* There is a little code duplication. This will be moved to BFormat once
the time and datetime formatting is also moved out of BLocale
* The way to create a BDateFormat from a BLocale is still open for
discussion. I'm undecided between making BDateFormat a member of
BLocale, or adding a BDateFormat(const BLocale&) constructor.
* Adjust all users of the API.
A BGeolocation object can query an online service to get geolocation
and geotagging data:
* LocateSelf() tries to locate the machine it is running on, by using an
online database of wifi access points
* Locate() (not yet implemented) searches a BString and converts it to
lat/lon coordinates (reverse geotagging)
* Name() (not yet implemented) finds a suitable name for the given
coordinates (address, building name, or anything fitting).
The default service used is openbmap.org, which is freely available but
not very accurate. A request has been sent to Mozilla to use MLS
(Mozilla Location Services), which is a bit more accurate but needs an
API key. MLS is used for geolocation on FirefoxOS, for mobile phones
which don't have a GPS, and the data can be contributed by Firefox for
Android or the dedicated MozStumbler app.
Alternatively, Google Maps also provide the service, but wants
people to pay for it. Google Maps data is more accurate as all Android
devices contribute data to it.
All 3 services use the same JSON-based API: we send a list of reachable
Wifi APs (mac address and signal strength), and we get lattitude and
longitude information, and possibly extra data which will currently be
unused.
This can be used to implement HTML5 geolocation with reasonably accurate
results, but it can also be used in other places. For example
FirstBootPrompt could try to guess a list of most likely languages and
keyboard layouts from it (if wifi is working at install time, that is).
* Move default context management to BUrlRequest since some code
(including the testsuite) bypass the BUrlProtocolRoster.
* Introduce proxy host and port in BUrlContext
* Have BHttpRequest use the proxy when making requests
Comments to #9672 agree that there's really no need to
expose the dev_t handle, thus simplifying the API.
The dev_t handle, if required, can be retrieved via
BPartition::GetVolume() instead.
This patch adds user_access() which can be used to gracefully handle
page faults that may happen when accessing user memory. It is used
by arch_cpu_user{memcpy, memset, strlcpy}() to allow using optimized
functions from the standard library.
Currently only x64 uses this, but nothing really is arch specific here.

The kernel is allowed to use fpu anywhere so we must make sure that
user state is not clobbered by saving fpu state at interrupt entry.
There is no need to do that in case of system calls since all fpu
data registers are caller saved.
We do not need, though, to save the whole fpu state at task swich
(again, thanks to calling convention). Only status and control
registers are preserved. This patch actually adds xmm0-15 register
to clobber list of task swich code, but the only reason of that is
to make sure that nothing bad happens inside the function that
executes that task swich. Inspection of the generated code shows
that no xmm registers are actually saved.

Enable SSE as a part of the "preparation of the environment to run any
C or C++ code" in the entry points of stage2 bootloader.
SSE2 is going to be used by memset() and memcpy().

There is absolutely no reason for these functions to be in commpage,
they don't do anything that involves the kernel in any way.
Additionaly, this patch rewrites memset and memcpy to C++, current
implementation is quite simple (though it may perform surprisingly
well when dealing with large buffers on cpus with ermsb). Better
versions are coming soon.

The possibility to specify custom memcpy and memset implementations
in cpu modules is currently unused and there is generally no point
in such feature.
There are only 2 x86 vendors that really matter and there isn't
very big difference in performance of the generic optmized versions
of these funcions across different models. Even if we wanted different
versions of memset and memcpy depending on the processor model or
features much better solution would be to use STT_GNU_IFUNC and save
one indirect call.
Long story short, we don't really benefit in any way from
get_optimized_functions and the feature it implements and it only adds
unnecessary complexity to the code.

* Removes default mapping of a portion of the RAM (will be done
as needed)
* Passes on the page directory area to kernel, so on early vm init
the kernel can use the area for pagetable allocation.
* Leaves it to the platform to pass in physical memory range(s). This
will ultimately come from FDT.
* Fix long standing issue with allocation of the heap, potentially
causing other part of the bootloader to overwrite the heap.
* Implements pagetable allocator in kernel for early vm mapping.
This fixes the first PANIC seen, we now just get the same one later
on when the VM is up... more to come...
This reverts commit 3fbb24680c.
As I mentioned in #11131, this fix is not correct, and works around
the problem. The real reason was that arch_debug_call_with_fault_handler
was not working properly, so the fault handler went crazy.
With commit eb92810 that is fixed so this can be reverted.
This reverts commit 34dbbb65fd.
Instead, we can remove thos from HaikuBuildCompatibility and things will work fine, unless one try t build Haiku on BeOS (this isn't
supported anymore) or a very old Haiku which esdon't have those.
Pawel changed the implementation but I see no reason to make those available only from C++, so it must be an oversight.
Fixes building Haiku on Haiku which otherwise hits a mismatch in build compatibility headers.
If GCC knows what these functions are actually doing the resulting
code can be optimized better what is especially noticeable in case of
invocations of atomic_{or,and}() that ignore the result. Obviously,
everything is inlined what also improves performance.

Based on an earlier piece of source code of mine that parsed JSON into
QObjects, this JSON parser creates a BMessage tree.
Will be used by Stephan in HaikuDepot for communication with the web app.
* From now on, the gcc-specific system libraries (libgcc, libsupc++ and
libstdc++) are provided by separate packages built along with gcc:
- gcc_syslibs contains the shared libraries (libgcc_s.so, libsupc++.so and
libstdc++.so)
- gcc_syslibs_devel contains the static libraries and both c++ and gcc
headers
The shared libraries now make proper use of symbol versioning and there
are version-specific symlinks
* The buildsystem has been adjusted to no longer use the libraries and
headers from the cross-compiler, but use the ones provided by the
above-mentioned packages. The only exception is that the 32-bit libraries
required for the bootloader of the x86_64 architecture are still taken
from the cross-compiler.
* The new libstdc++.so contains program headers of type PT_RELRO (for
making segments read-only after relocation). While the actual feature
has not been implemented, the runtime_loader should now silently
accept (and ignore) those program headers.

- This allows a BMediaDecoder (e.g. FFMPEG Plugin) to communicate back format
changes to its clients.

- Backwards compatibility is taken into account and preserved by reducing the
relevant _reserved[] fields.
- Code changes that will actually make use of these extensions are due for the
following commits. As these structure extensions affect several Haiku
components (e.g. media_server, MediaPlayer, etc.) and third party apps (e.g.
StampTV, etc.) I refrain from committing them in one batch with this commit.
This should make it easier to track down bugs originating in this code
change.

* This is a header used by several parts of the code which should not
need to know about ELF symbol overriding and the fact that it is
optional.
* When the define is set, the methods will not be defined, but they
shouldn't be called, either
* This makes sure the memory layout of the class stays the same with the
define set or unset, and users can rely on it.
Fixes UnitTester on gcc2.
* Remove unneeded field fOutputHeaders and convert it to a local for the
only method that uses it,
* Don't return EOVERFLOW when flushing data from ZLib (the ZLib
decompressor returns this, but zlib docs states that this is NOT an
error condition).
* Replace unneeded temporary BNetBuffer of fixed size with BStackOrHeapArray.
