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.

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.

system_time_nsecs(), returning the system time in nanoseconds. The function
is only really implemented for x86. For the other architectures
system_time() * 1000 is returned.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@34543 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
all MTRRs at once.
* Added a respective x86_set_mtrrs() kernel function.
* x86 CPU module:
- Implemented the new hook.
- Prefixed most debug output with the CPU index. Otherwise it gets quite
confusing with multiple CPUs.
- generic_init_mtrrs(): No longer clear all MTRRs, if they are already
enabled. This lets us benefit from the BIOS's setup until we install our
own -- otherwise with caching disabled things are *really* slow.
* arch_vm.cpp: Completely rewrote the MTRR handling as the old one was not
only slow (O(2^n)), but also broken (resulting in incorrect setups (e.g.
with cachable ranges larger than requested)), and not working by design for
certain cases (subtractive setups intersecting ranges added later).
Now we maintain an array with the successfully set ranges. When a new range
is added, we recompute the complete MTRR setup as we need to. The new
algorithm analyzing the ranges has linear complexity and also handles range
base addresses with an alignment not matching the range size (e.g. a range
at address 0x1000 with size 0x2000) and joining of adjacent/overlapping
ranges of the same type.
This fixes the slow graphics on my 4 GB machine (though unfortunately the
8 MTRRs aren't enough to fully cover the complete frame buffer (about 35
pixel lines remain uncachable), but that can't be helped without rounding up
the frame buffer size, for which we don't have enough information). It might
also fix#1823.

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.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32073 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* 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...

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.

This is not necessary, since userland teams' page directories also
contain the kernel mappings, and avoids unnecessary TLB flushes. To make
that possible the vm_translation_map_arch_info objects are reference
counted now.
This optimization reduces the kernel time of the Haiku build on my
machine with SMP disabled a few percent, but interestingly the total
time decreases only marginally. Haven't tested with SMP yet, but for
full impact CPU affinity would be needed.

and size of the double fault stack.
* is_kernel_stack_address() does now also check whether the given
address is on the double fault stack. This fixes stack traces on
double faults, which were broken (i.e. went only to the double fault
iframe) since we started checking whether the addresses are on the
kernel stack at all.

* The new function vm86_do_int(struct vm86_state *state, uint8 vec) provides a
facility to call BIOS interupt handlers. The function must only be called from
a user thread context because the lower 1MB of the address space is used.

* In vm86 mode CS will have arbitrary values so we check for both USER_CODE_SEG
and the VM flag in EFLAGS. This is also done when entering interrupt gates.

23139 into trunk, with roughly the following changes (for details svn
log the branch):
* The int 99 syscall handler is now fully in assembly.
* Added a sysenter/sysexit handler and use it on Pentiums that support
it (via commpage).
* Got rid of i386_handle_trap(). A bit of functionality was moved into
the assembly handler which now uses a jump table to call C functions
handling the respective interrupt.
* Some optimizations to get user debugger support code out of the
interrupt handling path.
* Introduced a thread::flags fields which allows to skip handling of
rare events (signals, user debug enabling/disabling) on the
common interrupt handling path.
* Got rid of the explicit iframe stack. The iframes can still be
retrieved by iterating through the stack frames.
* Made the commpage an architecture independent feature. It's used for
the real time data stuff (instead of creating a separate area).
* The x86 CPU modules can now provide processor optimized versions for
common functions (currently memcpy() only). They are used in the
kernel and are provided to the userland via commpage entries.
* Introduced build system feature allowing easy use of C structure
member offsets in assembly code.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed merge conflict in src/system/kernel/arch/x86/arch_debug.cpp
(caused by refactoring and introduction of "call" debugger command).

Now two complete tss structures exist within the per-cpu structure. Instead
of having to create a seperate area per each one, initialize them in place.
Also, the old mechanism to getting all of the cpus to get initialized was
subtly broken, but still managed to work. Now, just force all the cpus to
initialize at boot, which makes the actual swapping of esp0 somewhat simpler.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20131 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
at boot, per cpu, detect the cpu, pull down all the relevant cpuid bits and
save them into the per-cpu structure. Changed most of the code scattered here
and there that reads the cpuid to use a new api, x86_check_feature, which looks
at the saved bits.
Also changed the system_info stuff to read from these bits.
While i was at it, refreshed all the bits to be current.

turned off - accessing userland memory. Now, arch_thread_enter_userspace() does that
job, and as a result, may also fail.
* dump_thread() now directly prints the info of the current thread when used without
argument (rather than iterating the thread list to look for the current thread).
* If arch_thread_init_tls() fails upon thread creation, the function will now return
an error.

substructure now (that's the only member actually). The system time

functions.
Note, that this commit breaks the PPC build. Since I want to rename at
least one file I've already changed, I can't avoid that.

kernel TLBs from being flushed on context switch.
* new arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate() that now does what arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate()

* arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() will now flush all TLBs, even those from the
kernel.
* some cleanups.

has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

for these changes. I was mostly just staring in amazement at the screen
while Axel and Thomas were discussing IA32 internals. A particularly
fascinating moment was when Thomas produced the cause of a bug we had
been trying to track down for hours off the top of his head (of course
iret behaves specially when the NT bit is set :-). His slowness must be
excused though, since he hadn't slept for more then 30 hours. ;-)
The code doesn't wholeheartedly deal with multi-processor machines yet.
Axel will certainly do some cleanup...

Moved ptentry/pdentry to arch_vm_translation_map.c and renamed them to
page_table_entry and page_directory_entry.
Fixed a race condition that happened when memory was remapped (which
can currently happen because lock_memory() does not work correctly, and
there might be other conditions as well, like certain vm_store fault
handlers). Now, page table and directory entries are updated atomically.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@11522 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Renamed i386_set_kstack() to i386_set_tss_and_kstack(), because that's what
it does.
Added a new function arch_thread_init_tls() which must be called after
having allocated the TLS area.
Renamed arch_thread_initialize_kthread_stack() to arch_thread_init_kthread_stack()
to be more consistent.
Changed the parameters for arch_thread_enter_uspace() - it now gets a pointer
to the thread structure and takes the user stack pointer from there (which
might also be architectural different).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@2379 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Moved the tss_descriptor structure to descriptor.h, updated it to be a
segment_descriptor structure, and provided inlines for set_tss_descriptor(),
set_segment_descriptor(), set_segment_descriptor_base(), and
clear_segment_descriptor().
Also added defines for the different privilege levels and descriptor types.
Removed the unusused and incorrect TSS definition, introduced new
TSS_BASE_SEGMENT and TLS_BASE_SEGMENT macros.
Removed include of arch/cpu.h in arch_cpu.h.
