interrupts when invoking it. The user TLB invalidation function essentially only
reads and writes back control register 3 (cr3) which holds the physical address
of the current page directory. Still a preemption between the read and the write
can cause problems when the last thread of a team dies and therefore the team
is deleted. The context switch on preemption would decrement the refcount of the
object that holds the page directory. Then the team address space is deleted
causing the context switch returning to that thread to not re-acquire a
reference to the object. At that point the page directory as set in cr3 is the
one of the previously run thread (which is fine, as all share the kernel space
mappings we need). Now when the preempted thread continues though, it would
overwrite cr3 with the physical page directory address from before the context
switch still stored in eax, therefore setting the page directory to the one of
the dying thread that now doesn't have the corresponding reference. Further
progressing the thread would release the last reference causing the deletion
of the object and freeing of the, now active again, page directory. The memory
getting overwritten (by deadbeef) now completely corrupts the page directory
causing basically any memory access to fault, in the end resulting in a
triplefault. This should fix bug #3399.

disk device to the locking functions, not only the ID of the disk device

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.

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...

cannot assume that the file is that long - we need to check for the actual
file size specifically, and then clear the extraneous bytes based on that one.
* This fixes seeing old file left-overs in the space beyond the file size in
mmapped file. Thanks to Oliver who provided me with a nice test program to
reproduce this problem (this should also fix gcc's fix_includes app (although
I wonder what it does if a file actually ends on a page boundary).
* Also fixed a bug in precaching that would cause the last page of the cache
to be discarded, causing it to be re-read later on.
* Moved partial page clearing into its own function
read_pages_and_clear_partial(), even though it's currently only used once.

Moved the static variables for managing the tracing buffer into a separate
area. The area is mapped at one of a few possible physical addresses and can
be found again when rebooting. This allows us to resurrect the tracing buffer
from the previous session, which could help tremendously when tracking certain
bugs (like triple faults). There's very little checking done yet, so it is
probably not as robust as we would wish it to be.

* Reverted r31809 as it introduced a race condition; if the I/O request had been
notified, it could already been deleted at that point.
* Instead, we need to notify the request in each file system/driver that uses
it. Added new notify_io_request() function that does that exactly.
* Added a TODO comment to the userlandfs where the request notification needs
a bit more thought.

* 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
fs_[f]open_attr_dir() functions already present in BeOS).
* Merged former _kern_open_attr(), and _kern_create_attr() into one syscall.
* Cleaned up vfs.h.

UI freezes (ActivityMonitor and ProcessController both use get_system_info() a

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().
