This will keep it alive longer until a) the block cache no longer
uses the heap, and b) we get a better heap without a fixed size.

VFS's interface, so that a file system only has to implement one interface.
As a side effect, the automatic file system detection may now work (not yet
tested, though).

following 1152 MB - that area only guarantees that the heap can grow this much before
the application need the memory for something else. And even then, the heap range
is reused from top-to-bottom, allowing for maximum heap usage. Of course, if the
memory after the heap range is not claimed yet, it can still be claimed by the heap,
too. Added new syscall to create the reserved range.
Fixed a bug in vm_delete_areas(): when it removed reserved areas, the area list
could get messed up.
Fixed a bug in resize_area(): resized areas could never be deleted (missing vm_put_area())!
resize_area() now supports reserved regions (but not perfectly yet, see ToDo items).

only if memory becomes tight, and then the range is used from end to
start.
This is useful to reserve heap address ranges.

along the protection flags).
Changed the handling of B_STACK_AREA types and anonymous vm_areas: now
every area can overcommit if B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA was specified.
B_STACK_AREA areas are still automatically overcommitting, but
B_KERNEL_STACK_AREA areas no longer.
vm_store_anonymous_noswap.c now only tests for guard pages if there were
any specified which is only done for B_STACK_AREA areas.

- has_signals_pending() is not declared in Be headers, and it isn't declared in
our KernelExport.h anymore, too
- removed snooze_etc() from KernelExport.h, as it's already defined in OS.h
(and really exported by libroot.so).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@12506 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Lots of cleanup:
- moved B_NO_ENABLE_COUNTER flag definition out of int.h to KernelExport.h, as it's
described in the BeBook (although it's probably not really used that often :))
- int.c no longer has any platform dependent code (+ 0x20 on interrupt numbers is gone);
it's now entirely handled in the arch/x86/ section.
- the io_vectors[] is now statically initialized, instead of allocated from the heap
- removed {install|remove}_interrupt_handler(); they weren't that useful, arch_smp_init()
is now calling install_io_interrupt_handler() correctly instead
- introduced a new arch_int.h header file that currently contains NUM_IO_VECTORS only
(though on x86, it also has ARCH_INTERRUPT_BASE == 0x20).
- changed the return type from {install|remove}_io_interrupt_handler() from "long" to
"status_t"
- rearranged and cleaned the PIC initialization code, made the PIC code more prominent
- changed comments that talk about a non existing 8239 (the PIC chip is actually 8259)
- moved arch/x86/interrupts.h to the source directory, as it's not used outside
- added BeOS compatible interrupts_enabled() function, that should replace our
equivalent (and private) are_interrupts_enabled()
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@12477 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Also changed readlink() to be POSIX compliant with those changes.
"ls -l" does now resolve links properly again (the new coreutils version outlined the problems).

create_area() and friends should fail if it's not supported.

for these changes. I was mostly just staring in amazement at the screen
while Axel and Thomas were discussing IA32 internals. A particularly
fascinating moment was when Thomas produced the cause of a bug we had
been trying to track down for hours off the top of his head (of course
iret behaves specially when the NT bit is set :-). His slowness must be
excused though, since he hadn't slept for more then 30 hours. ;-)
The code doesn't wholeheartedly deal with multi-processor machines yet.
Axel will certainly do some cleanup...

flag. Now, it will choose how to set the granularity by evaluating the
limit.
This call was actually already used this way in the kernel, so that
the TLS and TSS segments were much too large (harmless but incorrect).

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.

Moved ptentry/pdentry to arch_vm_translation_map.c and renamed them to
page_table_entry and page_directory_entry.
Fixed a race condition that happened when memory was remapped (which
can currently happen because lock_memory() does not work correctly, and
there might be other conditions as well, like certain vm_store fault
handlers). Now, page table and directory entries are updated atomically.

the APM driver to see it at work).
The frame buffer console now creates such a boot item to give a potential
VESA driver access to the boot frame buffer configuration.

MenuItem::SetData() now asks for a const parameter.
The safemode menu options now set their MenuItem::Data() to the safemode option string.

instead B_KERNEL_PROTECTION and B_USER_PROTECTION.
Unlike before, B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA is now only in B_KERNEL_AREA_FLAGS,
but no longer in B_KERNEL_PROTECTION. This fixes a couple of problems
when B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA was defined without specifing read/write
access.
PAGE_PRESENT|MODIFIED|ACCESSED are in the same "namespace" as the
protection flags, and therefore, shouldn't overlap.

with the bit number, not the respective mask).
* Added a small hack to allow single stepping to work in qemu.
Apparently the BS bit in DR6 is not set when the debug exception
is handled. So we always assume that a single step event occurred,
when we couldn't recognize any other event, if the hack is enabled.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@11998 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added initialization function. Currently only need to init the
single step hack for qemu.
* Fixed a deadlock when the nub thread destroyed the debug info. It was
waiting for itself.
* Moved the filling in the origin info of the debug messages into
thread_hit_debug_event_internal(). No need for code duplication.
* Writing to user memory can now be partial. We also change the area
protection, if it wasn't writable. Necessary for setting software
breakpoints.

removed unused headers. Adapted sources to still compile with the new
header locations.

team boundaries; if you didn't actually call close() from within the
application, the close-hook of the file system was never called.
Also, you could close files of other teams (ie. invoke close on a
shared file descriptor).

they are public now, they might become private later on.
It's almost the same as acquire_sem() but allows you to release another semaphore
atomically. This makes condvar implementations and the like very simple to do.
Added B_CHECK_PERMISSION flags to the user calls, although it's not honored yet.

managing select notification information.
* Renamed vfs_select.c to *.cpp and fixed the resulting C++ compiler
errors. Added tracing macros.

and free_*_cookie() hooks of the underlying FS were always called
together when the reference count of the FD dropped to zero. When
blocking operations (reading/writing) on the FD were still in progress
this would never happen, though. Now we additionally maintain an open
count and call the close_*() hook when it drops to zero.

* user_debug_break_or_watchpoint_hit() into separate functions for
break- and watchpoints. The one for breakpoints gets another parameter
which indicates whether the breakpoint was a soft- or hardware
breakpoint. This info is also sent to the debugger.

* Added sigaction_etc(). It's just a sigaction() for which the thread
in question can be specified.

not to be notified.
* Added debugger commands for setting/getting of thread signal ignore
masks and signal handlers.
* Renamed user_debug_fault_occurred() to a more correct
user_debug_exception_occurred(). It no longer sends a `stopped' message,
but the new one dedicated to exceptions. Additionally the number of the
signal is supplied that will be sent, when the thread continues (without
indicating to ignore the event).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@11703 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added _kern_image_relocated() and _kern_loading_app_failed(), which
are invoked by the loader to provide the kernel with more info.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@11689 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Implemented _user_wait_for_debugger().
* Reworked a few bits to ensure that after a remove_team_debugger() or
after requesting a debugger handover the debugger doesn't get any more
messages.
* When the debugger is removed or dies, the debugged threads should now
cleanup their debug info and continue, instead of waiting at their
debug port forever.
All the new features are not tested. Will happen, when gdb will be
debugged.
