* Implemented a way to do asynchronous pre-fetching when mapping files.
* There are slight code duplications in some places that could benefit
from cleaning up, but nothing too bad.
* Implementing smarter ways to trigger prefetching and more analysis of
the situations in the kernel would be nice. Currently up to 10 MB
of every mapped file are pre-fetched without further analysis.
* The speed improvement is nice for certain operations. On our test
system (real hardware), Firefox took 9 seconds from being launched
to display a window. Now it takes 5 seconds. Both measurements
right after booting. The same system took 35 seconds from launching
Haiku in the GRUB menu to displaying the Tracker desktop background
image. Now it takes 27 seconds.
* We didn't have the chance to check out the effects of this on the
CD boot, but potentially, they could speed it up a lot.

pointed out, there is also an unsolvable race condition with BFS that other
file systems should share.

do it without another lock.
* Cleanup.

* Made the TimeZoneView less error prone, and also actually use Haiku code (the
previous check didn't work since it used #if, not #ifdef).
* Also took the liberty to rename our boot loader to haiku_loader, since I had
to update the nasm binary anyway. Updated the assembly sources to nasm 2.0.
* I haven't found where the synth location in the MIDI code is specified,
though.
* Also, NetBootArchive, and FloppyBootImage haven't been updated yet. Will do
so next.
* Some optional packages still put their license to beos/etc/licenses. I didn't
update them yet, as we'll probably do so anyway at some point. Also, I think
we might want to introduce a common/data/licenses instead for those.
* If you encounter any problems, please tell!

it might not be easy to get by. Several file systems (e.g. rootfs and fat)
were ignoring the parameter anyway.

* The I/O context related vfs_*() functions have io_context* instead of void*
parameters/return values, now.
* vfs_new_io_context(): Lock the parent I/O context before getting its table
size. Otherwise the table size could change until we do.
* vfs_resize_fd_table(): Fixed use of MutexLocker. We created only a temporary
object, not one with function scope.
* Renamed load_image_etc() to load_image_internal() and added a parameter for
specifying the parent team of the one to create.
* Introduced a kernel private load_image_etc() with a few more arguments than
load_image().

many unclear bytes remained instead of how many were cleared. This caused
sparse files to show garbage instead of empty space. This fixes bug #2889.
* common_file_io_vec_pages() set "size" (size_t) from file_io_vecs::length
which is off_t without taking into account that important information could
be lost.

is intended to work. Adjusted the overlay fs accordingly and updated/reverted
the changes to the other filesystems.

requires all the sub/super volumes to be available.

additional layer by supplying "-t <actualFileSystem>:overlay" to a mount command.

* Remove the previous method of applying the overlay by flags. In the future the
overlay can just be mounted as a filesystem layer. This is probably how layers
were intended to work in the first place.
* Move the filesystem module info and filesystem name from the fs_mount to the
fs_volume structure. Filesystem layering is done by having multiple layered
volumes and we want to be able to have a different fs per layer.
* Adapt VFS code to this move.
* Implement mounting layered filesystems. Specifying multiple filesystems
separated by a colon on mount will cause the layers to be set up and the
corresponding filesystems to be mounted at that layer.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29199 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
node. That is needed for a layered filesystem to be able to construct a full
fs_vnode out of a volume/inode pair.
* Adapt places where get_vnode is used. Sadly this is a C API and we can't just
use a default NULL for that argument.
* Introduce a flag B_VNODE_WANTS_OVERLAY_SUB_NODE that can be returned in the
flags field of a fs get_vnode call. A filesystem can use this flag to indicate
that it doesn't support the full set of fs features (attributes, write support)
and it'd like to have unsupported calls emulated by an overlay sub node.
* Add a perliminary overlay filesystem that emulates file attributes using files
on a filesystem where attributes aren't supported. It does currently only
support reading attributes/attribute directories though. All other calls are
just passed through to the super filesystem.
* Adjust places where a HAS_FS_CALL() is taken as a guarantee that the operation
is supported. For the overlay filesystem we may later return a B_UNSUPPORTED,
so make sure that in that case proper fallback options are taken.
* Make the iso9660 filesystem request overlay sub nodes. This can be fine tuned
later to only trigger where there are features on a CD that need emulation
at all.
If you happened to know the attribute file format and location you could build
an iso with read-only attribute support now. Note that this won't be enough to
get a bootable iso-only image as the query and index support is yet missing.

* Replaced the use of offsetof() for structs that aren't PODs. Add a
offset_of_member() macro to util/khash.h because that's what it's used for
in our cases.
* Change the signature of add_debugger_command()/remove_debugger_command() on
GCC > 2 to avoid the depricated conversion from string constants to char *.
* Adding some "suggested" parenthesis. I know that not everyone likes that, but
it pointed out at least one bug that is fixed here as well.

to grab a reference to the mount's root vnode.

* UpdateUserListener() did not delete the copiedListener in case adding the
monitor listener failed.
* RemoveListener() did never delete UserNodeListeners, IOW user node monitors
were never freed!

will now accepted and regarded as sparse file data. FileMap::_Add() also
correctly joins multiple vecs with that offset together, FileMap::Translate()
will always report offset -1 even for offsets into that extent.
* read_file_io_vec_pages() (or rather, its backend common_file_io_vec_pages())
now supports sparse files, and will just clear the memory it should read from
offset -1 instead of passing a request to the vnode.
* ext2 now correctly reports sparse files. This should close bug #2889, as well
as #975.

stat::st_{dev,ino}.
* stat::st_rdev is unused, but at least initialize it with some
deterministing value. This makes Perl's lib/File/stat.t test happy.

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.

delete. Therefore the constructor/destructor of the contained EntryCache is also
called. The manual call of the destructor to the OpenHashTable inside the
EntryCache was therefore superflous and the destructor would be called twice,
leading to bug #2869.

DoublyLinkedListLinkImpl, and fs_mount now uses a DoublyLinkedList instead
of a typeless struct list.
* Also added a constructor/destructor to fs_mount which simplifies and cleans
some code.
* This should not contain any functional changes :-)

* This has the advantage that we no longer need to call get_vnode(), and
instead can use lookup_vnode().
* This means at least most of the "corrupted BFS inode" messages should be
gone; they were produced when fs_sync() tried to get already deleted vnodes.
This was actually harmless, but doesn't really help in trusting your system :-)
* Also, it no longer tries to write back removed vnodes.
* And finally, it now uses a marker vnode when iterating over the list, so
that it doesn't need to break out of the loop anymore, and can always sync
all willing vnodes.

interrupted, another thread closing the other end of the pipe could
invoke thread_unblock() while the first thread already entered
mutex_lock(). This would make the first thread think it successfully
locked the mutex, without removing its (on-stack) wait entry from the
mutex queue, thus leading to crashes.
