Implement stack protection support

this adds kernel & libroot stack protector hooks. it uses /dev/random in userspace.
A configure option --enable-stack-protector is added to activate -fstack-protector
on selected system components (ATM apps, kits, servers).

kernel: Add debug level to welcome message


# db9b70ee 07-May-2018 Jérôme Duval <jerome.duval@gmail.com>

kernel: add a compatibility commpage on x86_64.

* x86 uses a commpage with 32-bit addresses, incompatible with the one used for
x86_64. For this reason, a compatibility commpage is needed to support a 32-bit
userland on x86_64.
* define ADDRESS_TYPE as a macro for addr_t (default) or uint32 (for the 32-bit
commpage).
* team_create_thread_start_internal() will use clone_commpage_area() with
KERNEL_USER_DATA_BASE or clone_commpage_compat_area() with
KERNEL_USER32_DATA_BASE, to setup the correct commpage.
* real_time_clock (in compatibility mode) also updates the compatibility
commpage with real time data.

# 89168ad8 15-Apr-2015 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Boot the system via launch_daemon.

* This is actually working already, although we cannot reproduce all
the features of the former Bootscript yet. This is without any
dependency support in launch_daemon.
* All shell activity like cleaning out /tmp, setting up the environment,
setting the time, etc. is not yet working.

* This enables a mechanism to profile almost the complete boot process
(starting with main2()), if SYSTEM_PROFILER is defined to 1.
* You can access the profiling data using "profile -r".

Add symbol versioning for find_directory()

Should already have been done back when the semantics for the
B_COMMON_*DIRECTORY constants was changed.

Currently old and new version behave the same. So this is just a
contingency measure ATM.


# b8a9a3a1 26-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Copied the x86 debug console functions to x86_64.

Note that this is only temporary so that I have serial output from the kernel,
the x86 and x86_64 versions will be merged later.


# e5fc2bfc 26-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Implemented long mode setup/switch code, the bootloader can now start the 64-bit kernel!

The setup procedure is fairly simple: create a 64-bit GDT and 64-bit page
tables that include all kernel mappings from the 32-bit address space, but at
the correct 64-bit address, then go through kernel_args and changes all virtual
addresses to 64-bit addresses, and finally switch to long mode and jump to the
kernel.


# 0e88a887 13-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

First round of 64-bit safety fixes in the kernel.

* Most of this is incorrect printf format strings. Changed all strings
causing errors to use the B_PRI* format string definitions, which
means the strings should be correct across all platforms.
* Some other fixes for errors, casts required, etc.


# 323b6546 21-Nov-2011 Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>

Filtered flat import of Oliver's svn package management branch

Bring the changes that aren't package management related and the ones
that are but don't take effect as long as they are ignored by the build
system into the master.

Summary of changes:
* Introduce private header <directories.h> with constants for a good
deal of paths that should usually be retrieved via find_directory().
* Replace hard-coded paths by using find_directory() or the
<directories.h> constants (e.g. in drivers and the kernel).
* Add find_directory() constants needed for package management.
* Add __HAIKU_ABI_NAME and B_HAIKU_ABI_NAME macros.
* src/apps/deskbar: BeMenu.* -> DeskbarMenu.*,
DeskBarUtils.* -> DeskbarUtils.*
* Change deskbar menu settings directory from ~/config/be to
~/config/settings/deskbar.
* Other smaller cleanups, changes, and fixes.

# 24df6592 11-Jun-2011 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

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.

deletion/name changes). The functions start_system_watching()/
stop_system_watching start/stop watching events.

Introduce a gSystemShutdown flag to be able to check if system is shutting down. ACPI Embedded Controller now uses polling when it is set to true.
This might help with ACPI shutdown issues, if not this change can be reverted. Not verified as it works on all my machines even without this.

* Moved the addition of the basic debugger commands directly after the VM init.
* Separated the other stuff previously done in debug_init_post_vm() to the new
debug_init_post_settings().
* Removed superfluous status_t return codes - they are ignored, anyway, and if
there really is a show stopper in the init process, panicking would be the
thing one should do.

# 7f987e49 30-Apr-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Added a rendez-vous variable parameter to smp_trap_non_boot_cpus() and make
boot CPU wait until all other CPUs are ready to wait. This solves a
theoretical problem in main(): The boot CPU could run fully through the early
initialization and reset sCpuRendezvous2 before the other CPUs left
smp_cpu_rendezvous(). It's very unlikely on real hardware that the non-boot
CPUs are so much slower, but it might be a concern in emulation.

# 28d05e02 29-Apr-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Make scheduler_reschedule() an no-op until we're ready to start the
scheduler. This avoids the need to use the send_signal_etc() work-around for
resume_thread() during the early kernel initialization. Might fix #5851.

# 9de17be6 14-Apr-2010 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Moved I/O APIC initialization to a later point, now the APCI and DPC modules
can safely be used.
* Since using the I/O APIC is disabled by default, I've removed the "return"
that prevented its use when enabled. Let's see if it already does anything.
* Adapted other arch_int.cpp with a bit of cleanup.

# 813d4cbe 11-Apr-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Moved created subdirectory src/system/kernel/lock.cpp to new subdirectory
locks.
* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
(it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
operations, though.

Since r33809 dprintf() acquires a mutex when called with interrupts enabled.
This is something must must not do in an idle thread or we get the scheduler
into trouble.

# e8885f20 22-Oct-2009 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Basically rewrote the ports subsystem to use:
* its own heap allocator instead of cbuf - this makes cbuf superfluous, and I
therefore removed it from the kernel. The heap is swappable, so lifts the
kernel's resource usage a bit. In the future, the heap should grow as well;
right now it should be at least as good as before.
* it no longer uses spinlocks, but just mutexes now for better scalability - it
was not usable with interrupts turned off anyway (due to its semaphore usage).
* it no longer uses semaphores, but condition variables.
* Needed to move the port initialization to a later point, as swappable memory
wasn't usable that early.
* All ports test are still passing, hopefully I didn't mess anything up :-)

# fab1c05c 24-Jun-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Split the commpage initialization into two parts. The second part is executed
after all CPUs have been queried for their features. On SMP machines
sysenter/sysexit weren't used before due to the non-boot CPUs appearing not
to have the feature.

# 53e10177 04-Apr-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

bonefish + mmlr:
* We started the "main2" thread too late. Since the scheduler was already
started on all CPUs, the idle thread could wait (for a mutex) while
spawing the "main2" thread. This violated the assumption in the scheduler
that all idle threads would always be ready or running. We now create the
thread while the kernel runs still single-threaded.
* scheduler_start() is now invoked with interrupts still disabled. We enable
them after the function returns. This prevents scheduler_reschedule() from
potentially being invoked before scheduler_start().

# 51755cf8 15-Mar-2009 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Added DefaultNotificationService and DefaultUserNotificationService
implementations that can be used by subsystems that want to have a pretty
standard service. Only the latter is really complete, though.
* The notification manager is now available earlier in the boot process.
* Added notifications to teams/ports (only add/remove).
* The network notification implementation is now using the
DefaultUserNotificationService.

# 53892c92 20-Oct-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Replaced scheduler_remove_from_run_queue() by
scheduler_set_thread_priority(). Setting the thread priority was the
only situation in which it was used.
* Renamed scheduler.cpp to scheduler_simple.cpp.
* The scheduler functions are no longer called directly. Instead there's
an operation vector now, which is initialized at kernel init time.
This allows for picking the most suitable scheduler for the machine
(e.g. a non-SMP scheduler on a non-SMP machine).

# 6075e354 26-Sep-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Call module_init_post_boot_device() right after the boot volume has
been mounted, before anyone could try to load any modules from it.
Also pass it a flag whether the boot volume is where the boot loader
pre-loaded the modules from.
* module_init_post_boot_device() changes the pre-loaded module image
paths to normalized boot volume paths, now. Got rid of the code in
register_preloaded_module_image() which tried something like this.
* Changed module image ref counting. A referenced module has single
reference to its image, which is released when the module becomes
unreferenced.
* get_module() for a reference module will not try to re-get and re-set
the module's image anymore. That could lead to a similar module (from
different paths) being loaded at the same time. A module from a new
file can only be loaded when the old one has been put completely.
* Simplified B_KEEP_ALIVE module handling a bit. When the module is
initialized, we add another reference, which we'll never free. Thus
the module remains loaded without special handling. Removed
module_image::keep_loaded. A B_KEEP_ALIVE module remains referenced
and thus its image remains referenced, too.
* Removed module::file, a cached path to the module's image. An
optimization that wouldn't work with multiple root directories for
modules (/boot/beos/..., /boot/common/...) or when module files were
moved. get_module() does now always search the image file, when the
module is still unreferenced. This should be a bit slower than before,
but I didn't notice any difference in VMware at least. If it turns out
to be a problem we could introduce a more intelligent cache that stays
up to date by using node monitoring.

accordingly.
* Added a (pretty simple) "vmstat" command line app.
* Minor cleanup.

before timer_init(), or int_init_post_vm()).

# 35560421 03-Aug-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Patch by Zhao Shuai with changes by myself:
* Keep track of the stack space actually allocated for the cache and let
Write() fail when we've already allocated as much as reserved.
* Added second phase of swap initialization (swap_init_post_modules())
which reads the virtual memory driver settings and creates/resizes a
swap file. ATM truncate() is used to resize the swap file, but that is
a bit slow. We should probably introduce a VFS function to use BFS's
fast method.

This should make swap support work somewhat, but since swap space is
never freed ATM this would be a relatively short pleasure. Still
disabled by default.

# 47ca7595 28-Jul-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

First patch by Salvatore to implement XSI semaphores with a few changes
by myself:
* renamed xsi_do_undo() to xsi_sem_undo() (there is more to XSI than sems).
* Fixed coding style issues in sys/sem.h and xsi_sem.cpp.
* Added _kern_*() syscall prototypes to syscalls.h.
* Added a TODO in xsi_sem.cpp and xsi_semaphore.h about moving union semun to
a shared header.
* Made the team::xsi_sem_undo_requests int32 - due to padding, it would have
needed 4 bytes anyway; please always use specific types over int/short/long.
* xsi_sem_undo() now checks if it needs to do anything - the calls in team.cpp
no longer needs to do this.

# c586076d 24-Jul-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Patch by Zhao Shuai with changes by myself:
* Init swap support in main().
* Added "bool swappable" parameter to
VMCacheFactory::CreateAnonymousCache(). A cache supporting swapping
is created when true. Adjusted invocations accordingly.
* The page writer does now write non-locked swappable pages (when
memory is low).
* Fixed header guard of VMAnonymousNoSwapCache.h.
* Swap support is compiled conditionally, controlled by the
ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT in src/system/kernel/vm/VMAnonymousCache.h. It is
disabled ATM. Since no swap files are added, it wouldn't have much
effect anyway.

# 5c99d639 22-Jul-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/vm into trunk. This
introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.

* Added an explicit boot_splash_uninit(). Not really needed, but makes
it clear when boot_splash_set_stage() must no longer be used.
* Free the memory associated with the kernel args before starting the
init process. Unlike the original TODO stated there are quite a few
more users of the kernel args (including the boot splash screen),
hence we can't really do that earlier, unless we decide to copy the
data over to the kernel heap.

# f5b3a6a7 05-Jun-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

* Initialize all static mutexes in the kernel through a MUTEX_INITIALIZER()
and remove the then unneeded mutex_init() for them.
* Remove the workaround for allowing uninitialized mutexes on kernel startup.
As they are all initialized statically through the MUTEX_INITIALIZER() now
this is not needed anymore.
* An uninitialized mutex will now cause a panic when used to find possibly
remaining cases.
* Remove now unnecessary driver_settings_init_post_sem() function.

# 1c8de858 01-Jun-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added optional spinlock contention measurement feature. Enabled when
B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.

# 368167ed 26-May-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* 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.

Implemented long mode setup/switch code, the bootloader can now start the 64-bit kernel!

The setup procedure is fairly simple: create a 64-bit GDT and 64-bit page
tables that include all kernel mappings from the 32-bit address space, but at
the correct 64-bit address, then go through kernel_args and changes all virtual
addresses to 64-bit addresses, and finally switch to long mode and jump to the
kernel.

First round of 64-bit safety fixes in the kernel.

* Most of this is incorrect printf format strings. Changed all strings
causing errors to use the B_PRI* format string definitions, which
means the strings should be correct across all platforms.
* Some other fixes for errors, casts required, etc.

Filtered flat import of Oliver's svn package management branch

Bring the changes that aren't package management related and the ones
that are but don't take effect as long as they are ignored by the build
system into the master.

Summary of changes:
* Introduce private header <directories.h> with constants for a good
deal of paths that should usually be retrieved via find_directory().
* Replace hard-coded paths by using find_directory() or the
<directories.h> constants (e.g. in drivers and the kernel).
* Add find_directory() constants needed for package management.
* Add __HAIKU_ABI_NAME and B_HAIKU_ABI_NAME macros.
* src/apps/deskbar: BeMenu.* -> DeskbarMenu.*,
DeskBarUtils.* -> DeskbarUtils.*
* Change deskbar menu settings directory from ~/config/be to
~/config/settings/deskbar.
* Other smaller cleanups, changes, and fixes.

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.

* Moved the addition of the basic debugger commands directly after the VM init.
* Separated the other stuff previously done in debug_init_post_vm() to the new

there really is a show stopper in the init process, panicking would be the
thing one should do.

Added a rendez-vous variable parameter to smp_trap_non_boot_cpus() and make
boot CPU wait until all other CPUs are ready to wait. This solves a
theoretical problem in main(): The boot CPU could run fully through the early
initialization and reset sCpuRendezvous2 before the other CPUs left
smp_cpu_rendezvous(). It's very unlikely on real hardware that the non-boot
CPUs are so much slower, but it might be a concern in emulation.

Make scheduler_reschedule() an no-op until we're ready to start the

resume_thread() during the early kernel initialization. Might fix #5851.

can safely be used.

that prevented its use when enabled. Let's see if it already does anything.

* Moved created subdirectory src/system/kernel/lock.cpp to new subdirectory
locks.
* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
(it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
operations, though.

Basically rewrote the ports subsystem to use:
* its own heap allocator instead of cbuf - this makes cbuf superfluous, and I
therefore removed it from the kernel. The heap is swappable, so lifts the
kernel's resource usage a bit. In the future, the heap should grow as well;
right now it should be at least as good as before.
* it no longer uses spinlocks, but just mutexes now for better scalability - it
was not usable with interrupts turned off anyway (due to its semaphore usage).
* it no longer uses semaphores, but condition variables.
* Needed to move the port initialization to a later point, as swappable memory
wasn't usable that early.
* All ports test are still passing, hopefully I didn't mess anything up :-)

Split the commpage initialization into two parts. The second part is executed
after all CPUs have been queried for their features. On SMP machines
sysenter/sysexit weren't used before due to the non-boot CPUs appearing not
to have the feature.

bonefish + mmlr:
* We started the "main2" thread too late. Since the scheduler was already
started on all CPUs, the idle thread could wait (for a mutex) while
spawing the "main2" thread. This violated the assumption in the scheduler
that all idle threads would always be ready or running. We now create the
thread while the kernel runs still single-threaded.
* scheduler_start() is now invoked with interrupts still disabled. We enable
them after the function returns. This prevents scheduler_reschedule() from
potentially being invoked before scheduler_start().

* Added DefaultNotificationService and DefaultUserNotificationService
implementations that can be used by subsystems that want to have a pretty
standard service. Only the latter is really complete, though.
* The notification manager is now available earlier in the boot process.
* Added notifications to teams/ports (only add/remove).
* The network notification implementation is now using the
DefaultUserNotificationService.

* Replaced scheduler_remove_from_run_queue() by
scheduler_set_thread_priority(). Setting the thread priority was the
only situation in which it was used.
* Renamed scheduler.cpp to scheduler_simple.cpp.
* The scheduler functions are no longer called directly. Instead there's
an operation vector now, which is initialized at kernel init time.
This allows for picking the most suitable scheduler for the machine
(e.g. a non-SMP scheduler on a non-SMP machine).

# 6075e354abea9c571e3e74ecdc56662de736c4eb 26-Sep-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Call module_init_post_boot_device() right after the boot volume has
been mounted, before anyone could try to load any modules from it.
Also pass it a flag whether the boot volume is where the boot loader
pre-loaded the modules from.
* module_init_post_boot_device() changes the pre-loaded module image
paths to normalized boot volume paths, now. Got rid of the code in
register_preloaded_module_image() which tried something like this.
* Changed module image ref counting. A referenced module has single
reference to its image, which is released when the module becomes
unreferenced.
* get_module() for a reference module will not try to re-get and re-set
the module's image anymore. That could lead to a similar module (from
different paths) being loaded at the same time. A module from a new
file can only be loaded when the old one has been put completely.
* Simplified B_KEEP_ALIVE module handling a bit. When the module is
initialized, we add another reference, which we'll never free. Thus
the module remains loaded without special handling. Removed
module_image::keep_loaded. A B_KEEP_ALIVE module remains referenced
and thus its image remains referenced, too.
* Removed module::file, a cached path to the module's image. An
optimization that wouldn't work with multiple root directories for
modules (/boot/beos/..., /boot/common/...) or when module files were
moved. get_module() does now always search the image file, when the
module is still unreferenced. This should be a bit slower than before,
but I didn't notice any difference in VMware at least. If it turns out
to be a problem we could introduce a more intelligent cache that stays
up to date by using node monitoring.

Patch by Zhao Shuai with changes by myself:
* Keep track of the stack space actually allocated for the cache and let
Write() fail when we've already allocated as much as reserved.
* Added second phase of swap initialization (swap_init_post_modules())
which reads the virtual memory driver settings and creates/resizes a
swap file. ATM truncate() is used to resize the swap file, but that is
a bit slow. We should probably introduce a VFS function to use BFS's
fast method.

This should make swap support work somewhat, but since swap space is
never freed ATM this would be a relatively short pleasure. Still
disabled by default.

First patch by Salvatore to implement XSI semaphores with a few changes
by myself:
* renamed xsi_do_undo() to xsi_sem_undo() (there is more to XSI than sems).
* Fixed coding style issues in sys/sem.h and xsi_sem.cpp.
* Added _kern_*() syscall prototypes to syscalls.h.
* Added a TODO in xsi_sem.cpp and xsi_semaphore.h about moving union semun to
a shared header.
* Made the team::xsi_sem_undo_requests int32 - due to padding, it would have
needed 4 bytes anyway; please always use specific types over int/short/long.
* xsi_sem_undo() now checks if it needs to do anything - the calls in team.cpp
no longer needs to do this.

Patch by Zhao Shuai with changes by myself:
* Init swap support in main().
* Added "bool swappable" parameter to
VMCacheFactory::CreateAnonymousCache(). A cache supporting swapping
is created when true. Adjusted invocations accordingly.
* The page writer does now write non-locked swappable pages (when
memory is low).
* Fixed header guard of VMAnonymousNoSwapCache.h.
* Swap support is compiled conditionally, controlled by the
ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT in src/system/kernel/vm/VMAnonymousCache.h. It is
disabled ATM. Since no swap files are added, it wouldn't have much
effect anyway.

# 5c99d639708df9b4e2cc847b38d510149d19ec78 22-Jul-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/vm into trunk. This
introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.

# 383a9ac435e037cd13f6a13d2eddf1147d7830eb 09-Jul-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added an explicit boot_splash_uninit(). Not really needed, but makes
it clear when boot_splash_set_stage() must no longer be used.
* Free the memory associated with the kernel args before starting the
init process. Unlike the original TODO stated there are quite a few
more users of the kernel args (including the boot splash screen),
hence we can't really do that earlier, unless we decide to copy the
data over to the kernel heap.

* Initialize all static mutexes in the kernel through a MUTEX_INITIALIZER()
and remove the then unneeded mutex_init() for them.
* Remove the workaround for allowing uninitialized mutexes on kernel startup.
As they are all initialized statically through the MUTEX_INITIALIZER() now
this is not needed anymore.
* An uninitialized mutex will now cause a panic when used to find possibly
remaining cases.
* Remove now unnecessary driver_settings_init_post_sem() function.

# 1c8de8581b66c14ea94bccd7ddcea99291955796 01-Jun-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added optional spinlock contention measurement feature. Enabled when
B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.

* 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.
