# 370ab57d 23-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Initial userland support for x86_64.

Userland switch is implemented, as is basic system call support (using
SYSCALL/SYSRET). The system call handler is not yet complete: it doesn't
handle more than 6 arguments, and does not perform all the necessary kernel
entry/exit work (neither does the interrupt handler). However, this is
sufficient for runtime_loader to start and print some debug output.


# 24df6592 11-Jun-2011 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Merged signals-merge branch into trunk with the following changes:
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes #5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes #1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes #6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes #5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes #5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes #7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

# 2cf60f90 24-Feb-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Moved the syscall stuff from arch_commpage.cpp to x86_syscalls.{cpp,h}.
* On context switches we do now set the IA32_MSR_SYSENTER_ESP. This saves us
setting esp at the beginning of x86_sysenter(). More importantly when
entering it in single-step mode, this no longer causes a double fault
(cf. #3487). We still don't handle the resulting debug exception correctly,
so that we still get a (continuable) panic().

# fab1c05c 24-Jun-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Split the commpage initialization into two parts. The second part is executed
after all CPUs have been queried for their features. On SMP machines
sysenter/sysexit weren't used before due to the non-boot CPUs appearing not
to have the feature.

Register the commpage as an image and its entries as symbols.

Hi Ingo, I'm not the only one to break the build today :))
gcc4 fix.

# 34b3b26b 10-Jan-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

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).
