655f3b4161 Seperate the generic (local) APIC stuff into it's own file and use it from the
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.

813d4cbe94 * Moved created subdirectory src/system/kernel/lock.cpp to new subdirectory
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.

2be99447d8 * Added some comments to the thread flags.
* 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.

4f774c503c * VMArea::Unwire(addr_t, size_t, bool): Don't delete the removed range, but
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.

369111e741 * Removed the VMArea::Wire() version that has to allocate a VMAreaWiredRange.
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).

550376ffb8 * vm_delete_areas(): Changed return type to void (was status_t and not used).
* _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.

feddedab0c x86:
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.

cfefeee3f8 * Changed arch_debug_save_registers() to take an arch-specific structure
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.

085cf27b40 * Added Directory::CreateFile() which can be implemented by file systems to
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.

handle_signals(). Fixes #5567.

28a2172c3f kernel:
* 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.

d40a935560 Boot loader (x86 mmu.cpp):
* 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.

8b3d3d8a15 Correctly handle cases when a thread single-steps into the kernel as it can
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.

ff59ce680d * The low resource handler now empties the cache depot's magazines; before,
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.

dac21d8bfe * map_physical_memory() does now always set a memory type. If none is given (it
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.

40bb94819e * Removed useless return parameter from vm_remove_all_page_mappings().
* 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.

  flag whether the page should be cleared, and one to indicate whether the

72382fa629 * Removed the page state PAGE_STATE_BUSY and instead introduced a vm_page::busy
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.

deee8524b7 * Introduced {malloc,memalign,free}_etc() which take an additional "flags"
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.

cff6e9e406 * The system now holds back a small reserve of committable memory and pages. The
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.

b4e5e49823 MemoryManager:
* 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.

8d1316fd23 Replaced CACHE_DONT_SLEEP by two new flags CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY and
CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE. If the former is given, the slab memory manager
does not wait when reserving memory or pages. The latter prevents area
operations. The new flags add a bit of flexibility. E.g. when allocating page
mapping objects for userland areas CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY is sufficient,
i.e. the allocation will succeed as long as pages are available.

86c794e5c1 slab allocator:
* Implemented a more elaborated raw memory allocation backend (MemoryManager).
  We allocate 8 MB areas whose pages we allocate and map when needed. An area is
  divided into equally-sized chunks which form the basic units of allocation. We
  have areas with three possible chunk sizes (small, medium, large), which is
  basically what the ObjectCache implementations were using anyway.
* Added "uint32 flags" parameter to several of the slab allocator's object
  cache and object depot functions. E.g. object_depot_store() potentially wants
  to allocate memory for a magazine. But also in pure freeing functions it
  might eventually become useful to have those flags, since they could end up
  deleting an area, which might not be allowable in all situations. We should
  introduce specific flags to indicate that.
* Reworked the block allocator. Since the MemoryManager allocates block-aligned
  areas, maintains a hash table for lookup, and maps chunks to object caches,
  we can quickly find out which object cache a to be freed allocation belongs
  to and thus don't need the boundary tags anymore.
* Reworked the slab boot strap process. We allocate from the initial area only
  when really necessary, i.e. when the object cache for the respective
  allocation size has not been created yet. A single page is thus sufficient.

other:
* vm_allocate_early(): Added boolean "blockAlign" parameter. If true, the
  semantics is the same as for B_ANY_KERNEL_BLOCK_ADDRESS.
* Use an object cache for page mappings. This significantly reduces the
  contention on the heap bin locks.

453a2bdd18 Replaced the locking strategy (formerly a recursive lock for the depot and
one for each per CPU store):
* The depot is now protected by a R/W lock combined with a spinlock. It is
  required to either hold read lock + spinlock or just the write lock.
* When accessing the per CPU stores we only need to acquire the read lock
  and disable interrupts. When switching magazines with the depot we
  additionally get the spinlock.
* When allocating a new magazine we do completely unlock.

5662ae4585 Changed the team shutdown process a bit:
* The threads beside the main thread are killed earlier now (in the new
  team_shutdown_team()), before removing the team from the team hash and from
  its process group. This fixes #5296.
* Use a condition variable instead of a semaphore to wait for the non-main
  threads to die. We notify the condition right after a thread has left the
  team. The semaphore was released by the undertaker.
