* Thread creation and switching is working fine, however threads do not yet
get interrupted because I've not implemented hardware interrupt handling
yet (I'll do that next).
* I've made some changes to struct iframe: I've removed the e/r prefixes
from the member names for both 32/64, so now they're just named ip, ax,
bp, etc. This makes it easier to write code that works with both 32/64
without having to deal with different iframe member names.
* Some things are currently ifndef'd out completely for x86_64 because
they aren't implemented, there's a few other ifdef's to handle x86_64
differences but most of the code works unchanged.
* Renamed some i386_* functions to x86_*.
* Added a temporary method for setting the current thread on x86_64
(a global variable, not SMP safe). This will be changed to be done
via the GS segment but I've not implemented that yet.
Not many changes seeing as there's not much x86_64 stuff done yet. Small
differences are handled with ifdefs, large differences (descriptors.h,
struct iframe) have separate headers under arch/x86/32 and arch/x86/64.
* The vm86 code or the code running in virtual 8086 mode may clobber the
%fs register that we use for the CPU dependent thread local storage
(TLS). Previously the vm86 code would simply restore %fs on exit, but
this doesn't always work. If the thread got unscheduled while running
in virtual 8086 mode and was then rescheduled on a different CPU, the
vm86 exit code would restore the %fs register with the TLS value of
the old CPU, causing anything using TLS in userland to crash later on.
Instead we skip the %fs register restore on exit (as do the other
interrupt return functions) and explicitly update the potentially
clobbered %fs by calling x86_set_tls_context(). This will repopulate
the %fs register with the TLS value for the right CPU. Fixes#8068.
* Made the static set_tls_context() into x86_set_tls_context() and made
it available to others to faciliate the above.
* Sync the vm86 specific interrupt code with the changes from hrev23370,
using the iframe pop macro to properly return. Previously what was
pushed in int_bottom wasn't poped on return.
* Account for the time update macro resetting the in_kernel flag and
reset it to 1, as we aren't actually returning to userland. This
didn't cause any harm though as only the time tracking is using that
flag so far.
* Some minor cleanup.
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes#5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes#1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes#6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes#5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes#5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes#7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

* The team and thread kernel structures have been renamed to Team and Thread
respectively and moved into the new BKernel namespace.
* Several (kernel add-on) sources have been converted from C to C++ since
private kernel headers are included that are no longer C compatible.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed gcc 2 build (warnings mainly in the scary firewire bus manager).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40196 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Generalized address checks. The debugger can now also read the commpage.
* Added new syscall _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() to get the CPU state of a
not running thread. Introduced arch_get_thread_debug_cpu_state() for that
purpose, which is only implemented for x86 ATM (uses the new
i386_get_thread_user_iframe()).
* Don't allow a debugger to change a thread's "esp" anymore. That's the esp
register in the kernel. "user_esp" can still be changed.
* Generally set RF (resume flag) in eflags in interrupt handlers, not only
after a instruction breakpoint debug exception. This should prevent
breakpoints from being triggered more than once (e.g. when the breakpoint is
on an instruction that can cause a page fault). I still saw those with bdb
in VMware, but that might be a VMware bug.

* Implemented automatic syscall restarts:
- A syscall can indicate that it has been interrupted and can be
restarted by setting a respective bit in thread::flags. It can
store parameters it wants to be preserved for the restart in
thread::syscall_restart::parameters. Another thread::flags bit
indicates whether it has been restarted.
- handle_signals() clears the restart flag, if the handled signal
has a handler function installed and SA_RESTART is not set. Another
thread flag (THREAD_FLAGS_DONT_RESTART_SYSCALL) can prevent syscalls
from being restarted, even if they could be (not used yet, but we
might want to use it in resume_thread(), so that we stay
behaviorally compatible with BeOS).
- The architecture specific syscall handler restarts the syscall, if
the restart flag is set. Implemented for x86 only.
- Added some support functions in the private <syscall_restart.h> to
simplify the syscall restart code in the syscalls.
- Adjusted all syscalls that can potentially be restarted accordingly.
- _user_ioctl() sets new thread flag THREAD_FLAGS_IOCTL_SYSCALL while
calling the underlying FS's/driver's hook, so that syscall restarts
can also be supported there.
* thread_at_kernel_exit() invokes handle_signals() in a loop now, as
long as the latter indicates that the thread shall be suspended, so
that after waking up signals received in the meantime will be handled
before the thread returns to userland. Adjusted handle_signals()
accordingly -- when encountering a suspending signal we don't check
for further signals.
* Fixed sigsuspend(): Suspending the thread and rescheduling doesn't
result in the correct behavior. Instead we employ a temporary
condition variable and interruptably wait on it. The POSIX test
suite test passes, now.
* Made the switch_sem[_etc]() behavior on interruption consistent.
Depending on when the signal arrived (before the call or when already
waiting) the first semaphore would or wouldn't be released. Now we
consistently release it.
* Refactored _user_{read,write}[v]() syscalls. Use a common function for
either pair. The iovec version doesn't fail anymore, if anything could
be read/written at all. It also checks whether a complete vector
could be read/written, so that we won't skip data, if the underlying
FS/driver couldn't read/write more ATM.
* Some refactoring in the x86 syscall handler: The int 99 and sysenter
handlers use a common subroutine to avoid code duplication.

23139 into trunk, with roughly the following changes (for details svn
log the branch):
* The int 99 syscall handler is now fully in assembly.
* Added a sysenter/sysexit handler and use it on Pentiums that support
it (via commpage).
* Got rid of i386_handle_trap(). A bit of functionality was moved into
the assembly handler which now uses a jump table to call C functions
handling the respective interrupt.
* Some optimizations to get user debugger support code out of the
interrupt handling path.
* Introduced a thread::flags fields which allows to skip handling of
rare events (signals, user debug enabling/disabling) on the
common interrupt handling path.
* Got rid of the explicit iframe stack. The iframes can still be
retrieved by iterating through the stack frames.
* Made the commpage an architecture independent feature. It's used for
the real time data stuff (instead of creating a separate area).
* The x86 CPU modules can now provide processor optimized versions for
common functions (currently memcpy() only). They are used in the
kernel and are provided to the userland via commpage entries.
* Introduced build system feature allowing easy use of C structure
member offsets in assembly code.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed merge conflict in src/system/kernel/arch/x86/arch_debug.cpp
(caused by refactoring and introduction of "call" debugger command).

to be able to follow the stack trace into userland.
No symbols there, yet, though.

Introduced a gBootFrameStack that is used until the first thread structure
is available - this allows stack crawls and useful register dumps during
early startup. Could also be solved differently by making sure there is
always a thread structure installed in %dr3 (ie. the boot thread would
get a static thread structure instead of a static iframe stack only).
This might be a better solution as i386_handle_trap() would no longer
need to check for an existing thread structure.

needed to get the topmost user iframe. Added i386_get_user_iframe() for
exactly that purpose.
* Added reinitialization of user debugging for the new thread when
switching the context.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@11523 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Changed the file_descriptor structure (more status_t, name removed).
Changed "extern inline" to "static inline" in thread.h/arch_thread.h as those
also work with -O0 -g.
Added prototypes for [arch_cpu_]user_strlcpy().
