This is not necessary, since userland teams' page directories also
contain the kernel mappings, and avoids unnecessary TLB flushes. To make
that possible the vm_translation_map_arch_info objects are reference
counted now.
This optimization reduces the kernel time of the Haiku build on my
machine with SMP disabled a few percent, but interestingly the total
time decreases only marginally. Haven't tested with SMP yet, but for
full impact CPU affinity would be needed.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28287 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
added vm_memcpy_from_physical() and vm_memcpy_physical_page(), and
added respective functions to the vm_translation_map operations. The
architecture specific implementation can now decide how to implement
them most efficiently. Added generic implementations that can be used,
though.
* Changed vm_{get,put}_physical_page(). The former no longer accepts
flags (the only flag PHYSICAL_PAGE_DONT_WAIT wasn't needed anymore).
Instead it returns an implementation-specific handle that has to be
passed to the latter. Added vm_{get,put}_physical_page_current_cpu()
and *_debug() variants, that work only for the current CPU,
respectively when in the kernel debugger. Also adjusted the
vm_translation_map operations accordingly.
* Made consequent use of the physical memory operations in the source
tree.
* Also adjusted the m68k and ppc implementations with respect to the
vm_translation_map operation changes, but they are probably broken,
nevertheless.
* For x86 the generic physical page mapper isn't used anymore. It is
suboptimal in any case. For systems with small memory it is too much
overhead, since one can just map the complete physical memory (that's
not done yet, though). For systems with large memory it counteracts
the VM strategy to reuse the least recently used pages. Since those
pages will most likely not be mapped by the page mapper anymore, it
will keep remapping chunks. This was also the reason why building
Haiku in Haiku was significantly faster with only 256 MB RAM (since
that much could be kept mapped all the time).
Now we're using a different strategy: We have small pools of virtual
page slots per CPU that are used for the physical page operations
(memset_physical(), memcpy_*_physical()) with CPU-pinned thread.
Furthermore we have four slots per translation map, which are used to
map page tables.
These changes speed up the Haiku image build in Haiku significantly. On
my Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz 2 GB machine about 40% to 20 min 40 s (KDEBUG
disabled, block cache debug disabled). Still more than factor 3 slower
than FreeBSD and Linux, though.

* memset() is now available through the commpage.
* CPU modules can provide a model-optimized memset().
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@27952 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
arch_vm_aspace_swap().
* The x86 implementation does now maintain a bit mask per
vm_translation_map_arch_info indicating on which CPUs the address
space is active. This allows flush_tmap() to avoid ICI for user
address spaces when the team isn't currently running on any other CPU.
In this context ICI is relatively expensive, particularly since we map
most pages via vm_map_page() and therefore invoke flush_tmap() pretty
much for every single page.
This optimization speeds up a "hello world" compilation about 20% on
my machine (KDEBUG turned off, freshly booted), but interestingly it
has virtually no effect on the "-j2" haiku build time.

* apm_shutdown() is now called with interrupts turned on.
* Renamed arch_cpu.c to arch_cpu.cpp.
* Minor cleanup.

and size of the double fault stack.
* is_kernel_stack_address() does now also check whether the given
address is on the double fault stack. This fixes stack traces on
double faults, which were broken (i.e. went only to the double fault
iframe) since we started checking whether the addresses are on the
kernel stack at all.

when DUMP_FEATURE_STRING is defined to 1.

* Use vm86 mode to call the VESA BIOS to do the actual mode switching by
providing an ioctl in the vesa driver.
* Fix vm86.h.

* The new function vm86_do_int(struct vm86_state *state, uint8 vec) provides a
facility to call BIOS interupt handlers. The function must only be called from
a user thread context because the lower 1MB of the address space is used.

* In vm86 mode CS will have arbitrary values so we check for both USER_CODE_SEG
and the VM flag in EFLAGS. This is also done when entering interrupt gates.

to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
headers/private/shared/util).

address space that is fully locked and marked B_KERNEL_AREA. It can
thus be accessed by the kernel without additional checks.
* For each userland thread we do create a user_thread structure in that
area. The structure is accessible from userland via TLS, using the
private get_user_thread() function.
* Introduced private userland functions [un]defer_signals(). They can be
used to cheaply disable/re-enable signal delivery. They use the
user_thread::defer_signals/pending_signals fields which are
checked/updated by the kernel.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25451 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Allow userland teams to create areas below 1 MB when requested specifically.
* Note, this is a temporary solution - see the comments in the code.

- Take extended family and model into account when generating the cpu
type and revision.

Please review.

* Implemented automatic syscall restarts:
- A syscall can indicate that it has been interrupted and can be
restarted by setting a respective bit in thread::flags. It can
store parameters it wants to be preserved for the restart in
thread::syscall_restart::parameters. Another thread::flags bit
indicates whether it has been restarted.
- handle_signals() clears the restart flag, if the handled signal
has a handler function installed and SA_RESTART is not set. Another
thread flag (THREAD_FLAGS_DONT_RESTART_SYSCALL) can prevent syscalls
from being restarted, even if they could be (not used yet, but we
might want to use it in resume_thread(), so that we stay
behaviorally compatible with BeOS).
- The architecture specific syscall handler restarts the syscall, if
the restart flag is set. Implemented for x86 only.
- Added some support functions in the private <syscall_restart.h> to
simplify the syscall restart code in the syscalls.
- Adjusted all syscalls that can potentially be restarted accordingly.
- _user_ioctl() sets new thread flag THREAD_FLAGS_IOCTL_SYSCALL while
calling the underlying FS's/driver's hook, so that syscall restarts
can also be supported there.
* thread_at_kernel_exit() invokes handle_signals() in a loop now, as
long as the latter indicates that the thread shall be suspended, so
that after waking up signals received in the meantime will be handled
before the thread returns to userland. Adjusted handle_signals()
accordingly -- when encountering a suspending signal we don't check
for further signals.
* Fixed sigsuspend(): Suspending the thread and rescheduling doesn't
result in the correct behavior. Instead we employ a temporary
condition variable and interruptably wait on it. The POSIX test
suite test passes, now.
* Made the switch_sem[_etc]() behavior on interruption consistent.
Depending on when the signal arrived (before the call or when already
waiting) the first semaphore would or wouldn't be released. Now we
consistently release it.
* Refactored _user_{read,write}[v]() syscalls. Use a common function for
either pair. The iovec version doesn't fail anymore, if anything could
be read/written at all. It also checks whether a complete vector
could be read/written, so that we won't skip data, if the underlying
FS/driver couldn't read/write more ATM.
* Some refactoring in the x86 syscall handler: The int 99 and sysenter
handlers use a common subroutine to avoid code duplication.

23139 into trunk, with roughly the following changes (for details svn
log the branch):
* The int 99 syscall handler is now fully in assembly.
* Added a sysenter/sysexit handler and use it on Pentiums that support
it (via commpage).
* Got rid of i386_handle_trap(). A bit of functionality was moved into
the assembly handler which now uses a jump table to call C functions
handling the respective interrupt.
* Some optimizations to get user debugger support code out of the
interrupt handling path.
* Introduced a thread::flags fields which allows to skip handling of
rare events (signals, user debug enabling/disabling) on the
common interrupt handling path.
* Got rid of the explicit iframe stack. The iframes can still be
retrieved by iterating through the stack frames.
* Made the commpage an architecture independent feature. It's used for
the real time data stuff (instead of creating a separate area).
* The x86 CPU modules can now provide processor optimized versions for
common functions (currently memcpy() only). They are used in the
kernel and are provided to the userland via commpage entries.
* Introduced build system feature allowing easy use of C structure
member offsets in assembly code.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed merge conflict in src/system/kernel/arch/x86/arch_debug.cpp
(caused by refactoring and introduction of "call" debugger command).

* ACPI is evaluated first as it also handles things like multi core or hyper threading setups
* Removed other (disabled) hyper threading code per the notes in the corresponding ToDo
* Limit the detected CPU count to 2 for now as I wasn't able to get it working in either emulation nor real hardware with more than 2 CPUs
* Added a reserved byte to the mp_config_table struct, it worked only by luck as the compiler did padding there to get to the same size
I can now boot my Core 2 Quad with two out of four processors active :-)

to the private VM types are including vm_types.h now.
* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.
* Minor cleanup.

* PowerStatus is now using this API when compiled for Haiku.
* Note, I'm not sure why yet, but running PowerStatus in the background
crashes at least my laptop after some time.

The first use is to let the kernel decide what the preferred syscall mechanism is at boot time and copy the
appropriate user space code there. Can be used for routines the kernel can decide best how to use (memcpy, some
timing routines, etc).

Now two complete tss structures exist within the per-cpu structure. Instead
of having to create a seperate area per each one, initialize them in place.
Also, the old mechanism to getting all of the cpus to get initialized was
subtly broken, but still managed to work. Now, just force all the cpus to
initialize at boot, which makes the actual swapping of esp0 somewhat simpler.

at boot, per cpu, detect the cpu, pull down all the relevant cpuid bits and
save them into the per-cpu structure. Changed most of the code scattered here
and there that reads the cpuid to use a new api, x86_check_feature, which looks
at the saved bits.
Also changed the system_info stuff to read from these bits.
While i was at it, refreshed all the bits to be current.

turned off - accessing userland memory. Now, arch_thread_enter_userspace() does that
job, and as a result, may also fail.
* dump_thread() now directly prints the info of the current thread when used without
argument (rather than iterating the thread list to look for the current thread).
* If arch_thread_init_tls() fails upon thread creation, the function will now return
an error.

We don't do anything with it yet, though, so the BIOS will probably ignore us since
we are supposed to poll for events.

substructure now (that's the only member actually). The system time
offset is therefore accessed via architecture specific accessor
functions.
Note, that this commit breaks the PPC build. Since I want to rename at
least one file I've already changed, I can't avoid that.

this saves 4 bytes per page. To compensate the loss of bytes, the offset is now
stored in page size units, that's enough to address 2^44 or 16 TB (which is now
the maximal supported file size!).
* Renamed vm_page::ppn to physical_page_number.
