* 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.

H A Dvm.cppdiff c650846d Tue Mar 14 15:42:25 MDT 2023 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com> vm: Replace the VMAreas OpenHashTable with an AVLTree.

Since we used a hash table with a fixed size (1024), collisions were
obviously inevitable, meaning that while insertions would always be
fast, lookups and deletions would take linear time to search the
linked-list for the area in question. For recently-created areas,
this would be fast; for less-recently-created areas, it would get
slower and slower and slower.

A particularly pathological case was the "mmap/24-1" test from the
Open POSIX Testsuite, which creates millions of areas until it hits
ENOMEM; it then simply exits, at which point it would run for minutes
and minutes in the kernel team deletion routines; how long I don't know,
as I rebooted before it finished.

This change fixes that problem, among others, at the cost of increased
area creation time, by using an AVL tree instead of a hash. For comparison,
mmap'ing 2 million areas with the "24-1" test before this change took
around 0m2.706s of real time, while afterwards it takes about 0m3.118s,
or around a 15% increase (1.152x).

On the other hand, the total test runtime for 2 million areas went from
around 2m11.050s to 0m4.035s, or around a 97% decrease (0.031x); in other
words, with this new code, it is *32 times faster.*

Area insertion will no longer be O(1), however, so the time increase
may go up with the number of areas present on the system; but if it's
only around 3 seconds to create 2 million areas, or about 1.56 us per area,
vs. 1.35 us before, I don't think that's worth worrying about.

My nonscientific "compile HaikuDepot with 2 cores in VM" benchmark
seems to be within the realm of "noise", anyway, with most results
both before and after this change coming in around 47s real time.

diff c25f6f53 Tue Mar 29 18:09:36 MDT 2022 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com> kernel/vm: Completely replace mlock() implementation.

The old implementation used the real lock_memory(). This is problematic
and does not work for a large number of reasons:

1) Various parts of the kernel assume memory is locked only very
temporarily, and will often wait on locked memory to become unlocked.
The transient nature of locks is further demonstrated by the fact that
lock_memory acquires references to structures, like the address space,
which are only released by unlock_memory

2) The VM has a hard assumption that all lock_memory calls will be
exactly balanced, and maintains internal "WiredRange" structures
on areas, etc. corresponding to the original lock_memory calls.
Maintaining separate data structures as this code did is a recipe
for even more problems when the structures are manipulated separately,
leading to confusing or incorrect behavior on unlocks.

3) Areas with locked memory cannot be deleted, nor can the pages which are
locked be removed from the areas/caches. This of course is most notable
when destroying teams which locked memory, but the problem also occurs
when just using delete_area, resize_area, mmap/munmap, etc.

Because of (2) and especially (3), adding support for mlock()-like semantics
to the existing memory locking system is just not a good option. A further
reason is that our lock_memory is much stricter than mlock(), which only
demands the pages in question must remain resident in RAM and cannot be
swapped out (or, it seems, otherwise written back to disk.)

Thus, this commit completely removes the old implementation (which
was seriously broken and did not actually automatically unlock memory
on team exit or area destruction at all, etc.) and instead adds a new
feature to VMAnonymousCache to block certain pages from being written out.
The syscall then just invokes this to do its work.

Fixes #17674. Related to #13651.

diff 023a547d Mon Aug 06 21:27:50 MDT 2018 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com> vm: Enable B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA protection.

Spotted while reading through the VM code while thinking about how to
implement vfork().

When axeld disabled this in 2005 (!), Haiku's kernel was still young,
BeOS drivers were still "a thing," and there was no distinction in this
function from being called by the kernel / not by the kernel.

Now, it's 2018, we manage all drivers ourselves, have SMAP enabled by
default when available, and as axeld recently noted on the mailing lists,
"there's not much reason we still use GCC2 for the kernel anyway." So we
probably don't care about any BeOS drivers that may be broken by this
(are there any still around?)

Besides the usual fixes to get this 13-year-old chunk to work again, there
are two functional changes:
1) Allow the kernel to clone whatever it likes into the user's address space.
It seems that this is often done legitimately (e.g. team creation), and
so attempting to distinguish those cases seems more work than it may be
worth right now.

The disadvantage is that drivers without proper checks may be "tricked"
into cloning areas they shouldn't; but I'm guessing if that's the case,
then something else is probably broken and the driver should be fixed.
It seems the reverse case (cloning a userland area into the kernel)
is much more common (in fact, it looks like all 4 of the 4 places
where clone_area is used in kernel-space outside the kernel itself
are doing this.)

2) At KDEBUG_LEVEL 2 and higher, throw a panic when attempting to clone
an area that does not have the protection flag set. This should make
finding any bugs exposed by this change much easier than "hardware doesn't
work" / "black screen on boot" / etc., as well as any potential future
bugs introduced in the process of driver development.

Fixes the immediate issue of #10977. There's a problem remaining (as
discussed in comment 1): If two threads want to wire the same page at
the same time (which led to the assertion being triggered), they will
now deadlock, waiting for each other to remove the pre-registered

This is a very simple heap implementation that allocates memory so that
the end of each allocation always coincides with a page end and is
followed by a guard page which is marked non-present. Out of bounds
access (both read and write) therefore cause a crash (unhandled page
fault).

Note that this allocator is neither speed nor space efficient, indeed it
wastes huge amounts of pages and address space so it is quite easy to
hit limits. It is intended as a pure debug feature.
