02a3b9ef49 * kernel_daemon is now a C++ file, and uses DoublyLinkedList instead of
the C list mechanism which also makes the code nicer.

3dfe682f55 * Added some padding to the sem_t structure.
* Changed the semantics of unnamed semaphores. Before parent and child
  of a fork() would always share an earlier created semaphore. Now we do
  that only, if the "shared" parameter of sem_init() was true. That's
  still not quite the behavior Linux and Solaris have, but should be
  perfectly fine with how reasonable code would use the API.
* There's a global table for shared unnamed semaphores now. ATM a
  semaphore is leaked when no one explicitly destroys it (just as with
  named sems).
* Enforce per-team and global semaphore number limits.

01b1098795 * Fixed some misunderstanding regarding the _POSIX_* macros. They are
not supposed to be passed to pathconf() or sysconf().
* Added POSIX semaphore related macros.

7cbf8fdd5a First part of the vm86 work by Jan Klötzke:
* Allow userland teams to create areas below 1 MB when requested specifically.
* Note, this is a temporary solution - see the comments in the code.

0c615a01ae * Removed old mutex implementation and renamed cutex to mutex.
* Trivial adjustments of code using mutexes. Mostly removing the
  mutex_init() return value check.
* Added mutex_lock_threads_locked(), which is called with the threads
  spinlock being held. The spinlock is released while waiting, of
  course. This function is useful in cases where the existence of the
  mutex object is ensured by holding the threads spinlock.
* Changed the two instances in the VFS code where an IO context of
  another team needs to be locked to use mutex_lock_threads_locked().
  Before it required a semaphore-based mutex implementation.

ee96aa8f6e * Replaced cutex::release_count by flags field. It is only one thread
that can unlock the mutex, so one bit is sufficient.
* Added cutex_init_etc() which has an additional "flags" parameter.
  The only specifyable flag is CUTEX_FLAG_CLONE_NAME, which causes the
  function to strdup() the given name and free() its copy in
  cutex_destroy().
* cutex_destroy() does now unblock waiting threads.

8562499f44 * Introduced a new locking primitive I called "cutex" (sorry for the
name, couldn't resist :-P). It's semantically equivalent to a mutex,
  but doesn't need a semaphore (it uses thread blocking and a simple
  queue instead). Initialization can't fail. In fact it is ready to use
  without initialization when living in the bss segment, also in the
  early boot process. It's as fast as a benaphore in cases of low lock
  contention, and faster otherwise.  Only disadvantage is the higher
  immediate memory footprint of 16 bytes.
* Changed how the "thread" and "threads" debugger commands list the
  objects they are waiting for. Cutexes are also included.

514fb1360b * Removed select_sync::lock. The only thread that was still locking was
the selecting thread, which has obviously no effect.
* Changed select_info::events to vint32. It is now updated atomically.
  This removes a race condition when concurrent threads would notify at
  the same time.

801591dbde * Added an atomic_pointer_set() template function to util/atomic.h.
* Made the pointers const.
* Changed how the ARP module maintains its arp_entry::request_buffer: it
  now uses the atomic_pointer*() functions to make sure there is no race
  condition, and it's deleted only once.
* Getting an ARP entry would return uninitialized data, if the entry hadn't
  been resolved yet.

b1d749f8f1 * Added an atomic.h header that provides a C++ file with a templatized
64-bit safe version of atomic_test_and_set() for pointers:
  atomic_pointer_test_and_set().
* The VFS is now using this function (it's not used anywhere else in the
  kernel this way).

  whether the check is supposed to already exist/not exist yet. This
  allows for, as it turns out, very useful additional tests. Added
  {ADD,UPDATE}_PARANOIA_CHECK macros that imply the used "mode"
  parameter.

* Added TraceOutput::PrintStackTrace() to print a stack trace thus
  created.
* Added TraceEntry::DumpStackTrace() callback which is supposed to print
  a stack trace for the entry, if it can do that.
* Added "--stacktrace" switch to the "traced" command, which causes the
  stack traces for all entries that have one to be printed as well.

b95f6d4710 * Introduced a set of functions (thread_prepare_to_block(),
thread_block(), thread_unblock(),...) that allow a thread to wait for
  something without needing a semaphore or condition variable. It can
  simply block and another thread can unblock it. Supports timeouts and
  interrupting. Both semaphores and condition variables use this
  common mechanism, now.
* Semaphores:
  - Some simplifications due to the thread blocking mechanism.
  - Changed locking order to sem -> thread. It was the other way around
    before and when introducing the wait_for_objects() support I had
    also introduced a situation where the locking was reverse, which
    could potentially cause a dead lock on SMP systems.
  - Instead of queueing thread structures, a semaphore queues
    queued_thread entries now, which are created on the stack. The
    thread::sem structure could thus be removed.
  - Added sem_entry::net_count, which is sem_entry::count plus the
    acquisition count of all waiting threads. This number is needed in
    remove_thread_from_sem() and instead of computing it there we
    maintain it.
  - Fixed remove_thread_from_sem(). It would not unblock threads, if
    the sem count was <= 0.
  - Made sem::last_acquirer unconditional. It is actually needed for
    sem_info::latest_holder. Fixed fill_sem_info() accordingly.
  - Added some optional tracing output, though only via ktrace_printf().
* Condition variables:
  - Could be simplified significantly through the use of the thread
    blocking mechanism. Removed a good deal of unnecessary code.
  - Moved the ConditionVariableEntry "flags" parameter from Wait() to
    Add(), and adjusted all places where condition variables are used
    accordingly.
* snooze() uses thread_block_with_timeout() instead of a semaphore.
* Simplified thread interrupting in the signal and user debugger code.
  Instead of separate functions for threads waiting on a semaphore or
  condititon variable, we only have a single thread_interrupt(), now.

e01cebeb0a * cancel_timer():
- If the hook of the timer we're cancelling is currently being
    executed, we do now wait till it is finished. This is how the BeBook
    specifies the function to behave.
  - Periodic timers would not be cancelled, if their hook was being
    invoked at the same time, since they weren't in the queue during
    that time.
  - Since we know the CPU on which the timer is scheduled (timer::cpu),
    we don't have to look through any other CPU queue to find it.
  - Fixed the return value. It should report whether the timer had
    already fired, and was not always doing that.
* Added private add_timer() flag B_TIMER_ACQUIRE_THREAD_LOCK. It causes
  the thread spinlock to be acquired before the event hook is called.
  cancel_timer() doesn't wait for timers with the flag set. Instead we
  check in the timer interrupt function after acquiring the thread
  spinlock whether the timer was cancelled in the meantime. Calling
  cancel_timer() with the thread spinlock being held does thus avoid any
  race conditions and won't deadlock, if the event hook needs to acquire
  the thread spinlock, too. This feature proves handy for some kernel
  internal needs.
* The scheduler uses a B_TIMER_ACQUIRE_THREAD_LOCK timer now and
  cancel_timer() instead of the no longer needed
  _local_timer_cancel_event().

66aac81e98 We use only a single condition variable (instead of thread different

condition (child dead, stopped, continued) occurs. These events are

3cf7ecd1e4 * Added <sys/mman.h> header. It declares only mmap() and munmap() yet
and defines the macros needed by them.
* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
  path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
  adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
  and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
  B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
  deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
  created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
  fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
  is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
  anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
  that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
  rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
  MAP_ANONYMOUS.

43d5590ce1 Yep, first clear THREAD_FLAGS_SYSCALL, then check whether it is set.
That would explain why syscall restarts were broken. In fact there's no
reason to check the flag at all, since we know we set it.

3118b3a7cb * Added fd_ops::set_flags() hook. It's only implemented by socket FDs
ATM.
* Changed common_fcntl() to also work for non-vnode-based FDs. Only the
  operations that require a vnode do fail now. F_SETFL uses the new
  fd_ops::set_flags() if available, falling back to the vnode respective
  operation.
* Changed some direct accesses to file_descriptor::u::vnode. It was safe
  in those cases, but might not be anymore if we ever change fd_vnode().

ftp can at least connect to servers again, now, but apparently we still
have a problem with syscall restarts -- downloads fail after one second,
when the timer goes off.

75015ff525 * Renamed THREAD_FLAGS_IOCTL_SYSCALL to THREAD_FLAGS_SYSCALL,
syscall_restart_ioctl_is_restarted() to syscall_restart_is_restarted,
  IoctlSyscallFlagUnsetter to SyscallFlagUnsetter, and
  IoctlSyscallRestartWrapper to SyscallRestartWrapper, as they are no
  longer only used for ioctl().
* Removed unused syscall_restart_ioctl_handle_post().
* Made SyscallRestartWrapper a lot fancier. Instead of storing a
  reference to the result value, it stores the value itself, and it
  features all the interesting operators that make it appear like that
  value. This simplifies the use of the class quite a bit.
* THREAD_FLAGS_SYSCALL is now set for all socket function and the
  read[v](), write[v]() syscalls.
* Added is_syscall() function and net_stack hook to the net stack.
* Removed "kernel" parameter from all net_stack_interface and net_socket
  module hooks. They aren't need any longer, since is_syscall() can be

df50f7a9b4 * Changed the way the socket functions work:
- The net_stack driver is no longer used. Instead we have a kernel
    module which is directly used by syscall implementations in the
    kernel. I.e. we no longer tunnel those functions through ioctls, but
    have normal syscalls.
  - Removed the superfluous net starter module.
  - Implemented the FDTYPE_SOCKET type file_descriptors, that is sockets
    are no longer vnode based.
  - Adjusted libnetwork (the socket function implementations)
    accordingly.
  - Adjusted netstat accordingly.
* Socket module:
  - Implemented socketpair().
  - Added "kernel" parameter to the control hook. Quite a few more hooks
    would actually need the parameter, but I didn't change those yet,
    since that would probably also require changes to the protocol
    module interface.

89df64c56e Added two helper classes for dealing with restarts of ioctl() like
syscalls.

636bff2fd2 Patch by Philippe Saint-Pierre:
* Revised the RLE algorithm used for compressing the boot splash artwork to
  handle uncompressed runs.
* Compress the RGB channels separately for improved efficiency.

fc38019945 Rename vfs_stat_entry_ref() to vfs_stat_node_ref() as that's what a dev_t and
ino_t combination really is.

6e36a49e62 * Added _kern_create_pipe() syscall, creating a pipe as an entryless
FIFO. Reimplemented pipe() to use it.
* pipefs is no longer mounted. Will remove the superfluous code soon.

7ffafac8d7 * Reorganized the FS interface a little:
- Moved most file_system_module_info hooks into separate structures.
    Those that operate on mounted volumes to fs_volume_ops, those
    operating on a vnode to fs_vnode_ops.
  - Got rid of the fs_volume, fs_cookie, fs_vnode typedefs. We use void*
    again.
  - Instead of a void* volume and node cookie hooks are passed a
    fs_volume and fs_vnode structure pointer, which contain the cookie
    and an ops pointer (fs_volume a few more things).
  - The VFS {new,publish,get,...}_vnode() functions take a fs_volume*
    instead of the volume ID. So does vfs_get_fs_node_from_path().
  - Added type and flags arguments to publish_vnode() and the
    get_vnode() hook and removed the type argument from lookup() hook.
    Added vnode::type using formerly unused bits to store the node type.
    Simplified a few things in the VFS due to the now always available
    node type.
  - Added fs_volume_ops::{create,delete}_sub_vnode() and
    fs_vnode_ops::get_super_vnode() hooks. They are used to support file
    system layers, e.g. allowing to extend an FS not supporting BeOS
    attribute with attribute support. Needs some more work in the VFS.
  - Added fs_vnode_ops::create_special_node() hook for creating special
    nodes (e.g. FIFOs).
* Adjusted the built-in file systems and BFS according to the interface
  changes. Removed all other FSs from the image for the time being.
  We'll see whether further API changes are necessary before porting
  them.
* Adjusted the bfs_shell accordingly.
* Implemented create_special_node() in rootfs to support special nodes.
* Added support for FIFOs:
  - Added syscall _kern_create_fifo() (used by mkfifo()), which creates
    a special node (type S_IFIFO) in the respective file system.
  - When a special node is published the VFS creates a respective sub
    node. Currently only FIFOs are supported.
  - Added a little support for FIFO subnodes by using functionality from
    the pipefs.
  - Added mkfifo to the image. It can create FIFOs in the rootfs, but
    the FIFOs aren't really usable ATM, since they still work like
    pipes, i.e. readers and writers need to have them open at the same
    time.
* Some smaller changes in the VFS:
  - Made the *_CALL macros nicer to use (vargs).
  - Refactored FS entry lookup into new function lookup_dir_entry().
  - create_vnode() no longer just calls the FS create() hook. First it
    looks up the entry and uses open_vnode(), if it already exists. This
    is necessary for two reasons: 1) The FS might not support create()
    while still allowing to open() entries. 2) When the FS has other
    layers on to of it (or the respective node) it might not be
    responsible for opening the node.
