kernel: replace Spleen font with an enlarged version of the original KDL font

Recently we introduced Spleen as a larger font for KDL for high
resolution displays. However, it looks quite different from our original
font. I designed an enlarged version of our original font (designed by
Brian J. Swetland and also found in NewOS, LK and Fuchsia) to use
instead.

Framebuffer console: Add spleen font (12x24)

Use this larger font when the screen resolution is large (more than
1920x1080 in both directions). The usual font is too small and not easy
to read on such high resolution displays.

kernel: Add core dump facility

* Add function core_dump_write_core_file(). It writes a core file for
the current thread's team. The file format is similar to that of
other OSs (i.e. ELF with PT_LOAD segments and a PT_NOTE segment), but
most of the notes are Haiku specific (infos for team, areas, images,
threads). More data will probably need to be added.
* Add team flag TEAM_FLAG_DUMP_CORE, thread flag
THREAD_FLAGS_TRAP_FOR_CORE_DUMP, and Team property coreDumpCondition,
a condition variable available while a core dump is progress. A
thread that finds its flag THREAD_FLAGS_TRAP_FOR_CORE_DUMP set before
exiting the kernel to userland calls core_dump_trap_thread(), which
blocks on the condition variable until the core dump has finished. We
need the team's threads to stop so we can get their CPU state (and
have a generally unchanging team state while writing the core file).
* Add user debugger message B_DEBUG_WRITE_CORE_FILE. It causes
core_dump_write_core_file() to be called for the team.
* Dumping core as an immediate effect of a terminal signal has not been
implemented yet, but that should be fairly straight forward.

# 89294b50 26-Aug-2009 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Added option for enabling serial debug output.
* Moved device_manager/settings.cpp to debug/safemode_settings.cpp.
* Removed the somewhat hacky concatenation of kernel settings and safemode
settings in the boot loader. Instead, get_safemode_option() will now fall
back to the kernel settings, if it couldn't spot a setting in the safemode
settings. This allows for more control, and also makes enabling serial
debug output actually work (ie. overriding the kernel settings via safemode
options).
* Adjusted debug_init_post_vm(), and smp_init_other_cpus() to use
get_safemode_boolean().
* Therefore, I added safemode_settings.cpp to the boot loader as well.

# b0f12d64 23-Jun-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Added transparent software breakpoint support for user debuggers:
* The bulk of the work -- i.e. juggling the software and hardware breakpoints,
watchpoints, and memory reads/writes -- is done in the new class
BreakpointManager.
* For the architectures a few capability macros have to be defined, one
pointing to the software breakpoint instruction opcode. Done for x86.
* Some more simplifications in the user debugger code, made possible by the
recently introduced debugger_changed_condition attribute.

# 360d4974 02-Jun-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Replaced the temporary storage used in the kernel debug command parser. We now
have a simple dedicated heap for the kernel debugger with stacked allocation
pools (deleting a pool frees all memory allocated in it). The heap should
eventually be used for all commands that need temporary storage too large for
the stack instead of each using its own static buffer.

# cbcebd33 15-Sep-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Extended the debugger API by sampling-based profiling support. This is
still pretty much work in progress.
* Introduced init_thread_debug_info() which is used instead of
clear_thread_debug_info() when the thread is created. The latter
requires former initialization.
* user_debug_thread_deleted() is now already invoked in thread_exit(),
not in the undertaker.

# a8f9741c 04-Jul-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

* Removed -Wno-unused from all KernelMergeObjects in kernel Jamfiles.
* Fixed most of the warnings resulting from that by removing actually not used
variables or moving declaration into the #IF. Left unused functions there
though, as I wouldn't know if they are supposed to be used again.
* Fixed two statements with no effect (clamping to MAX_ANCILLARY_DATA_LEN in
socket.cpp and unsetting fCounterSem in MessagingService.cpp).
* Some style cleanups.

# d16ddc57 03-Jun-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* The boot loader now passes on its EDID info to the kernel, and that will
be put into a boot_item in frame_buffer_console_init().
* The VESA driver now supports gettings the EDID information as well; this
is necessary now, since the app_server no longer takes over the mode the
boot loader had chosen.
* Note, we might want to do this via vm86 instead in the future, and remove
the kernel part again.

# 73aa393d 31-May-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Introduced pipes in the kernel debugger. The syntax is similar to
pipes in the shell, though the semantics is a little different: The
second command is invoked whenever the first command has written a
complete line. The line is passed as last argument to the second
command. The new command flag B_KDEBUG_PIPE_FINAL_RERUN causes the
second command to be invoked again (with NULL argument) after the
first command is done.
* Added kprintf_unfiltered() and kputs_unfiltered() which bypass the
pipe mechanism and directly print to the bluescreen/serial output.
* Moved most commands from debug.cpp to the new
debug_builtin_commands.cpp.
* B_KDEBUG_DONT_PARSE_ARGUMENTS commands don't get an argument anymore,
if it would consist of white space only.
* Added new debugger command return value B_KDEBUG_ERROR, which
indicates that executing the command failed. This return code will
abort a complete pipe.
* Since debugger commands can nest (i.e. one command can invoke another
one) the setjmp()/longjmp() mechanism to restore the stack after a
page fault in a command needs more than one jump buffer.
* Added abort_debugger_command(), which longjmp()s out of the currently
executed command. This will also abort the current pipe.
* When pagination is enabled pressing "a" will abort the running command
(as opposed to "q" which only disables the blue screen output, but
lets the command continue).
* Added debugger commands:
- "grep" which can be used to filter output by pattern. Removed the
"filter" command and the underlying mechanism that did that before.
- "head" which prints only the first lines of output of another
command.
- "wc" counts lines, words, and characters of another command's
output.

# 6328832f 30-Mar-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Changed get_boot_item() API: it now also can retrieve the size of the boot
item entry.
* The bios_ia32 video platform code now stores the available VESA modes in
the new vesa_modes kernel_args field.
* When configuring a VESA mode via settings file, it's no longer needed to
specify the exact mode - the closest available mode is now used. This should
help with bug #1962.
* frame_buffer_console_init() now also creates a boot_item for the VESA modes
in the kernel_args.
* The VESA accelerant now filters the mode list to only contain modes that
are actually supported.
* Moved non-shared vesa driver data into its own file vesa_private.h.

# 3b4fa166 15-Jan-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* 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.

# 957a1b17 30-Dec-2005 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* 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.

Removed debug/console.c, we no longer need it. frame_buffer_console_init() is now
called by debug_init_post_vm().
Since the availability of a blue screen specific getchar() is static anyway, there
is no need for the sBlueScreenGetChar variable (only the message "only serial input
available" gets lost, but since that is platform specific anyway...).
Hello blue screen! We now have an on-screen KDL, to be enabled by the kernel
setting "bluescreen", just like on BeOS.
The blue screen does not yet support any cursor actions or backspace, though (need
to grab some stuff from our console driver).

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.

bonefish+axeld:
* Implemented an optional tracing layer that can be used in the kernel.
Nice to use if you don't have serial output or need something that doesn't
slow down the system as much.

Implemented syslog support for the kernel debug output. Not fancy at all yet, but
it seems to be working fine.

* 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.

Removed debug/console.c, we no longer need it. frame_buffer_console_init() is now
called by debug_init_post_vm().
Since the availability of a blue screen specific getchar() is static anyway, there
is no need for the sBlueScreenGetChar variable (only the message "only serial input
available" gets lost, but since that is platform specific anyway...).
Hello blue screen! We now have an on-screen KDL, to be enabled by the kernel
setting "bluescreen", just like on BeOS.
The blue screen does not yet support any cursor actions or backspace, though (need
to grab some stuff from our console driver).

This should fix the build after all the kernel/system renaming.
If anything is still broken (and was not before :)), please shout.
