and into its own file vfs_boot.cpp.
Added basic support for booting from CD - it doesn't give CDs a higher priority,
so you could end up booting from HD when you didn't explicetly select "CD-ROM"
in the boot loader. Eventually, it should only boot from HD in this case, if
booting from CD failed (because of a missing boot partition or whatever).
fs_mount(), _kern_mount(), and _user_mount() will now return the dev_t of the
mounted device, and not just B_OK. Maybe we should have fs_unmount() work on
a dev_t instead of a path as well...

"booted_from_image" in the kernel_args' boot_disk structure.
Also, added fields "cd" and "user_selected".
A CHOICE_MENU menu can now have a choice text - this is automatically updated
as entries in the menu get selected.
The boot volume menu now has the initial choice text "CD-ROM or hard drive"
in case the boot loader was loaded from an image. The "Rescan volumes" item
is no longer selected by default (only if there was no boot volume found) - but
it's still functionless anyway.
The TAR fs will now appear as "Boot from CD-ROM" in the boot volume menu.

like floppy or CD boot.
This allows it to reduce the number of scans needed to identify the boot
partition - when booted from a real floppy, this speeds up the boot
process by a magnitude.
Also, the loader now has a fall back in case there were no "boot" links
on the disk - the current boot floppy script doesn't create them.
With these changes, I was able to boot into a HD based Haiku installation
from a floppy disk. It's not yet enough to boot from CD (as the boot
device selection is a bit too simplistic right now), but it will eventually
come next. Testing is a lot slower here, though, as neither qemu nor
Bochs support multi-session CDs (at least I have no idea how to get them
to do this).

per file descriptor (a descriptor can be shared among several slots). There is now a
second table in the io_context structure that contains that information in a bitmap.
There are now two new (private) functions to control the close-on-exec flag, fd_close_on_exec(),
and fd_set_close_on_exec().
F_DUPFD, dup(), and dup2() are supposed to clear the close-on-exec flag on the duplicated
slot - this fixes bug #57 (no output after a redirect of a shell builtin).

removed the locking it did, as that doesn't work anymore in the kernel debugger.
The function was not thought to be used outside the debugger, anyway.
Improved usage message from debugger command "ls".

even if "kernel_startup" was "true". Page faults are now no longer allowed
during kernel startup (and could be easily avoided). The only situation where
we accept page faults with interrupts turned off now is during a kernel debugger
session.
Added a command debug_debugger_running() to test for that situation.
kernel_debugger() no longer sets kernel_startup while it's running; there should
be no situation when this could be helpful.
Interrupts are no longer enabled when a page fault happens in the kernel
debugger.
This potentially fixes all sorts of problems, and not only in the kernel debugger,
it could also have affected SMP (will test later).

Cleanup of some remaining "int" status variables (where it should have
been a "status_t").

prevents the system to allocate caches for files that don't use or have
a file cache (ie. only those can be mmap()ed!).
Therefore, cache_prefetch() no longer crashes when trying to prefetch
files without a file cache.
read_into_cache() no longer does anything if the requested size is 0.
Fixed a bug in cache_prefetch_vnode(): if the cache couldn't be retrieved,
it put the vnode, but didn't own it (the caller does).

Currently, it opens the "launch_speedup" module (if available), later it
should consult a settings file for what to do.

(dprintf() locks using acquire_spinlock() which can itself drop into the
kernel debugger, causing an endless loop (until the stack was full).
Removed debug_putchar().
The gdb interface is now calling arch_debug_serial_*() directly.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13882 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Removed vfs_vnode_release_ref(), as vfs_put_vnode() already does the same thing.

the other one with usual device/inode ID pair.
Both versions now accept an offset/size pair to specify the region of the
file to be prefetched - this may be turned into a file_vec_io array later on.

user application performs a division by zero or causes a general
protection fault. For some exceptions (e.g. machine check) I wasn't
quite sure whether they can be caused by user apps at all, so we panic()
in those cases. Wouldn't harm, if someone more knowledgable would check
this, though.
* Removed the unused fault handling stuff, respectively moved the little
that was used into x86/arch_int.c.

allocating a buffer and copying your data into it, when you have data to
send in several chunks (for example, this could be used by BMessage, as
suggested by Ingo Weinhold).
Code is untested, but should work.

time of the idle thread. IOW Pulse now works :-)
Renamed the idle thread/stack to start with 1 instead of 0 (first idle thread will
be called "idle thread 1").
Minor cleanup.

now as well.
Also, both functions will now test if the executable exists and is valid; that
way, load_image()/exec*() can catch many errors without having to create a new
team (or erase the current one - an exec*("my invalid app") might now return
with an error).
The runtime linker now exports a function to test executables that is aware
of the search paths, and will also check user permissions upfront.

can now only happen if the thread is killed.
_user_receive_data() will now longer pass B_CAN_INTERRUPT to receive_data(),
but B_KILL_CAN_INTERRUPT - this should fix the problem Stefano experienced
with this function, even if I couldn't reproduce it.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13075 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Added new devfs_add_driver() function that the device manager will now call
to register new drivers.
Devfs will now keep a list of known drivers and remembers, if they have
been initialized already - a driver can now safely scan the directory it's
in while being scanned itself without having its hooks called twice.
Devfs is now using a recursive lock instead of a mutex (that's not really
a requirement right now, but would allow us to keep the fs lock during
scanning).

called by debug_init_post_vm().
Since the availability of a blue screen specific getchar() is static anyway, there
is no need for the sBlueScreenGetChar variable (only the message "only serial input
available" gets lost, but since that is platform specific anyway...).
Hello blue screen! We now have an on-screen KDL, to be enabled by the kernel
setting "bluescreen", just like on BeOS.
The blue screen does not yet support any cursor actions or backspace, though (need
to grab some stuff from our console driver).

kernel_debugger() didn't do enough before; panic() did all the work - but
since the former is a public function as well, I moved all the functionality
to it. Also fixed a possible buffer overrun in panic().
Renamed dbg_* to debug_*.
"serial_debug_port" setting did not ignore negative values.

This will keep it alive longer until a) the block cache no longer
uses the heap, and b) we get a better heap without a fixed size.

VFS's interface, so that a file system only has to implement one interface.
As a side effect, the automatic file system detection may now work (not yet
tested, though).

following 1152 MB - that area only guarantees that the heap can grow this much before
the application need the memory for something else. And even then, the heap range
is reused from top-to-bottom, allowing for maximum heap usage. Of course, if the
memory after the heap range is not claimed yet, it can still be claimed by the heap,
too. Added new syscall to create the reserved range.
Fixed a bug in vm_delete_areas(): when it removed reserved areas, the area list
could get messed up.
Fixed a bug in resize_area(): resized areas could never be deleted (missing vm_put_area())!
resize_area() now supports reserved regions (but not perfectly yet, see ToDo items).

only if memory becomes tight, and then the range is used from end to
start.
This is useful to reserve heap address ranges.

along the protection flags).
Changed the handling of B_STACK_AREA types and anonymous vm_areas: now
every area can overcommit if B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA was specified.
B_STACK_AREA areas are still automatically overcommitting, but
B_KERNEL_STACK_AREA areas no longer.
vm_store_anonymous_noswap.c now only tests for guard pages if there were
any specified which is only done for B_STACK_AREA areas.

- has_signals_pending() is not declared in Be headers, and it isn't declared in
our KernelExport.h anymore, too
- removed snooze_etc() from KernelExport.h, as it's already defined in OS.h
(and really exported by libroot.so).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@12506 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Lots of cleanup:
- moved B_NO_ENABLE_COUNTER flag definition out of int.h to KernelExport.h, as it's
described in the BeBook (although it's probably not really used that often :))
- int.c no longer has any platform dependent code (+ 0x20 on interrupt numbers is gone);
it's now entirely handled in the arch/x86/ section.
- the io_vectors[] is now statically initialized, instead of allocated from the heap
- removed {install|remove}_interrupt_handler(); they weren't that useful, arch_smp_init()
is now calling install_io_interrupt_handler() correctly instead
- introduced a new arch_int.h header file that currently contains NUM_IO_VECTORS only
(though on x86, it also has ARCH_INTERRUPT_BASE == 0x20).
- changed the return type from {install|remove}_io_interrupt_handler() from "long" to
"status_t"
- rearranged and cleaned the PIC initialization code, made the PIC code more prominent
- changed comments that talk about a non existing 8239 (the PIC chip is actually 8259)
- moved arch/x86/interrupts.h to the source directory, as it's not used outside
- added BeOS compatible interrupts_enabled() function, that should replace our
equivalent (and private) are_interrupts_enabled()

Also changed readlink() to be POSIX compliant with those changes.
"ls -l" does now resolve links properly again (the new coreutils version outlined the problems).
