needed, but now all reserved areas also grab a reference to their address
space.
* Rearranged team tear down to be a bit more sane: the I/O context is removed
first (where semaphores/areas/ports/whatever might still be used), and the
address space is deleted last.
* delete_area() can now remove its address space reference again (due to the
two changes above), and therefore fixes bug #1374.

is used instead of death_entry for team::dead_children.
* Added team::{stopped,continued}_children, which, analoguously to
dead_children, are used to track the state of stopped/continued
children.
* A team does have a job_control_entry, which is allocated at team
creation time. It will be inserted into the parent's
{stopped,continued}_children lists as the team's main thread is
stopped/continued and removed when waitpid() retrieves the child
state. When the team dies the entry is detached from the team and goes
into the parent's dead_children list.
* Removed the wait_for_any field from team_dead_children. It was solely
used to avoid deletion of the contained entries in certain situations.
wait_for_child() (the waitpid() backend) always deletes an entry now,
regardless of whether other threads are waiting; that's in
accordance with the waidpid() specification. wait_for_thread() removes
the entry only, if the caller is the parent of the respective team.
* Introduced team_set_job_control_state() which performes the job
control entry transitions between the respective lists and wakes up
threads waiting in wait_for_child(). It is invoked on team death and
when the team's main thread receives job control signals.
* Reorganized wait_for_child(). It handles WCONTINUED and WUNTRACED now,
too. Removed a block that interpreted the supplied ID as thread ID.
* Added missing parts in waitpid().
Job control starts to work, though it seems to have some glitches.

* get_signal_stack() checked the wrong sig_action field (index is signal-1), also,
it had an off-by-one error in the stack range check.
* factored out a restart_syscall() function to avoid code duplication
* arch_setup_signal_frame() relied on the fact that vregs and the signal stack code
is a multiple of 4 bytes in size.
* Fixed sigaction(): it did return the error code directly instead of setting errno.
* signal() actually had a work-around for the broken sigaction()...
* Replaced the sig_func_t typedef with a sighandler_t typedef - this is non-standard
anyway, but now we're at least compatible with the GNU world instead of introducing
our own solution (BSD seems to use sig_t here, BTW).
* Removed now unused sigval structure from the header; it should be added again as
soon as we start supporting it.
* SA_RESETHAND and SA_ONESHOT are the same thing; the former did not work before.
* Made the non-standard SA_* flags refer to the standard ones instead of the other
way around.
* Added a test application for various signal features - works fine under Haiku,
tested also under Linux and BeOS (the latter fails as it does not support SA_RESTART).
More tests should be added, though.

if the page was already in the "modified" list before. Also, the source page (which is
either mapped directly or copied to the target page) is no longer marked busy before its
final destiny is decided (it didn't have any effect, anyway, since we had its cache

* fixes a dead lock in vm_soft_fault() - the locking scheme enforces you to
lock the address space before a vm_cache, not the other way, around. Since
we need to lock the cache that has our page in fault_get_page(), we violated
that scheme by relocking the address space in order to get access to the
vm_area. Now, we read lock the address space during the whole page fault;
added a TODO that explains why this might not really be desirable, if
we can avoid it (the only way would be to reverse that locking scheme
which would potentially cause the more busy vm_cache locks to be held
longer).
* vm_copy_area() uses the MultiAddressSpaceLocker, but actually forget to
call Lock() on it...
* delete_area() leaks vm_address_space references - but fixing this currently
causes other problems to be investigated; I'll open a bug for that.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21862 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the ref_count from vm_areas. You now always need to have the address
space locked (read or write, depending on what you do) when dealing with
areas.
* Added helper classes for locking the address space: AddressSpace{Read|Write}Locker,
and MultiAddressSpaceLocker which can lock several spaces at once and makes
sure no dead locks can happen.
* resize_area() is now using the MultiAddressSpaceLocker instead of no locking
at all; ie. it should now be safely to use.
* Disabled transfer_area() for now; it will be changed to work like an atomic
clone_area()/delete_area(), that is, it will hand out a new ID for the
transfered area.

that an error can be propagated back to vm_soft_fault().
* Added boolean restart reference parameter to fault_find_page() which
is set to true whenever a condition is it encountered that requires
to start fault_find_page() from the very beginning. fault_get_page()
checks the flag and executes fault_find_page() in a loop, now.
* Removed the panic()s+TODOs in fault_find_page() when a cache became
busy. The restart feature is used in this case.
* fault_find_page(): If after the loop we haven't found a page yet,
and after locking the right cache one turned up, we restart the
function, too, thus avoiding double insertion of a page into a cache.
* Fixed potential dead-lock in fault_get_page(): After inserting a clean
page into a cache other than the top cache (read fault on
copy-on-write area not backed by a file (e.g. the heap)) the dummy
page was removed from the to be locked top cache while we still held a
lock for the lower cache, thus inverting the locking direction
required by the cache locking policy (top -> bottom).
* fault_get_page(): In case of a write access and a readable page found
in a lower cache, vm_cache_remove_consumer() could have replaced our
dummy page with a real page from a collapsed lower cache while we
had unlocked both caches. We didn't check for this condition and
always inserted our freshly allocated page, thus potentially inserting
a duplicate page into the top cache. We do the check now and discard our
page, when another page turned up. Fixes bug #1359.
* fault_get_page(), same if block: Removed unused case for removal of the
dummy page from a non-top cache. We only ever insert it into the top
cache and it should not be moved to another cache. Added an assert.

Inode::WriteDataToBuffer() now loops in case it still couldn't write anything
instead of failing - this fixes a race condition (ie. a device is full message).
* In case the read request got filled two times (while adding the request, and
after waiting for it to become filled), ReadRequest::PutBuffer() overwrote the

from the store into the top cache, which could lead to pages inserted
multiple times into the cache. We don't insert a dummy page in this case
anymore. Instead we mark a freshly allocated page busy and insert that
one. That's exactly the approach the file cache uses too. This does
probably make the whole dummy page special handling in the file cache
obsolete.

This actually fixed two locking bugs in error code paths.

* Simplified the notification framework: removed the updater stuff completely;
it was only there to account for some peculiarities of the node monitor which
we now solved differently.
* NotificationListener no longer includes a doubly linked list link for convenience;
it might want to listen to more than just one service.
* NotificationService cannot have an abstract destructor.
* Changed the _user_stop_watching() syscall to mirror the Be API; ie. it's no
longer possible to just remove some flags separately, just to stop listening
completely.
* Adapted the node monitor implementation to live in the NodeMonitorService class
that uses the new notification framework.
* Removed the public kernel node monitor API - it wasn't useful that way since you
couldn't do a lot with the KMessage in the kernel without using a private API.
Now you will have to use the (private) notification manager to use the node monitor
from inside the kernel. At a later point, we might introduce a public API for that,
too.

* While handling a soft fault: When we temporarily unlock a cache, it

properly, two more panic() ATM, though should be fixed.
* When merging caches, we do now always replace a dummy page in the
upper cache, not only when the concurrent page fault is a read fault.
This prevents a page from the lower (to be discarded) cache from still

_RescanDiskSystems() that scans for either file or partitioning

before, is used from the constructor as well (open_module_list()

* Made InitialDeviceScan() and partition scanning safe to be called a second

volume, now, so that additional disk systems from the boot volume have a
chance to recognize previously unrecognized partitions. This is a
temporary change only; later the disk device manager shall

one, not the one intended for the double fault) since r20131. IOW double faults are
now working again.
* Minor cleanup.

* Minor cleanup, reordered header files to go from private/local to public/global.

* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.
Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

they have been mapped. The previous method relied on their physical
pages living in the identity mapped region, which they wouldn't, when
the boot loader allocated enough memory before.

32 MB the kernel's VM initialization code would run into trouble.
Accessing freshly mapped memory in the generic page mapper would
result in a page fault. To be investigated.
* Apparently in the boot loader the file systems are responsible for
resolving symbolic links (instead of the VFS). We do that now.
