This field forces kernel to track each CPU load all the time. It is not
a problem with the current scheduler on a multicore systems, but on
single core machnies or with any other future scheduler this field may
become just an unnecessary burden. It isn't difficult for an application
to compute CPU load by itself when it needs it.
- The argument buffer contained in the debug_{pre,post}_syscall message structures wasn't large enough to accomodate all
arguments for some syscalls on x86-64, which could potentially have led to kernel memory corruption when using syscall
tracing via the debug API. As such, enlarge it to accomodate 64-bit platforms as well.
- Adjust TeamDebugger/SyscallInfo to discriminate the target architecture and read the arguments when trapping console
output. Gets the latter working on x86-64.
* If at least one image is either B_HAIKU_ABI_GCC_2_ANCIENT or
B_HAIKU_ABI_GCC_2_BEOS almost all areas are marked as executable.
* B_EXECUTE_AREA and B_STACK_AREA are made public. The former is enforced since
the introduction of DEP and apps need it to correctly set area protection.
The latter is currently needed only to recognize stack areas and fix their
protection in compatibility mode, but may also be useful if an app wants
to use sigaltstack from POSIX API.
This address specification is actually not needed since PIC images can be
located anywhere. Only their size is restriced but that is the compiler and
linker concern. Thanks to Alex Smith for pointing that out.
On some 64 bit architectures program and library images have to be mapped in
the lower 2 GB of the address space (due to instruction pointer relative
addressing). Address specification B_RANDOMIZED_IMAGE_ADDRESS ensures that
created area satisfies that requirement.
Randomized equivalent of B_ANY_ADDRESS. When a free space is found (as in
B_ANY_ADDRESS) the base adress is then randomized using _RandomizeAddress
pretty much like it is done in B_RANDOMIZED_BASE_ADDRESS.
B_RAND_BASE_ADDRESS is basically B_BASE_ADDRESS with non-deterministic created
area's base address.
Initial start address is randomized and then the algorithm looks for a large
enough free space in the interval [randomized start, end]. If it fails then
the search is repeated in the interval [original start, randomized start]. In
case it also fails the algorithm falls back to B_ANY_ADDRESS
(B_RANDOMIZED_ANY_ADDRESS when it is implemented) just like B_BASE_ADDRESS does.
Randomization range is limited by kMaxRandomize and kMaxInitialRandomize.
The cookie is used to store the base address of the area that was just
visited. On 64-bit systems, int32 is not sufficient. Therefore, changed
to ssize_t which retains compatibility on x86 while expanding to a
sufficient size on x86_64.
* 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.
* Map build variables HOST_CPU and HOST_ARCH to x86_64, if it they are
* x86 and
64 bit and define the __x86_64__ C macro instead of __INTEL__ in that
case.
* <OS.h>: Also handle __x86_64__.
directory of a file without traversing leaf links (just like lstat()).
* 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 constraint can be expressed more precisely. ATM B_32_BIT_FULL_LOCK is
implemented as B_32_BIT_CONTIGUOUS when B_HAIKU_PHYSICAL_BITS > 32, though.

via exit() (the calling thread will drop into the debugger instead).
* The DebugServer now uses this flag by default.
* Added TODO comment: the default debugger should already be able to set a flag
like this in order to close a race condition between dropping a thread into
the debugger and setting the flag.
* Cleaned up the debug_server sources a bit.

system_time_nsecs(), returning the system time in nanoseconds. The function
is only really implemented for x86. For the other architectures
system_time() * 1000 is returned.

each attribute access needed 3 syscalls, now only one as it should.
* Renamed the new Haiku call fs_open_attr() to fs_fopen_attr(), and added a new
function fs_open_attr() that takes a path (same semantics as the
fs_[f]open_attr_dir() functions already present in BeOS).
* Merged former _kern_open_attr(), and _kern_create_attr() into one syscall.
* Cleaned up vfs.h.

there are prefixed with the respective architecture name. Useful for remote
debugging a different architecture.
* <x86/arch_debugger.h>: Introduced a structure for the FPU state, so that it
isn't left to the debugger.
* Removed the _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() syscall. Was originally intended for
bdb compatiblity, but isn't really needed.
* Kernel x86 arch_get_debug_cpu_state(): The use of fnsave was broken, since
it reinits the FPU after saving the state. This resulted in weird results
when debugging functions using the FPU. We now use fxsave, if available.
Otherwise fnsave + frstor should be used -- not fully implemented yet.
Same for arch_set_debug_cpu_state().

* Renamed time.c to time.cpp.
* set_timezone() now uses localtime_r() instead of localtime(), and will also
no longer fail in case there was no timezone symlink before.
* Cleaned up OS.h header.

* The bulk of the work -- i.e. juggling the software and hardware breakpoints,
watchpoints, and memory reads/writes -- is done in the new class
BreakpointManager.
* For the architectures a few capability macros have to be defined, one
pointing to the software breakpoint instruction opcode. Done for x86.
* Some more simplifications in the user debugger code, made possible by the
recently introduced debugger_changed_condition attribute.

and the kernel read those values from the shared object (if available). In the
runtime loader this should eventually replace the gcc version guessing method
currently used (at least for shared objects built for Haiku). The optional
packages need to be rebuilt first, though.
