Inside the page randomization of initial user stack pointer is not only a part
of ASLR implementation but also a performance improvement that helps
eliminating aligned 64 kB data access.
Minimal user stack size is increased to 8 kB in order to ensure that regardless
of initial stack pointer value there is still enough space on stack.
* Added the aforementioned functions.
* create_area_etc() now takes a guard size parameter.
* The thread_info::stack_base/end range now refers to the usable range
only.
Reused x86 arch_user_debugger.cpp, with a few minor changes to make
the code work for both 32 and 64 bit. Something isn't quite working
right, if a breakpoint is hit the kernel will hang. Other than that
everything appears to work correctly.
The cookie is used to store the base address of the area that was just
visited. On 64-bit systems, int32 is not sufficient. Therefore, changed
to ssize_t which retains compatibility on x86 while expanding to a
sufficient size on x86_64.
Since the commpage is at a kernel address, changed 64-bit paging code
to match x86's behaviour of allowing user-accessible mappings to be
created in the kernel portion of the address space. This is also
required by some drivers.
Since this argument may be used to pass pointers, uint32 is not
correct for 64-bit. Effectively no change on 32-bit targets, both
size_t and uint32 are unsigned long there.
This has been done by adding typedefs in elf_common.h to the correct ELF
structures for the architecture, and changing all Elf32_* uses to those
types. I don't know whether image loading works as I cannot test it yet,
there may be some 64-bit safety issues around. However, symbol lookup for
the kernel is working correctly.
The actual implementation of the ELF loading methods have been put into
an ELFLoader template class that takes a single template parameter, which
is a structure containing all the necessary ELF typedefs. It's a bit
verbose, but I thought it was a neater solution than using a bunch of
standalone functions with a huge number of template parameters. There is
no change to code outside of elf.cpp, the ELF32/ELF64 differences are
handled internally.
* 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.

* unify libroot's get_system_revision() (the one I introduced recently) with kernel's
get_haiku_revision(), the function is now called get_haiku_revision() in the kernel

* the length of the sHaikuRevision character array symbol needs to be set explicitly,
as using either _SYS_NAMELEN or sizeof(utsname::version) will only return the values

sHaikuRevision
* add headers/private/system_revision.h which defines SYSTEM_REVISION_LENGTH to 128
* adjust definitions of sHaikuRevision in libroot and kernel accordingly
utsname::version is shorter than SYSTEM_REVISION_LENGTH, but that doesn't cause any harm
until we have indeed switched to a DVCS (in which case longer revision strings will be
cut off by 'uname').

* dropped DaylightSavingTime from real_time_clock code in kernel, it was
never really being used for what it meant (and just being referred to by
gettimeofday(), which put a different meaning to it
* adjusted the syscalls get_timezone() & set_timezone() as well as their callers
accordingly
* got rid of get_rtc_info() and rtc_info struct in kernel, as it was only
being referred to by the FAT add-on and that one (like gettimeofday()) put a
different meaning to tz_minuteswest. Added a comment to FAT's util.c
showing a possible solution, should the hardcoded GMT timezone pose a problem.
* fixed declaration of gettimeofday() to match POSIX base specs, issue 7

* Moved the B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA flag from B_KERNEL_AREA_FLAGS to
B_USER_AREA_FLAGS, since we really allow it to be passed from userland.
* Most VM syscalls check the provided protection against B_USER_AREA_FLAGS
instead of B_USER_PROTECTION, now. This way they allow for
B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA as well.
* _user_map_file(), _user_set_memory_protection(): Check the protection like
the other syscalls do and use fix_protection() instead of doing that
manually.

* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
(it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
operations, though.

* Added stub for mknodat().
* The kernel backend for faccessat() does not yet differentiate between
effective and real user/group IDs, though.

(more or less). This also closes ticket #4928.

* When DEBUG_SPINLOCK_LATENCIES is 1, the system will panic if any spinlock is
held longer than DEBUG_LATENCY micro seconds (currently 200). If your system
doesn't boot anymore, a new safemode setting can disable the panic.
* Besides some problems during boot when the MTRRs are set up, 200 usecs work
fine here if all debug output is turned off (the output stuff is definitely
problematic, though I don't have a good idea on how to improve upon it a lot).
* Renamed the formerly BeOS compatible safemode settings to look better; there
is no need to be compatible there.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@33953 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added new header headers/private/system/disk_device_types.h, which defines
the <DiskDeviceTypes.h> constants as macros and which can be used where the
constants cannot be used. The constants are defined using the macros, so now
there's only one place where the string literals should be specified.

file systems -- most of them seem to hard-code the string literal yet.

function fs_open_attr() that takes a path (same semantics as the

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.

* 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.

- 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.

parameters.
* One can now select which system profiling events one is interested in.

the "wait object" events that allow to interpret what a thread is waiting

added vm_memcpy_from_physical() and vm_memcpy_physical_page(), and
added respective functions to the vm_translation_map operations. The
architecture specific implementation can now decide how to implement
them most efficiently. Added generic implementations that can be used,
though.
* Changed vm_{get,put}_physical_page(). The former no longer accepts
flags (the only flag PHYSICAL_PAGE_DONT_WAIT wasn't needed anymore).
Instead it returns an implementation-specific handle that has to be
passed to the latter. Added vm_{get,put}_physical_page_current_cpu()
and *_debug() variants, that work only for the current CPU,
respectively when in the kernel debugger. Also adjusted the
vm_translation_map operations accordingly.
* Made consequent use of the physical memory operations in the source
tree.
* Also adjusted the m68k and ppc implementations with respect to the
vm_translation_map operation changes, but they are probably broken,
nevertheless.
* For x86 the generic physical page mapper isn't used anymore. It is
suboptimal in any case. For systems with small memory it is too much
overhead, since one can just map the complete physical memory (that's
not done yet, though). For systems with large memory it counteracts
the VM strategy to reuse the least recently used pages. Since those
pages will most likely not be mapped by the page mapper anymore, it
will keep remapping chunks. This was also the reason why building
Haiku in Haiku was significantly faster with only 256 MB RAM (since
that much could be kept mapped all the time).
Now we're using a different strategy: We have small pools of virtual
page slots per CPU that are used for the physical page operations
(memset_physical(), memcpy_*_physical()) with CPU-pinned thread.
Furthermore we have four slots per translation map, which are used to
map page tables.
These changes speed up the Haiku image build in Haiku significantly. On
my Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz 2 GB machine about 40% to 20 min 40 s (KDEBUG
disabled, block cache debug disabled). Still more than factor 3 slower
than FreeBSD and Linux, though.
