950b24e32d Begun work on VMTranslationMap implementation for x86_64.
* Added empty source files for all the 64-bit paging method code, and a
  stub implementation of X86PagingMethod64Bit.
* arch_vm_translation_map.cpp has been modified to use X86PagingMethod64Bit
  on x86_64.

4304bb9894 Added arch_cpu.cpp to the x86_64 build.
* Some things are currently ifndef'd out completely for x86_64 because
  they aren't implemented, there's a few other ifdef's to handle x86_64
  differences but most of the code works unchanged.
* Renamed some i386_* functions to x86_*.
* Added a temporary method for setting the current thread on x86_64
  (a global variable, not SMP safe). This will be changed to be done
  via the GS segment but I've not implemented that yet.

020a25ce46 Fixed x86_64 kernel compilation.
For now I've just put all the stub functions that are needed to link the
kernel into a file called stubs.cpp. I've not yet moved across the interrupt
handling code or the ELF64 relocation code to the x86 directory. Once those
have been moved I can get rid of the x86_64 headers/source directories.

0897e314b7 Merged x86_64 headers into x86 headers.
Not many changes seeing as there's not much x86_64 stuff done yet. Small
differences are handled with ifdefs, large differences (descriptors.h,
struct iframe) have separate headers under arch/x86/32 and arch/x86/64.

e5fc2bfcab Implemented long mode setup/switch code, the bootloader can now start the 64-bit kernel!
The setup procedure is fairly simple: create a 64-bit GDT and 64-bit page
tables that include all kernel mappings from the 32-bit address space, but at
the correct 64-bit address, then go through kernel_args and changes all virtual
addresses to 64-bit addresses, and finally switch to long mode and jump to the
kernel.

6f6d78e877 Cleaned up ELF64 address handling.
* platform_allocate_elf_region() is removed, it is implemented in platform-
  independent code now (ELF*Class::AllocateRegion). For ELF64 it is now
  assumed that 64-bit addresses are mapped in the loader's 32-bit address space
  as (address - KERNEL_BASE_64BIT + KERNEL_BASE).
* mapped_delta field from preloaded_*_image removed, now handled compile-time
  using the ELF*Class::Map method.
* Also link the kernel with -z max-page-size=0x1000, removes the need for
  2MB alignment on the data segment (not going to map the kernel with large
  pages for the time being).

d8efc6caf6 Changes to kernel_args to make it identical for x86 and x86_64.
* Added a FixedWidthPointer template class which uses 64-bit storage to hold
  a pointer. This is used in place of raw pointers in kernel_args.
* Added __attribute__((packed)) to kernel_args and all structures contained
  within it. This is necessary due to different alignment behaviour for
  32-bit and 64-bit compilation with GCC.
* With these changes, kernel_args will now come out the same size for both
  the x86_64 kernel and the loader, excluding the preloaded_image structure
  which has not yet been changed.
* Tested both an x86 GCC2 and GCC4 build, no problems caused by these changes.

65ad1ba320 Made it possible to build the bootloader when targetting x86_64.
* x86_64 is using the existing *_ia32 boot platforms.
* Special flags are required when compiling the loader to get GCC to compile
  32-bit code. This adds a new set of rules for compiling boot code rather
  than using the kernel rules, which compile using the necessary flags.
* Some x86_64 private headers have been stubbed by #include'ing the x86
  versions. These will be replaced later.

cc586f1655 x86: AMD C1E with no ARAT(Always Running APIC Timer) idle support
AMD C1E is a BIOS controlled C3 state. Certain processors families
may cut off TSC and the lapic timer when it is in a deep C state,
including C1E state, thus the cpu can't be waken up and system will hang.

This patch firstly adds the support of idle selection during boot. Then
it implements amdc1e_noarat_idle() routine which checks the MSR which
contains the C1eOnCmpHalt (bit 28) and SmiOnCmpHalt (bit 27)  before
executing the halt instruction, then clear them once set.

However intel C1E doesn't has such problem. AMD C1E is a BIOS controlled
C3 state. The difference between C1E and C3 is that transition into C1E
is not initiated by the operating system. System will enter C1E state
automatically when both cores enters C1 state. As for intel C1E, it
means "reduce CPU voltage before entering corresponding Cx-state".

This patch may fix #8111, #3999, #7562, #7940 and #8060

Copied from the description of #3999:
>but for some reason I hit the power button instead of the reset one. And
>the boot continued!!
The reason is CPUs are waken up once power button is hit.

8dd1e875c1 kernel: Fix FPU SSE + MMX instruction usage.
* Rename init_sse to init_fpu and handle FPU setup.
* Stop trying to set up FPU before VM init.
  We tried to set up the FPU before VM init, then
  set it up again after VM init with SSE extensions,
  this caused SSE and MMX applications to crash.
* Be more logical in FPU setup by detecting CPU flag prior
  to enabling FPU. (it's unlikely Haiku will run on
  a processor without a fpu... but lets be consistant)
* SSE2 gcc code now runs (faster even) without GPF
* tqh confirms his previously crashing mmx code now works
* The non-SSE FPU enable after VM init needs tested!

79f0056002 Fix virtual 8086 mode to properly account for TLS.
* The vm86 code or the code running in virtual 8086 mode may clobber the
  %fs register that we use for the CPU dependent thread local storage
  (TLS). Previously the vm86 code would simply restore %fs on exit, but
  this doesn't always work. If the thread got unscheduled while running
  in virtual 8086 mode and was then rescheduled on a different CPU, the
  vm86 exit code would restore the %fs register with the TLS value of
  the old CPU, causing anything using TLS in userland to crash later on.
  Instead we skip the %fs register restore on exit (as do the other
  interrupt return functions) and explicitly update the potentially
  clobbered %fs by calling x86_set_tls_context(). This will repopulate
  the %fs register with the TLS value for the right CPU. Fixes #8068.

* Made the static set_tls_context() into x86_set_tls_context() and made
  it available to others to faciliate the above.

* Sync the vm86 specific interrupt code with the changes from hrev23370,
  using the iframe pop macro to properly return. Previously what was
  pushed in int_bottom wasn't poped on return.

* Account for the time update macro resetting the in_kernel flag and
  reset it to 1, as we aren't actually returning to userland. This
  didn't cause any harm though as only the time tracking is using that
  flag so far.

* Some minor cleanup.

  that the XSDT exports different pointer widths for its links to other tables
  than the RSDT.

24df65921b Merged signals-merge branch into trunk with the following changes:
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
  handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes #5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
  support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
  of the real-time signal range. Closes #1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes #6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
  [set]itimer(). Closes #5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes #5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes #7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

fb5a1727f4 * Implement interrupt source overrides. We install a relay interrupt handler
at the override entry to trigger the overriden vector so that we don't need
  to configure any additional redirections.
* Also configures the polarity and trigger modes found in the override entry.
* When disabling the legacy PIC, retrieve the enabled interrupts and re-enable
  then in the IO-APIC. This will for example make the ACPI SCI work that is
  installed prior to switching interrupt models. Through the transparent support
  for interrupt source overrides it'll also automatically relay from the old to
  the new vector.

This should make ACPI interrupts work and should support relocating the ISA PIT
from irq 0 to a different global system interrupt (usually 2) so that it can
still work when IO-APICs are in use.

8908aef9c2 * Don't map the IO-APIC within the bootloader. We don't need it to set up SMP
at all and, since there can be multiple IO-APICs, we need to do the
  enumeration again in the kernel anyway. Also only set ioapic_phys the first
  time we encounter an IO-APIC object as it looks cleaner when we arrive at the
  first IO-APIC default address.
* Therefore we don't have to worry about already mapped IO-APICs when
  enumerating them in the kernel.
* Also remove the mapping function that is now not used anymore.
* We still use the ioapic_phys field of the kernel args to determine whether
  there is an IO-APIC at all to avoid needlessly doing the enumeration again.

This fixes multi IO-APIC configurations, because before we would indeed map
the last IO-APIC listed in the MADT, but then in the kernel assumed we mapped
the first one. We'd end up with mapping the last listed IO-APIC twice and the
first IO-APIC never, always programming the last one when we actually targetted
the first one.

a56cbb2afb * When initializing MSI support, don't assume a single 24 entry IO-APIC. Instead
mark the ISA interrupts as unusable and then use ioapic_is_interrupt_available
  to determine if that vector is possibly taken by an IO-APIC. If IO-APICs are
  not used, this will simply always return false, leaving all vectors free for
  MSI use.
* The msi_init() now has to be done after a potential IO-APIC init, so it is now
  done after ioapic_init() instead of inside apic_init().
* Add apic_disable_local_ints() to clear the local ints on the local APIC once
  we are in APIC mode (i.e. the IO-APIC is set up and we don't need the external
  routing anymore).

9623c48284 SMP: remove the tracking of apic id -> cpu id. Don't pass between bootloader and kernel.
Kernel doesn't use it, and it could be regenerated in the kernel if it did need it.

This also unlocks the apic range the bios can use. Previously the apic ids would have
to fit within 0..MAX_CPUS or it'd reject the cpu. Some boxes (mine in particular)
seem to sparsely populate the apic id so that the range is pretty large.

feddedab0c x86:
Added fields for temporary storage of the debug registers dr6 and dr7 to the
arch_cpu_info structure. The actual registers are stored at the beginning of
x86_exit_user_debug_at_kernel_entry() and read in
x86_handle_debug_exception().
The problem was that x86_exit_user_debug_at_kernel_entry() itself overwrote
dr7 and, if kernel breakpoints were enabled, dr6 could be overwritten anytime
after. So x86_handle_debug_exception() would find incorrect values in the
registers (definitely in dr7) and thus interpret the detected debug condition
incorrectly. Usually watchpoints were recognized as breakpoints.

cfefeee3f8 * Changed arch_debug_save_registers() to take an arch-specific structure
arch_debug_registers instead.
* Call arch_debug_save_registers() on all CPUs when entering the kernel
  debugger.
* Added debug_get_debug_registers() to return a specified CPU's saved
  registers.
* x86:
  - Replaced the previous arch_debug_save_registers() implementation. Disabled
    getting the registers via the gdb interface for the time being.
  - Fixed the "sc", "call", and "calling" commands to also work for threads
    running on another CPU.

d40a935560 Boot loader (x86 mmu.cpp):
* Made the page table allocation more flexible. Got rid of sMaxVirtualAddress
  and added new virtual_end address to the architecture specific kernel args.
* Increased the virtual space we reserve for the kernel to 16 MB. That
  should suffice for quite a while. The previous 2 MB were too tight when
  building the kernel with debug info.
* mmu_init(): The way we were translating the BIOS' extended memory map to
  our physical ranges arrays was broken. Small gaps between usable memory
  ranges would be ignored and instead marked allocated. This worked fine for
  the boot loader and during the early kernel initialization, but after the
  VM has been fully set up it frees all physical ranges that have not been
  claimed otherwise. So those ranges could be entered into the free pages
  list and would be used later. This could possibly cause all kinds of weird
  problems, probably including ACPI issues. Now we add only the actually
  usable ranges to our list.

Kernel:
* vm_page_init(): The pages of the ranges between the usable physical memory
  ranges are now marked PAGE_STATE_UNUSED, the allocated ranges
  PAGE_STATE_WIRED.
* unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't free pages marked as unused.

dac21d8bfe * map_physical_memory() does now always set a memory type. If none is given (it
needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
  that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
  type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
  - Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
    into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
  - Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
    simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
  - Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
    RAM ranges.
  - If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
    Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
    #5383.

Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.
