Comments to #9672 agree that there's really no need to
expose the dev_t handle, thus simplifying the API.
The dev_t handle, if required, can be retrieved via
BPartition::GetVolume() instead.
This patch adds user_access() which can be used to gracefully handle
page faults that may happen when accessing user memory. It is used
by arch_cpu_user{memcpy, memset, strlcpy}() to allow using optimized
functions from the standard library.
Currently only x64 uses this, but nothing really is arch specific here.

This is a major rework of how Haiku implements memset() and memcpy() on
x64. These functions are now removed from the commpage and reimplemented
in C++ using sse2 where it proved to be beneficial. That required some
serious changes in handling fpu state. Now, full fpu state is saved
at each interrupt, but not on task switch.
Some numbers: results of building targets: kernel libroot.so runtime_loader
and HaikuDepot on Intel i7 4770 with 16GB of memory.

As Alex pointed out we can leak possibly sensitive data in xmm registers
when returning from the kernel. To prevent that xmm0-15 are zeroed
before sysret or iret. The cost is negligible.

The kernel is allowed to use fpu anywhere so we must make sure that
user state is not clobbered by saving fpu state at interrupt entry.
There is no need to do that in case of system calls since all fpu
data registers are caller saved.
We do not need, though, to save the whole fpu state at task swich
(again, thanks to calling convention). Only status and control
registers are preserved. This patch actually adds xmm0-15 register
to clobber list of task swich code, but the only reason of that is
to make sure that nothing bad happens inside the function that
executes that task swich. Inspection of the generated code shows
that no xmm registers are actually saved.

Enable SSE as a part of the "preparation of the environment to run any
C or C++ code" in the entry points of stage2 bootloader.
SSE2 is going to be used by memset() and memcpy().

Just following the path of least resistance and adding andq $~15, %rsp
where appropriate. That should also make things harder to break
when changing the amount of stuff placed on stack before calling the
actual syscall routine.

There is absolutely no reason for these functions to be in commpage,
they don't do anything that involves the kernel in any way.
Additionaly, this patch rewrites memset and memcpy to C++, current
implementation is quite simple (though it may perform surprisingly
well when dealing with large buffers on cpus with ermsb). Better
versions are coming soon.
Signed-off-by: Paweł Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>
The possibility to specify custom memcpy and memset implementations
in cpu modules is currently unused and there is generally no point
in such feature.
There are only 2 x86 vendors that really matter and there isn't
very big difference in performance of the generic optmized versions
of these funcions across different models. Even if we wanted different
versions of memset and memcpy depending on the processor model or
features much better solution would be to use STT_GNU_IFUNC and save
one indirect call.
Long story short, we don't really benefit in any way from
get_optimized_functions and the feature it implements and it only adds
unnecessary complexity to the code.

* With HAIKU_NO_DOWNLOADS=1, the check against existing package files
in the download folder should only be done in the phase that is
adding packages to be put onto the resulting target image, not in the
phase that is adding the bootstrap packages (as here those packages
will be *built*, not downloaded).
* Instead of removing "system" in the target completely, only
replace all of its subfolders.
* The downside of the current solution is that extra files, and
directories in "system" will not be removed. Improvements
welcome.
* Before, it would just overwrite the previous name, leaving extra
bytes from the previous name (they wouldn't become part of the
host name, but it just didn't look that nice).

* Increase the RAM limit to 128K per screenshot
* Reduce retrieved size to 320 pixel wide
* Don't expect to be able to read the stream in one call,
read it in 4K chunks.
* Print some errors in this code-path to stderr.
* The categories and other filter options are orthogonal. Don't
force the user to choose between real categories and for example
"installed" or "available" in the same drop-down. I've removed
(for now) the Options main menu. There are now four small check-marks
below the filtering drop-downs: Available, Installed, Development and
Source Code. These enable showing the respective packages in the list
view. Only "Available" is checked by default. This changes the default
behavior to show only not-yet-installed packages. This change puts
the filtering options in one place, the showing of development or
source code packages is not "hidden somewhere else" anymore. I am not
so happy with the additional row, however, I am also thinking about
using icons instead of the checkmarks.
* Fixed finding the suitable package translation for summary and
description. For example, WonderBrush now has a German translation.

Both data array and its size should be constant so that GCC can do
as much as possible at compile time and it is safe to use them in
static assertions.
This patch also changes the type of size constant to size_t which
more appropriate and uses sizeof() to determine the size of the
array.

* VT100 is much more common than VT52 which the u-boot port was
previously using (a legacy of the Atari m68k port)
* Implement serial_getc (again, code is identical to raspberry port...)
so the boot menu can be used over the serial port. The enter key is
recognized, arrows currently aren't.
* Cursor coordinates are 1-based, not 0-based
* Color change was disabled and broken
This implementation of our console over VT100 is generic and should be
moved out of the raspberry-pi specific folder. However, leaving it there
for now as we will have some bigger reorganization a swe add FDT support
here.
* Fixed retrieving rating summary for the list view.
* Rating and command are optional in the web app (or probably you need
to specify at least one of them). Handle ratings with just the comment
but no rating in average calculation.
Fix regression introduced in commit 2f60dea5: BSymlink::ReadLink()
returns a byte count in the success case, which ThrowOnError() does
not anticipate. Consequently, attempts to copy symlinks would fail.
No big functional reason for this, but rather keep it in sync now
then have to do lots of work later on, when there are major changes.
Once I have it fully fleshed out for ARM, I might take a look if
we can generalise it a little more, as there's lots of code
_exactly_ the same for both platforms (and other platforms in
progress using the same code).
* Removes default mapping of a portion of the RAM (will be done
as needed)
* Passes on the page directory area to kernel, so on early vm init
the kernel can use the area for pagetable allocation.
* Leaves it to the platform to pass in physical memory range(s). This
will ultimately come from FDT.
* Fix long standing issue with allocation of the heap, potentially
causing other part of the bootloader to overwrite the heap.
* Implements pagetable allocator in kernel for early vm mapping.
This fixes the first PANIC seen, we now just get the same one later
on when the VM is up... more to come...
We have _start/_end symbols to mark our start and end, use those
to determine where we are loaded. We're slowly getting closer to
a fully dynamic handling of our memory map!
Let the platform mmu_map_physical_memory the initrd region, and
reserve it before calling mmu_init. This removes another hardcoded
address, since e.g. U-Boot gets the address from the uImage file.
