5c4d1c5e21 Complete rework of the heap implementation. Freelists are now part of the pages
and pages are now kept in lists as well. This allows to return free pages once
a bin does not need them anymore. Partially filled pages are kept in a sorted
linked list so that allocation will always happen on the fullest page - this
favours having full pages and makes it more likely lightly used pages will get
completely empty so they can be returned. Generally this now goes more in the
direction of a slab allocator.
The allocation logic has been extracted, so a heap is now simply attachable to
a region of memory. This allows for multiple heaps and for dynamic growing. In
case the allocator runs out of free pages, an asynchronous growing thread is
notified to create a new area and attach a new heap to it.
By default the kernel heap is now set to 16MB and grows by 8MB each time all
heaps run full.
This should solve quite a few issues, like certain bins just claiming all pages
so that even if there is free space nothing can be allocated. Also it obviously
does aways with filling the heap page by page until it overgrows.
I think this is now a well performing and scalable allocator we can live with
for quite some time. It is well tested under emulation and real hardware and
performs as expected. If problems come up there is an extensive sanity checker
that can be enabled by PARANOID_VALIDATION that covers most aspects of the
allocator. For normal operation this is not necessary though and is therefore
disabled by default.

62cb58a8ef Make print_server track Transport addons too. This is because some of the NewTransportAddOns(tm) can also autodetect devices, e.g. USB printers. For this, the print_server needs to keep those transport addons loaded at all times. This code now also enables dynamic Transport discovery for the Printer prefs, e.g. 'hey print_server GET Transport 0' or 'hey print_server GET Transport 'USB Port'' will now work too ;)

6f58064f10 * Added flags field in net_protocol_module_info; there is currently a single
defined flag: NET_PROTOCOL_ATOMIC_MESSAGES.
* socket_send() now honours NET_PROTOCOL_ATOMIC_MESSAGES and returns either
  EMSGSIZE if the data to be send is larger than net_socket::send::buffer_size,
  or divides the data in appropriately sized chunks.
* This fixes sending >=64K over a TCP socket at once (TCP would just have
  returned an error in that case).
* TCP now overrides the default send buffer size (to 32768 for now).

TraceOutput for output options instead.
* Added "traced" option --difftime. Instead of the absolute system time
  it prints the difference time to the previously printed entry.

a32a4683ff * Implemented flock() semantics to the advisory locking backend. Not tested
(must also compare to BSD; I've looked at their sources, but I might have
  missed something).
* Added sys/file.h and the flock() system call.
* common_fcntl() could forget to put back the file descriptor on some error
  conditions (I guess we should introduce and use a DescriptorGetter class).
* Cleaned up fcntl.h, moved the BSD extensions S_IREAD and S_IWRITE to
  sys/stat.h where they belong, and added the missing S_IEXEC to them.
* Added some more comments.

* While this is not a really good idea for a lock with supposedly little
  contention, but it'll fix bug #1731. I haven't tested it yet, but will
  do so in a minute :-)
* I will need to rework the slab anyway so that it's possible to use it
  as a replacement for our heap, and then I'll switch back to a benaphore
  again.

destination of the message and it's "what" field are stored. It might be

78fa3affbc * Overlay on the G33 does not work anymore in the secondary ring buffer;
we now always only use the primary ring buffer.
* Removed secondary ring buffer allocation and member fields.
* Increased size of the primary ring buffer to 65536 bytes.
* The bytes per row register is computed differently for 9xx chips.
* On G33, the overlay does not need a physical address anymore, so we
  don't pass B_APERTURE_NEED_PHYSICAL to the allocation anymore for that
  device.
* intel_free_memory() accidently added the aperture base to the allocation
  and would therefore never free any memory.
* INTEL_RING_BUFFER_SIZE_MASK was shifted one bit to the right, didn't
  cause any harm with our buffer sizes, yet, though.
* With these changes, the driver runs stable on a G33 chipset (I have not
  yet tested the hardware cursor, though, it might need some work, too).
  The only known issue left is that overlay flickers a bit if its buffer
  is partially backed up by reserved and allocated memory.

  be of use to anyone.
* Fixed binding/unbinding pages in the Intel GART driver; I accidently shifted
  the page offset twice.
* Actually forgot handling of allocated memory in Aperture::BindMemory().
* Minor cleanup.

3cec75dc33 * Debugger modules now have two methods: enter_debugger() and exit_debugger().
* The kernel now opens up to 8 debugger modules (and puts them into an array;
  maybe we'll want to switch to a doubly linked list when there is the need).
* Implemented an example debugger module that prints a stack trace of the
  current thread when the kernel debugger is entered (not included in the
  image).

1c34b9b1f5 Work in progress (might not work for you yet):
* Now uses the AGP GART module for memory management. This greatly simplifies
  the memory handling, and memory is now actually allocated on demand,
  instead of a fixed size (stolen memory is not freed, though).
* The Intel GART module should now also work with older chipsets.
* No longer remove the GTT size from the stolen memory; this appears to have
  been a mistake in the X driver. Not sure about the BIOS popup yet.
* The AGP module (in combination with the Intel GART module) is now mandatory
  to use the Intel driver.
* Removed now superfluous settings (like memory size). Only enabling/disabling
  the hardware cursor is still supported.

3adccb1935 * More or less completely rewrote the AGP bus manager.
* It now also serves as a generic GART manager and accepts bus modules as well
  as custom modules of graphics drivers if they want to (could be used for the
  Radeon PCI GART stuff, for example).
* Implemented GART support module for Intel i965 and G33 chipsets (the other
  Intel chips will come later).
* Renamed agp bus manager to agp_gart to reflect its new functionality (even
  though the AGP functionality is already outdated (due to PCIe), the GART
  stuff remains current).
* Adapted existing users of the AGP bus manager to the API changes.
* Not very well tested yet...

4dfa9e425f Some work in progress:
* set_gtt_entry() used the wrong index to fill the GTT - this could have never
  worked correctly when you specified more memory than the amount of stolen
  memory.
* Implementing maintaining resources for emulating overlay using the 3D engine
  on i965. I don't yet commit the actual overlay code, as that is a) ugly, and
  b) does not work yet.
* Moved AreaKeeper into its own header.
* Minor cleanup.

325b88a661 * Introduced debugger command flag B_KDEBUG_DONT_PARSE_ARGUMENTS.
For commands with this flag set, the parser won't parse the
  arguments provided (it will only check for matching parentheses and
  brackets), but will pass the unparsed argument list string to the
  command instead.
* Set the new flag for the "expr" command, so one doesn't have to quote
  the expression to evaluate anymore (or put it in parentheses).
* Fixed tokenizing of quoted and unquoted strings in expression mode.

4a67038e56 * Added a new function hash_insert_grow() that grows the hash table when needed.
* Removed the public hash_grow() function again (at least for now, it's only
  private).
* Removed the newSize argument from hash_grow(); it will compute the new size
  automatically.
* The block cache is now using hash_insert_grow() instead of hash_insert()
  which should make hash lookups much faster with some 10 thousand blocks,
  also increased the initial table size from 32 to 1024...

b4f58d8758 Renamed syscall_parameters_info structure to extended_syscall_info (and
kSyscallParametersInfos to kExtendedSyscallInfos) and added "name"
field. Now the classes for syscall kernel tracing don't need to lookup
the syscall function symbol anymore, which speeds up printing/filtering
of those entries dramatically.

6d36996620 * Fixed my fix for make_space() wrapping. It's always a good idea to
write code aligned to what one has written in the comment (or the
  other way around).
* Made trace_entry structure doubly linked, by introducing a
  previous_size member. By using bit fields, shrinking the flags field
  to 4 bits, and not saving the lower two bits of size and previous_size
  (which are always 0 due to alignment), the structure remains 4 byte
  sized and can still address the same entry size.
* kBufferSize is no longer one less than it could be.
* "traced" command:
  - Use static variable for the iteration state rather then cluttering
    the temporary debug variable name space.
  - The <count> parameter can now be negative, in which case the entries
    before (and including) <start> are printed.
  - Added a new optional parameter, specifying the maximal number of
    entries to be filtered. Filtered iteration is beautifully
    comfortable now.

4c4b14c3bb The "traced" command can now be passed a filter expression consisting of
boolean operators ("not", "and", "or") and filters matching thread IDs
or contained strings.
I'm still not fully happy with the command. It should be possible to
define a filter and then comfortably scroll through the matching
entries. Currently having to specify an index range of the unfiltered
entries is rather unhandy in combination with filtering.

5d0afa4e4e * cache_detach_sub_transaction() didn't really work: it did not put all needed
blocks into the new transaction, but it would set that transaction on all
  blocks of the old transaction, too. Also, it did not correctly update the
  num_blocks/sub_num_blocks fields of the old transaction. Even worse, it did
  return B_OK instead of the ID of the new transaction...
* get_writable_cached_block() did not correctly maintain the number of blocks
  in the sub transaction.
* write_cached_block() did not free the original_data of a block when it wrote
  it back as part of a previous transaction.
* Changed "cookie" for cache_next_block_in_transaction() to "long", so it will
  be 64 bits when needed.
* Improved the API for detaching sub transactions: you can now get the blocks
  of only the main (parent) transaction as well, added new
  cache_block_in_main_transaction() function.
* BFS now flushes the log when there is no space left for the current
  transaction.
* _WriteTransactionToLog() allocated a "vecs" array, but never freed it.
* _WriteTransactionToLog() now also supports detaching the current sub
  transaction if the whole thing is getting too large (it will now also panic
  if that doesn't work out).
* Removed a useless optimization: making the blocks available in the cache
  isn't really needed, as all blocks in a transaction are locked into the
  cache, anyway.
* Implemented Transaction::WriteBlocks().
* Minor cleanup, removed some dead code, fixed warnings in the fs_shell's
  block_cache when compiled with debug output on.

8a90d12e26 * Added add_debugger_command_etc() which is similar to
add_debugger_command(), but additionally takes parameters "usage"
  and "flags".
* Added add_debugger_command_alias() which creates another name for an
  existing command.
* Added print_debugger_command_usage() to print a command's usage.
* invoke_debugger_command() intercepts invocations with "--help" and
  prints the command's usage text, if it is known. If unknown, the
  command will be called normally.
* Made use of the new functions in debug.cpp.

06f78e9fb7 * Changed the way temporary variables work. They won't be unset before
a command is executed anymore. Instead the least recently used
  temporary variable is overwritten, if there's no free slot for a new
  temporary variable.
* Removed the special handling for the command result variable ("_"). It
  just works like any other temporary variable, now.
* Individual temporary variables can be removed (e.g. using the "unset"
  command).
* Added unset_all_debug_variables() and "unset_all" command to unset
  all persistent and temporary variables.
* Removed remove_all_temporary_debug_variables and renamed
  remove_debug_variable() to unset_debug_variable().

c6ee79ce38 * vm_create_anonymous_area() now accepts B_ANY_KERNEL_BLOCK_ADDRESS.
* As a temporary work-around for the current slab allocator's area usage,
  I added the CACHE_LARGE_SLAB flag, which will force the allocator to 
  use larger areas.

3b4fa1664e * Implemented parse_expression(). The back-end is an expression parser
that is a little more powerful than BeOS'. It features:
  - Persistent and temporary uint64 variables. The former kind is set
    only by the user. The latter (those prefixed "_") can be set
    automatically by commands, thus e.g. making it easier to access
    members of a dumped structure. They are unset when the next command
    is invoked. The special temporary variable "_" is defined as a
    command's return value.
  - Expressions can contain nested command invocations using brackets
    ("[ ... ]").
  - Command lines are parsed by the expression parser, too. They can
    contain command invocations (in brackets) and expressions (in
    parentheses).
* Added debugger commands:
  - expr: Evaluates the given expression and prints the result.
  - unset: Undefines a variable.
  - vars: Prints the values of all defined variables.
* Moved debugger command code into its own source file.
