the thread debug flags B_THREAD_DEBUG_STOP and
B_THREAD_DEBUG_NOTIFY_SINGLE_STEP (new) and lets the thread continue. Before
leaving the kernel the thread is stopped and a single-step notification is
sent. Fixes#3487.

notably:
- in hpet_clear_hardware_timer() we cleared the HPET_CONF_TIMER_INT_ENABLE
flag, and never set it back anymore (now we do, in hpet_set_hardware_timer())
- the incorrect interrupt configuration (although it shouldn't matter in legacy mode).
Also test the HPET counter before trying to use it.
Improved debug information.
HPET timers are still at priority 0, since I coulnd't yet test on other

setting esp at the beginning of x86_sysenter(). More importantly when
entering it in single-step mode, this no longer causes a double fault

so that we still get a (continuable) panic().

they were never freed unless the cache was destroyed (I just wondered why
my system would bury >1G in the magazines).
* Made the magazine capacity variable per cache, ie. for larger objects, it's
not a good idea to have 64*CPU buffers lying around in the worst case.
* Furthermore, the create_object_cache_etc()/object_depot_init() now have
arguments for the magazine capacity as well as the maximum number of full
unused magazines.
* By default, you might want to initialize both to zero, as then some hopefully
usable defaults are computed. Otherwise (the only current example is the
vm_page_mapping cache) you can just put in the values you'd want there.
The page mapping cache uses larger values, as its objects are usually
allocated and deleted in larger chunks.

needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
- Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
- Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
- Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
RAM ranges.
- If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
#5383.
Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.

therefore does not unlock anymore while iterating over the transactions.
This gave other threads the opportunity to finish a transaction, causing
bug #5412. Also, the BlockWriter will now always close transactions on its
own, and you need to pass the transaction hash iterator to Add().
* Also, transactions that contain blocks that are currently written back will
be ignored by the block writer, as well as cache_sync_transaction(). This
fixes bug #5415.
* Improved error handling if BlockWriter fails to write back blocks. Most
notably, they are no longer left busy_writing, and the functions calling
it do proper error reporting (besides block_cache_discard() that does not
return any erro code; I've added a TODO note there for now).
* The BlockWriter now starts with a larger array once it has to allocate one.
* One can now limit the number of blocks that go into a BlockWriter. This is
used by the block writer thread, that shouldn't always write back everything
every two seconds.
* Also, the fixed array is larger now (leaving enough space such that the
block writer/notifier does not need to allocate anything).
* And finally, if allocating the array fails, the BlockWriter falls back to the
synchronous write back used previously. IOW it will never write back less
blocks than you ask for.
* Added static BlockWriter::WriteBlock() method replacing write_cached_block().
* Forgot to rename block_cache::busy_count to busy_reading_count.

particular it wouldn't set the flag when writing something to a page, but
only move it to the modified queue. Since mapping the page would move it to
another queue, the information that the page was modified would be lost and
it would never be written to disk. Was well reproducible with a Haiku image
build and limited amount of memory.

* full_scan_inactive_pages(): Fixed syntactical glitch (missing "else").
Affected only the active paging mode and was relatively harmless. The worst
case would be that an inactive page would be moved to the cached queue
although its usage_count hadn't dropped to 0 yet, thus freeing it before
pages that deserved it more.
* move_page_to_active_or_inactive_queue():
- Was ignoring the page's modified flag, thus potentially moving a modified
page to the cached queue. That could happen only in rare cases though,
like when the page was still mmap()ped while being written and modified and
unmapped before being done.
- No longer move the page to the inactive queue, even if its usage count is 0.
In idle mode the page daemon doesn't look at inactive pages, so the page's
stats wouldn't be updated anymore.
- Renamed to move_page_to_appropriate_queue().

* Use the same criterion when to write back temporary pages as the page daemon.
* Move wired and temporary pages that shall not be written back to the active or
inactive queue so they don't get stuck in the modified queue and potentially
cause the page writer to run permanently without actually making progress
(#5382).
page writing implementation:
* If writing back a temporary page failed, move it back to the inactive or
active queue, so it doesn't get stuck in the modified queue. If active paging
continues, it might find its way back to the modified queue in the next
iteration, but that improves the situation a bit at least. Particularly with
the port heap pages not really being swappable ATM.
* Never dequeue pages from the modified queue. We mark them busy, so the page
writer will skip them anyway. This allows others to play with the page to some
extend (at least allowing to move it between the queues). This fixes#5404.
* Removed PageWriteWrapper::ClearModifiedFlag(). We clear the modified flag in
PageWriteWrapper::SetTo(), now, so that the page writer doesn't need to do
that explicitly either.

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.

it has been unmapped. This way modified pages could end up in the "cached"
queue without having been written back. That would be a good explanation for
#5374 (partially wrong file contents) -- as soon as such a page was freed,
the invalid on-disk contents would become visible.

* 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.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35394 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added vm_clear_page_mapping_accessed_flags() and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings_if_unaccessed(), which combine the functionality
of vm_test_map_activation(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings(), thus saving lots of calls to translation map
methods. The backend is the new method
VMTranslationMap::ClearAccessedAndModified().
* Started to make use of the cached page queue and changed the meaning of the
other non-free queues slightly:
- Active queue: Contains mapped pages that have been used recently.
- Inactive queue: Contains mapped pages that have not been used recently. Also
contains unmapped temporary pages.
- Modified queue: Contains unmapped modified pages.
- Cached queue: Contains unmapped unmodified pages (LRU sorted).
Unless we're actually low on memory and actively do paging, modified and
cached queues only contain non-temporary pages. Cached pages are considered
quasi free. They still belong to a cache, but since they are unmodified and
unmapped, they can be freed immediately. And this is what
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages() do now when there are no more actually free
pages at hand. Essentially this means that pages storing cached file data,
unless mmap()ped, no longer are considered used and don't contribute to page
pressure. Paging will not happen as long there are enough free + cached pages
available.
* Reimplemented the page daemon. It no longer scans all pages, but instead works
the page queues. As long as the free pages situation is harmless, it only
iterates through the active queue and deactivates pages that have not been
used recently. When paging occurs it additionally scans the inactive queue and
frees pages that have not been used recently.
* Changed the page reservation/allocation interface:
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages(), vm_page_unreserve_pages(), and
vm_page_allocate_page() now take a vm_page_reservation structure pointer.
The reservation functions initialize the structure -- currently consisting
only of a count member for the number of still reserved pages.
vm_page_allocate_page() decrements the count and vm_page_unreserve_pages()
unreserves the remaining pages (if any). Advantages are that reservation/
unreservation mismatches cannot occur anymore, that vm_page_allocate_page()
can verify that the caller has indeed a reserved page left, and that there's
no unnecessary pressure on the free page pool anymore. The only disadvantage
is that the vm_page_reservation object needs to be passed around a bit.
* Reworked the page reservation implementation:
- Got rid of sSystemReservedPages and sPageDeficit. Instead
sUnreservedFreePages now actually contains the number of free pages that
have not yet been reserved (it cannot become negative anymore) and the new
sUnsatisfiedPageReservations contains the number of pages that are still
needed for reservation.
- Threads waiting for reservations do now add themselves to a waiter queue,
which is ordered by descending priority (VM priority and thread priority).
High priority waiters are served first when pages become available.
Fixes#5328.
* cache_prefetch_vnode(): Would reserve one less page than allocated later, if
the size wasn't page aligned.

that the page isn't unnecessarily put in the wrong page queue first -- a
flag whether the page should be cleared, and one to indicate whether the
page should be marked busy.

and even move it between states while being marked busy.
* Removed the vm_page::is_dummy flag. Instead we mark marker pages busy, which
in all cases has the same effect. Introduced a vm_page_is_dummy() that can
still check whether a given page is a dummy page.
* vm_page_unreserve_pages(): Before adding to the system reserve make sure
sUnreservedFreePages is non-negative. Otherwise we'd make nonexisting pages
available for allocation. steal_pages() still has the same problem and it
can't be solved that easily.
* map_page(): No longer changes the page state/mark the page unbusy. That's the
caller's responsibility.

memory and page reservation functions have a new "priority" parameter that
indicates how deep the function may tap into that reserve. The currently
existing priority levels are "user", "system", and "VIP". The idea is that
user programs should never be able to cause a state that gets the kernel into
trouble due to heavy battling for memory. The "VIP" level (not really used
yet) is intended for allocations that are required to free memory eventually
(in the page writer). More levels are thinkable in the future, like "user real
time" or "user system server".
* Added "priority" parameters to several VMCache methods.
* Replaced the map_backing_store() "unmapAddressRange" parameter by a "flags"
parameter.
* Added area creation flag CREATE_AREA_PRIORITY_VIP and slab allocator flag
CACHE_PRIORITY_VIP indicating the importance of the request.
* Changed most code to pass the right priorities/flags.
These changes already significantly improve the behavior in low memory
situations. I've tested a bit with 64 MB (virtual) RAM and, while not
particularly fast and responsive, the system remains at least usable under high
memory pressure.

* _FreeArea(): Copy and paste bug: The meta chunks of the to be freed area
would be added to the free lists instead of being removed from them. This
would corrupt the lists and also lead to all kinds of misuse of meta chunks.
object caches:
* Implemented CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE. It is no longer set for all small object
caches, but the block allocator sets it on all power of two size caches.
* object_cache_reserve_internal(): Detect recursion and don't wait in such a
case. The function could deadlock itself, since
HashedObjectCache::CreateSlab() does allocate memory, thus potentially
reentering.
* object_cache_low_memory():
- I missed some returns when reworking that one in r35254, so the function
might stop early and also leave the cache in maintenance mode, which would
cause it to be ignored by object cache resizer and low memory handler from
that point on.
- Since ReturnSlab() potentially unlocks, the conditions weren't quite correct
and too many slabs could be freed.
- Simplified things a bit.
* object_cache_alloc(): Since object_cache_reserve_internal() does potentially
unlock the cache, the situation might have changed and their might not be an
empty slab available, but a partial one. The function would crash.
* Renamed the object cache tracing variable to SLAB_OBJECT_CACHE_TRACING.
* Renamed debugger command "cache_info" to "slab_cache" to avoid confusion with
the VMCache commands.
* ObjectCache::usage was not maintained anymore since I introduced the
MemoryManager. object_cache_get_usage() would thus always return 0 and the
block cache would not be considered cached memory. This was only of
informational relevance, though.
slab allocator misc.:
* Disable the object depots of block allocator caches for object sizes > 2 KB.
Allocations of those sizes aren't so common that the object depots yield any
benefit.
* The slab allocator is now fully self-sufficient. It allocates its bootstrap
memory from the MemoryManager, and the hash tables for HashedObjectCaches use
the block allocator instead of the heap, now.
* Added option to use the slab allocator for malloc() and friends
(USE_SLAB_ALLOCATOR_FOR_MALLOC). Currently disabled. Works in principle and
has virtually no lock contention. Handling for low memory situations is yet
missing, though.
* Improved the output of some debugger commands.

VMCacheRef object, since that can fail, in which case the subsequently called
Delete() would use uninitialized pointers.

to add it back to its partial list or it would be leaked.

* Does now keep one or two empty areas around, so that even in case of
CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE memory can be provided as long as pages are
available. The object cache maintainer thread is used to asynchronously
allocate/delete the free areas.
* Added new debugger commands "slab_meta_chunk[s]" and improved the existing
ones.
* Moved Area::chunks to MetaChunk.
* Removed unused _AllocationArea() "chunkSize" parameter.
* Fixed serious bug in _FreeChunk(): Empty meta chunks were not removed from
the partial chunk lists and could thus be used twice.

adding the cache to the maintenance queue. Not so important but more correct.

low resource handler functions. Particularly fixed the race conditions
between those and delete_object_cache().

a certain chunk size, the areas are split into meta chunks (which are as
large as a large chunk) each of which can be a used independently for chunks
of a certain size. This reduces the vulnerablity to fragmentation, so that we
need fewer areas overall.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35250 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE. If the former is given, the slab memory manager
does not wait when reserving memory or pages. The latter prevents area
operations. The new flags add a bit of flexibility. E.g. when allocating page
mapping objects for userland areas CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY is sufficient,
i.e. the allocation will succeed as long as pages are available.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35246 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
allocate a page mapping. In that case we do at least have to mark the page
not busy again. Furthermore we enforce the minimum page mappings object cache
reserve, so we'll have more luck on the next fault.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35241 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Implemented a more elaborated raw memory allocation backend (MemoryManager).
We allocate 8 MB areas whose pages we allocate and map when needed. An area is
divided into equally-sized chunks which form the basic units of allocation. We
have areas with three possible chunk sizes (small, medium, large), which is
basically what the ObjectCache implementations were using anyway.
* Added "uint32 flags" parameter to several of the slab allocator's object
cache and object depot functions. E.g. object_depot_store() potentially wants
to allocate memory for a magazine. But also in pure freeing functions it
might eventually become useful to have those flags, since they could end up
deleting an area, which might not be allowable in all situations. We should
introduce specific flags to indicate that.
* Reworked the block allocator. Since the MemoryManager allocates block-aligned
areas, maintains a hash table for lookup, and maps chunks to object caches,
we can quickly find out which object cache a to be freed allocation belongs
to and thus don't need the boundary tags anymore.
* Reworked the slab boot strap process. We allocate from the initial area only
when really necessary, i.e. when the object cache for the respective
allocation size has not been created yet. A single page is thus sufficient.
other:
* vm_allocate_early(): Added boolean "blockAlign" parameter. If true, the
semantics is the same as for B_ANY_KERNEL_BLOCK_ADDRESS.
* Use an object cache for page mappings. This significantly reduces the
contention on the heap bin locks.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35232 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
the CACHE_DONT_SLEEP flag to work for real, since otherwise the thread could
block on the mutex held by a thread allocating memory. We use two condition
variables to prevent multiple threads from allocating slabs at the same time.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35206 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Changed the semantics of object_cache_reserve_internal(). Now it makes sure
the given number of objects are free. As a side effect this also changes
the semantics of object_cache_reserve() similarly, though I have trouble
seeing the purpose of the function in the first place.

one for each per CPU store):
* The depot is now protected by a R/W lock combined with a spinlock. It is
required to either hold read lock + spinlock or just the write lock.
* When accessing the per CPU stores we only need to acquire the read lock
and disable interrupts. When switching magazines with the depot we
additionally get the spinlock.
* When allocating a new magazine we do completely unlock.

* The threads beside the main thread are killed earlier now (in the new
team_shutdown_team()), before removing the team from the team hash and from
its process group. This fixes#5296.
* Use a condition variable instead of a semaphore to wait for the non-main
threads to die. We notify the condition right after a thread has left the
team. The semaphore was released by the undertaker.

function is used only in one place and the missing locking would be harmless
if it weren't for the per translation map physical page mapper. It is used to
map the page table for the lookup. Concurrent access could corrupt its data
structures, or, just as bad, the unlocked Query() could remap the page table
used by a concurrent Map() or Unmap(), which would then manipulate the
wrong page table.
Potentially messing up kernel memory, this bug could obviously cause all
kinds of kernel crashes and weird behavior. E.g. ticket #5138 is a likely
candidate, as are triple faults.

idea, since that would potentially add the object back to the object store
or lead to infinite recursion. When the object cache is destroyed it most
likely led to infinite loops, because the object would alternately be
removed from and added back to the object store.
* delete_object_cache(): Lock after destroying the object store, so we don't
deadlock.
* Use the object store on SMP machines. It seems to work, though I only
tested with the network stack and that seems to have problems of its own.

a set of heaps for each CPU.

things a bit.
* Some style cleanup.
* The object depot does now have a cookie that will be passed to the return
hook.
* Fixed object_cache_return_object_wrapper() using the new cookie.

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.

VMCacheRef object which points to the cache. This allows to optimize
VMCache::MoveAllPages(), since it no longer needs to iterate over all pages
to adjust their cache pointer. It can simple swap the cache refs of the two
caches instead.
Reduces the total -j8 Haiku image build time only marginally. The kernel time
drops almost 10%, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35155 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added "bool consumerLocked" parameter to VMCache::Unlock() and
ReleaseRefAndUnlock(). Since Unlock() may cause the cache to be merged with
a consumer cache, the flag is needed to prevent a deadlock in case the
caller still holds a lock to the consumer. Hasn't been a problem yet, since
that situation never occurred.
* VMCacheChainLocker: Reversed unlocking order to bottom-up. The other
direction could cause a deadlock in case caches would be merged, since the
locking order would be reversed. The way VMCacheChainLocker was used this
didn't happen, though.
* fault_get_page(): While copying a page from a lower cache to the top cache,
we do now unlock all caches but the top one, so we don't unnecessarily
kill concurrency.

* Reorganized the code for [un]mapping pages:
- Added new VMTranslationMap::Unmap{Area,Page[s]}() which essentially do what
vm_unmap_page[s]() did before, just in the architecture specific code, which
allows for specific optimizations. UnmapArea() is for the special case that
the complete area is unmapped. Particularly in case the address space is
deleted, some work can be saved. Several TODOs could be slain.
- Since they are only used within vm.cpp vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_page[s]()
are now static and have lost their prefix (and the "preserveModified"
parameter).
* Added VMTranslationMap::Protect{Page,Area}(). They are just inline wrappers
for Protect().
* X86VMTranslationMap::Protect(): Make sure not to accidentally clear the
accessed/dirty flags.
* X86VMTranslationMap::Unmap()/Protect(): Make page table skipping actually
work. It was only skipping to the next page.
* Adjusted the PPC code to at least compile.
No measurable effect for the -j8 Haiku image build time, though the kernel time
drops minimally.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35089 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* relocated Trash dirs to volume roots by modifying find_directory() to report the trash location as volume/Trash.
* FSUtils no longer creates /home/Desktop on every volume.
* TrashWatcher now keeps icons in sync on all volumes.
* Simplified FSGetDeskDir since it no longer has to worry about getting the desk directory on any volume other than the root.
* Relocated trash context menu logic to BContainerWindow so it can also be used at the volume roots.
* DesktopPoseView now creates a virtual Trash pose representing the trash contents as before.
* Corrected typo: Model::WriteAttrKillForegin() -> Model::WriteAttrKillForeign().
Closes ticket #5245.

* Pulled the physical page mapping functions out of vm_translation_map into
a new interface VMPhysicalPageMapper.
* Renamed vm_translation_map to VMTranslationMap and made it a proper C++
class. The functions in the operations vector have become methods.
* Added class GenericVMPhysicalPageMapper implementing VMPhysicalPageMapper
as far as possible (without actually writing new code).
* Adjusted the x86 and the PPC specifics accordingly (untested for the
latter). For the other architectures the build is, I'm afraid, seriously
broken.
The next steps will modify and extend the VMTranslationMap interface, so that
it will be possible to fix the bugs in vm_unmap_page[s]() and employ
architecture specific optimizations.

situations:
* When mapping the page the page table entry should not have been marked
"present" before, i.e. it would not have been cached anyway.
* When the page table entry's accessed flag wasn't set, the entry hadn't been
cached either.
Speeds up the -j8 Haiku image build only minimally, but the total kernel time
drops about 9%.

addresses. This worked fine, but only because the x86 page mapping code
didn't mind.

* Removed the page_{table,directory}_entry structures. The bit fields are
nice in principle, but modifying individual flags this way is inherently
non-atomic and we need atomicity in some situations.
* Use atomic operations in protect_tmap(), clear_flags_tmap(), and others.
* Aligned the query_tmap_interrupt() semantics with that of query_tmap().
