f66d2b46a8 kernel: Add event queue implementation to wait for objects efficiently.
Based on hamishm's original patch from 2015, but heavily modified,
refactored, and reworked.

From the original commit message:

> When an object is deleted, a B_EVENT_INVALID event is delivered,
> and the object is unregistered from the queue.
>
> The special event flag B_EVENT_ONE_SHOT can be passed in when adding
> an object so that the object is automatically unregistered when an
> event is delivered.

Modifications to the original change include:

 * Removed the public interface (syscalls remain private for the moment)

 * Event list queueing/dequeueing almost entirely rewritten, including:
  - Clear events field when dequeueing.

  - Have B_EVENT_QUEUED actually indicate whether the event has been
    appended to the linked list (or not), based around lock state.
    The previous logic was prone to races and double-insertions.

  - "Modify" is now just "Deselect + Select" performed at once;
    previously it could cause use-after-frees.

  - Unlock for deselect only once at the end of dequeue.

  - Handle INVALID events still in the queue upon destruction,
    fixing memory leaks.

 * Deduplified code with wait_for_objects.

 * Use of C++ virtual dispatch instead of C-style enum + function calls,
   and BReferenceable plus destructors for teardown.

 * Removed select/modify/delete flags. Select/Modify are now the same
   operation on the syscall interface, and "Delete" is done when 0
   is passed for "events". Additionally, the events selected can be fetched
   by passing -1 for "events".

 * Implemented level-triggered mode.

 * Use of BStackOrHeapArray and other convenience routines in syscalls.

93d7d1c52c user_mutex: Per-team contexts.
This requires the introduction of the flag B_USER_MUTEX_SHARED, and then
actually using the SHARED flags in pthread structures to determine when
it should be passed through.

This commit still uses wired memory even for per-team contexts.
That will change in the next commit.

GLTeapot FPS seems about the same.

6f3f29c7dd user_mutex: Refactor locking and unblocking mechanism.
Suppose the following scenario:

1. Thread A holds a mutex.

2. Thread B goes to acquire the mutex, winds up in kernel waiting.

3. Thread A unlocks; first unsets the LOCKED flag.
   As WAITING is set, it calls the kernel; but instead of processing
   this immediately, the thread is suspended for any reason (locks,
   reschedule, etc.)

4. Thread B hits a timeout, or a signal. It then unblocks in the kernel,
   which causes the WAITING flag to be unset.

5. Thread C goes to acquire the lock. It sets the LOCKED flag.
   It sees the WAITING flag is not set, so it returns at once,
   having successfully acquired the lock.

6. Thread A, suspended back in step 3, resumes.

Now we encounter the problem. Under the previous code, the following
would occur.

7. Thread A sees that no threads are waiting. It thus unsets the LOCKED
   flag, and returns from the kernel. Now we have a mutex theoretically
   held by thread C but which (illegally) has no LOCKED flag set!

8. Some other thread tries to acquire the lock, and succeeds, for LOCKED
   is not set. We now have one lock owned by two separate threads.
   That's very bad!

The solution, in this commit, is to (1) switch from using "atomic_or"
to lock mutexes, to using "atomic_test_and_set", and (2) mandate that
_kern_unblock_mutex must be invoked with the mutex already unlocked.

Trying to solve the problem with (2) but without (1) produces other
complications and would overall be more complicated. For instance,
all existing userland code expected that it would set LOCKED, but then
check LOCKED|WAITING. If _kern_mutex_unlock does not unset LOCKED,
then whichever thread sets LOCKED when it was previously unset is
now the mutex's undisputed owner, and if it fails to notice this,
would deadlock.

That could have been solved with extra checks at all lock points, but
then that would mean locks would not be acquired "fairly": it would
be possible for any thread to race with an unlocking thread, and
acquire the lock before the kernel had a chance to wake anyone up.

Given how fast atomics can be, and how slow invoking the kernel is
comparatively, that would probably make our mutexes extremely "unfair."
This would not violate the POSIX specification, but it does seem like
a dangerous choice to make in implementing these APIs.

Linux's "futex" API, which our API bears some similarities to, requires
at least one atomic test-and-set for an uncontended acquisition,
and multiple atomics more for even the simplest case of contended
acquisition. If it works for them, it should work for us, too.

Fixes #18436.

milliseconds since boot.
- Added more fields to the `team_info` structure. These field
include those provided by the `get_extended_team_info` syscall as
well as the newly introduced `start_time`.
- Extended the `_kern_get_team_info` system call to receive an
additional `size_t` argument. If this size is smaller than or
equal to the size of the old `team_info` structure, the newly
added attributes will not be retrieved.

b959d46dbd syscalls: Add get_stack_trace and lookup_symbol syscalls.
The get_stack_trace syscall generates a stack trace using the kernel
debugging facilities and copies the resulting return address array to
the preallocated buffer from userland. It is only possible to get a
stack trace of the current thread.

The lookup_symbol syscall can be used to look up the symbol and image
name corresponding to an address. It can be used to resolve symbols
from a stack trace generated by the get_stack_trace syscall. Only
symbols of the current team can be looked up. Note that this uses
the symbol lookup of the kernel debugger which does not support lookup
of all symbols (static functions are missing for example).

This is meant to be used in situations where more elaborate stack trace
generation, like done in the userland debugging helpers, is not possible
due to constraints.

* changed implementation of gettimeofday() to not bother trying to fill struct
  timezone - it was using wrong values before, anyway.

96ac47e312 Made some progress with consolidation of timezone-related code:
* renamed syscalls _kern_[gs]et_tzfilename 
  to _kern_[gs]et_real_time_clock_is_gmt, as the filename part is no longer
  relevant (and the two corresponding parameters were removed)
* C++-ified and reworked clockconfig to use the info from 'Time settings' 
  to setup the timezone info during boot
* removed invocation of _kern_get_tzfilename() from tzset(), as the syscall
  no longer exists and tzset() is currently broken anyway
* adjusted the Time preflet to use the renamed syscall when getting/setting 
  the RTC info

9d570af7c8 Changed the type of the "op" parameter of the fs_vnode_ops::ioctl() hook and
the _kern_ioctl() syscall from ulong to uint32.

907886143f * Changed some parameters of VM syscalls from int to uint32, mostly for sake
of consistency.
* Moved the B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA flag from B_KERNEL_AREA_FLAGS to
  B_USER_AREA_FLAGS, since we really allow it to be passed from userland.
* Most VM syscalls check the provided protection against B_USER_AREA_FLAGS
  instead of B_USER_PROTECTION, now. This way they allow for
  B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA as well.
* _user_map_file(), _user_set_memory_protection(): Check the protection like
  the other syscalls do and use fix_protection() instead of doing that
  manually.

* Implemented a tiny bit more sophisticated version of
  estimate_max_scheduling_latency() that uses a syscall that lets the scheduler
  decide.

813d4cbe94 * 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.
