This seem to enhance the stability of the app_server by a magnitude (at least I can
now run apps like Installer and Media without an instant crash).

Turns out we are using a single FT_Face object for a given font size throughout the
app_server - but the FT_Face object is not designed for a multi-threaded access, AFAICT.
For example, it only has a single glyph slot, that we were using from different threads.
This fix does not cover the renderer, however, which also uses that shared object; IOW
even though it will crash less often it will still crash because of this.

* there is now a "Disable Hyper-Threading" safemode in the boot loader
* the SMP & HT menu items are now added in smp.cpp - and are only added
if the system supports one of them.
* more cleanup to smp_apic.h
* removed cpuid() from the boot loader's support.S - instead, it will now
use the one from the kernel.
* added a very weak HT detection: if the MP config only listed one CPU,
and this CPU supports HT, we enable the other logic processor manually -
as this currently doesn't work, it's disabled, though.

Return type of thread_func is now status_t instead of the previous int32.
Added some more cpuid_info fields - many fields aren't just reserved anymore.
"sysinfo" now supports the extended features of Intel CPUs, and also knows
the "HTT" bit of the standard features indicating the hyper-threading capability.

note that _IO* macros were redefined for the R5 target, the ones in Haiku aren't compatible with R5

The "data_ptr" parameter is now only freed if you specify SMP_MSG_FLAG_FREE_ARG
when sending the ICI message.

Extracted scheduler_init() from start_scheduler() (which is now called scheduler_start()).
Moved scheduler related function prototypes from thread.h to the new scheduler.h.
Cleanup.

part of the base table, not the extended table.
Renamed some structure fields, variables to be clearer and nicer to read.
Removed some unused stuff.

your system, I've also added a "Disable SMP" safemode option. The NO_SMP
define is still there, and will be removed once SMP works flawlessly.
Prints out infos about the interrupt entries in the MP config.

having the thread lock held and interrupts disabled.
Cleaned up the signal handling code, and fixed some minor bugs with blockable
vs. non-blockable signals.
thread_debug_info was using uint64 for signals sets instead of sigset_t.

went fine).

* got rid of bogus member variables in FontStyle (which were
already flags in the underlying FT_Face structure)
* disabled using the FreeType font cache -> I think from
my earlier tests, I can conclude that the cache was not
actually working. At least not giving any speed improvements.
The AGG engine contains a caching system, for now, it works ok.
I have no idea if this has anything to do with crashes in the
freetype code, but at least I have not seen any since this
change. But I have not tested much...

some heuristic: when you booted from a CD, CDs are preferred; else, volumes with
names like "Haiku" or "System" are preferred - if someone has better ideas, please
shout.
Note, this heuristic will only come into play if the boot loader was loaded from
an image (ie. floppy/CD/network), and you didn't choose any boot device.
Added evil methods to the Stack class that come in handy (you can now directly
access the array) for this.

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).
