swap space when the cache shrinks. Currently the implementation stil leaks
swap space of busy pages.

can safely be used.
* Since using the I/O APIC is disabled by default, I've removed the "return"
that prevented its use when enabled. Let's see if it already does anything.
* Adapted other arch_int.cpp with a bit of cleanup.

mapped page.
* debug_{mem,strl}cpy():
- Added "team" parameter for specifying the address space the address are
to be interpreted in.
- When the standard memcpy() (with fault handler) fails, fall back to
vm_debug_copy_page_memory().
* Added debug_is_debugged_team(): Predicate returning true, if the supplied
team_id refers to the same team debug_get_debugged_thread() belongs to.
* Added DebuggedThreadSetter class for scope-based debug_set_debugged_thread().
Made use of it in several debugger functions.
* print_demangled_call() (x86): Fixed unsafe memory access.
Allows KDL stack traces to work correctly again, even if the page daemon has
already unmapped the concerned pages.

interrupts (MSI).
* Add the remaining IDT entries and redirection functions in the interrupt code.
* Make the PIC end_of_interrupt() return a result to indicate whether the vector
was handled by this PIC. If it isn't we now issue a apic_end_of_interrupt()
in the assumption of apic local interrupt, MSI or IPI. This also removes
the need for the gUsingIOAPIC global and doing manual apic_end_of_interrupt()
calls in the SMP and timer code.

other places where previously the same functionality was duplicated. Also
seperated the header which was originally arch_smp.h into apic.h and arch_smp.h
again as some of it is MP and not actually APIC.

* Implemented a tiny bit more sophisticated version of
estimate_max_scheduling_latency() that uses a syscall that lets the scheduler
decide.

locks.
* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
(it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
operations, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@36158 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added new thread flag THREAD_FLAGS_ALWAYS_RESTART_SYSCALL. If set, it forces
syscall restart even when a signal handler without SA_RESTART was invoked.
* Fixed sigwait(): If one of requested signals wasn't already pending it would
never wake up. Also, the syscall always needs to be restarted, if interrupted
by another signal.
* Renamed a bunch of the POSIX signal function implementations which did return
an error code directly (instead via errno). Added correct POSIX functions
where needed.

return it.
* lock_memory_etc(): On error the VMAreaWiredRange object could be leaked.
* [un]lock_memory_etc(): Call VMArea::Unwire() with the cache locked and
explicitly delete the range object after unlocking the cache to avoid
potential deadlocks.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@36035 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Since the requirement is that the area's top cache is locked, allocating
memory isn't allowed.
* lock_memory_etc(): Create the VMAreaWiredRange object explicitly before
locking the area's top cache.
Fixes#5680 (deadlocks when using the slab as malloc() backend).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@36033 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* _user_map_file(), _user_unmap_memory(): Verify that the address (if given) is
page aligned.
* Reworked memory locking (wiring):
- VMArea does now have a list of wired memory ranges and supports waiting for
a range to be removed.
- vm_soft_fault():
- Added "wirePage" parameter that, if given, makes the function wire the
page and return it.
- Added "wiredRange" parameter (for calls from lock_memory_etc()) and made
sure we never unmap wired pages. This could e.g. happen when a page from a
lower cache was read-mapped and a write fault occurred. Now in such a
situation the function waits for the page to be unwired and restarts.
- All functions that manipulate areas in a way that could affect wired ranges
do now either require the caller to make sure there are no wired ranges in
the way or do that themselves. Added a few wait_if_*_is_wired() helper
functions for that purpose.
- lock_memory_etc():
- Does now also work correctly when the range spans more than one area.
- Adds VMAreaWiredRanges to the affected VMAreas and retains an address
space reference (so that the address space won't be deleted as long as a
wired range exists).
- Resolved TODO: The area's caches are now locked when
increment_page_wired_count() is called.
- Resolved TODO: The race condition due to missing locking after looking up
the page mapping is now prevented. We hold the cache locks (in case the
page is already mapped) and the new vm_soft_fault() parameter allows us
to get the page wired.
- unlock_memory_etc(): Changes symmetrical to those in lock_memory_etc() and
resolved all TODOs.

Added fields for temporary storage of the debug registers dr6 and dr7 to the
arch_cpu_info structure. The actual registers are stored at the beginning of
x86_exit_user_debug_at_kernel_entry() and read in
x86_handle_debug_exception().
The problem was that x86_exit_user_debug_at_kernel_entry() itself overwrote
dr7 and, if kernel breakpoints were enabled, dr6 could be overwritten anytime
after. So x86_handle_debug_exception() would find incorrect values in the
registers (definitely in dr7) and thus interpret the detected debug condition
incorrectly. Usually watchpoints were recognized as breakpoints.

arch_debug_registers instead.
* Call arch_debug_save_registers() on all CPUs when entering the kernel
debugger.
* Added debug_get_debug_registers() to return a specified CPU's saved
registers.
* x86:
- Replaced the previous arch_debug_save_registers() implementation. Disabled
getting the registers via the gdb interface for the time being.
- Fixed the "sc", "call", and "calling" commands to also work for threads
running on another CPU.

support file creation.
* Extended open() and open_from() to support O_CREAT to create files.
open_from() has got an optional "permissions" parameter for that purpose.
* Fixed errno. It would crash when being used. Also changed the POSIX functions
to return their error code via errno as expected.
* Added writev().
* FAT file system:
- Added support for reading long file names.
- Added support for creating files (8.3 name only) and writing to them.
- Enabled scanning partitions with it.
* Boot loader menu:
- Enabled the "Reboot" menu item unconditionally.
- Added "Save syslog from previous session" menu item to the debug menu.
Currently saving the syslog to FAT32 volumes is supported.

received, but if the signal was in the thread's signal block mask, it would
not be handled. Added thread::sig_temp_enabled, an additional mask of not
blocked signals, which is set by sigsuspend() and evaluated and reset by
handle_signals(). Fixes#5567.

* The kernel syslog ring buffer is no longer emptied by the syslog sender
thread. Instead we only drop the oldest data from the buffer when we're
writing to it and there's not enough free space in it.
Advantages: We drop old data rather than the most recent data when the buffer
is full. The "syslog" KDL command has more data available now. So the odds
are that kernel syslog messages not written to disk yet are at least still
in the kernel buffer.
* Changed dprintf_no_syslog() semantics: Now it writes to the syslog, but
doesn't notify the syslog sender thread.
boot loader:
* Added the ring_buffer implementation and a dummy user_memcpy().
* bios_x86: Moved the syslog stuff from serial.{cpp,h} to debug.{cpp.h}.
* Moved the debug options from the "Select safe mode options" menu to a new
"Select debug options" menu.
* Added option "Enable debug syslog" to the new menu (ATM available on x86
only). It allocates a 1 MB in-memory buffer for the syslog for this session
in such a way that it can be accessed by the boot loader after a reset.
* Added item "Display syslog from previous session" to the new menu, doing
what its name suggests.

* Added ring_buffer_peek() for random position reading from the ring buffer
without changing its state.

* Made the page table allocation more flexible. Got rid of sMaxVirtualAddress
and added new virtual_end address to the architecture specific kernel args.
* Increased the virtual space we reserve for the kernel to 16 MB. That
should suffice for quite a while. The previous 2 MB were too tight when
building the kernel with debug info.
* mmu_init(): The way we were translating the BIOS' extended memory map to
our physical ranges arrays was broken. Small gaps between usable memory
ranges would be ignored and instead marked allocated. This worked fine for
the boot loader and during the early kernel initialization, but after the
VM has been fully set up it frees all physical ranges that have not been
claimed otherwise. So those ranges could be entered into the free pages
list and would be used later. This could possibly cause all kinds of weird
problems, probably including ACPI issues. Now we add only the actually
usable ranges to our list.
Kernel:
* vm_page_init(): The pages of the ranges between the usable physical memory
ranges are now marked PAGE_STATE_UNUSED, the allocated ranges
PAGE_STATE_WIRED.
* unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't free pages marked as unused.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35726 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
happen on syscalls or "int" instructions. The debug exception handler sets
the thread debug flags B_THREAD_DEBUG_STOP and
B_THREAD_DEBUG_NOTIFY_SINGLE_STEP (new) and lets the thread continue. Before
leaving the kernel the thread is stopped and a single-step notification is
sent. Fixes#3487.

they were never freed unless the cache was destroyed (I just wondered why
my system would bury >1G in the magazines).
* Made the magazine capacity variable per cache, ie. for larger objects, it's
not a good idea to have 64*CPU buffers lying around in the worst case.
* Furthermore, the create_object_cache_etc()/object_depot_init() now have
arguments for the magazine capacity as well as the maximum number of full
unused magazines.
* By default, you might want to initialize both to zero, as then some hopefully
usable defaults are computed. Otherwise (the only current example is the
vm_page_mapping cache) you can just put in the values you'd want there.
The page mapping cache uses larger values, as its objects are usually
allocated and deleted in larger chunks.
* Beware, though, I couldn't test these changes yet as Qemu didn't like to run
today. I'll test these changes on another machine now.

needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
- Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
- Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
- Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
RAM ranges.
- If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
#5383.
Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35515 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added vm_clear_page_mapping_accessed_flags() and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings_if_unaccessed(), which combine the functionality
of vm_test_map_activation(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings(), thus saving lots of calls to translation map
methods. The backend is the new method
VMTranslationMap::ClearAccessedAndModified().
* Started to make use of the cached page queue and changed the meaning of the
other non-free queues slightly:
- Active queue: Contains mapped pages that have been used recently.
- Inactive queue: Contains mapped pages that have not been used recently. Also
contains unmapped temporary pages.
- Modified queue: Contains unmapped modified pages.
- Cached queue: Contains unmapped unmodified pages (LRU sorted).
Unless we're actually low on memory and actively do paging, modified and
cached queues only contain non-temporary pages. Cached pages are considered
quasi free. They still belong to a cache, but since they are unmodified and
unmapped, they can be freed immediately. And this is what
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages() do now when there are no more actually free
pages at hand. Essentially this means that pages storing cached file data,
unless mmap()ped, no longer are considered used and don't contribute to page
pressure. Paging will not happen as long there are enough free + cached pages
available.
* Reimplemented the page daemon. It no longer scans all pages, but instead works
the page queues. As long as the free pages situation is harmless, it only
iterates through the active queue and deactivates pages that have not been
used recently. When paging occurs it additionally scans the inactive queue and
frees pages that have not been used recently.
* Changed the page reservation/allocation interface:
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages(), vm_page_unreserve_pages(), and
vm_page_allocate_page() now take a vm_page_reservation structure pointer.
The reservation functions initialize the structure -- currently consisting
only of a count member for the number of still reserved pages.
vm_page_allocate_page() decrements the count and vm_page_unreserve_pages()
unreserves the remaining pages (if any). Advantages are that reservation/
unreservation mismatches cannot occur anymore, that vm_page_allocate_page()
can verify that the caller has indeed a reserved page left, and that there's
no unnecessary pressure on the free page pool anymore. The only disadvantage
is that the vm_page_reservation object needs to be passed around a bit.
* Reworked the page reservation implementation:
- Got rid of sSystemReservedPages and sPageDeficit. Instead
sUnreservedFreePages now actually contains the number of free pages that
have not yet been reserved (it cannot become negative anymore) and the new
sUnsatisfiedPageReservations contains the number of pages that are still
needed for reservation.
- Threads waiting for reservations do now add themselves to a waiter queue,
which is ordered by descending priority (VM priority and thread priority).
High priority waiters are served first when pages become available.
Fixes#5328.
* cache_prefetch_vnode(): Would reserve one less page than allocated later, if
the size wasn't page aligned.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35393 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
general "flags" parameter. It encodes the target state of the page -- so
that the page isn't unnecessarily put in the wrong page queue first -- a
flag whether the page should be cleared, and one to indicate whether the
page should be marked busy.
* Added page state PAGE_STATE_CACHED. Not used yet.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35333 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
flag. The obvious advantage is that one can still see what state a page is in
and even move it between states while being marked busy.
* Removed the vm_page::is_dummy flag. Instead we mark marker pages busy, which
in all cases has the same effect. Introduced a vm_page_is_dummy() that can
still check whether a given page is a dummy page.
* vm_page_unreserve_pages(): Before adding to the system reserve make sure
sUnreservedFreePages is non-negative. Otherwise we'd make nonexisting pages
available for allocation. steal_pages() still has the same problem and it
can't be solved that easily.
* map_page(): No longer changes the page state/mark the page unbusy. That's the
caller's responsibility.

argument. They replace the previous special-purpose allocation functions
(malloc_nogrow(), vip_io_request_malloc()).
* Moved the I/O VIP heap to heap.cpp accordingly.
* Added quite a bit of passing around of allocation flags in the VM,
particularly in the VM*AddressSpace classes.
* Fixed IOBuffer::GetNextVirtualVec(): It was ignoring the VIP flag and always
allocated on the normal heap.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35316 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
memory and page reservation functions have a new "priority" parameter that
indicates how deep the function may tap into that reserve. The currently
existing priority levels are "user", "system", and "VIP". The idea is that
user programs should never be able to cause a state that gets the kernel into
trouble due to heavy battling for memory. The "VIP" level (not really used
yet) is intended for allocations that are required to free memory eventually
(in the page writer). More levels are thinkable in the future, like "user real
time" or "user system server".
* Added "priority" parameters to several VMCache methods.
* Replaced the map_backing_store() "unmapAddressRange" parameter by a "flags"
parameter.
* Added area creation flag CREATE_AREA_PRIORITY_VIP and slab allocator flag
CACHE_PRIORITY_VIP indicating the importance of the request.
* Changed most code to pass the right priorities/flags.
These changes already significantly improve the behavior in low memory
situations. I've tested a bit with 64 MB (virtual) RAM and, while not
particularly fast and responsive, the system remains at least usable under high
memory pressure.
As a side effect the slab allocator can now be used as general memory allocator.
Not done by default yet, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35295 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added support to do larger raw allocations (up to one large chunk (128 pages))
in the slab areas. For an even larger allocation an area is created (haven't
seen that happen yet, though).
* Added kernel tracing (SLAB_MEMORY_MANAGER_TRACING).
* _FreeArea(): Copy and paste bug: The meta chunks of the to be freed area
would be added to the free lists instead of being removed from them. This
would corrupt the lists and also lead to all kinds of misuse of meta chunks.
object caches:
* Implemented CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE. It is no longer set for all small object
caches, but the block allocator sets it on all power of two size caches.
* object_cache_reserve_internal(): Detect recursion and don't wait in such a
case. The function could deadlock itself, since
HashedObjectCache::CreateSlab() does allocate memory, thus potentially
reentering.
* object_cache_low_memory():
- I missed some returns when reworking that one in r35254, so the function
might stop early and also leave the cache in maintenance mode, which would
cause it to be ignored by object cache resizer and low memory handler from
that point on.
- Since ReturnSlab() potentially unlocks, the conditions weren't quite correct
and too many slabs could be freed.
- Simplified things a bit.
* object_cache_alloc(): Since object_cache_reserve_internal() does potentially
unlock the cache, the situation might have changed and their might not be an
empty slab available, but a partial one. The function would crash.
* Renamed the object cache tracing variable to SLAB_OBJECT_CACHE_TRACING.
* Renamed debugger command "cache_info" to "slab_cache" to avoid confusion with
the VMCache commands.
* ObjectCache::usage was not maintained anymore since I introduced the
MemoryManager. object_cache_get_usage() would thus always return 0 and the
block cache would not be considered cached memory. This was only of
informational relevance, though.
slab allocator misc.:
* Disable the object depots of block allocator caches for object sizes > 2 KB.
Allocations of those sizes aren't so common that the object depots yield any
benefit.
* The slab allocator is now fully self-sufficient. It allocates its bootstrap
memory from the MemoryManager, and the hash tables for HashedObjectCaches use
the block allocator instead of the heap, now.
* Added option to use the slab allocator for malloc() and friends
(USE_SLAB_ALLOCATOR_FOR_MALLOC). Currently disabled. Works in principle and
has virtually no lock contention. Handling for low memory situations is yet
missing, though.
* Improved the output of some debugger commands.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35283 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added optional parameter "void** oldTable" to Resize(). If given the old
allocation for the table is returned instead of freeing it.
