation time. It will be inserted into the parent's
  {stopped,continued}_children lists as the team's main thread is
  stopped/continued and removed when waitpid() retrieves the child
  state. When the team dies the entry is detached from the team and goes
  into the parent's dead_children list.
* Removed the wait_for_any field from team_dead_children. It was solely
  used to avoid deletion of the contained entries in certain situations.
  wait_for_child() (the waitpid() backend) always deletes an entry now,
  regardless of whether other threads are waiting; that's in
  accordance with the waidpid() specification. wait_for_thread() removes
  the entry only, if the caller is the parent of the respective team.
* Introduced team_set_job_control_state() which performes the job
  control entry transitions between the respective lists and wakes up
  threads waiting in wait_for_child(). It is invoked on team death and
  when the team's main thread receives job control signals.
* Reorganized wait_for_child(). It handles WCONTINUED and WUNTRACED now,
  too. Removed a block that interpreted the supplied ID as thread ID.
* Added missing parts in waitpid().

Job control starts to work, though it seems to have some glitches.

* Removed left-over commented C implementation.
* It is now possible for a thread to wait for more than one condition
  variable at a time.
* Made waiting for condition variables optionally interruptable.
* Renamed Notify() method to NotifyAll() and added a NotifyOne(), so
  that it is now possible to wake up only one of the waiting threads.
Pretty much untested at the moment.

content name are supported.

  partition_module_info::flags) which indicate which disk device
  features the FS supports.
* Replaced the
  file_system_module_info/partition_module_info::supports_*()
  hooks by a get_supported_operations() hook and for partitioning
  systems additionally a get_supported_child_operations() hook.
* Updated file and partitioning systems accordingly.
* Updated fs_shell accordingly.
* Updated the DDM accordingly. The syscall interface remains unchanged,
  though.
* _user_supports_initializing_partition() also checks whether the parent
  partitioning system is content now.

5af1dda793 bonefish+axeld:

  space locked (read or write, depending on what you do) when dealing with
  areas.
* Added helper classes for locking the address space: AddressSpace{Read|Write}Locker,
  and MultiAddressSpaceLocker which can lock several spaces at once and makes
  sure no dead locks can happen.
* resize_area() is now using the MultiAddressSpaceLocker instead of no locking
  at all; ie. it should now be safely to use.
* Disabled transfer_area() for now; it will be changed to work like an atomic
  clone_area()/delete_area(), that is, it will hand out a new ID for the
  transfered area.

edb15b5565 bonefish+axeld:
* Simplified the notification framework: removed the updater stuff completely;
  it was only there to account for some peculiarities of the node monitor which
  we now solved differently.
* NotificationListener no longer includes a doubly linked list link for convenience;
  it might want to listen to more than just one service.
* NotificationService cannot have an abstract destructor.
* Changed the _user_stop_watching() syscall to mirror the Be API; ie. it's no
  longer possible to just remove some flags separately, just to stop listening
  completely.
* Adapted the node monitor implementation to live in the NodeMonitorService class
  that uses the new notification framework.
* Removed the public kernel node monitor API - it wasn't useful that way since you
  couldn't do a lot with the KMessage in the kernel without using a private API.
  Now you will have to use the (private) notification manager to use the node monitor
  from inside the kernel. At a later point, we might introduce a public API for that,
  too.

74c0424a43 * Added a mechanism to retrieve a BMessage with eventual error descriptions
for _kern_load_image().
* Added KMessage to the runtime_loader (a bit hacky, though) - it will use
  it to deliver the above mentioned functionality.
* load_dependencies() did return the wrong status code in case a library
  was missing; now it returns B_MISSING_LIBRARY.
* load_dependencies() will now try to load all dependencies when a report
  message is requested; therefore, all missing libraries are listed.
* Renamed uspace_program_args to user_space_program_args.
* The kernel filled in various members of the user_space_program_args structure
  unsafely, ie. was not using user_memcpy().
* Renamed some local variables in team.c to better fit our style guide (ie.
  uargs to userArgs).
* Changed Tracker to use the new _kern_load_image() variant on Haiku to retrieve
  and report all missing libraries. This fixes bug #1324.
* Adapted kernel_cpp.cpp to the runtime loader as well; the latter will now
  compile with _LOADER_MODE defined.

de52a13af7 Unconditionally enable all ASSERTs in the kernel for now; should obviously
be turned off for non-development releases later :-)

6d1c68155a axeld + bonefish:
* More conditional debug code (wrt page transitions between caches).
* Replaced debugger command cache_chain by a nicer cache_tree.
* While handling a soft fault: When we temporarily unlock a cache, it
  can theoretically become busy. One such occurrence is now handled
  properly, two more panic() ATM, though should be fixed.
* When merging caches, we do now always replace a dummy page in the
  upper cache, not only when the concurrent page fault is a read fault.
  This prevents a page from the lower (to be discarded) cache from still
  remaining mapped (causing a panic).
* When merging caches and replacing a dummy page, we were trying to
  remove the dummy page from the wrong cache (causing a panic).

The Haiku kernel seems now to run shockingly stable. ATM, we have more
than two hours uptime of a system booted and running over network. We
didn't manage to get it down by fully building Pe, downloading, unzipping,
and playing with various stuff. Someone should finally fix all those app
server drawing bugs, though (hint, hint! ;-)).

aeb67bdb8f Increased kernel stack size by another page. The network boot is more
stack hungry and would previously hit the stack limit and thus cause a
double fault. Hopefully we'll be able to reduce the stack foot print at
some time.
PXE boot does now fully work.

9e8dc2a9bb [Sorry, couldn't split this one up any further.]
* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
  to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
  by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
  devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
  using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
  obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
  doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
  possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
  read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
  more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
  arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
  though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
  boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
  specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
  initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
  directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
  does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
  removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
  DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
  mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
  added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
  initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
  up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
  net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
  the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.

Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

dad631290c * Made header includable by C code. In this case a KMessage structure
with the same size as the class is defined.
* The SetTo() methods do now accept an unspecified (negative) bufferSize
  in case of being told to initialize from the given buffer.
* Added handy Get*() methods returning a field element value or a
  supplied default value, if the field element doesn't exist.
* Added also handy Set*() methods setting the value of first element of
  a field, i.e. adding it, if it didn't exist before, otherwise
  replacing the old value. Only for fixed size types.
* Moved _FindType() inline template method into the header.
* Made the source file fit for use in the boot loader. If the macro
  KMESSAGE_CONTAINER_ONLY is defined, the message sending/receiving part
  is omitted.
