IO-APIC can be easily enabled to test it on various configurations. Note that
the previous default opt-out didn't work because the safemode options would not
be touched at all when not actually entering the boot menu.
Once IO-APIC is more broadly tested this can be removed again and the opt-out
option reenabled.

* _kern_[sg]et_timezone() now accepts/passes out the timezone name, too
* adjust Time preflet and clockconfig to pass the timezone name into the kernel
when calling _kern_set_timezone()
* ajust implementation of tzset() to fetch the timezone name from the kernel
via _kern_get_timezone() instead of reading 'libroot_timezone_info'
* the Time preflet no longer writes 'libroot_timezone_info'

* dropped DaylightSavingTime from real_time_clock code in kernel, it was
never really being used for what it meant (and just being referred to by
gettimeofday(), which put a different meaning to it
* adjusted the syscalls get_timezone() & set_timezone() as well as their callers
accordingly
* got rid of get_rtc_info() and rtc_info struct in kernel, as it was only
being referred to by the FAT add-on and that one (like gettimeofday()) put a
different meaning to tz_minuteswest. Added a comment to FAT's util.c
showing a possible solution, should the hardcoded GMT timezone pose a problem.
* fixed declaration of gettimeofday() to match POSIX base specs, issue 7
* changed implementation of gettimeofday() to not bother trying to fill struct
timezone - it was using wrong values before, anyway.

* renamed syscalls _kern_[gs]et_tzfilename
to _kern_[gs]et_real_time_clock_is_gmt, as the filename part is no longer
relevant (and the two corresponding parameters were removed)
* C++-ified and reworked clockconfig to use the info from 'Time settings'
to setup the timezone info during boot
* removed invocation of _kern_get_tzfilename() from tzset(), as the syscall
no longer exists and tzset() is currently broken anyway
* adjusted the Time preflet to use the renamed syscall when getting/setting
the RTC info

the constraint can be expressed more precisely. ATM B_32_BIT_FULL_LOCK is
implemented as B_32_BIT_CONTIGUOUS when B_HAIKU_PHYSICAL_BITS > 32, though.

causes the memory beyond 4 GB to be ignored.

of consistency.
* Moved the B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA flag from B_KERNEL_AREA_FLAGS to
B_USER_AREA_FLAGS, since we really allow it to be passed from userland.
* Most VM syscalls check the provided protection against B_USER_AREA_FLAGS
instead of B_USER_PROTECTION, now. This way they allow for
B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA as well.
* _user_map_file(), _user_set_memory_protection(): Check the protection like
the other syscalls do and use fix_protection() instead of doing that
manually.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@36572 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Implemented a tiny bit more sophisticated version of
estimate_max_scheduling_latency() that uses a syscall that lets the scheduler
decide.

locks.
* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
(it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
operations, though.

* Implemented renameat(), faccessat(), fchownat(), fchmodat(), and mkfifoat().
* Added stub for mknodat().
* The kernel backend for faccessat() does not yet differentiate between
effective and real user/group IDs, though.
* Removed B_ENABLE_INCOMPLETE_POSIX_AT_SUPPORT, as we now support everything
(more or less). This also closes ticket #4928.

* When DEBUG_SPINLOCK_LATENCIES is 1, the system will panic if any spinlock is
held longer than DEBUG_LATENCY micro seconds (currently 200). If your system
doesn't boot anymore, a new safemode setting can disable the panic.
* Besides some problems during boot when the MTRRs are set up, 200 usecs work
fine here if all debug output is turned off (the output stuff is definitely
problematic, though I don't have a good idea on how to improve upon it a lot).
* Renamed the formerly BeOS compatible safemode settings to look better; there
is no need to be compatible there.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@33953 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added new header headers/private/system/disk_device_types.h, which defines
the <DiskDeviceTypes.h> constants as macros and which can be used where the
constants cannot be used. The constants are defined using the macros, so now
there's only one place where the string literals should be specified.
* Use the macros in the partitioning systems. I was too lazy to also adjust the
file systems -- most of them seem to hard-code the string literal yet.

each attribute access needed 3 syscalls, now only one as it should.
* 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.

* Since we now use UserStringParameter, this fixes the missing null termination
of the parameter string, and thus bug #4045.
* Removed UserMemoryParameter, as it's no longer in use.
* Adjusted syscalls accordingly.

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().

and added a _kern_unreserve_address_range() as well.
* The runtime loader now reserves the space needed for all its areas first
to make sure there is enough space left for all areas of a single image.
* This also fixes the final part of bug #4008.
* Minor cleanup.

the first part of making the runtime loader behave itself; it should already
make Clockwerk run okay with any number of translators (even if not all of
them will work yet).

* Generalized address checks. The debugger can now also read the commpage.
* Added new syscall _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() to get the CPU state of a
not running thread. Introduced arch_get_thread_debug_cpu_state() for that
purpose, which is only implemented for x86 ATM (uses the new
i386_get_thread_user_iframe()).
* Don't allow a debugger to change a thread's "esp" anymore. That's the esp
register in the kernel. "user_esp" can still be changed.
* Generally set RF (resume flag) in eflags in interrupt handlers, not only
after a instruction breakpoint debug exception. This should prevent
breakpoints from being triggered more than once (e.g. when the breakpoint is
on an instruction that can cause a page fault). I still saw those with bdb
in VMware, but that might be a VMware bug.
