Revert "Finally applying the patch that adds support to add path information to stat and attr monitor messages."

Will recommit it when I have more time to work on the todos.

This reverts commit 610ef6c00781522022455c0cbf34495420b2db1d.

Finally applying the patch that adds support to add path information to stat and attr monitor messages.
* for all open FD the path information is stored in a map
* this info is used to fill the missing fields in the node monitor

Entry cache:
* Moved hash computations out of the critical sections.
* Replaced the LRU entry queue by an array of entry "generations", each
containing a sparse array of entries of that generation. Whenever a
generation is full, we clear the oldest generation and continue with that
one. The main advantage of this algorithm is that entry cache's mutex could
be replaced by an r/w lock, that most of the time only has to be read
locked in Lookup(). This does dramatically decrease contention of that
lock.

The total -j8 Haiku image build speedup is marginal, but the kernel time
drops about 7% (now being smaller than the real time).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@34950 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Moved the vnode structure (to by Vnode class at some time in the future) into
its own header/source files.
* Changed vnode's bit fields to a single, atomically changeable int32 using
flags instead. Added respective accessor methods.
* Added a per-vnode mutex-like lock, which uses 2 bits of the structure and
32 global "buckets" which are used for waiter lists for the vnode locks.
* Reorganized the VFS locking a bit:
Renamed sVnodeMutex to sVnodeLock and made it an r/w lock. In most situations
it is now only read-locked to reduce its contention. The per-vnode locks guard
the fields of the vnode structure and the newly introduced sUnusedVnodesLock
has taken over the job to guard the unused vnodes list.

The main intent of the changes was to reduce the contention of the sVnodeMutex,
which was partially successful. In my standard -j8 Haiku image build test the
new sUnusedVnodesLock took over about a fourth of the former sVnodeMutex
contention, but the sVnodeLock and the vnode locks have virtually no contention
to speak of, now. A lot of contention migrated to the unrelated "pages" mutex
(another bottleneck). The overall build time dropped about 10 %.

Make the overlay filesystem a standalone module. It can now be mounted as an
additional layer by supplying "-t <actualFileSystem>:overlay" to a mount command.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29201 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Add an additional argument to get_vnode() that gets the fs_vnode_ops of the
node. That is needed for a layered filesystem to be able to construct a full
fs_vnode out of a volume/inode pair.
* Adapt places where get_vnode is used. Sadly this is a C API and we can't just
use a default NULL for that argument.
* Introduce a flag B_VNODE_WANTS_OVERLAY_SUB_NODE that can be returned in the
flags field of a fs get_vnode call. A filesystem can use this flag to indicate
that it doesn't support the full set of fs features (attributes, write support)
and it'd like to have unsupported calls emulated by an overlay sub node.
* Add a perliminary overlay filesystem that emulates file attributes using files
on a filesystem where attributes aren't supported. It does currently only
support reading attributes/attribute directories though. All other calls are
just passed through to the super filesystem.
* Adjust places where a HAS_FS_CALL() is taken as a guarantee that the operation
is supported. For the overlay filesystem we may later return a B_UNSUPPORTED,
so make sure that in that case proper fallback options are taken.
* Make the iso9660 filesystem request overlay sub nodes. This can be fine tuned
later to only trigger where there are features on a CD that need emulation
at all.

If you happened to know the attribute file format and location you could build
an iso with read-only attribute support now. Note that this won't be enough to
get a bootable iso-only image as the query and index support is yet missing.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29177 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added FS interface hooks io() and cancel_io(). The former is supposed
to provide asynchrounous (or only synchronous, if asynchronous is not
supported) I/O request support. It will eventually replace
{read,write}_pages(). None of the FS implementations implement them
yet.
* Implemented some support functions for request-based I/O. File system
implementations can use do_fd_io() which passes an I/O request to the
layer responsible for a given FD, and do_iterative_fd_io(), which
translates a request for a file to subrequests for the underlying
device and passes them on. Both fall back to synchrounous processing
when the io() hook is not supported.
Furthermore added vfs_synchronous_io() which should be handy for the
devfs to perform io_requests synchronously for devices that don't
support the io() hook.

bonefish + axeld:
* Moved the old I/O scheduler code into the device manager, and replaced its
contents completely :-)
* Implemented the DMA and I/O requests/scheduler framework - for now in C++
only. It's a work in progress and not used anywhere yet.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26488 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Removed -Wno-unused from all KernelMergeObjects in kernel Jamfiles.
* Fixed most of the warnings resulting from that by removing actually not used
variables or moving declaration into the #IF. Left unused functions there
though, as I wouldn't know if they are supposed to be used again.
* Fixed two statements with no effect (clamping to MAX_ANCILLARY_DATA_LEN in
socket.cpp and unsetting fCounterSem in MessagingService.cpp).
* Some style cleanups.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26253 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Integration of the new driver architecture.
* Moved devfs from fs/ to device_manager/, and separated the legacy driver
support from it.
* Removed fast_log module.
* There are a couple of (temporary) regressions, though:
- legacy SATA and ISA IDE support is disabled, the drivers haven't been
ported yet.
- The not yet used ATA bus manager hasn't been ported yet, either.
- AHCI changes have not been tested.
- the listdev command has been removed from the build (as it currently
doesn't work anymore).
- device manager generated IDs currently are not freed anymore when a device
node is removed.
- generic drivers can't yet use the new driver architecture.
- simple busses that do not support device types won't work yet.
- legacy driver publishing/unpublishing (ie. what USB needs) has not been
tested, and may be broken.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25662 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Changed the way the socket functions work:
- The net_stack driver is no longer used. Instead we have a kernel
module which is directly used by syscall implementations in the
kernel. I.e. we no longer tunnel those functions through ioctls, but
have normal syscalls.
- Removed the superfluous net starter module.
- Implemented the FDTYPE_SOCKET type file_descriptors, that is sockets
are no longer vnode based.
- Adjusted libnetwork (the socket function implementations)
accordingly.
- Adjusted netstat accordingly.
* Socket module:
- Implemented socketpair().
- Added "kernel" parameter to the control hook. Quite a few more hooks
would actually need the parameter, but I didn't change those yet,
since that would probably also require changes to the protocol
module interface.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24908 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Renamed pipefs.cpp to fifo.cpp.
* Removed the pipefs functionality. We only need to support FIFO nodes.
* Renamed the remaining pipefs_*() functions to fifo_*().


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24834 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* rootfs.c -> rootfs.cpp
* Made the kernel rootfs reusable by the FS Shell and removed the
copy in the FS Shell sources.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22436 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Renamed fs/vfs_select.cpp to wait_for_objects.cpp and got rid of
vfs_select.h, respectively moved most of it into the new kernel
private header wait_for_objects.h.
* Added new experimental API functions wait_for_objects[_etc](). They
work pretty much like poll(), but also for semaphores, ports, and
threads.
* Removed the "ref" parameter from notify_select_events() and the
select_sync_pool functions as well as from fd_ops::fd_[de]select(). It
is no longer needed. The FS interface select() hook still has it,
though -- the VFS will always pass 0.
* de]select_fd() take a select_info* instead of a select_sync* + ref
pair, now. Added respective functions for semaphores, ports, and
threads.



git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22416 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* fd.c -> fd.cpp
* Reworked the select support:
- The io_context additionally stores a table of lists of select_infos,
which enables it to deselect events of a pending select() when
closing a FD. This prevents a race condition potentially causing a
write to stale memory.
- The opaque selectsync* passed to FSs is now actually a select_info*.
This was necessary, since the FDs deselect() hook (unlike the
select() hook) doesn't take a "ref" argument and deselecting a
single info (e.g. caused by a premature close()) was not possible.
The select() hook's "ref" argument has become superfluous.
- It should now be relatively easy to implement a poll_on_steroids()
that can also wait for objects other than FDs (e.g. semaphores,
ports, threads etc.).
* Set/reset the signal mask in common_select(). This makes pselect()
work as required.
* Reorganized vfs_resize_fd_table().

bonefish+axeld:
* Simplified the notification framework: removed the updater stuff completely;
it was only there to account for some peculiarities of the node monitor which
we now solved differently.
* NotificationListener no longer includes a doubly linked list link for convenience;
it might want to listen to more than just one service.
* NotificationService cannot have an abstract destructor.
* Changed the _user_stop_watching() syscall to mirror the Be API; ie. it's no
longer possible to just remove some flags separately, just to stop listening
completely.
* Adapted the node monitor implementation to live in the NodeMonitorService class
that uses the new notification framework.
* Removed the public kernel node monitor API - it wasn't useful that way since you
couldn't do a lot with the KMessage in the kernel without using a private API.
Now you will have to use the (private) notification manager to use the node monitor
from inside the kernel. At a later point, we might introduce a public API for that,
too.

[Sorry, couldn't split this one up any further.]
* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.

Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

* Removed write_link from the FS module interface. Adjusted all FS
add-ons accordingly and removed the syscall.
* Removed send_notification().
* Reimplemented notify_listener(). It used the unimplemented
send_notification(). Now it has a chance to work. Note that
notify_listener() is obsolete. I would already have removed it, if
there weren't lots of FS implementations still using it (Hint!).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20329 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Introduced new build system variables
{HAIKU,HOST,TARGET}_KERNEL_PIC_{CC,LINK}FLAGS which define the
compiler/linker flags specifying the kind of position independence
the kernel shall have. For x86 we had and still have -fno-pic, but the
PPC kernel has -fPIE (position independent executable) now, as we
need to relocate it.
* The boot loader relocates the kernel now. Mostly copied the relocation
code from the kernel ELF loader. Almost completely rewrote the PPC
specific relocation code, though. It's more correct and more complete now
(some things are still missing though).
* Added boot platform awareness to the kernel. Moved the generic
Open Firmware code (openfirmware.c/h) from the boot loader to the kernel.
* The kernel PPC serial debug output is sent to the console for the time
being.
* The PPC boot loader counts the CPUs now and allocates the kernel stacks
(made OF device iteration a bit more flexible on the way -- the search
can be restricted to subtree). Furthermore we really enter the kernel...
(Yay! :-) ... and crash in the first dprintf() (in the atomic_set()
called by acquire_spinlock()). kprintf() works, though.

Removed "bootfs" and the support for it in other components.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14585 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Merged changes from branch build_system_redesign at revision 14573.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14574 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Moved vfs_bootstrap_file_systems() and vfs_mount_boot_file_system() out of vfs.cpp
and into its own file vfs_boot.cpp.

Added basic support for booting from CD - it doesn't give CDs a higher priority,
so you could end up booting from HD when you didn't explicetly select "CD-ROM"
in the boot loader. Eventually, it should only boot from HD in this case, if
booting from CD failed (because of a missing boot partition or whatever).

fs_mount(), _kern_mount(), and _user_mount() will now return the dev_t of the
mounted device, and not just B_OK. Maybe we should have fs_unmount() work on
a dev_t instead of a path as well...


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14403 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

If anything is still broken (and was not before :)), please shout.

* Renamed pipefs.cpp to fifo.cpp.
* Removed the pipefs functionality. We only need to support FIFO nodes.
* Renamed the remaining pipefs_*() functions to fifo_*().

* rootfs.c -> rootfs.cpp
* Made the kernel rootfs reusable by the FS Shell and removed the
copy in the FS Shell sources.

* Renamed fs/vfs_select.cpp to wait_for_objects.cpp and got rid of
vfs_select.h, respectively moved most of it into the new kernel
private header wait_for_objects.h.
* Added new experimental API functions wait_for_objects[_etc](). They
work pretty much like poll(), but also for semaphores, ports, and
threads.
* Removed the "ref" parameter from notify_select_events() and the
select_sync_pool functions as well as from fd_ops::fd_[de]select(). It
is no longer needed. The FS interface select() hook still has it,
though -- the VFS will always pass 0.
* de]select_fd() take a select_info* instead of a select_sync* + ref
pair, now. Added respective functions for semaphores, ports, and
threads.

* fd.c -> fd.cpp
* Reworked the select support:
- The io_context additionally stores a table of lists of select_infos,
which enables it to deselect events of a pending select() when
closing a FD. This prevents a race condition potentially causing a
write to stale memory.
- The opaque selectsync* passed to FSs is now actually a select_info*.
This was necessary, since the FDs deselect() hook (unlike the
select() hook) doesn't take a "ref" argument and deselecting a
single info (e.g. caused by a premature close()) was not possible.
The select() hook's "ref" argument has become superfluous.
- It should now be relatively easy to implement a poll_on_steroids()
that can also wait for objects other than FDs (e.g. semaphores,
ports, threads etc.).
* Set/reset the signal mask in common_select(). This makes pselect()
work as required.
* Reorganized vfs_resize_fd_table().

bonefish+axeld:
* Simplified the notification framework: removed the updater stuff completely;
it was only there to account for some peculiarities of the node monitor which
we now solved differently.
* NotificationListener no longer includes a doubly linked list link for convenience;
it might want to listen to more than just one service.
* NotificationService cannot have an abstract destructor.
* Changed the _user_stop_watching() syscall to mirror the Be API; ie. it's no
longer possible to just remove some flags separately, just to stop listening
completely.
* Adapted the node monitor implementation to live in the NodeMonitorService class
that uses the new notification framework.
* Removed the public kernel node monitor API - it wasn't useful that way since you
couldn't do a lot with the KMessage in the kernel without using a private API.
Now you will have to use the (private) notification manager to use the node monitor
from inside the kernel. At a later point, we might introduce a public API for that,
too.

[Sorry, couldn't split this one up any further.]
* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.

Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

* Removed write_link from the FS module interface. Adjusted all FS
add-ons accordingly and removed the syscall.
* Removed send_notification().
* Reimplemented notify_listener(). It used the unimplemented
send_notification(). Now it has a chance to work. Note that
notify_listener() is obsolete. I would already have removed it, if
there weren't lots of FS implementations still using it (Hint!).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20329 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Introduced new build system variables
{HAIKU,HOST,TARGET}_KERNEL_PIC_{CC,LINK}FLAGS which define the
compiler/linker flags specifying the kind of position independence
the kernel shall have. For x86 we had and still have -fno-pic, but the
PPC kernel has -fPIE (position independent executable) now, as we
need to relocate it.
* The boot loader relocates the kernel now. Mostly copied the relocation
code from the kernel ELF loader. Almost completely rewrote the PPC
specific relocation code, though. It's more correct and more complete now
(some things are still missing though).
* Added boot platform awareness to the kernel. Moved the generic
Open Firmware code (openfirmware.c/h) from the boot loader to the kernel.
* The kernel PPC serial debug output is sent to the console for the time
being.
* The PPC boot loader counts the CPUs now and allocates the kernel stacks
(made OF device iteration a bit more flexible on the way -- the search
can be restricted to subtree). Furthermore we really enter the kernel...
(Yay! :-) ... and crash in the first dprintf() (in the atomic_set()
called by acquire_spinlock()). kprintf() works, though.

Removed "bootfs" and the support for it in other components.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14585 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Merged changes from branch build_system_redesign at revision 14573.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14574 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Moved vfs_bootstrap_file_systems() and vfs_mount_boot_file_system() out of vfs.cpp
and into its own file vfs_boot.cpp.

Added basic support for booting from CD - it doesn't give CDs a higher priority,
so you could end up booting from HD when you didn't explicetly select "CD-ROM"
in the boot loader. Eventually, it should only boot from HD in this case, if
booting from CD failed (because of a missing boot partition or whatever).

fs_mount(), _kern_mount(), and _user_mount() will now return the dev_t of the
mounted device, and not just B_OK. Maybe we should have fs_unmount() work on
a dev_t instead of a path as well...

This should fix the build after all the kernel/system renaming.
If anything is still broken (and was not before :)), please shout.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@12361 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Renamed system/core to system/kernel.
