Ingo Weinhold 3cd2094396 * Added new debug feature (DEBUG_PAGE_ACCESS) to detect invalid concurrent
access to a vm_page. It is basically an atomically accessed thread ID field
  in the vm_page structure, which is explicitly set by macros marking the
  critical sections. As a first positive effect I had to review quite a bit of
  code and found several issues.
* Added several TODOs and comments. Some harmless ones, but also a few
  troublesome ones in vm.cpp regarding page unmapping.
* file_cache: PrecacheIO::Prepare()/read_into_cache: Removed superfluous
  vm_page_allocate_page() return value checks. It cannot fail anymore.
* Removed the heavily contended "pages" lock. We use different policies now:
  - sModifiedTemporaryPages is accessed atomically.
  - sPageDeficitLock and sFreePageCondition are protected by a new mutex.
  - The page queues have individual locks (mutexes).
  - Renamed set_page_state_nolock() to set_page_state(). Unless the caller says
    otherwise, it does now lock the affected pages queues itself. Also changed
    the return value to void -- we panic() anyway.
* set_page_state(): Add free/clear pages to the beginning of their respective
  queues as this is more cache-friendly.
* Pages with the states PAGE_STATE_WIRED or PAGE_STATE_UNUSED are no longer
  in any queue. They were in the "active" queue, but there's no good reason
  to have them there. In case we decide to let the page daemon work the queues
  (like FreeBSD) they would just be in the way.
* Pulled the common part of vm_page_allocate_page_run[_no_base]() into a helper
  function. Also fixed a bug I introduced previously: The functions must not
  vm_page_unreserve_pages() on success, since they remove the pages from the
  free/clear queue without decrementing sUnreservedFreePages.
* vm_page_set_state(): Changed return type to void. The function cannot really
  fail and no-one was checking it anyway.
* vm_page_free(), vm_page_set_state(): Added assertion: The page must not be
  free/clear before. This is implied by the policy that no-one is allowed to
  access free/clear pages without holding the respective queue's lock, which is
  not the case at this point. This found the bug fixed in r34912.
* vm_page_requeue(): Added general assertions. panic() when requeuing of
  free/clear pages is requested. Same reason as above.
* vm_clone_area(), B_FULL_LOCK case: Don't map busy pages. The implementation is
  still not correct, though.

My usual -j8 Haiku build test runs another 10% faster, now. The total kernel
time drops about 18%. As hoped the new locks have only a fraction of the old
"pages" lock contention. Other locks lead the "most wanted list" now.

To customize the settings defined in these headers, create a folder "user_config_headers" in the "build" folder and copy the headers you want to modify into that folder. Your custom headers will be ignored by SVN and the build system will automatically use them instead of the original ones. But be aware that when changes are commited to the files in "config_headers", you will have to apply them to your custom headers manually.
