but there's a special handling for 0 us relative timeouts. Syscalls
usually return B_WOULD_BLOCK instead of B_TIMED_OUT in this case, and
callers might explicitely check for it. Hence we don't convert 0 us
timeouts anymore. gdb works again.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23989 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Implemented automatic syscall restarts:
- A syscall can indicate that it has been interrupted and can be
restarted by setting a respective bit in thread::flags. It can
store parameters it wants to be preserved for the restart in
thread::syscall_restart::parameters. Another thread::flags bit
indicates whether it has been restarted.
- handle_signals() clears the restart flag, if the handled signal
has a handler function installed and SA_RESTART is not set. Another
thread flag (THREAD_FLAGS_DONT_RESTART_SYSCALL) can prevent syscalls
from being restarted, even if they could be (not used yet, but we
might want to use it in resume_thread(), so that we stay
behaviorally compatible with BeOS).
- The architecture specific syscall handler restarts the syscall, if
the restart flag is set. Implemented for x86 only.
- Added some support functions in the private <syscall_restart.h> to
simplify the syscall restart code in the syscalls.
- Adjusted all syscalls that can potentially be restarted accordingly.
- _user_ioctl() sets new thread flag THREAD_FLAGS_IOCTL_SYSCALL while
calling the underlying FS's/driver's hook, so that syscall restarts
can also be supported there.
* thread_at_kernel_exit() invokes handle_signals() in a loop now, as
long as the latter indicates that the thread shall be suspended, so
that after waking up signals received in the meantime will be handled
before the thread returns to userland. Adjusted handle_signals()
accordingly -- when encountering a suspending signal we don't check
for further signals.
* Fixed sigsuspend(): Suspending the thread and rescheduling doesn't
result in the correct behavior. Instead we employ a temporary
condition variable and interruptably wait on it. The POSIX test
suite test passes, now.
* Made the switch_sem[_etc]() behavior on interruption consistent.
Depending on when the signal arrived (before the call or when already
waiting) the first semaphore would or wouldn't be released. Now we
consistently release it.
* Refactored _user_{read,write}[v]() syscalls. Use a common function for
either pair. The iovec version doesn't fail anymore, if anything could
be read/written at all. It also checks whether a complete vector
could be read/written, so that we won't skip data, if the underlying
FS/driver couldn't read/write more ATM.
* Some refactoring in the x86 syscall handler: The int 99 and sysenter
handlers use a common subroutine to avoid code duplication.

* Tracing of allocations, reallocations and frees
* Leak checking infrastructure to dump allocations
The leak checking code records the team and thread id when an allocation is
made as well as stores the originally requested size. It also adds the
"allocations" debugger command that can dump all current allocations (usually
a huge list) or filter by either a team or thread id. This way it's easily
possible to find leftover allocations of no more active teams/threads.
Combined with the tracing support one might be able to track down the time and
reason of an allocation and possibly find the corresponding leak if it is one.
Note that kernel heap leak checking has to be enabled manually by setting the
KERNEL_HEAP_LEAK_CHECK define to 1.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23953 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
and pages are now kept in lists as well. This allows to return free pages once
a bin does not need them anymore. Partially filled pages are kept in a sorted
linked list so that allocation will always happen on the fullest page - this
favours having full pages and makes it more likely lightly used pages will get
completely empty so they can be returned. Generally this now goes more in the
direction of a slab allocator.
The allocation logic has been extracted, so a heap is now simply attachable to
a region of memory. This allows for multiple heaps and for dynamic growing. In
case the allocator runs out of free pages, an asynchronous growing thread is
notified to create a new area and attach a new heap to it.
By default the kernel heap is now set to 16MB and grows by 8MB each time all
heaps run full.
This should solve quite a few issues, like certain bins just claiming all pages
so that even if there is free space nothing can be allocated. Also it obviously
does aways with filling the heap page by page until it overgrows.
I think this is now a well performing and scalable allocator we can live with
for quite some time. It is well tested under emulation and real hardware and
performs as expected. If problems come up there is an extensive sanity checker
that can be enabled by PARANOID_VALIDATION that covers most aspects of the
allocator. For normal operation this is not necessary though and is therefore
disabled by default.

(must also compare to BSD; I've looked at their sources, but I might have
missed something).
* Added sys/file.h and the flock() system call.
* common_fcntl() could forget to put back the file descriptor on some error
conditions (I guess we should introduce and use a DescriptorGetter class).
* Cleaned up fcntl.h, moved the BSD extensions S_IREAD and S_IWRITE to
sys/stat.h where they belong, and added the missing S_IEXEC to them.
* Added some more comments.

* While this is not a really good idea for a lock with supposedly little
contention, but it'll fix bug #1731. I haven't tested it yet, but will
do so in a minute :-)
* I will need to rework the slab anyway so that it's possible to use it
as a replacement for our heap, and then I'll switch back to a benaphore
again.

* The kernel now opens up to 8 debugger modules (and puts them into an array;
maybe we'll want to switch to a doubly linked list when there is the need).
* Implemented an example debugger module that prints a stack trace of the
current thread when the kernel debugger is entered (not included in the
image).

For commands with this flag set, the parser won't parse the
arguments provided (it will only check for matching parentheses and
brackets), but will pass the unparsed argument list string to the
command instead.
* Set the new flag for the "expr" command, so one doesn't have to quote
the expression to evaluate anymore (or put it in parentheses).
* Fixed tokenizing of quoted and unquoted strings in expression mode.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23697 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the public hash_grow() function again (at least for now, it's only
private).
* Removed the newSize argument from hash_grow(); it will compute the new size
automatically.
* The block cache is now using hash_insert_grow() instead of hash_insert()
which should make hash lookups much faster with some 10 thousand blocks,
also increased the initial table size from 32 to 1024...

of those entries dramatically.

* Added "printteam" switch to "traced" command, enabling the printing of
the team ID.
* Added "team" filter to the "traced" command expression language.

write code aligned to what one has written in the comment (or the
other way around).
* Made trace_entry structure doubly linked, by introducing a
previous_size member. By using bit fields, shrinking the flags field
to 4 bits, and not saving the lower two bits of size and previous_size
(which are always 0 due to alignment), the structure remains 4 byte
sized and can still address the same entry size.
* kBufferSize is no longer one less than it could be.
* "traced" command:
- Use static variable for the iteration state rather then cluttering
the temporary debug variable name space.
- The <count> parameter can now be negative, in which case the entries
before (and including) <start> are printed.
- Added a new optional parameter, specifying the maximal number of
entries to be filtered. Filtered iteration is beautifully
comfortable now.

I'm still not fully happy with the command. It should be possible to

add_debugger_command(), but additionally takes parameters "usage"
and "flags".
* Added add_debugger_command_alias() which creates another name for an
existing command.
* Added print_debugger_command_usage() to print a command's usage.
* invoke_debugger_command() intercepts invocations with "--help" and
prints the command's usage text, if it is known. If unknown, the
command will be called normally.
* Made use of the new functions in debug.cpp.

a command is executed anymore. Instead the least recently used
temporary variable is overwritten, if there's no free slot for a new
temporary variable.
* Removed the special handling for the command result variable ("_"). It
just works like any other temporary variable, now.
* Individual temporary variables can be removed (e.g. using the "unset"
command).
* Added unset_all_debug_variables() and "unset_all" command to unset
all persistent and temporary variables.
* Removed remove_all_temporary_debug_variables and renamed
remove_debug_variable() to unset_debug_variable().

* As a temporary work-around for the current slab allocator's area usage,
I added the CACHE_LARGE_SLAB flag, which will force the allocator to
use larger areas.

that is a little more powerful than BeOS'. It features:
- Persistent and temporary uint64 variables. The former kind is set
only by the user. The latter (those prefixed "_") can be set
automatically by commands, thus e.g. making it easier to access
members of a dumped structure. They are unset when the next command
is invoked. The special temporary variable "_" is defined as a
command's return value.
- Expressions can contain nested command invocations using brackets
("[ ... ]").
- Command lines are parsed by the expression parser, too. They can
contain command invocations (in brackets) and expressions (in
parentheses).
* Added debugger commands:
- expr: Evaluates the given expression and prints the result.
- unset: Undefines a variable.
- vars: Prints the values of all defined variables.
* Moved debugger command code into its own source file.

As (our) gcc unfortunately uses atexit() to clean up lazily initialized static
variables inside functions we have to ensure that we do the right thing with
unloadable shared objects. In case a shared object was unloaded that installed
an atexit() hook the application would crash on exit. We now implement a
callback into libroot that is used to call all the atexit() hooks of a
component that is to be unloaded. Most prominently this fixes the media_server
crash at shutdown.

* Added function to allocate space in the buffer.
* Dump() now fills a buffer instead of printing its data directly.
* This allows the new "#pattern" argument of the "traced" command to
work. When you're using that, the index of the trace entry is printed
out, too, so that you can then get a full dump around the hits.
* Added an AddDump() method to the AbstractTraceEntry class so that
there is no need to call the inherited function anymore.
* Minor cleanup.

(ie. not compiling in tracing would have crashed if some module tried
to use it).

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).

resized but still had dirty pages to be written back,
vm_cache_resize() (which is called with the inode lock being held)
deadlocked with the page writer.
* Now, I reintroduced busy_writing: it'll be set by everything that
writes back pages (vm_page_write_modified(), and the page writer),
and will be checked for in vm_cache_resize() - other functions are not
affected for now, AFAICT.
* vm_cache_resize() will clear that flag, and the writer will check it
again after it wrote back the page (which will fail when it's outside
the file bounds), and if it's cleared, it will get rid of the page
(if the file has been resized again in the mean time, writing it will
succeed then, and we'll keep the page around).

appear: when freeing a modified page, it wouldn't have a cache
anymore, but set_page_state_nolock() depended on it.
* To work around this, I added a vm_page_free() function, which the
caches that free modified pages have to call (but others may, too).
It will correctly maintain the sModifiedTemporaryPages counter in case
the cache has already been removed.

* ACPI is evaluated first as it also handles things like multi core or hyper threading setups
* Removed other (disabled) hyper threading code per the notes in the corresponding ToDo
* Limit the detected CPU count to 2 for now as I wasn't able to get it working in either emulation nor real hardware with more than 2 CPUs
* Added a reserved byte to the mp_config_table struct, it worked only by luck as the compiler did padding there to get to the same size

certain resolutions and graphics cards.
* The boot loader now recognizes 15 bit modes that are advertised as 16 bit modes.
This should fix wrong colors in 16 bit modes on some cards.

device geometry.
* If SetTo() reports no media, and GetGeometry() fails, the device geometry
is now reset as well.
* KDiskDeviceManager::_ScanPartition() no longer unmarks the partition busy;
this is now done by the caller, and done independently from the outcome of
_ScanPartition(). This also fixes the problem that devices with no media
were never marked unbusy (and thus were ignored subsequently).

that can be used by file systems.
* Changed the way the file cache works: instead of reading/writing to the
underlying device directly, it can now be used for any data source, ie.
also network file systems.
* As a result, the former pages_io() moved to the VFS layer, and can now be
called by a file system via {read|write}_file_io_vec_pages() (naming
suggestions are always welcomed :-)). It now gets an FD, and uses that to
communicate with the device (via its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks).
* The file_cache_{read|write}() functions must now be called without holding
an I/O relevant file system lock. That allows the file cache to prepare the
pages without colliding with the page writer, IOW the "mayBlock" flag can
go into the attic again (yay!).
* This also results in a much better performance when the system does I/O and
is low on memory, as the page writer can now finally write back some pages,
and that even without maxing out the CPU :)
* The API changes put slightly more burden on the fs_{read|write}_pages()
hooks, but in combination with the file_map it's still pretty straight
forward. It just will have to dispatch the call to the underlying device
directly, usually it will just call its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks
via the above mentioned calls.
* Ported BFS and FAT to the new API, the latter has not been tested, though.
* Also ported the API changes to the fs_shell. I also completely removed its
file cache level page handling - the downside is that device access is no
longer cached (ie. depends on the host OS now), the upside is that the code
is greatly simplified.

K{Disk,File,Partitioning}System writing methods. It is now required
that the caller has marked the concerned partitions busy, hence we can
(read-)access them without needing a lock. The module interfaces will
will be changed to take advantage of the fact as well. The methods take a
disk_job_id instead of a KDiskDeviceJob* now, though I haven't quite
decided, whether we need it at all or just want to add a special
handling in the cases where notifications during the operation make
sense.
* Reimplemented the disk device write support syscalls (save
_user_move_partition() for which other module hooks are needed). They
call the KDiskSystem methods, now.

next/prev link order - that messed up the DoublyLinkedListCLink adapter.
* Since it's more likely that someone messes with the C version, the C++ version
now uses the same order than that one.
* This fixes a bug when TCP's BufferQueue tried to iterate over a list, messing
up its integrity.

status checker now only tries to lock the manager, it won't wait anymore.
* Added MediaChanged() and UpdateMediaStatusIfNeeded() methods to KDiskDevice.
* KDiskDeviceManager::_CheckMediaStatus() now uses these new methods; it should
no longer detect removed media more than once :-)

vm_page_reserve_pages() and vm_page_allocate_page() will now steal pages from
the inactive queue as needed.
* We currently never steal active pages anymore, but this might need to be
revised later (therefore, the page scanner never waits anymore, but uses
mutex_trylock() to lock a cache).
* The page scanner and writer now both run at normal priority - let's see how
that will work out.
* Introduced an inactive queue.
* Instead of shuffling pages around in the queue (and therefore destroying LRU)
the page stealing mechanism now uses a marker page to be able to release the
page lock without losing its position in the queue.
* The page writer now always grabs the whole release count of the semaphore, so
that there won't be a huge backlog to catch up with.
* vm_page_num_free_pages() now also includes the inactive queue as well as the
reserved pages (they are no longer regarded as free pages).
* Added a insert_page_after() function that inserts a page after another one,
needed by the marker code.
* clear_page() now gets a vm_page instead of a physical address which simplified
some code.
* Removed superfluous initialization of the queues (if those aren't zeroed on
start, we would have serious problems, anyway).
* Removed old and unimplemented dump_free_page_table() ("free_pages") KDL
command.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22506 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
it intended to. That resulted in more writable pages where you wouldn't want
them (ie. allowing the area to change pages in lower caches).
* We were losing modified pages: vm_unmap_pages() sometimes has to preserve
the modified flag (eg. when called from page fault).
* Both of these were responsible that stealing active pages would crash
applications - even if less likely, this could also have happened when
stealing inactive pages. Therefore, I've activated stealing active pages
again.
* The page writer now pushes the pages of busy vnodes to the end of the queue,
so that it won't pick them up again too soon (the vnode destruction would
be in the process of writing those pages back, anyway).
* The page thief now triggers the page writer to run once it has to steal
active pages. This might be a bit too aggressive, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22495 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
busy vnodes.
* dir_create_entry_ref() used get_vnode() incorrectly (and could therefore
potentially prevent a file system from doing proper locking when called
from the kernel).
* The vnode_store now uses this for its acquire_unreferenced_ref()
implementation (and therefore for the page writer).
* read_into_cache() and write_to_cache() were still marked inline.
* The system will now wait 10 secs for a busy vnode before returning an error.
* It will also no longer panic in that case.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22485 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
additional partition_data* child parameter now.
* _user_get_partitionable_spaces() doesn't need to copy the buffer into
the kernel, since it is no input parameter. It also copies back the
actual partitionable spaces count on error, now -- B_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
is returned when the buffer was too small, but then the count must be
returned too.
* Fixed several instances of syscall implementations that unloaded a disk
system, although they didn't load it in the first place. This screwed
up the load count with undesirable consequences.
* _user_create_child_partition() would set the size to the supplied
offset.
* Fixed broken loop in KPhysicalPartition::CreateShadowPartition().
* KPartition::RemoveChild() notified the listeners about the wrong
event.
* Intel partitioning module:
- The *_get_partitionable_spaces() correctly return B_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
now, if the supplied buffer is too small.
- Implemented a part of pm_shadow_changed(), which creates and updates
the PartitionMap, so that the validate_*() hooks have a chance to
work at all.

* his has to be used by the page writer to make sure the vnode is still valid.
* This should have been the final nail on the Luposian bug - I haven't tested
it yet, but we'll certainly see :-)

interfere with the page thief, we always need to have reserved a page for
this upfront. I introduced a function to the vm_translation_map layer that
estimates how much pages a mapping might need at maximum. All functions that
map a page now call this and reserve the needed pages upfront.
It might not be a nice solution, but it works.
* The page thief could run into a panic when trying to call vm_cache_release_ref()
on a non-existing (NULL) cache.
* Also, it will now ignore wired active pages.
* There is still a race condition between the page writer and the vnode
destruction - writing a page back needs a valid vnode, but that might just
have been deleted.

system initialize() hooks. It's often the only info about the
partition one needs and thus locking the partition just to get it is
no longer necessary.
* intel partitioning system:
- Removed passing around block sizes. We require 512 byte sectors
anyway. In fact using the parent partition's block size was even
wrong.
- Simplified writing the partition map sector.
- Simplified and corrected the partition map initialization.
- We don't fail identifying a partition anymore, if the partition map
contains no partitions. We would never identify a freshly
initialized partition map before.
- Made pm_identify() more intelligent: It determines the priority to
return depending on whether the partition is the device itself and
whether we have recognized child partitions.

does no longer give partitioning systems precedence over file systems.
The one with the greater identification priority wins. ATM, if a file
system wins, we still mount the first file system that recognized the
partition at all, though.

the unmapped page.
* This is needed by everyone who calls this to make sure modifications to a
page aren't ignored. Namely, the page scanner and the page thief were
affected.
* Cleaned up locking the page's cache a bit in page_thief(); there is now
a helper class that takes care of everything.

* the page writer don't allow to block, while all other writers do. This fixes
bug #1509. The reason the page writer needs this is because it marks several
pages from different caches as busy.
* Fixed a warning about ASSERT being defined already in BFS, since
util/DoublyLinkedList.h now includes debug.h.

dprintf() with the exception that it doesn't write anything to the

therefore not be invoked when the thread spinlock is held.

vfs_select.h, respectively moved most of it into the new kernel
private header wait_for_objects.h.
* Added new experimental API functions wait_for_objects[_etc](). They
work pretty much like poll(), but also for semaphores, ports, and
threads.
* Removed the "ref" parameter from notify_select_events() and the
select_sync_pool functions as well as from fd_ops::fd_[de]select(). It
is no longer needed. The FS interface select() hook still has it,
though -- the VFS will always pass 0.
* de]select_fd() take a select_info* instead of a select_sync* + ref
pair, now. Added respective functions for semaphores, ports, and
threads.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22416 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
and thread spinlock was reverse in Wait() and Notify(). The thread lock
is now the outer lock -- this way it is still possible to call Notify()
with the thread lock being held.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22401 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Reworked the select support:
- The io_context additionally stores a table of lists of select_infos,
which enables it to deselect events of a pending select() when
closing a FD. This prevents a race condition potentially causing a
write to stale memory.
- The opaque selectsync* passed to FSs is now actually a select_info*.
This was necessary, since the FDs deselect() hook (unlike the
select() hook) doesn't take a "ref" argument and deselecting a
single info (e.g. caused by a premature close()) was not possible.
The select() hook's "ref" argument has become superfluous.
- It should now be relatively easy to implement a poll_on_steroids()
that can also wait for objects other than FDs (e.g. semaphores,
ports, threads etc.).
* Set/reset the signal mask in common_select(). This makes pselect()
work as required.
* Reorganized vfs_resize_fd_table().

components - now, we divide the initialization of that service into two parts
which allows this (before, most handlers were gone after boot).
* Added debugger command that dumps the low memory handlers.
* The slab allocator now registers its low memory handler with a higher
priority, so that it'll run before the potentially heavier ones.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22374 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* We now have a page writer that takes some pages from the modified queue
and writes it back every few seconds. It can be triggered by the page
scanner to do that more often, though. That mechanism can be greatly
improved once we have our I/O scheduler working.
* Removed vm_page_write_modified_page() again - it was all "eaten up" by
the page writer.
* Reworked vm_page_write_modified_pages() a bit: it now uses
vm_test_map_modification() and vm_clear_map_flags() instead of the
iterating over all areas which wouldn't even work correctly.
The code is much simpler now, too.
* You usually put something to the tail of a queue, and remove the contents
from the head, not vice versa - changed queue implementation to reflect this.
* Additionally, there is now a enqueue_page_to_head() if you actually want the
opposite.
* vm_page_requeue() allows you to move a page in a queue to the head or tail.
* Replaced vm_clear_map_activation() with vm_clear_map_flags() which allows
you to clear other flags than PAGE_ACCESSED.
* The page scanner dumps now some arguments with each run.
* Removed the old disabled pageout_daemon() from NewOS.

* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.

introduced a new vm_page_write_modified_page().
* Resolved a TODO: vm_page_write_modified_pages() did not mark a to be
written page busy but unlocked its cache which could let someone else
steal that page in the mean time.
* Moved the logic when to move a page to the active or inactive queue to
a new function move_page_to_active_or_inactive_queue().
* Moved page_state_to_string() to vm_page(); it's now also used by the
"page" and "page_queue" KDL commands.
* Made the output of the "page_queue list" command more useful.

are locked, there is now a vm_page_reserve_pages() call to ensure upfront that
there is a page for me when I need it, and may have locked some caches.
* The vm_soft_fault() routine now makes use of that feature.
* vm_page_allocate_page() now resets the vm_page::usage_count, so that the file
cache does not need to do this in read_chunk_into_cache() and
write_chunk_to_cache().
* In cache_io() however, it need to update the usage_count - and it does that
now. Since non-mapped caches don't have mappings, the page scanner will punish
the cache pages stronger than other pages which is accidently just what we
want.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22319 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the vm_cache/vm_store ref_count duality that besides being a bit ugly
also created the page dameon cache retrieval problem: now, only areas (and
cache consumers) retrieve a reference to the store (and therefore, the vnode).
The page daemon doesn't need to care about this at all anymore, and the pseudo
references of the vm_cache could be removed again.
* Rearranged deletion of vnodes such that its ID can be reused directly after
fs_remove_vnode() has been called.
* vm_page_allocate_page() no longer panics when it runs out of pages, but just
waits for new pages to become available using the new sFreeCondition condition
variable - to make sure this happens in an acceptable time frame, it'll
trigger a run of the low memory handlers.
* Implemented a page_thief() that steals inactive pages from caches and puts
them into the free queue. It runs as a low memory handler.
* The file cache now sets the usage count on the pages it inserts into the
cache (needs some rework though, cache_io() doesn't do it yet).
* Instead of panicking, the kernel will currently dead lock in low memory
situations, since BFS does a bit too much in bfs_release_vnode().
* Some minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22315 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Fixed vm_page_allocate_page_run(): it did not take the pageState into account,
and would therefore return uninitialized memory (ie. B_CONTIGUOUS areas would
contain garbage).
Now, it stores if a page is cleared in a new vm_page::is_cleared field.
* Some cleanup.

power of two is passed.

a reference to a by them not yet referenced cache was not correct.
They only incremented the reference count, but a vnode cache reference
includes also a vnode reference. In case of the page daemon this would
cause vnode references to be lost (causing bug #1465).
* The page daemon used an unsafe method to access a yet unreferenced
page cache. There was nothing that prevented the cache from being
deleted while the page daemon tried to get a reference. The
vm_page::cache field is now protected by the page cache table
spinlock, too, which the new function
vm_cache_acquire_page_cache_ref(), used by the page daemon, also
acquires while trying to get the reference.

* Added an "orphaned" flag to the process_group structure and code to
maintain it.
* Handle the death of a controlling process correctly: The
foreground process group gets a SIGHUP and all newly-orphaned process
groups containing at least one stopped processes are sent
SIGHUP+SIGCONT.
* The tty handles the O_NOCTTY flag correctly, now.
* The tty handles reads/writes from processes from other sessions
correctly, now.
* Handle tcsetpgrp() from background processes correctly.

* The vm_translation_map is now correctly held in all of the vm_ mapping
functions.
* Removed the old vm_daemons.c file - there is now a new vm_daemons.cpp
which contains the beginnings of our new page daemon.
So far, it's pretty static and not much tested. What it currently does
is to rescan all pages in the system with a two-handed clock algorithm
and push pages into the modified and inactive lists.
* These inactive pages aren't really stolen yet, even though their mappings
are removed (ie. their next access will cause a page fault). This should
slow down Haiku a bit more, great, huh? :-)
* The page daemon currently only runs on low memory situations, though.

DEBUG_CACHE_LIST) that prints an unspectacular list of pointers to all
existing caches. Feel free to extend.
* Enhanced MultiAddressSpaceLocker:
- It supports choosing between read and write lock per address space,
now.
- Added AddAreaCacheAndLock(), which adds the address spaces of all
areas that are attached to a given area's cache, locks them, and
locks the cache. It makes sure that the area list didn't change in
the meantime and optionally also that all areas have their
no_cache_change flags cleared.
* Changed vm_copy_on_write_area() to take a cache instead of an area,
requiring it to be locked and all address spaces of affected areas to
be read-locked, plus all areas' no_cache_change flags to be cleared.
Callers simply use MultiAddressSpaceLocker:: AddAreaCacheAndLock() to
do that. This resolves an open TODO, that the areas' base, size, and
protection fields were accessed without their address spaces being
locked.
* vm_copy_area() does now always insert a cache for the target area. Not
doing that would cause source and target area being attached to
the same cache in case the target protection was read-only. This
would make them behave like cloned areas, which would lead to trouble
when one of the areas would be changed to writable later.
* Fixed the !writable -> writable case in vm_set_area_protection(). It
would simply change the protection of all mapped pages for this area,
including ones from lower caches, thus causing later writes to the
area to be seen by areas that shouldn't see them. This fixes a problem
with software breakpoints in gdb. They could cause other programs to
be dropped into the debugger.
* resize_area() uses MultiAddressSpaceLocker::AddAreaCacheAndLock() now,
too, and could be compacted quite a bit.

Condition variables would never be interrupted.
* ConditionVariableEntry::Add() did not correctly insert the entry into
the per-thread list of entries (the next link of the previous entry
was not adjusted), which could leave the entry unnotified when the
previous entry was notified, thus leaving it in the respective
condition variable's list after the end of its life time. This should
fix a crashing bug I rarely encountered.
* Added debug checks in the PrivateConditionVariableEntry
constructor/destructor that should have helped me to find
forementioned bug hours earlier, had I been bright enough to realize
that I didn't include <debug.h> and those KDEBUG guarded checks were
never executed. :-/

is used instead of death_entry for team::dead_children.
* Added team::{stopped,continued}_children, which, analoguously to
dead_children, are used to track the state of stopped/continued
children.
* A team does have a job_control_entry, which is allocated at team
creation time. It will be inserted into the parent's
{stopped,continued}_children lists as the team's main thread is
stopped/continued and removed when waitpid() retrieves the child
state. When the team dies the entry is detached from the team and goes
into the parent's dead_children list.
* Removed the wait_for_any field from team_dead_children. It was solely
used to avoid deletion of the contained entries in certain situations.
wait_for_child() (the waitpid() backend) always deletes an entry now,
regardless of whether other threads are waiting; that's in
accordance with the waidpid() specification. wait_for_thread() removes
the entry only, if the caller is the parent of the respective team.
* Introduced team_set_job_control_state() which performes the job
control entry transitions between the respective lists and wakes up
threads waiting in wait_for_child(). It is invoked on team death and
when the team's main thread receives job control signals.
* Reorganized wait_for_child(). It handles WCONTINUED and WUNTRACED now,
too. Removed a block that interpreted the supplied ID as thread ID.
* Added missing parts in waitpid().
Job control starts to work, though it seems to have some glitches.

* It is now possible for a thread to wait for more than one condition

that it is now possible to wake up only one of the waiting threads.

* Replaced the
file_system_module_info/partition_module_info::supports_*()
hooks by a get_supported_operations() hook and for partitioning
systems additionally a get_supported_child_operations() hook.
* Updated file and partitioning systems accordingly.
* Updated fs_shell accordingly.
* Updated the DDM accordingly. The syscall interface remains unchanged,
though.
* _user_supports_initializing_partition() also checks whether the parent
partitioning system is content now.

and cancels an eventually set alarm. Both things weren't done before...
* Some minor cleanups.

* Pulled the actual tree code into a non-templatized class AVLTree to
reduce the amount of code generated each time the template is
instantiated.
* Changed the iterator interface to Java-style.

* Removed a few instances where the page state was set busy directly after
allocating it. This is a no-op, since a page is always busy after
allocation.

* Adjusted Jamfiles of components that used <util/AutoLock.h> but didn't
add all header directories required now (<int.h> was added).

* Removed the ref_count from vm_areas. You now always need to have the address
space locked (read or write, depending on what you do) when dealing with
areas.
* Added helper classes for locking the address space: AddressSpace{Read|Write}Locker,
and MultiAddressSpaceLocker which can lock several spaces at once and makes
sure no dead locks can happen.
* resize_area() is now using the MultiAddressSpaceLocker instead of no locking
at all; ie. it should now be safely to use.
* Disabled transfer_area() for now; it will be changed to work like an atomic
clone_area()/delete_area(), that is, it will hand out a new ID for the
transfered area.

* Simplified the notification framework: removed the updater stuff completely;
it was only there to account for some peculiarities of the node monitor which
we now solved differently.
* NotificationListener no longer includes a doubly linked list link for convenience;
it might want to listen to more than just one service.
* NotificationService cannot have an abstract destructor.
* Changed the _user_stop_watching() syscall to mirror the Be API; ie. it's no
longer possible to just remove some flags separately, just to stop listening
completely.
* Adapted the node monitor implementation to live in the NodeMonitorService class
that uses the new notification framework.
* Removed the public kernel node monitor API - it wasn't useful that way since you
couldn't do a lot with the KMessage in the kernel without using a private API.
Now you will have to use the (private) notification manager to use the node monitor
from inside the kernel. At a later point, we might introduce a public API for that,
too.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21780 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added a Current() method to the same class that returns the current element again.

VM low memory handler).

therefore, we could remove the ugly defines from KMessage again, and compile it
with KMESSAGE_CONTAINER_ONLY.
* Added KMessage::SetDeliveryInfo() to be able to send messages with a correct
header.
* Fixed a bug in KMessage::SendTo() that would not send the senderTeam when passing
a negative value for the parameter, but override it when passing in a valid
value.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21740 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Moved method documentation from headers to source files.
* Fixed small problems (memory leaks, unsafe string duplication,...).
* Added TODOs where I spotted problems.

for _kern_load_image().
* Added KMessage to the runtime_loader (a bit hacky, though) - it will use
it to deliver the above mentioned functionality.
* load_dependencies() did return the wrong status code in case a library
was missing; now it returns B_MISSING_LIBRARY.
* load_dependencies() will now try to load all dependencies when a report
message is requested; therefore, all missing libraries are listed.
* Renamed uspace_program_args to user_space_program_args.
* The kernel filled in various members of the user_space_program_args structure
unsafely, ie. was not using user_memcpy().
* Renamed some local variables in team.c to better fit our style guide (ie.
uargs to userArgs).
* Changed Tracker to use the new _kern_load_image() variant on Haiku to retrieve
and report all missing libraries. This fixes bug #1324.
* Adapted kernel_cpp.cpp to the runtime loader as well; the latter will now
compile with _LOADER_MODE defined.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21715 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* More conditional debug code (wrt page transitions between caches).
* Replaced debugger command cache_chain by a nicer cache_tree.
* While handling a soft fault: When we temporarily unlock a cache, it
can theoretically become busy. One such occurrence is now handled
properly, two more panic() ATM, though should be fixed.
* When merging caches, we do now always replace a dummy page in the
upper cache, not only when the concurrent page fault is a read fault.
This prevents a page from the lower (to be discarded) cache from still
remaining mapped (causing a panic).
* When merging caches and replacing a dummy page, we were trying to
remove the dummy page from the wrong cache (causing a panic).
The Haiku kernel seems now to run shockingly stable. ATM, we have more
than two hours uptime of a system booted and running over network. We
didn't manage to get it down by fully building Pe, downloading, unzipping,
and playing with various stuff. Someone should finally fix all those app
server drawing bugs, though (hint, hint! ;-)).

stack hungry and would previously hit the stack limit and thus cause a
double fault. Hopefully we'll be able to reduce the stack foot print at
some time.
PXE boot does now fully work.

* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.
Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

with the same size as the class is defined.
* The SetTo() methods do now accept an unspecified (negative) bufferSize
in case of being told to initialize from the given buffer.
* Added handy Get*() methods returning a field element value or a
supplied default value, if the field element doesn't exist.
* Added also handy Set*() methods setting the value of first element of
a field, i.e. adding it, if it didn't exist before, otherwise
replacing the old value. Only for fixed size types.
* Moved _FindType() inline template method into the header.
* Made the source file fit for use in the boot loader. If the macro
KMESSAGE_CONTAINER_ONLY is defined, the message sending/receiving part
is omitted.

* vm_copy_on_write_area() now does no longer overwrite the ref_count, but keeps
it's reference to the cache until it has unlocked it.
* It now also locks its reference from the start, preventing any other thread
to interfere.
* vm_cache_remove_consumer() now detects if it has to remove a foreign busy
page itself in order to preserve a mapped page.
* vm_soft_fault() now keeps a reference to the cache that owns the page to be
mapped until it has actually mapped it.
* vm_unmap_pages() removed the mappings of all pages of the area instead of only
those that are within the requested range.
* Kept (disabled) debug output for convenience.

* New debugger command "find_page", which searches all page queues to
find out, which one a page is actually in.
* Solved nasty race condition between the page scrubber and
vm_page_allocate_page_run(): The page scrubber didn't mark the pages
it was processing busy, so that vm_page_allocate_page_run() could claim
them in the meantime. They would end up in the clear pages queue,
although being assigned to a cache at the same time. This should
finally solve bug #1056.

* Added a comment to vm_remove_all_page_mappings() that shows that we need to
change the mapping spinlock into a mutex.
* Pointed out some potential problems in the code.

in preparation of the page scanner rewrite.

possibility to initialize the AutoLocker without locking the object even
if it is unlocked yet. Especially in loops Lock()/Unlock() come handy

I suppose we should move the kernel utils AutoLocker implementation

{set,clear}_debugger_{break,watch}point(), allowing to set/clear break

the team enters the debugger. Handy in situations when the program in
question can't really be started in a debugger (or it would be
complicated to do so). The functions work only as long as no debugger is
installed for the team.
We clear the arch specific team and thread debug infos now, when a new
debugger is installed, thus clearing break- and watchpoints.

that points to both, the page and the area the page is in. This will allow a page
scanner to steal unused pages when necessary.
* The locking is currently done with a spinlock which we might want to have another
look at one day.

* Removed send_notification().

* vm_clone_area() now respects the source area's wiring and inherits it. This
should fix bug #1055.
* vm_cache::type is now duplicated in vm_area::cache_type - this allows looking
it up without having to lock a vm_cache_ref; this also solves a locking bug
in vm_unmap_pages() in this regard.

Basically, there was a pretty subtle race between the cpus in main where if the main cpu released the AP cpus and then before the AP cpus had a chance to run the boot cpu started creating the main thread (which causes smp ici messages to be created) the system would livelock, where the boot cpu waited forever for the AP cpu to acknowledge the ICI (for a TLB flush when creating the kernel stack).
Added smp_cpu_rendezvous(), used to synchronize all the cpus to a particular point, and used it a few times in main().
While i was at it i fixed another race that'll probably never happen, but what the hey. Make sure the kernel args are copied into kernel space by the main cpu before letting any other ones use it.

* vm_area and vm_page now have a new field "mappings" where they will store lists
of vm_page_mapping structures. vm_page::ref_count is gone, as it's no longer
needed (it was never updated correctly, anyway).
* vm_caches now have a type field, ie. CACHE_TYPE_RAM for anonymous areas - this
makes the stores a bit less independent, but is quite handy in several places.
* Added new vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_pages() functions to be used whenever you
map in or unmap pages into/from an area. They don't do much more than handling
vm_page::wired_count correctly right now, though (ie. B_LAZY_LOCK is now working
as expected as well).
* Moved the device fault handler to vm_map_physical_memory(); it was not really
used as a fault handler, anyway.
* Didn't notice Ingo's changes to the I/O space region broke lock_memory(). It
now checks the type of the area that contains the memory, and doesn't lock
anymore if not needed which solves the problem in a platform independent way.
* Implemented lock_memory() and unlock_memory() for real: they now change the
vm_page::wired_count member to identify pages that shouldn't be paged out.
* vm_area_for() now uses vm_area_lookup() internally.
* Fixed various potential overflow conditions with areas that reach 0xffffffff.
* Creating anonymous areas with B_FULL_LOCK no longer causes vm_soft_fault()
to be called, instead, the pages are allocated and mapped (via vm_map_page())
directly.
* Removed the _vm_ prefix for create_area_struct() and create_reserved_area_struct().
* Fixed a bug in vm_page_write_modified() that would not have enqueued pages that
failed to be written to the modified queue again when needed.

* Renamed them, made everything static besides vm_allocate_early() (previous
vm_alloc_from_kernel_args()) which now allows you to specify a different
virtual than physical size, and therefore makes vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args()
superfluous (which isn't exported anymore, and is now called allocate_early_virtual()).
* Enabled printing a stack trace on serial output on team crash - it doesn't hurt
for now, anyway.
* Cleanup.

The first use is to let the kernel decide what the preferred syscall mechanism is at boot time and copy the
appropriate user space code there. Can be used for routines the kernel can decide best how to use (memcpy, some
timing routines, etc).

the new cpuid stuff was apparently exacerbating an existing problem where various bits of low level
cpu code (specifically get_current_cpu) weren't really initialized before being used. Changed the
order to set up a fake set of threads to point each cpu at really early in boot to make sure that at
all points in code it can get the current 'thread' and thus the current cpu.
A probably better solution would be to have dr3 point to the current cpu which would then point to the
current thread, but that has a race condition that would require an int disable, etc.

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.

mode.

for one quantum wasn't really a good idea, as this could get quite expensive for the thread
(depending on the system load, it might have taken a long time until the thread was scheduled
again, no matter what priority it was).
Also, calling thread_yield() in a loop would have taken 100% CPU time.
Now, we sort the thread into the queue as with any other thread, but we'll ignore it once.
This now guarantees an actual context switch, as well as a much fairer rescheduling policy
for threads calling that function.

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.

Replaced the _kern_null syscall with _kern_is_computer_on.
is_computer_on_fire is a bit harder, since it returns a float from kernelland, which

* we now always flush the TLBs after having unmapped some pages.
* vm_soft_fault() could traverse to a source cache while it was being collapsed
by vm_cache_remove_consumer() - this is now no longer possible as the latter
marks the cache as busy when doing so, and the former now tests this flag and
locks the cache (via the new fault_acquire_locked_source() function).
* if fault_acquire_locked_source() fails with B_BUSY, the current cache is locked
again, and tested again for the page - as it might have been moved upwards to it
with the destruction of its former source.
* The cache delivering the page for vm_soft_fault() is now locked until the end;
it can no longer go away before having actually mapped the page into the area.
* This also fixes the issue where pages would get lost as vm_soft_fault() put the
page in the active list, no matter if its cache still existed.
* Also, we now keep a reference of to a cache in case a dummy page is inserted; this
makes again sure that it doesn't go away during the execution of vm_soft_fault()
(which could even add this page to the free list...).
* divided vm_soft_fault() into several smaller functions which should make it much
more readable.
* Added a "cache_chain" KDL command that dumps the whole chain until the bottom
when giving a pointer to a vm_cache as parameter.
* now usually call vm_cache_acquire_ref() before map_backing_store(), even though
it shouldn't be really needed (I added it for debugging purposes).
* Some minor cleanup.
* NOTE: a major problem still persists: when removing a vm_cache, it's possible
that some of its pages are still mapped, and there is currently no mechanism
to get rid of these mappings! I've added TODO comments into vm_cache.c where
appropriate.

* As a result, the process group stuff and wait_for_child() got much simpler;
get_death_entry() and update_wait_for_any() could go away completely.
* If a team goes away, all of its children are now "reparented" to the kernel team,
instead of the team's parent - this follows common implementations (and POSIX if
I understand it correctly), but not BeOS anymore. The OpenGroup Base says this
about this topic: "If a parent process terminates without waiting for all of its
child processes to terminate, the remaining child processes shall be assigned a
new parent process ID corresponding to an implementation-defined system process."
* We wait too long in wait_test_4 which at least puts us on par with Linux; see
comment in _user_setpgid().

some Pentium 200 MMX pretend to support MTRRs.
This should fix bug #553.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19899 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
this fixes bug #227 again (which I recently opened again accidently).
* We actually switched the last consumer's source without having acquired its
lock! This fixes some rare random app crashes as well as potential kernel
crash ("cache to be deleted still has consumers").
* Some more comments to explain why things are done and can be done the way they
are done :-)

* "sc"/"where"/"bt" now prints the area where the function of the stack frame
is located in case there is no other information (using the above function).

two cache_refs - it needs to count the consumers of the lower cache to find
its actual number of references; the upper cache could still be in use by
someone else.
* There were several locking bugs in the VM code; since cache_ref::cache can
change, we must not access it without having the cache_ref locked.
* As a result, map_backing_store() now requires you to have the lock of the
store's cache_ref held.
* And therefore, some functions in vm_cache.c must no longer lock the cache_ref
on their own, but require the caller to have it locked already.
* Added the -s option to the cache/cache_ref KDL commands: it will only print
the requested structure, and not its counterpart (useful if accessing one
structure results in a page fault, as was possible previously).

the userland stack in an unsafe way - moved that stuff to arch_thread_enter_userspace(), too.

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.

them to commit substantially less memory (we we're committing about 40 MB (!) too much
after a complete system boot). This means you'll run out of memory less likely now.
* fill_area_info() no longer filters out kernel protection flags - we may want to keep
filtering them when called from userland, though, dunno.
* Added new debugger command "avail" which shows how much memory has been committed, and
how much is regarded as free space.

to other kernel components.
* wait_for_thread_etc() will now search the team's death entries in case the
thread is already gone; also resume_thread() is now done later, and its return
code will no longer matter (as we already have our death entry, no matter if
the thread is gone now or not).
* The fibo_load_image test now works as expected (only tested with low numbers
yet, though - the mean testing comes later (first comes functionality) :-))

in addr_range.h to add ranges to the arrays. This fixes the crashing bug reported
by Larry Baydak.
* Added some more exported functions to kernel_args.cpp (prototypes are in addr_range.h).
* TODO: let the PPC/OpenFirmware implementation use those as well.

commented the insertion of the attribute name in patterns in the case of a string attribute
notify_probe_by_file chooses a module based on a bus specific suffix
dm_register_child_device has a parameter to optionally check the support for the node
added scanning of bus devices after the boot filesystem is mounted
fixed dm_rescan, locking was misbehaving
fixed SYSTEM_DRIVER_REGISTRATION definition
added B_DRIVER_MAPPING attributes for PCI and ACPI devices:
%vendor%_%device% for PCI, hid_%hid% and type_%type% for ACPI
moved acpi_device_module_info definition to public ACPI.h

pretty close, and the number of loaded modules have a direct influence on
this (even though we're currently loading the symbols by default).

* added a generic syscall for device_manager
it enables to iterate the device manager tree from userland
* the listdev tool is now using it: it's still incomplete as it only dumps nodes and attributes

This allowes to actually execute the boot loader now.
Need to use Ingo's remote_disk_server now for booting.
