takes a list of iovecs describing the physical pages to be mapped. With it one
can map a set of physically disjoint pages into one linear virtual range. This
is a private API right now, but we might want to make it public as
map_physical_memory_vecs alongside map_physical_memory.

are required to be physically contiguos, which should be reworked to put them
into seperate iovecs. Still this manages to combine a great deal of page
writes into larger bursts already. Reduces the amount of IO requests being
scheduled (and greatly benefits media where page wise writes are slow when
they are accessed through a non-IOScheduler path, i.e. USB mass storage until
that is properly implemented).
* Abstracted per page page writing tasks into a PageWriteWrapper class.
* Abstracted per transfer page writing tasks into PageWriteTransfer class which
formerly was the PageWriterCallback.
* Use both classes from the PageWriterRun and from
vm_page_write_modified_page_range to remove code duplication.
* Adjusted synchronous VMAnonymousCache::Write() to cope correctly with larger
iovecs and more than one iovec. It assumed that there was exactly one page per
vector previously.
* Introduced MaxPagesPerWrite() and MaxPagesPerAsyncWrite() to VMCache to allow
a cache to specify restricitions. VMAnonymousCache does restrict the max pages
to 1 for WriteAsync right now as I didn't feel like reworking that one to cope
with non single page writes just yet.
* Pulled out PageWriteTransfer methods for better readability.
* Some typo fixes.

- Fixed vfs_get_vnode_from_fd() return type.
- Added vfs_open_vnode().
- Added a "bool traverseLeafLink" parameter to vfs_get_fs_node_from_path().
It was always resolving symlinks.
* device manager/devfs:
- devfs: get_node_for_path() no longer resolves leaf symlinks. That still
doesn't help with file disk devices, as creating partition wouldn't work
anyway.
- Pulled the module-related implementation part of BaseDevice into new class
AbstractModuleDevice and made all methods of BaseDevice virtual. Small
adjustments to devfs to be happy with the new BaseDevice interface.
- Added BaseDevice subclass FileDevice, which maps the interface to a file's
file descriptor. Still got a few TODOs, but should basically work.
- Use FileDevice for publishing file disk devices in devfs. Now those do
actually work, though there's some BFS trouble with one of the images I
tested.

Remove the 4 cores limit at boot, and fix the allocator to handle 8 cores.
There are still performance problems, but this allows booting with 8 cores.

- Removed passing the hpet_regs around, since there's a static variable.
- Added lots of debug dprintfs.
- Fixed setting the timer interrupt to edge
- Timer is initialized once.
- Use the timer 0 instead of 2.
- Renamed register definitions to be more readable

* scheduler_enqueue_in_runqueue() now allows the scheduler to return a hint as to whether a reschedule is desirable or not. This is used in a few other places in order to relegate scheduling decisions entirely to the scheduler rather than the priority hacks previously used. There are probably other places in the kernel that could now make use of that information to more intelligently call reschedule() though.
* Switch over the default scheduler to scheduler_affine().
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32554 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Keep track of the currently running threads.
* Make use of that info to decide if a thread that becomes ready should preempt
the running thread.
* If we should preempt we send the target CPU a reschedule message.
* This preemption strategy makes keeping track of idle CPUs by means of a bitmap
superflous and it is therefore removed.
* Right now only other CPUs are preempted though, not the current one.
* Add missing initialization of the quantum tracking code.
* Do not extend the quantum of the idle thread based quantum tracking as we want
it to not run longer than necessary. Once the preemption works completely
adding a quantum timer for the idle thread will become unnecessary though.
* Fix thread stealing code, it did missed the last thread in the run queue.
* When stealing, try to steal the highest priority thread that is currently
waiting by taking priorities into account when finding the target run queue.
* Simplify stealing code a bit as well.
* Minor cleanups.

* The vesa driver no longer uses VGA programming if the chip does not support
VGA compatibility.
* The VESA driver now tries to set the DAC to 8 bits per color gun.
* In VESA modes, the driver no longer tries to use VGA programming; introduced
the new vesa_set_indexed_colors() that is now used for palette programming.
This should fix wrong colors of 8 bit BWindowScreen users with VESA on real
hardware (emulators usually didn't mind either way).
* Note that the app_server needs to maintain a palette per 8 bit screen, as
right now, the colors are garbled after a workspace switch. Stefano, are you
looking into that already?

- don't clobber the parameter regs in the entry point,
- fix entry point address for netbsd loader emulation,
- added a gUImage global to point to the uimage blob with the tgz,
- added tgz info to platform stage2 args,
- add simple uimage support, just dumps the header and gets the nth blob in the image, (seems we have a bug in the math code, some infos don't print),
- made devices.cpp use them to publish the MemoryDisk,
- add an haiku_loader_nbsd.ub target which puts both the loader and kernel_arm for now (need to replace with the tgz).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32295 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
- moved board/ folder around again, it probably belongs only to kernel stuff,
- added board_config.h templates for gumstix boards.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32197 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
- added some multiboot support code:
- dump some of the passed info,
- parse command line (skip the 'kernel' name and pass the rest to stage2_args.arguments),
- added an add_stage2_driver_settings() function which takes stage2_args.arguments and translates it into safe mode driver settings, a bit dumb for now.
This allows using qemu -kernel haiku_loader -append 'debug_screen true' and get debug output without having to enter the menu (once multiboot info is used to determine the boot device too).
The idea is to allow passing driver settings and using them to pass extra stuff (like 'force_keymap fr' and other stuff for demo), and to help automate tests ('run_test /bin/sometest').
This should answer Axel's question :)
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32076 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
allow for more parallelism. Also introduce seperate locks for the bins and
for page allocation. This greatly reduces lock contention and reduces the
duration the locks are held due to them overall protecting less code. Now only
allocations of the same size hitting the same allocator or allocating larger
chunks of memory should block. Previously, basically any allocation and also
free would be mutually exclusive, making it scale pretty badely.
* Added memalign_nogrow(). As it uses heap_memalign() anyway, there's no real
reason not to allow for an alignment.
* Some cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32074 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
ROUNDUP to use '*' and '/' -- the compiler will optimize that for powers of
two anyway and this implementation works for other numbers as well.
* The thread::fault_handler use in C[++] code was broken with gcc 4. At least
when other functions were invoked. Trying to trick the compiler wasn't a
particularly good idea anyway, since the next compiler version could break
the trick again. So the general policy is to use the fault handlers only in
assembly code where we have full control. Changed that for x86 (save for the
vm86 mode, which has a similar mechanism), but not for the other
architectures.
* Introduced fault_handler, fault_handler_stack_pointer, and fault_jump_buffer
fields in the cpu_ent structure, which must be used instead of
thread::fault_handler in the kernel debugger. Consequently user_memcpy() must
not be used in the kernel debugger either. Introduced a debug_memcpy()
instead.
* Introduced debug_call_with_fault_handler() function which calls a function
in a setjmp() and fault handler context. The architecture specific backend
arch_debug_call_with_fault_handler() has only been implemented for x86 yet.
* Introduced debug_is_kernel_memory_accessible() for use in the kernel
debugger. It determines whether a range of memory can be accessed in the
way specified. The architecture specific back end
arch_vm_translation_map_is_kernel_page_accessible() has only been implemented
for x86 yet.
* Added arch_debug_unset_current_thread() (only implemented for x86) to unset
the current thread pointer in the kernel debugger. When entering the kernel
debugger we do some basic sanity checks of the currently set thread structure
and unset it, if they fail. This allows certain commands (most importantly
the stack trace command) to avoid accessing the thread structure.
* x86: When handling a double fault, we do now install a special handler for
page faults. This allows us to gracefully catch faulting commands, even if
e.g. the thread structure is toast.
We are now in much better shape to deal with double faults. Hopefully avoiding
the triple faults that some people have been experiencing on their hardware
and ideally even allowing to use the kernel debugger normally.

- stubbed out arch_cpu_init_percpu(),
- make atomic ops declarations extern "C",
- move calls to [i]sync inside the asm code that needs it.

* SMP:
- Added smp_send_broadcast_ici_interrupts_disabled(), which is basically
equivalent to smp_send_broadcast_ici(), but is only called with interrupts
disabled and gets the CPU index, so it doesn't have to use
smp_get_current_cpu() (which dereferences the current thread).
- Added cpu index parameter to smp_intercpu_int_handler().
* x86:
- arch_int.c -> arch_int.cpp
- Set up an IDT per CPU. We were using a single IDT for all CPUs, but that
can't work, since we need different tasks for the double fault interrupt
vector.
- Set the per CPU double fault task gates correctly.
- Renamed set_intr_gate() to set_interrupt_gate and set_system_gate() to
set_trap_gate() and documented them a bit.
- Renamed double_fault_exception() x86_double_fault_exception() and fixed
it not to use smp_get_current_cpu(). Instead we have the new
x86_double_fault_get_cpu() that deducts the CPU index from the used stack.
- Fixed the double_fault interrupt handler: It no longer calls int_bottom to
avoid accessing the current thread.
* debug.cpp:
- Introduced explicit debug_double_fault() to enter the kernel debugger from
a double fault handler.
- Avoid using smp_get_current_cpu().
- Don't use kprintf() before sDebuggerOnCPU is set. Otherwise
acquire_spinlock() is invoked by arch_debug_serial_puts().
Things look a bit better when the current thread pointer is broken -- we run
into kernel_debugger_loop() and successfully print the "Welcome to KDL"
message -- but we still dereference the thread pointer afterwards, so that we
don't get a usable kernel debugger yet.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32050 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added x86_double_fault_get_cpu(), a save way to get the CPU index when in
the double fault handler. smp_get_current_cpu() requires at least a somewhat
intact thread structure, so we rather want to avoid it when handling a double
fault. There are a lot more of those dependencies in the KDL entry code.
Working on it...

* Renamed the new Haiku call fs_open_attr() to fs_fopen_attr(), and added a new
function fs_open_attr() that takes a path (same semantics as the

there are prefixed with the respective architecture name. Useful for remote
debugging a different architecture.
* <x86/arch_debugger.h>: Introduced a structure for the FPU state, so that it
isn't left to the debugger.
* Removed the _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() syscall. Was originally intended for
bdb compatiblity, but isn't really needed.
* Kernel x86 arch_get_debug_cpu_state(): The use of fnsave was broken, since
it reinits the FPU after saving the state. This resulted in weird results
when debugging functions using the FPU. We now use fxsave, if available.
Otherwise fnsave + frstor should be used -- not fully implemented yet.
Same for arch_set_debug_cpu_state().

patch from about a year ago (I couldn't use any code of his yet, though,
but there are a few things left). The emergency keys are triggered by
pressing Alt-SysReq + key.
* By default, only Alt-SysReq+'d' is used as a means to deliberately enter
the kernel debugger. F12 belongs to userland again, now :-)
* Debugger add-ons now have another optional method to implement their own
emergency keys - 'd' for the debugger cannot be overridden, though.
* The mechanism can be turned off via a new kernel setting, so it's not that
easy anymore to "crash" Haiku if you don't want to.
* Right now, the PS/2 driver, and the pre-input_server in-kernel debugger
keyboard mini-driver support this, USB not yet.
* Minor cleanup.

* Added missing name parameter to the partitioning system module child creation
and child creation validation hooks. Pass the name to them.
* Added BPartitionParameterEditor interface, which is/will be used for editing
disk system specific parameters.
* Implemented partition parameter editors for BFS initialization and Intel
partition map child creation.
* Fixed the incorrect supported child partition type iteration in the Intel
partition map add-on. It does now return actual types.
* Handle the "active" flag parameter in the Intel partitioning system module.
* DriveSetup:
- Replaced the "Create" submenu by a simple menu item. The type can now by
chosen in the dialog.
- Make use of initialization and child creation parameter editors. Some
non-generic code has been moved to the respective editor implementations
(BFS, intel partitioning system).

* devfs:
- devfs_[un]publish_partition(): They no longer get the partition path as
parameter, but rather the device path and the partition name.
- Added devfs_rename_partition(), which renames an already published
partition node.
* KPartition/KDiskDevice:
- Replaced the fPublished flag by fPublishedName, the name under which the
partition is published. This simplifies UnpublishDevice() and makes it
practically infallible.
- Added GetFileName(), which only returns the partition's file name.
Simplified GetPath() by using it.
- When a partition is added/removed the subsequent sibling partitions get a
new index. Now we also rename their published device nodes (and those of
their descendents). When something goes wrong we unpublish the concerned
partition's device to be on the safe side. Would be a shame to accidentally
format the wrong partition, eh? :-)

* Generalized address checks. The debugger can now also read the commpage.
* Added new syscall _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() to get the CPU state of a
not running thread. Introduced arch_get_thread_debug_cpu_state() for that
purpose, which is only implemented for x86 ATM (uses the new
i386_get_thread_user_iframe()).
* Don't allow a debugger to change a thread's "esp" anymore. That's the esp
register in the kernel. "user_esp" can still be changed.
* Generally set RF (resume flag) in eflags in interrupt handlers, not only
after a instruction breakpoint debug exception. This should prevent
breakpoints from being triggered more than once (e.g. when the breakpoint is
on an instruction that can cause a page fault). I still saw those with bdb
in VMware, but that might be a VMware bug.

boot device is actually read-only (even if it's using the write overlay).
* Do not create a swap file on a read-only device - this would really be a
stupid use of the write overlay (just saw this happening on an older
machine).
* Made swap_file_{add|delete}() take a const char* path - there was no reason
this was writable, and this also avoids casting away the const when adding
the default swap file.
* Minor cleanup.

- While walking down the cache chain, we keep all upper caches locked.
- When we have to unlock -- when waiting for a busy page or reading a page in
-- we unlock completely, including the address space, and restart
vm_soft_fault().
- Folded fault_get_page() and fault_find_page() into one.
This simplifies and improves things considerably:
- We no longer need dummy pages.
- We no longer need vm_area::no_cache_change.
- #2710 is fixed, since we no longer hold the address space lock while
waiting.
* vm_soft_fault(): When we have found our page, we first check whether a page
is already mapped at the address. If it is already our page, we just change
its protection. If not, we unmap it first. Fixes race conditions when multiple
threads fault at the same address at the same time.
* fault_get_page(): When copying a read-only page from a lower cache, no longer
mark it active, since at least for the fault area it is shadowed from then on.
* vm_set_area_protection(): Fixed potential overflow for in the
vm_translation_map::protect() call.

* 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.

- Moved scheduler listening interface to <listeners.h> and added more
convenient to use templatized notification functions.
- Added a listener mechanism for the wait objects (semaphores, condition
variables, mutex, rw_lock).
* system profiler:
- Hopefully fixed locking issues related to notifying the profiler thread
for good. We still had an inconsistent locking order, since the scheduler
notification callbacks are invoked with the thread lock held and have to
acquire the object lock then, while the other callbacks acquired the object
lock first and as a side effect of ConditionVariable::NotifyOne() acquired
the thread lock. Now we make sure the object lock is the innermost lock.
- Track the number of dropped events due to a full buffer.
_user_system_profiler_next_buffer() returns this count now.
- When scheduling profiling events are requested also listen to wait objects
and generate the respective profiling events. We send those events lazily
and cache the infos to avoid resending an event for the same wait object.
- When starting profiling we do now generate "thread scheduled" events for
the already running threads.
- _user_system_profiler_start(): Check whether the parameters pointer is a
userland address at all.
- The system_profiler_team_added event does now also contain the team's name.
* Added a sem_get_name_unsafe() returning a semaphore's name. It is "unsafe",
since the caller has to ensure that the semaphore exists and continues to
exist as long as the returned name is used.
* Adjusted the "profile" and "scheduling_recorder" according to the system
profiling changes. The latter prints the number of dropped events, now.

will return consistent values. This helps with debug measurements for the time
being. Obviously we'll have to think of something different when we support
speed-stepping on models with frequency-dependent TSCs.

theoretically write the given page.
* page writer: Fixed the incorrect check whether a temporary page can be
written by using the new CanWritePage().

passed in a structure now, so it is easier to extend it and ignore unused
parameters.
* One can now select which system profiling events one is interested in.
* Added scheduling events to the system profiling interface. Those are pretty
much the ones recorded when scheduler tracing is enabled. Still missing are
the "wait object" events that allow to interpret what a thread is waiting
for.

methods that used an "event mask" field. There was no need to introduce
a "flags" field for the same purpose.
* Renamed protected DefaultNotificationService methods (removed "_" prefix).
* Adjusted the code providing a notification service accordingly.
* Changed the event message several notification services generated by renaming
the "opcode" field to "event".
* Implemented the TEAM_ADDED event and also added a TEAM_EXEC event.
* Added notifications for threads and images.
* Added visitor-like iteration functions for teams, threads, and images.

* Renamed DoublyLinkedList::Size() to Count(), since it actually counts the
items (ie. O(n)).

for large areas

(mostly at least). Also disables -Werror for the binutils, but those should
be fixed eventually.
