* The kernel now opens up to 8 debugger modules (and puts them into an array;
maybe we'll want to switch to a doubly linked list when there is the need).
* Implemented an example debugger module that prints a stack trace of the
current thread when the kernel debugger is entered (not included in the
image).

was a race condition when more than one CPU would enter the debugger at the
same time (or rather before one CPU could stop all the others). We now use the
inDebugger variable to tell if someone is already in the debugger and then
only process inter CPU messages and retry entering the debugger.
Since sending the synchronous broadcast most of the time hung over here with
SMP enabled I removed the synchronous flag and added a simple spin to give the
other CPUs a chance to process the halt request. Added comments that explain
the reasons and a ToDo to revert to synchronous delivery once we fixed the
problem. The kernel debugger is now usable on my quad core.

systems it can easily happen that the thread gets removed from the queue (when
it times out for example) during the time we don't hold the sem lock.

at the end of that loop we guaranteed a crash when this special handling was
triggered.

* "team" without arg prints info about the current team.

usable.

This should be in line with all uses of scheduler_enqueue_in_run_queue() and
simplifies a few places where it is used.

enqueued into the run_queue again. Modified the workaround to a panic in the
scheduler so we notice when something else does the same.

A thread that just missed a semaphore and put itself into the sems notify
queue could be enqueued into the run queue by release_sem_etc() of another
CPU before the CPU running the thread had a chance to reschedule it. Therefore
there is a timeframe where a thread can be running on one CPU and already be
in the run queue again. In this case no other CPU may schedule this thread
because then it would overwrite the threads' CPU pointer which kills the rest
of the scheduler logic, smp_get_current_cpu() and everything that depends on
that (like the kernel debugger). The more CPUs you have the easier this could
happen, up to the point where it was always triggered during boot on my quad
core system. The system would freeze and you could not enter the kernel
debugger, because two CPUs thought they were the same and disabled each other
through SMP communication. This makes booting my system stable and might fix
the occasional hang on boot for other SMP systems with only 2 CPUs/cores.
I've put a ToDo comment that details this above the workaround. Maybe we
should fix this in another way. Reviews, comments and suggestions welcome ;-)

the command would overwrite its own output, not always on the bottom of the
screen.

* Added block_writer thread that continuously writes back blocks for all current
block caches.
* A block cache now maintains the number of dirty blocks if it doesn't use
transactions. That knowledge could also be used in block_cache_sync()...
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23698 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
For commands with this flag set, the parser won't parse the
arguments provided (it will only check for matching parentheses and
brackets), but will pass the unparsed argument list string to the
command instead.
* Set the new flag for the "expr" command, so one doesn't have to quote
the expression to evaluate anymore (or put it in parentheses).
* Fixed tokenizing of quoted and unquoted strings in expression mode.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23697 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* This should speed up writing a transaction considerably.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23694 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the public hash_grow() function again (at least for now, it's only
private).
* Removed the newSize argument from hash_grow(); it will compute the new size
automatically.
* The block cache is now using hash_insert_grow() instead of hash_insert()
which should make hash lookups much faster with some 10 thousand blocks,
also increased the initial table size from 32 to 1024...

printing the last 30 entries, it continues the last iteration, thus
making the more common use case more comfortable. The old functionality
is still available via "traced 0".

kSyscallParametersInfos to kExtendedSyscallInfos) and added "name"

the syscall function symbol anymore, which speeds up printing/filtering
of those entries dramatically.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23686 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added "printteam" switch to "traced" command, enabling the printing of
the team ID.
* Added "team" filter to the "traced" command expression language.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23684 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
comfortable number. Somewhat more complex "traced" filter expressions
tended to exceed the old limit easily.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23683 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Made the iterator static, so that it's possible to move from the
iteration position of the previous invocation to the current start,
instead of always having to start from the beginning or the end.
* Filtered backward iteration:
- Restrict the range to dump to the entries between the first and the
last filter match.
- Use new FILTER_MATCH entry flag to avoid applying the filter a
second time in the print loop.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23681 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
vm_cache_write_modified() here anymore since quite some time, it actually
doesn't make any sense to call the file system's "fsync" method here.
This should make syncing all file systems much faster when many vnodes are
in use.
* If a file system doesn't use the file cache, it can still just sync everything
it needs to in its "sync" method.
* Added a TODO item on how to improve sync speed further, if necessary.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23679 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
write code aligned to what one has written in the comment (or the
other way around).
* Made trace_entry structure doubly linked, by introducing a
previous_size member. By using bit fields, shrinking the flags field
to 4 bits, and not saving the lower two bits of size and previous_size
(which are always 0 due to alignment), the structure remains 4 byte
sized and can still address the same entry size.
* kBufferSize is no longer one less than it could be.
* "traced" command:
- Use static variable for the iteration state rather then cluttering
the temporary debug variable name space.
- The <count> parameter can now be negative, in which case the entries
before (and including) <start> are printed.
- Added a new optional parameter, specifying the maximal number of
entries to be filtered. Filtered iteration is beautifully
comfortable now.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23677 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
We use an indirect page descriptor instead of pointing the page to itself like on x86.

disabled in most cases.
* Wrapping in make_space() was broken. When wrapping the second time or
later, sFirstEntry would already be greater than sAfterLastEntry and
resetting sAfterLastEntry to the beginning of the buffer would
erroneously "free" all entries between the buffer start and the
original sAfterLastEntry. If the tracing buffer was small enough,
the odds were that a not yet fully initialized entry would already
be re-allocated, causing all kinds of weird behavior.
* When an entry that is not yet fully initialized needs to be
freed, we let the allocation causing the freeing fail. We can't wait
for the entry, since we've interrupts disabled and since the entry
initialization might even try to allocate more (buffer) entries.
* make_space() is now safe to be called in any situation, and
allocate_entry() will do that, which simplifies things there and
avoids a few duplicate checks.
* Moved maximum allocation size check from alloc_tracing_buffer() to
allocate_entry(). Just in case... :-)

boolean operators ("not", "and", "or") and filters matching thread IDs
or contained strings.
I'm still not fully happy with the command. It should be possible to
define a filter and then comfortably scroll through the matching
entries. Currently having to specify an index range of the unfiltered
entries is rather unhandy in combination with filtering.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23658 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
So now there's a central place to enable tracing in general and for
individual components.

its parent while still holding the team spinlock. We were racing with
wait_for_child(), since after the child invoked
team_set_job_control_state(), the parent thread could continue as soon
as the team spinlock was released. The SIGCHLD could thus arrive way
later and interrupt another syscall. This could be reproduced with the
compile_bench.sh script from time to time: When interrupted while
waiting for the next subprocess, the gcc frontend would delete a still
needed temporary file.
The whole thing is actually only a problem, because we don't support
automatic syscall restarts yet.

strings from userland and print them.

checks it now.
* Check for NULL pointer in alloc_tracing_buffer_strcpy(), and also
determine the length of userland strings before allocating the buffer
(using user_strlcpy()).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23619 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
with a 0 size to user_strlcpy() is OK. This way one can use it as a safe
strnlen().
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23617 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
we use a uint16 size internally (and that has to include the length of
the trace_entry structure, too.
* We now track how many entries have been written to the log during the
runtime.

blocks into the new transaction, but it would set that transaction on all
blocks of the old transaction, too. Also, it did not correctly update the
num_blocks/sub_num_blocks fields of the old transaction. Even worse, it did
return B_OK instead of the ID of the new transaction...
* get_writable_cached_block() did not correctly maintain the number of blocks
in the sub transaction.
* write_cached_block() did not free the original_data of a block when it wrote
it back as part of a previous transaction.
* Changed "cookie" for cache_next_block_in_transaction() to "long", so it will
be 64 bits when needed.
* Improved the API for detaching sub transactions: you can now get the blocks
of only the main (parent) transaction as well, added new
cache_block_in_main_transaction() function.
* BFS now flushes the log when there is no space left for the current
transaction.
* _WriteTransactionToLog() allocated a "vecs" array, but never freed it.
* _WriteTransactionToLog() now also supports detaching the current sub
transaction if the whole thing is getting too large (it will now also panic
if that doesn't work out).
* Removed a useless optimization: making the blocks available in the cache
isn't really needed, as all blocks in a transaction are locked into the
cache, anyway.
* Implemented Transaction::WriteBlocks().
* Minor cleanup, removed some dead code, fixed warnings in the fs_shell's
block_cache when compiled with debug output on.

* "traced" command:
- Was printing one more entry than asked to.
- Fixed broken index handling. They were starting at 0, but the last
one was sEntries nevertheless. We consistently let them start at 1,
now. 0 can be passed as special index, causing the last entries to
be printed.
- Added options "backward"/"forward" which will print the entries
preceding respectively succeeding the ones printed on the previous
invocation. The command is continuable in this case, i.e. simply
pressing RET afterwards will reinvoke the command, allowing for
comfortable scrolling through a long list of entries.
- Added detailed usage message.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23607 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* With post syscall debugging enabled, the x86 syscall handling didn't
remove all parameters from the stack after calling the respective user
debugger hook. Should have been harmless though, since the following
code didn't rely on the stack being in order.
* Added syscall pre/post (kernel) tracing functions
trace_{pre,post}_syscall(). They are generic, but need to be invoked
by the architecture specific syscall code. Currently only done for
x86.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23600 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added TODO that uninitialized entries must not be discarded.

invoke_debugger_command() is now automatically preceded by
"usage: <command name>", so the string passed to
add_debugger_command_etc() shouldn't contain it anymore.

before releasing our cache reference. Otherwise removing a vnode (triggered
by releasing the cache in our thread) could need pages we still own.
* Put the caches and pages into a union to save stack space; they are not
needed at the same time.

add_debugger_command(), but additionally takes parameters "usage"
and "flags".
* Added add_debugger_command_alias() which creates another name for an
existing command.
* Added print_debugger_command_usage() to print a command's usage.
* invoke_debugger_command() intercepts invocations with "--help" and
prints the command's usage text, if it is known. If unknown, the
command will be called normally.
* Made use of the new functions in debug.cpp.

a command is executed anymore. Instead the least recently used
temporary variable is overwritten, if there's no free slot for a new
temporary variable.
* Removed the special handling for the command result variable ("_"). It
just works like any other temporary variable, now.
* Individual temporary variables can be removed (e.g. using the "unset"
command).
* Added unset_all_debug_variables() and "unset_all" command to unset
all persistent and temporary variables.
* Removed remove_all_temporary_debug_variables and renamed
remove_debug_variable() to unset_debug_variable().

(so we can't allocate more physical pages than virtual address space
anymore, but so what?).
* Used the new CACHE_LARGE_SLAB flag as a temporary work-around; else
the slab would easily create several thousands of areas, which our
area code (and kernel heap) can't really handle that well (gets
awfully slow).
* Block caches with the same size could share the same slab, but we
don't do that yet.

paging support to KDL (but not the on-screen debug output for now).
* Defaults to "on", use the new "paging" KDL command to turn it off (or on
again).
* When pressing 'q' while it is waiting for a key, it will now eat the rest
of the commands output (helpful for slow screen output of a large data set).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23566 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Fixed the usage text of the "help" KDL command.
* Made the "ambiguous command" warning shorter, so that it will still fit in
the exception buffer.

* As a temporary work-around for the current slab allocator's area usage,
I added the CACHE_LARGE_SLAB flag, which will force the allocator to
use larger areas.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23563 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23556 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

after the first command).

debugger expression language. By default it reads a uint32 value.
Another target size (1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes) can be specified in braces
after the "*" (e.g. "*{2}address" for uint16).

* The kernel debugger does now define some temporary variables when
entered (current thread and team, etc.).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23549 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
that is a little more powerful than BeOS'. It features:
- Persistent and temporary uint64 variables. The former kind is set
only by the user. The latter (those prefixed "_") can be set
automatically by commands, thus e.g. making it easier to access
members of a dumped structure. They are unset when the next command
is invoked. The special temporary variable "_" is defined as a
command's return value.
- Expressions can contain nested command invocations using brackets
("[ ... ]").
- Command lines are parsed by the expression parser, too. They can
contain command invocations (in brackets) and expressions (in
parentheses).
* Added debugger commands:
- expr: Evaluates the given expression and prints the result.
- unset: Undefines a variable.
- vars: Prints the values of all defined variables.
* Moved debugger command code into its own source file.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23546 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Made the block_cache KDL command dump a bit more useful info (number of
referenced and dirty blocks).
* Minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23540 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* with 1 GB or more, the semaphore limit is now 131072 instead of 65536.
* double the heap when there is 1 GB or more (64 MB).
* the low memory handler now also watches semaphore usage; in the end,
we need a low resource handler, not a low memory handler.
* create_sem_etc() no longer calls vfs_free_unused_vnodes() directly as
this could actually deadlock (at least because the address space is a
R/W lock, not a recursive lock).

* alloc_tracing_buffer() no longer allocates anything when you ask for
a zero byte buffer.
* Fixed warning.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23533 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* improved the "block_cache" KDL command: it can now also dump blocks,
added support for the "--help" argument.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23532 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Don't execute a command anymore, if the given prefix is ambiguous.
* Added tab completion for commands.
* Added on-the-fly help while typing a command line. It is triggered
by pressing tab at a position after the space following the command.
It is implemented by calling the command with argument "--help", which
doesn't work yet with most commands, but some already print their
usage in this case.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23521 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
