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
at the moment isn't supported in haiku.

I don't know why (or how) it could work before r19775, though.
This fixes the wrong return code from wait_for_thread() in most cases, and thus,
bug #1011.

* 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.

The "lookup" option has been removed, there is now a "-p" for a physical address, and
"-v" for a virtual address.

process group. This fixes bug #996.
* 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().

ECHILD in case it doesn't. This fixes bug #995.
* Added a TODO item for solving bug #996.
* wait_for_child() did not release the team lock and restore interrupts in case
the child you wanted to wait for didn't exist...
* with child > 0, wait_for_child() will now check if its really a child of yours,
and not just in the same process group.

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 :-)

As an effect, wait_for_thread() sometimes failed with B_BAD_THREAD_ID.

so that this can be done safely.
It was also needed, as it would call vm_cache_release_ref() on failure which requires you
to have no vm_cache_ref locks around (as it might deadlock in this case).

had the cache_ref locked, it also locked two refs in the wrong order (bottom-up);
there was even a TODO item for this...

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).

waiting for in case it was interrupted; but that could easily lead the thread_exit()
function to access invalid memory (and thus, crash the kernel): since we could not
remove our death entry from the thread, we have to make sure the thread (which might
still run even if not in the thread hash anymore) will access our death entry as
long as it is valid. IOW we must wait for the thread to delete its exit semaphore,
even if we were interrupted before.

* Minor cleanup.

(you can still use both commands, but you'll see always the same output).
* The cache_ref's area list now also prints the owner of the area.
* Added "-p" option to "cache"/"cache_ref" that will show the pages of the cache; if you
omit it, it will now only present you a page counter.
* Nicer output for the commands above.
* Added "dl" to display memory in 64 bit values.

* send_signal_etc() (among others) used team::main_thread in an unsafe way; it is
possible for a team to be part of the team list and a group without having
a main thread very early in its creation process.
* Replaced most occurences of team->main_thread->id with team->id since the team
always inherits the ID of its main thread in Haiku for quite some time now.
* Minor cleanup.

to initialize TLS and copy the user-thread-exit stub to that area.
* Minor cleanup.

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.

* 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) :-))

with a lower priority than the current one.
* Further reduced the probability to skip a thread to roughly 4%, that makes around
13 skips per second, and about 40 msecs spend in lower priority threads per second
(with a 3 msec quantum). Might still be too much, but we'll see.

* vm_soft_fault() did not take into account that a cache's source can change while
traversing a cache chain.
* Now, we grab a reference to every cache we get before locking it, and

for an extra check in vm_cache_release_ref() as the cache shouldn't have any areas
or consumers at this point.
* Fixed a locking problem in vm_cache_remove_consumer(): the cache was acquired after
its lock was gone, so someone else might have released in the mean time.
* if the cache's source is to be replaced, we now no longer release its lock after
having merged it.

-Turns out the area removal routine had a massive race condition inside
vm_put_area(). Basically the area was removed from the address space's
area list before the pages were unmapped, so the vm could (and would)
recycle the space before the pages were finally unmapped.
It was completely reproducable on my machine during initialization of a bunch
of storage drivers that were bringing the locked_pool module into and out of
existence, which caused a thread to be spawned and stopped in rapid sucession.
On a dual processor machine, it was possible for the new thread to be started
up while the old one was still shutting down, and the kernel stack of the new
one would get wiped out.
Note, there still is a page ref counting problem with this area removal code.
It doesn't decrement the ref count of the page as it unmaps it. Will have to
figure that out.
