Also include info about the syscall return type in the
extended_syscall_info structure.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23916 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

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.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23687 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Generate a kernel array kSyscallParametersInfos containing information
about syscall parameters. Particularly interesting is a type_code field
for each parameter. The mechanism isn't very accurate, but we can
classify everything in string, pointer, and integer types.

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/optimization revision
23139 into trunk, with roughly the following changes (for details svn
log the branch):
* The int 99 syscall handler is now fully in assembly.
* Added a sysenter/sysexit handler and use it on Pentiums that support
it (via commpage).
* Got rid of i386_handle_trap(). A bit of functionality was moved into
the assembly handler which now uses a jump table to call C functions
handling the respective interrupt.
* Some optimizations to get user debugger support code out of the
interrupt handling path.
* Introduced a thread::flags fields which allows to skip handling of
rare events (signals, user debug enabling/disabling) on the
common interrupt handling path.
* Got rid of the explicit iframe stack. The iframes can still be
retrieved by iterating through the stack frames.
* Made the commpage an architecture independent feature. It's used for
the real time data stuff (instead of creating a separate area).
* The x86 CPU modules can now provide processor optimized versions for
common functions (currently memcpy() only). They are used in the
kernel and are provided to the userland via commpage entries.
* Introduced build system feature allowing easy use of C structure
member offsets in assembly code.

Changes after merging:
* Fixed merge conflict in src/system/kernel/arch/x86/arch_debug.cpp
(caused by refactoring and introduction of "call" debugger command).

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@10451 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

We automatically generate what information are available from syscalls.h,
which from now on relieves us from the duty to maintain syscalls.S and
syscalls.c manually. Either includes a generated file.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@8699 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

renamed atomic_read() into atomic_get() (since we already have atomic_set(), but not a atomic_write())
renamed user_??? functions into the new _user_??? naming style.
changed implementation of PPC 64 bit atomic functions to use (un)lock_memory()


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@4417 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented new syscalls for 32 and 64 bit atomic operations.
They are only used if the architecture doesn't support them directly.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@4360 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Removed the vm_get_region_info() call and the vm_region_info structure -
they are now replaced by get_area_info() and the area_info structure.
get_area_info() still misses some pieces, though.
Added all missing VM user/kernel syscalls.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@4352 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@4312 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Housekeeping changes and small bug-fixes:
Added new syscall for set_thread_priority().
Replaced the userland syscall snooze_until() with snooze_etc() (the latter
has to be exported to userland and realize snooze() and snooze_until()).
Cleaned the sources - scheduler functions now have the scheduler_ prefix.
Moved signal related stuff into ksignal.h (out of thread.h).
Replaced public kernel API with direct exports (i.e. resume_thread() instead
of thread_resume_thread()).
Removed the thread_create_XXX_thread*() calls, and replaced them with a
BeOS compatible set.
Made some fields of struct thread a bit prettier.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@2569 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added kernel private node_monitor.h header.
Moved definition of "struct io_context" from fd.h to vfs.h.
Introduced new fs/ directory; some cleanups to come.
Added node monitor syscalls.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@2479 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1780 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

replaced sys_kill with general thread-aimed sys_send_signal; cleaned up


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1740 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

reworked snooze to work in function of the newly added (and kernel exported) snooze_etc. Activated libroot counterpart(s).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1723 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

kill now sends the signal to the main thread of a process only. To target a specific thread use the new send_signal syscall. Also added set_alarm.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1662 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added syscalls for the index functions.
Corrected the prototype for fs_rewind_index_dir() (don't copy and paste...)
Also checked in the syscall definitions for the signal stuff to save Angelo
some work.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1562 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added a new write_stat() call to the file descriptor operations.
Renamed sys_read_stat() to sys_read_path_stat() - sys_read_stat() is now
the fd operation.
Removed the sys_write_attr_stat() call because it is no longer needed.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1554 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added syscalls for the attribute VFS calls.
Made some subtle changes to fs_attr.h.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1546 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Moved <types.h> to <sys/types.h>.
Removed dependencies on arch/x86/types.h - this file is not really used
anymore, now. Might prevent compiling on Windows, though.
Replaced "int" with "int32" for the id types.
Removed some stuff from ktypes.h because it didn't belong there.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1120 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented send_data/receive_data/has_data thread syscalls


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@815 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

The fs interface functions should now return a "status_t" rather than an "int".
Added syscalls for, and implemented sys_create_link(), sys_remove_dir().
Implemented link(), unlink(), rmdir().
Fixed the inconsistent path buffer handling in the user|sys vfs functions; the
path buffer is now exactly SYS_MAX_PATH_LEN from userland (incl. terminating
null byte).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@748 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented some more calls in unistd.h.
Replaced the unused syscall for getdtablesize() with one for access().
Implemented sys_access() and added it to the file system interface.
Removed the fs function interface from vfs.h.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@738 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

getdtablesize() no longer needs a syscall.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@667 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

finished implementing get_thread_info, get_next_thread_info, get_team_info, get_next_team_info. New ps command behaving like the BeOS one is here, but doesn't work as libroot seems to crash when loaded at process startup... :/


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@570 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Big commit: Added symlink support to the kernel.
- added needed syscalls to access symlink support from userland
- implemented lstat(), symlink(), and readlink()
- added dev_t to ktypes.h (for now - should be in a public header anyway)
- added symlink support to the "ls" command (now calls lstat() and shows the
link target with the -l option)
- changed the sys_read_stat() call to support symlinks, and updated files
using that function (it gets an extra argument: bool traverseLink)


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@560 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

First round of big changes: the term team has replaced proc all over the kernel, the few kern_* syscalls have been renamed to sys_* for consistency, and other small changes. The ps app is temporarily disabled until get_next_team_info is implemented.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@557 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added the syscalls for sys_open_entry_ref(), sys_create_entry_ref(),
sys_open_dir_entry_ref(), sys_open_dir_node_ref(), sys_create_dir_entry_ref().


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@394 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

adding environmental variables support


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@304 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Next update of the VFS: more posix like open/create; divided create in
sys_create(), and sys_create_dir(), open in sys_open(), and sys_open_dir().
Small cleanups.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@207 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added the syscalls for sys_read_dir(), and sys_rewind_dir().
sys_read_dir() now has a parameter for the maximum number of dirents that
are handled by the upper layer - which is currently 1.
Added a comment in fd.h to ease the location of the sys|user prototypes
of the corresponding functions in fd.c.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@58 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

It is accomplished ...


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@10 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Also include info about the syscall return type in the
extended_syscall_info structure.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23916 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

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.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23687 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Moved <types.h> to <sys/types.h>.
Removed dependencies on arch/x86/types.h - this file is not really used
anymore, now. Might prevent compiling on Windows, though.
Replaced "int" with "int32" for the id types.
Removed some stuff from ktypes.h because it didn't belong there.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@1120 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented send_data/receive_data/has_data thread syscalls


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@815 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

The fs interface functions should now return a "status_t" rather than an "int".
Added syscalls for, and implemented sys_create_link(), sys_remove_dir().
Implemented link(), unlink(), rmdir().
Fixed the inconsistent path buffer handling in the user|sys vfs functions; the
path buffer is now exactly SYS_MAX_PATH_LEN from userland (incl. terminating
null byte).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@748 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Implemented some more calls in unistd.h.
Replaced the unused syscall for getdtablesize() with one for access().
Implemented sys_access() and added it to the file system interface.
Removed the fs function interface from vfs.h.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@738 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

getdtablesize() no longer needs a syscall.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@667 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

finished implementing get_thread_info, get_next_thread_info, get_team_info, get_next_team_info. New ps command behaving like the BeOS one is here, but doesn't work as libroot seems to crash when loaded at process startup... :/

Big commit: Added symlink support to the kernel.
- added needed syscalls to access symlink support from userland
- implemented lstat(), symlink(), and readlink()
- added dev_t to ktypes.h (for now - should be in a public header anyway)
- added symlink support to the "ls" command (now calls lstat() and shows the
link target with the -l option)
- changed the sys_read_stat() call to support symlinks, and updated files
using that function (it gets an extra argument: bool traverseLink)

First round of big changes: the term team has replaced proc all over the kernel, the few kern_* syscalls have been renamed to sys_* for consistency, and other small changes. The ps app is temporarily disabled until get_next_team_info is implemented.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@557 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added the syscalls for sys_open_entry_ref(), sys_create_entry_ref(),
sys_open_dir_entry_ref(), sys_open_dir_node_ref(), sys_create_dir_entry_ref().


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@394 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

adding environmental variables support


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@304 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Next update of the VFS: more posix like open/create; divided create in
sys_create(), and sys_create_dir(), open in sys_open(), and sys_open_dir().
Small cleanups.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@207 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added the syscalls for sys_read_dir(), and sys_rewind_dir().
sys_read_dir() now has a parameter for the maximum number of dirents that
are handled by the upper layer - which is currently 1.
Added a comment in fd.h to ease the location of the sys|user prototypes
of the corresponding functions in fd.c.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@58 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

It is accomplished ...
