33a9adb376 * Added a wait_for_thread_etc() function that allows specifying semaphore flags
and a timeout.
* _user_wait_for_thread() was not interruptible before, ie. Control-C wouldn't
  work.

9f6376a0c7 * get_vnode() did not decrease the sUnusedVnodes counter when taking one node
of that list.
* Added a vfs_free_unused_vnodes() function that calls the low memory handler
  directly.
* create_sem_etc() now calls the above function in case there are no semaphores
  available anymore; this usually frees up to 2 semaphores per node (one from
  the cache if there is a file cache attached, and eventually one from the
  file system).

b420ef6461 * Many VM area creation functions just panicked when a vm_store, vm_cache,
or vm_cache_ref couldn't be created, instead of cleaning up and returning
  an appropriate error.
* vm_cache_ref_create() no returns a status_t instead of the vm_cache_ref
  (as that's part of the vm_cache anyway).

0d4c16e0c0 * Reduced the stack usage of most of the I/O paths - there were several places
that put one or more full paths on the stack before, which could cause some
  problems under certain conditions.
* Cleaned up KPath, ie. use size_t instead of int32 where appropriate, added
  license.

bb674499f8 * Finally implemented B_WATCH_MOUNT, ie. Tracker now shows newly mounted volumes
(mounting still only works from the Terminal).
* Shuffled functions in node_monitor.cpp around to clearly differentiate between
  private, private kernel, and public kernel functions.

before another one in the list.

  resolution comes first). Doubled entries are automatically removed; this
  fixes bug #192.

f4b0f67cf6 Added [arch_]int_post_device_manager() which is invoked after
the device manager is initialized. For x86 it does nothing, but
for PPC it searches for a supported interrupt controller and
remembers it for later use.
arch_int_{enable,disable}_io_interrupt() are implemented as
well as handling of external exceptions (aka as I/O interrupts).
We'll see later how well that works.

d14aab0dca Changed the way how CPU activity is monitored: instead of taking the active
time of the idle thread as a measure, we now compute the CPU activity on
each thread switch - the time the CPU worked is the total of user and kernel
time a thread spent during its quantum.
Unlike before, this mechanism works correctly on SMP machines. I hope this
works as expected :)

df213cedbc * CPUs can now be disabled - that is, they will keep idling.
* Added syscalls _kern_set_cpu_enabled() and _kern_cpu_enabled().
* scheduler.c::sRunQueue::tail was not maintained at all; changed sRunQueue to
  be a simple thread pointer instead of a struct thread_queue.
* Turns out we're monitoring CPU activity incorrectly when we've got more
  than one CPU.
* Renamed the global CPU array from "cpu" to gCPU.

204131dc97 Added a real yield function to the kernel (using the next_priority approach).
The test application lets run a thread at the highest priority that calls
yield all the time - the system stays responsible when it runs, so it seems
to work fine :)
Changed the malloc implementation to use _kern_thread_yield() instead of
snoozing.
We should think about making this call public, too.

d14af9fde6 Introduced a next_priority field to struct thread that will be used when
enqueueing a thread to the run queue.
This mechanism is now used for the thread priority boost on semaphore
release. Also, those threads are no longer made real time threads, they
now get a temporary priority of B_FIRST_REAL_TIME_PRIORITY - 1.

906b28a9ac Added some PPC support to the PCI bus manager. We scan the Open Firmware
device tree for PCI controllers and make them known to the bus manager,
if we know how to talk with them. ATM we support only the UniNorth chip,
which can be found in G4 Macs (code ported from FreeBSD).
As far as I can judge it, all attached devices are identified correctly
on all three host bridges of my Mac mini.

ddb7d0b6a6 Implemented force unmounting - by passing the "-f" option to "unmount" you
can now safely unmount volumes that are still in use by some applications.
Minor fixes to the FD disconnection implementation:
* put_fd() checked the condition for being able to disconnect a descriptor
  incorrectly (causing the FD to never be disconnected).
* remove_fd() would hand out disconnected descriptors (but should have
  returned NULL for them).

7afc16f059 * Fixed a bug regarding storing/restoring FPSCR in the interrupt
code. The stack pointer was not adjusted, hence we were
  overwriting the previous register value. But it looks like I
  missed to check in the arch_cpu.h with the iframe structure
  including the floating point registers anyway.
* Backported the ELF PPC relocation code from the boot loader to
  the kernel.
* Fixed the PPC version of arch_thread_switch_kstack_and_call().
  Apparently the signature had changed, but the assembly
  implementation was not adjusted accordingly.
* sc prints more registers now (LR, CR, CTR, XER,...).
* Fixed several occurences of not-working fault handlers.
  Apparently the compiler realized, that the "error" label was
  never jumped to (by the code it knew), and optimized the
  respective code away. Now we use a trick to make it think the
  error label might actually be jumped to. I wonder whether the
  x86 version has the same problem when being compiled with GCC4.
* Adopted the x86 page fault handling interrupt code.

ba61df6d0b Beginnings of APM support: we now connect to the APM BIOS in 32 bit protected mode.
We don't do anything with it yet, though, so the BIOS will probably ignore us since
we are supposed to poll for events.

6c678c57c7 * The exception vector offset is now also part of the iframe.
* Cloned iframe stack management from x86.
* Reimplemented arch_thread_{get,set}_current_thread(). The
  thread structure is stored in SPRG2. It is set to NULL in
  arch_cpu_preboot_init(), now. A non-null current thread
  causes all kinds of undesired behavior in early boot code.
* We establish the address space mappings we know from the
  Open Firmware as areas. At least those in kernel address
  space. The ones in userland address space are tougher.
  Fortunately on my Mac mini there aren't any save the
  boot_loader stack, which is not needed any longer anyway.
* Added stack trace support to the kernel debugger. Mostly
  cloned and adjusted the x86 code. Some bits are still
  missing, like stack traces for other threads.

7176dd57e5 Reworked the exception handling code. The former one ran into the
void after turning off BAT for the segment containing itself.
The monster macro for the exception vector code was not really
elegant besides being too long for the 32 byte performance
monitor exception slot. Furthermore wasting three of the SPRG*
registers as cheap scratch memory wasn't that nice either.

We now have a three-step approach: The exception vectors
themselves contain only five instructions which branch to common
code at the beginning of the same physical page. That one sets
up BAT for itself, turns address translation back on and jumps
into the kernel. There we turn off BAT again, dump an iframe,
and enter the actual exception handler (/dispatcher). Upon return
the registers are restored from the iframe and we get back to the
place where the exception occurred.

262e0a636b We use the same strategy for computing the system time as on x86 now.
The time base conversion factor is the 32 bit value
  2^32 * 1000000 / time base frequency,
so the system time can be computed by
  system time = time base * conversion factor / 2^32.
The expression in system_time() looks more complicated now, but is
actually much faster (factor 2.5 on my Mac mini). I'm positively
surprised, how good the assembly looks, that GCC 4 generates. There's
not that much potential for optimization by hand-coding the function.

3b36b30fef * Made vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args() available to other kernel
parts, too. Fixed a potential overflow.
* The generic physical page mapper reserves the virtual address range
  for the IO space now, so that noone can interfere until an area has
  been created. The location of the IO space is no longer fixed; it
  didn't look to me like it was necessary for x86, and we definitely
  need to be flexible for PPC.

34a9556215 Made our glue code compatible to BeOS again. IOW executables compiled for Haiku will
now run under BeOS as well (as long as they don't use any functions that are not
available under R5).
The solution is a bit messy, but we have to live with it :-)
The runtime loader now patches the __gRuntimeLoader symbol in libroot.so to point
to its exported structure instead of passing it to the init functions as an
argument.

e55e1a0e66 Implemented the PPC specific RTC support. We search for an "rtc"
device in the Open Firmware implementation of boot loader and
pass its path to the kernel, where it's opened and used for
getting/setting the real time. The expensive atomic_*64() on PPC
32-bit make things a bit more complicated. Moreover, missing
64 bit multiplication and division instructions won't really
allow system_time() to be anywhere near as fast as on x86. :-/

7afa713acb Reorganized the boot platform dependencies in the kernel a bit.
Basically the architecture specific code is now responsible to
init and make use of the platform specific code, now. The reason
being that we have only one kernel per platform and thus cannot
decide at compile time, which platform to use (if any).
The PPC implementation features an abstract base class PPCPlatform
(implemented for all supported platforms) through which platform
support is provided.

a1bcf2c880 * The OF memory management callback is now set in arch_mmu_init().
According to the spec we need to set it before taking over the MMU,
  but we can't call it before arch_mmu_init(), since we need the OF
  to allocate the page table. So we do it after we have allocated
  the new page table.
* Added PPC specific kernel_args: The virtual address ranges we want
  to keep in the kernel. We fill that in with the translations we
  find when initializing the MMU stuff. We remove the memory the
  boot loader occupies from those. Besides the stack for the boot
  loader only the OF stuff remains.
* arch_mmu_allocate() now starts to search at KERNEL_BASE for a free
  virtual address when no particular address is requested. This saves
  us further trouble in the kernel, since those allocations would
  need to be remapped otherwise.

10a83ac31f * Added tlbia() and tlbie() macros. Replaced ptesync() by ppc_sync();
the fact that I couldn't find ptesync in an otherwise more complete
  documentation I downloaded yesterday made me suspicious.
* arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() uses tlbia now. The instruction is
  optional, but so is tlbie (how I understood it is that both exist,
  when the architecture implementation has a TLB). And the former loop
  looked just scary.
* Implemented arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate(). It does just the same as
  arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate().
* Some changes with respect to synchronization required on page table
  and segment register updates.
* Some more minor renaming. Pulled a new function
  remove_page_table_entry() out of unmap_tmap().
* In arch_vm_translation_map_init_post_area() we do now remap the page
  table into the kernel address space, if it was without before. The
  page table might actually be a good application for BAT, though.

957a1b17eb * 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.

c83d9dad1c * platform_allocate_region() has a new boolean parameter "exactAddress"
specifying whether only the exact supplied address is acceptable. If
  false, the address is considered a hint only. It will be picked, if
  available, otherwise a greater address is tried to be acquired, and
  as last resort any address. This feature is only implemented for PPC.
  It is needed since the preferred kernel text base address 0x80000000
  might not be available (and actually isn't on my Mac mini).
* Fixed a bug in the PPC memory management code:
  is_{virtual,physical}_allocated() were checking whether the given
  range was completely contained by an existing range instead of
  checking for intersection. As a consequence we could (and did) allocate
  a range intersecting with already allocated ranges. The kernel segment
  thus overwrote OF memory for instance.
* The ELF loader makes sure that it got both text and data segment of
  the image to be loaded.

The PPC boot loader successfully loads kernel and modules now. Next
comes the hard part, I'm afraid.
