Merged signals-merge branch into trunk with the following changes:
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes #5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes #1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes #6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes #5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes #5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes #7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

now correctly init the thread id in the pthread struct for main thread and threads spawned with spawn_thread(). This definitely helps for #7235.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40665 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Implemented a way to specify additional debug options via MALLOC_DEBUG when
using libroot_debug.so, instead of having to hardcode them in the application
via calling private heap functions.
* The following options are implemented: 'p' turns on paranoid validation,
'w' triggers periodic wall checking every 500ms ('W' does the same, but every
100ms), 'g' to use guard pages (beware, this will dramatically increase
memory usage), and 'r' which forbids reusing of memory, freed memory is never
actually freed.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@40514 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Private libroot locking primitives:
- Reimplemented mutex to use the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- The initializer functions cannot fail anymore -- changed their return type
to void.
- Changed the initializer function semantics to not copy the name by default
anymore (as in the kernel). Also added *_etc() versions of them that take an
additional flags.
- Added static initializer macros.
- Made the mutex (and thus recursive_lock) lock functions non-interruptable.
- Got rid of the "lazy" version. They are no longer needed, since the
initialization of the standard types can be done statically and cannot fail.
* Adjusted libroot, runtime loader, and other code using the private libroot
locking primitives to the new semantics.
* pthreads mutexes and condition variables:
- Reimplemented using the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- Consistently use POSIX error codes.
- Fixed some not quite POSIX compliant behavior.

* This fixes the remaining warnings in exit.c


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@34294 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added __arch_get_caller(). Correctly implemented for x86 only.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28567 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Changed the _kern_exec() and _kern_load_image() syscalls. They expect
a flattened argument/environment buffer now. This simplifies the work
for the kernel a bit, since it can just copy the buffer and check
whether it looks OK instead of messing around with individual strings.
The runtime loader also gets a flattened array.
* Set the maximum size of the arguments/environment buffer to 128 KB.
When more arguments are passed, we fail with a proper error code
(instead of just truncating the arguments as before).
* On exec*() the first argument was silently replaced by the given path
name, which is not correct.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26119 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Moved private passwd/group/shadow passwd limit constants from
<libroot_private.h> to <user_group.h>.
* Added support in the registrar for adding and modifying users.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25040 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Reorganized the passwd and group support: A dedicated thread in the
registrar provides access to the DBs via a port message based
protocol. The functions in libroot just ask the registrar now.
* Added Linuxish shadow passwd support. No putspent() though -- we'll
provide private functions.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25002 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Replaced the dummy implementations of the <grp.h> and <pwd.h>
functions by ones reading /etc/{group,passwd}.
* Added quasi-standard getpwent_r() and getgrent_r().
* Added _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX and _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX sysconf()
constants.
* Moved initgroups() and getgrouplist() definition to grp.cpp. They use
the same backend as the <grp.h> functions.
* Set the permissions of files created by the build system to what they
should be on the image (executables: 755, others: 644). Otherwise only
root could do anything under Haiku.
* Added build system variables HAIKU_ROOT_USER_NAME and
HAIKU_ROOT_USER_REAL_NAME to customize name and real name of Haiku's
root user.
* Added build system rules AddUserToHaikuImage and AddGroupToHaikuImage
for adding additional users and groups (by default only root user and
group and a "users" group are created).
* Adjusted BIND port and coreutils config.h files according to what
features have become available.
* Fixed HAIKU_DOCUMENTATION_OBJECT_DIR definition. Untested, but it used
a wrong variable name before.

_single_threaded should have C linkage. Was for some reason only a
problem with gcc 4.

Patch from kaliber: use path of executable instead of the command. Thanks!
this fixes bug #1773 and #1824. I tested only #1773.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24131 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Works much better when actually allocating the TLS entry...
Now the backend works, Login can list users.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23509 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added a mechanism to retrieve a BMessage with eventual error descriptions
for _kern_load_image().
* Added KMessage to the runtime_loader (a bit hacky, though) - it will use
it to deliver the above mentioned functionality.
* load_dependencies() did return the wrong status code in case a library
was missing; now it returns B_MISSING_LIBRARY.
* load_dependencies() will now try to load all dependencies when a report
message is requested; therefore, all missing libraries are listed.
* Renamed uspace_program_args to user_space_program_args.
* The kernel filled in various members of the user_space_program_args structure
unsafely, ie. was not using user_memcpy().
* Renamed some local variables in team.c to better fit our style guide (ie.
uargs to userArgs).
* Changed Tracker to use the new _kern_load_image() variant on Haiku to retrieve
and report all missing libraries. This fixes bug #1324.
* Adapted kernel_cpp.cpp to the runtime loader as well; the latter will now
compile with _LOADER_MODE defined.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@21715 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added a private call to get the dependencies of a loaded image. This will be used
to determine linkage of libnet.so vs. libsocket.so/libbind.so in the libnetwork.so.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19008 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Made our glue code compatible to BeOS again. IOW executables compiled for Haiku will
now run under BeOS as well (as long as they don't use any functions that are not
available under R5).
The solution is a bit messy, but we have to live with it :-)
The runtime loader now patches the __gRuntimeLoader symbol in libroot.so to point
to its exported structure instead of passing it to the init functions as an
argument.
(Hax0red by axeld and bonefish on stippi's assimilated machine -- resistence is futile)

The real_time_data structure contains an architecture specific
substructure now (that's the only member actually). The system time
offset is therefore accessed via architecture specific accessor
functions.
Note, that this commit breaks the PPC build. Since I want to rename at
least one file I've already changed, I can't avoid that.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15835 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

The "shebang" handler is supposed to parse arguments, too - we now do that.
Also, when the line is too long, E2BIG is returned.
Thanks to Korli who pointed me to this: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~aeb/std/shebang/


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13114 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Apparently, both load_image() and exec*() support running scripts. We do that
now as well.
Also, both functions will now test if the executable exists and is valid; that
way, load_image()/exec*() can catch many errors without having to create a new
team (or erase the current one - an exec*("my invalid app") might now return
with an error).
The runtime linker now exports a function to test executables that is aware
of the search paths, and will also check user permissions upfront.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13113 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

The heap is now initialized by libroot_init.c::initialize_before(), so
that we no longer need an initialize_after().
Put the architecture dependent hoard functions into the BPrivate namespace
as well. Minor cleanup.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@11956 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

to be defined in the source files anymore.
