mjw for the hint. Fixes bug #1516.
* Changed _{kern,user}_create_symlink() to no longer check the supplied
link string. BeOS seems to do that, but this is not standard
conforming. The previous implementation even used the path processed
by check_path(), which would potentially have appended a ".".
* Some style cleanup.

* Made the kernel rootfs reusable by the FS Shell and removed the
copy in the FS Shell sources.

* the page writer don't allow to block, while all other writers do. This fixes
bug #1509. The reason the page writer needs this is because it marks several
pages from different caches as busy.
* Fixed a warning about ASSERT being defined already in BFS, since
util/DoublyLinkedList.h now includes debug.h.

vfs_select.h, respectively moved most of it into the new kernel
private header wait_for_objects.h.
* Added new experimental API functions wait_for_objects[_etc](). They
work pretty much like poll(), but also for semaphores, ports, and
threads.
* Removed the "ref" parameter from notify_select_events() and the
select_sync_pool functions as well as from fd_ops::fd_[de]select(). It
is no longer needed. The FS interface select() hook still has it,
though -- the VFS will always pass 0.
* de]select_fd() take a select_info* instead of a select_sync* + ref
pair, now. Added respective functions for semaphores, ports, and
threads.

* In select_fd(): First get the file descriptor, then check whether any
events have to be selected at all. This has the advantage that the
caller can interpret an error return code as invalid FD. Consequently
common_poll() no longer checks FD validity separately -- this was a
race condition.
* common_poll() always selects POLLERR and POLLHUP now, which it has to
do according to the specs.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22400 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Reworked the select support:
- The io_context additionally stores a table of lists of select_infos,
which enables it to deselect events of a pending select() when
closing a FD. This prevents a race condition potentially causing a
write to stale memory.
- The opaque selectsync* passed to FSs is now actually a select_info*.
This was necessary, since the FDs deselect() hook (unlike the
select() hook) doesn't take a "ref" argument and deselecting a
single info (e.g. caused by a premature close()) was not possible.
The select() hook's "ref" argument has become superfluous.
- It should now be relatively easy to implement a poll_on_steroids()
that can also wait for objects other than FDs (e.g. semaphores,
ports, threads etc.).
* Set/reset the signal mask in common_select(). This makes pselect()
work as required.
* Reorganized vfs_resize_fd_table().

writers.
* Removed the optimization for piping data between two threads of the
same team. This greatly simplifies the code. It seems to me the case
is very uncommon; it could be added back later, though.
* Basically rewrote reading from and writing to the pipe:
- A blockable writer can now write more than what is currently
available in the ring buffer.
- Writing respects the PIPE_BUF non-interleaving limit, though our
headers don't seem to define PIPE_BUF anywhere.
- Unblock writers, when the last reader is gone and send those that
haven't written anything yet a SIGPIPE. Fixes bug #1476.
* Correctly implemented select() support. We were only notifying
writers. We manage two separate select sync pools per pipe now: one
for the reader end and one for the writer end.
* Reading/writing from the root dir does no longer end in KDL.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22378 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the vm_cache/vm_store ref_count duality that besides being a bit ugly
also created the page dameon cache retrieval problem: now, only areas (and
cache consumers) retrieve a reference to the store (and therefore, the vnode).
The page daemon doesn't need to care about this at all anymore, and the pseudo
references of the vm_cache could be removed again.
* Rearranged deletion of vnodes such that its ID can be reused directly after
fs_remove_vnode() has been called.
* vm_page_allocate_page() no longer panics when it runs out of pages, but just
waits for new pages to become available using the new sFreeCondition condition
variable - to make sure this happens in an acceptable time frame, it'll
trigger a run of the low memory handlers.
* Implemented a page_thief() that steals inactive pages from caches and puts
them into the free queue. It runs as a low memory handler.
* The file cache now sets the usage count on the pages it inserts into the
cache (needs some rework though, cache_io() doesn't do it yet).
* Instead of panicking, the kernel will currently dead lock in low memory
situations, since BFS does a bit too much in bfs_release_vnode().
* Some minor cleanup.

and the page daemon.

* Added file_system_module_info::flags (analogously to
partition_module_info::flags) which indicate which disk device
features the FS supports.
* Replaced the
file_system_module_info/partition_module_info::supports_*()
hooks by a get_supported_operations() hook and for partitioning
systems additionally a get_supported_child_operations() hook.
* Updated file and partitioning systems accordingly.
* Updated fs_shell accordingly.
* Updated the DDM accordingly. The syscall interface remains unchanged,
though.
* _user_supports_initializing_partition() also checks whether the parent
partitioning system is content now.

* Inode::MayReleaseWriter() would release the semaphore too often; therefore,
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
output data. This fixes bug #1331.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21830 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* 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.

longer translated into 0.

* Refactored RescanDiskSystems(). Pulled out a function
_RescanDiskSystems() that scans for either file or partitioning
systems. RescanDiskSystems(), which scanned for file systems only
before, is used from the constructor as well (open_module_list()
works in the early boot process since a while).
* Made InitialDeviceScan() and partition scanning safe to be called a second
time. We call it directly after the kernel has mounted the boot
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
automatically find out when new disk systems/devices/whatever are
available.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21655 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* 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.

removed in several cases.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now always gives out a reference to the cache it
returns; if it needs to allocate a new one, the vnode owns one reference,
and the caller another.
* therefore, file_cache_create() now owns a reference to its vm_cache_ref, and
frees it in file_cache_delete().

stdin/out/err descriptors in programs started from Tracker and
Deskbar.

* Removed send_notification().
* Reimplemented notify_listener(). It used the unimplemented
send_notification(). Now it has a chance to work. Note that
notify_listener() is obsolete. I would already have removed it, if
there weren't lots of FS implementations still using it (Hint!).

vnode::covered_by fields. Together with sMountOpLock it allows write
access, either lock alone suffices for read access. Before
sMountOpLock had to be acquired for read (and write) access, which
meant that while mounting/unmounting a FS path resolution would have
to wait. In case of the UserlandFS this would even cause a deadlock
while mounting if the client tried to resolve the path of the device
to be mounted (e.g. by opening it).
* Added a clarifying comment about read access to the
fs_mount::covers_vnode/root_vnode field and removed locking in
resolve_volume_root_to_mount_point() which was not necessary for
explained reasons.

name (saves copying the name, if that has to be done anyway) and added a
wrapper version with the old interface.
* dir_vnode_to_path() was broken for file systems that didn't support
the get_vnode_name() hook. It resolved the mount point too early, so
that it was searching the mount point and not the FS root dir for the
node. It uses the get_vnode_name() function now (before resolving the
mount point).
