in VMCache, but, if anything, that makes a -j8 build marginally slower. I
guess busy vnodes are encountered so rarely that the additional overhead for
a more intelligent algorithm isn't really worth it. Reduced the wait time,
though.

* When interrupts are disabled, it is still safe to capture the kernel stack
trace. The respective TODO preceded the introduction of the "kernelOnly"
flag.
* Actually made "kernelOnly" work. The wrong flag was passed to
arch_debug_get_stack_trace() in case it was false, so we never captured
user stack traces.

directory iteration code, a mutex to protect the iteration cookie and one
to protect the cookie list have been introduced.
Overall this reduces the contention of the rootfs lock significantly. The
Haiku image -j8 build gets only marginally faster though.

* Changed the rw_lock_{read,write}_unlock() return values to void. They
returned a value != B_OK only in case of user error and no-one checked them
anyway.
* Optimized rw_lock_read_[un]lock(). They are inline now and as long as
there's no contending write locker, they will only perform an atomic_add().
* Changed the semantics of nested locking after acquiring a write lock: Read
and write locks are counted separately, so read locks no longer implicitly
become write locks. This does e.g. make degrading a write lock to a read
lock by way of read_lock + write_unlock (as used in the VM) actually work.
These changes speed up the -j8 Haiku image build on my machine by a few
percent, but more interestingly they reduce the total kernel time by 25 %.
Apparently we get more contention on other locks, now.

the function shall nevertheless return the length of the string that would
be written, if the buffer were large enough.
Added a touch of C++ while doing that. :-)
* Fixed the instances in boot loader, kernel, and kernel modules where the
wrong semantics were expected. The majority of uses actually.

* Added VMCache::MovePage() and MoveAllPages() to move pages between caches.
* VMAnonymousCache:
- _MergeSwapPages(): Avoid doing anything, if neither cache has swapped out
pages.
- _MergeSwapPages() does now also remove source cache pages that are
shadowed by consumer swap pages. This allows us to call _MergeSwapPages()
before _MergePagesSmallerSource(), save the swap page shadowing check
there and get rid of the vm_page::merge_swap flag. This is an
optimization based on the assumption that usually none or only few pages
are swapped out, so we save a lot of checks.
- Implemented _MergePagesSmallerConsumer() as an alternative to
_MergePagesSmallerSource(). The former is used when the source cache has
more pages than the consumer cache. It iterates over the consumer cache's
pages, moves them to the source and finally moves all pages back to the
consumer. The final move is relatively cheap (though unfortunately we
still have to update all pages' vm_page::cache field), so that overall we
save iterations of the main loop with the more expensive checks.
The optimizations particularly improve the common fork()+exec*() situations.
fork() uses CoW, which is implemented by putting two new empty caches between
the to be copied area and its cache. exec*() destroys one copy of the area,
its cache and thus causes merging of the other new cache with the old cache.
Since this usually happens in a very short time, the old cache does still
contain many pages and the new cache only few. Previously the many pages were
all checked and moved individually. Now we do that for the few pages instead.
A very extreme example of this situation is the Haiku image build. jam has a
huge heap (> 200 MB) and it fork()s+exec*()s for every action to be executed.
Since during the cache merging the cache is locked, any write access to a
heap page causes jam to block until the cache merging is done. Formerly that
took so long that it killed a lot of parallelism in multi-job builds. That
could be observed particularly well when lots of small actions where executed
(like the Link, XRes, Mimeset, SetType, SetVersion combos when building
executables/libraries/add-ons). Those look dramatically better now.
The overall speed improvement for a -j8 image build on my machine is only
about 15%, though.

another. The code originates from vm_copy_on_write_area(). We now generate
the VM cache tracing entries, though.
* count_writable_areas() -> VMCache::CountWritableAreas()
* Added debugger command "cache_stack" which is enabled when VM cache tracing
is enabled. It prints the source caches of a given cache or area at the
time of a specified tracing entry.

- Replaced the "userOnly" parameter by a "flags" parameter, that allows to
specify kernel and userland stack traces individually.
- x86, m68k: Don't always skip the first frame as that prevents the caller
from being able to record its own address.
* capture_tracing_stack_trace(): Replaced the "userOnly" parameter by
"kernelOnly", since one is probably always interested in the kernel stack
trace, but might not want the userland stack trace.
* Added stack trace support for VM cache kernel tracing.

Fixes#5152.
* _get_port_message_info_etc(): Check whether the port still exists and is not
closed and empty in the loop. Though actually it shouldn't be necessary
(same in the other functions), since Wait() would return an error, if the
port was closed/deleted. Well, paranoia... :-)

* IOScheduler now stores its name and gets a unique ID.

IOSchedulers, IORequests, and IOOperations.

as soon as a second thread got into the game: if a thread was notified that
a message is ready, another thread could call read_port() and steal it before
the previous thread could claim it. The "Extensions" menu still doesn't seem
to work, but I would guess that is unrelated.
* The threads of the test app never exited, as read_port() returns the number
of bytes it read, not just a status.

- enqueue_in_run_queue() no longer returns whether rescheduling is supposed
to happen. Instead is sets cpu_ent::invoke_scheduler on the current CPU.
- reschedule() does now handle cpu_ent::invoke_scheduler_if_idle(). No need
to let all callers do that.
* thread_unblock[_locked]() no longer return whether rescheduling is supposed
to happen.
* Got rid of the B_INVOKE_SCHEDULER handling. The interrupt hooks really
can't know, when it makes sense to reschedule or not.
* Introduced scheduler_reschedule_if_necessary[_locked]() functions for
checking+invoking the scheduler.
* Some semaphore functions (e.g. delete_sem()) invoke the scheduler now, if
they wake up anything with greater priority.
I've also tried to add scheduler invocations in the condition variable and
mutex/rw_lock code, but that actually has a negative impact on performance,
probably because it causes too much ping-ponging between threads when
multiple locking primitives are involved.

IORequest::Wait(). Wait() immediately returned when IsFinished() returned
true, but this is the case as soon as the last IOOperation has finished. The
I/O scheduler is not done with the request at this point, though, since it
will still be sitting in at least one of three doubly linked lists. Since the
usual procedure to issue synchronous I/O requests is to create an IORequest
on the stack, pass it to the I/O scheduler, and Wait() on it, Wait()
returning early might cause the IORequest object to be destroyed while it is
still in use, leading to invalid memory access in the I/O scheduler,
corruption of its list structures, as well as later corruption of the issuing
thread's stack.
Related tickets:
* #4431: The request issuing thread returned and already deleted the area the
request was writing to before NotifyFinished() was called.
* #3048, #4883: Caused by the on stack IORequest being overwritten with other
data while being handled by the I/O scheduler thread.
* #4517: Hard to say, but I've seen a such a problem too, after a thread
scheduling related change. An explanation would be a list structure
corruption in the I/O scheduler causing an infinite loop with disabled
interrupts.
* #2845, #3428, #3429: The block notifier/writer is I/O heavy and as such
quite likely to run into the stack corruption issue.

* Moved the CPU selection conde into a separate function.
* Re-added the support for disabling CPUs, which I accidentally removed.
* Got rid of idle CPU tracking. We don't need it anymore -- we iterate
through all CPUs and check the priority of the running thread.
* Added a kind of round-robin component to the CPU selection loop, so that
we pick CPUs more evenly. And indeed, the ProcessController display is
less skewed, now. There doesn't seem to be a measurable performance gain,
though.

* simple_smp scheduler: Rewrote the interesting part of
enqueue_in_run_queue(). It always selects a target CPU for the inserted
thread, now. If no CPU is idle, the CPU running the thread with the lowest
priority is chosen. If the thread running on the target CPU has a lower
priority than the inserted one, it will be asked to reschedule. If that's
the current CPU, we'll return the correct value (wasn't done before at
all).
These changes help reducing latencies. On my machine in an idle system
playing music DebugAnalyzer shows maximum latencies of about 1 us. I still
find that a bit much, but it's several orders of magnitude better than
before. The -j8 Haiku image build time dropped about 10%.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@34635 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
implemented by means of an additional member in cpu_ent.
* Removed thread::keep_scheduled and the related functions. The feature
wasn't used yet and wouldn't have worked as implemented anyway.
* Resurrected an older, SMP aware version of our simple scheduler and made it
the default instead of the affine scheduler. The latter is in no state to
be used yet. It causes enormous latencies (I've seen up to 0.1s) even when
six or seven CPUs were idle at the same time, totally killing parallelism.
That's also the reason why a -j8 build was slower than a -j2. This is no
longer the case. On my machine the -j2 build takes about 10% less time now
and the -j8 build saves another 20%. The latter is not particularly
impressive (compared with Linux), but that seems to be due to lock
contention.

even more reliable in the next commit.

waits for certain events on a given page, NotifyPageEvents() wakes up
waiting threads respectively.
* Used the new feature instead of condition variables for waiting on busy
pages. We save publishing and unpublishing of a condition variable whenever
a page is marked busy. There's only something to do, if there's at least
one thread waiting in the list of the respective cache. The general
assumption is that this is only rarely the case and even if it happens,
there should be only very few threads.
* Added an apparently missing notification in cache_io(). At least I didn't
see the reason for it not being there.
