- Reimplemented mutex to use the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- The initializer functions cannot fail anymore -- changed their return type
to void.
- Changed the initializer function semantics to not copy the name by default
anymore (as in the kernel). Also added *_etc() versions of them that take an
additional flags.
- Added static initializer macros.
- Made the mutex (and thus recursive_lock) lock functions non-interruptable.
- Got rid of the "lazy" version. They are no longer needed, since the
initialization of the standard types can be done statically and cannot fail.
* Adjusted libroot, runtime loader, and other code using the private libroot
locking primitives to the new semantics.
* pthreads mutexes and condition variables:
- Reimplemented using the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- Consistently use POSIX error codes.
- Fixed some not quite POSIX compliant behavior.

keeping all returned heap memory in the 0xdeadbeef state (including the
first sizeof(void *) bytes otherwise for the free list). While wasting a lot
of memory it allows you to rely on 0xdeadbeef being always present as no
future allocation will reuse the freed memory block.
* Also added heap_debug_malloc_with_guard_page() which is intended to allocate
a memory block so it is aligned that the start of invalid memory past the
allocation is in an unmapped guard page. However the kernel backend that would
guarantee this is not yet implemented, so right now this works only by chance
if no other area happens to be allocated exactly past the created one. With a
very specifc suspicion you can put that one allocation you get to good use
though. It causes a crash when accessing memory past the allocation size so
you actually get a backtrace from where the access happened instead of only
after freeing/wall checking.

* Make the contiguous page allocation capable of aligning the allocation
and make it more clever by checking up front if there's a chance of getting
enough pages at all, by giving up earlier if the page count can't be fit
anymore, and in the alignment case by only checking the pages which have a
valid alignment.
* If the alignment requirement is > B_PAGE_SIZE we now use page allocation
directly, because the bins aren't necesarily aligned on their size past
B_PAGE_SIZE anymore.
* When doing aligned bin allocation, calculate the aligned size up front and
choose the right heap for the allocation.
* Also when doing aligned bin allocations we not only need to round up the size
but also ensure that the bin we choose is aligned at all.
* Moved adding leak check info into it's own function.
Fixes various misalignment problems when working with alignments > B_PAGE_SIZE
or when using alignments < allocation size. Also the directly aligned page
allocations now only use up as many pages as actually required instead of
allocating based on the rounded up to align size.

When initializing driver settings, make sure to set the parameter count to 0,
because these settings have not been parsed yet. This allows us to safely free
the settings. Freeing the settings is triggered in load_driver_settings() if
we encounter settings which have been originally loaded by the boot_loader,
which might be stale. I think the bug would trigger for settings which had been
loaded by the boot_loader but had never been parsed.
With this change, I can use the userlandfs on all my machines.

* Relocated trash context menu logic to BContainerWindow so it can also be used at the volume roots.

sHeapBase will probably not point to memory in the heap area. Use
sFreeHeapBase instead.
* When reserving the heap area range fails, set sHeapBase to NULL, so we'll
later know about the fact.
* hoardSbrk(): When resizing the area fails, we'll now try to allocate a new
one, if the former failure was not due to an "out of memory" situation.
E.g. if the heap range reservation failed or, if we just have exhausted the
range, another area could be in the way. Also when mmap()ing over
malloc()ed, the heap area count be split in two with the first part
retaining the old area ID, thus preventing resizing as well. Fixed#5168.

libroot. The mutex is a simple benaphore, the rw_lock is pretty much the same
as the one from libkernelland_emu but uses a mutex per lock instead of emulating
a global thread lock. Also added MutexLocking and RWLock{Read|Write}Locking and
AutoLockers based on them. It's cased with __cplusplus so the locks are also
usable from C. Everything's currently exposed in shared/private/locks.h but I

capabilities to aid in debugging memory corruption issues.
It does:
* Initialize memory to 0xcc to help turn up use of uninitialized memory
* Set freed memory to 0xdeadbeef to help find accesses of freed memory
* Use the paranoid heap validation to turn up many cases of memory corruption
* Use a simplistic wall check to turn up memory overwrites past allocations
* Take extra steps to validate freed addresses to turn up misaligned frees
It has an interface to en-/disable paranoid validation and to start/stop regular
wall checking. Both are currently just enabled. At a later stage a debug version
of libroot could be used by an application and the checks enabled at will. Note
that due to the paranoid validation and the suboptimal locking this allocator
will perform horribly. Still to find memory corruption issues in the system or
also in your applications it can be helpful to build your installation with it
turned on. To enable it you currently need to edit the Jamfile to sub-include
the malloc_debug instead of the malloc directory.

unsupported way in the cp copy_attributes() implementation, try to be
more forgiving and support writing attributes at an offset. The method is
required to behave inconsistent in that replacing bytes at offset 0 is
not supported as replacing bytes at any other offset. Writing at offset 0
will clobber the existing attribute to stay compatible with BeOS.
NOTE: BFS itself still does not support writing attributes at an offset which
are withing the "small data section". To work around this problem, programs
which copy attributes in a loop must make sure that their buffer is large
enough that such "small data section" attributes require only one loop
iteration.

for sake of binary compatibility. This breaks source compatibility, though,
which we can't help, since the class doesn't have reserved vtable slots.
* Fixed several issues with the stat structure change, mostly adjusted uses of
BRefFilter.

* Made the TimeZoneView less error prone, and also actually use Haiku code (the
previous check didn't work since it used #if, not #ifdef).
* Also took the liberty to rename our boot loader to haiku_loader, since I had
to update the nasm binary anyway. Updated the assembly sources to nasm 2.0.
* I haven't found where the synth location in the MIDI code is specified,
though.
* Also, NetBootArchive, and FloppyBootImage haven't been updated yet. Will do
so next.
* Some optional packages still put their license to beos/etc/licenses. I didn't
update them yet, as we'll probably do so anyway at some point. Also, I think
we might want to introduce a common/data/licenses instead for those.
* If you encounter any problems, please tell!

ported software:
* If the macro B_USE_POSITIVE_POSIX_ERRORS is defined the POSIX error code
constants (ENOMEM, EINTR,...) will have positive values.
* Introduced the macros B_TO_{POSITIVE,NEGATIVE}_ERROR() which do convert a
given error code to a positive/negative value.
* Added static library libposix_error_mapper.a that overrides all POSIX
functions (save the ones I forgot to add :-)) directly meddling with error
codes (having them as parameter or returning them) dealing with the
positive<->negative error code conversions. The functions have hidden
visibility, so they affect only the shared object they are linked into.
* So ideally all one has to do is to build a ported software with
-DB_USE_POSITIVE_POSIX_ERRORS and -lposix_error_mapper and be good with
respect to error code problems.
* Potential issues:
- When mixing ported and Haiku native code, i.e. using Haiku native code in
a ported software or using a ported library in a Haiku native application
care must be taken to convert error codes where the two interface. That's
what the B_TO_{POSITIVE,NEGATIVE}_ERROR() macros are supposed to be used
for.
- A ported static library can obviously not be linked directly against
-lposix_error_mapper. The shared object linking a against the ported static
library has to do that. The previous point applies when that causes mixing
with Haiku native code.
- When dependent ported libraries are used probably all of them should use
the error mapping.
Comments welcome.

makes them more convenient to use, since the caller doesn't need to know the
target threads' user thread structure.
* Adjusted the pthread rwlock implementation accordingly.

makes the Desktop work when booted from an iso only CD, but I agree with the
TODO to move those into the filesystem API.

would therefore not always work correctly.
* Minor cleanup, added return register for completeness.
