B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.

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.

* The boot splash code now checks wether debug screen output is enabled or not
using the above function.
* The boot splash code no longer maps it's own copy of the frame buffer, instead,
it will use the boot item feature as the VESA driver does. Also removed the
lock, as that's not needed at all.
* Renamed splash.cpp to boot_splash.cpp, and boot/splash.h to boot_splash.h
(it's not part of the boot loader, but the kernel).
* Removed dead code from boot_splash.cpp, added license. Replaced license
header in boot_splash.h to a style guide conforming one.

When specified it desigantes that the interrupt handler should not lock the
vector with a spinlock when executing the installed interrupt handlers. This
is necessary to allow the same interrupt vector to be handled in parallel on
different CPUs. And it is required for the CPU halt to work synchronously when
there is more than one AP CPU. Though the acquire_spinlock() should cause IPIs
to be processed, only this fixed the SMP_MSG_FLAG_SYNC problem for me.
Not locking is safe as long as it is guaranteed that no interrupt handler is
registered or removed while the interrupt handler is running. We can guarantee
this for the SMP interrupt handlers we install in arch_smp_init() as they are
never uninstalled. Probably this flag should be made private though.
Restored the SMP_MSG_FLAG_SYNC when entering the kernel debugger.

* The kernel now opens up to 8 debugger modules (and puts them into an array;
maybe we'll want to switch to a doubly linked list when there is the need).
* Implemented an example debugger module that prints a stack trace of the
current thread when the kernel debugger is entered (not included in the
image).

was a race condition when more than one CPU would enter the debugger at the
same time (or rather before one CPU could stop all the others). We now use the
inDebugger variable to tell if someone is already in the debugger and then
only process inter CPU messages and retry entering the debugger.
Since sending the synchronous broadcast most of the time hung over here with
SMP enabled I removed the synchronous flag and added a simple spin to give the
other CPUs a chance to process the halt request. Added comments that explain
the reasons and a ToDo to revert to synchronous delivery once we fixed the
problem. The kernel debugger is now usable on my quad core.

For commands with this flag set, the parser won't parse the
arguments provided (it will only check for matching parentheses and
brackets), but will pass the unparsed argument list string to the
command instead.
* Set the new flag for the "expr" command, so one doesn't have to quote
the expression to evaluate anymore (or put it in parentheses).
* Fixed tokenizing of quoted and unquoted strings in expression mode.

command usage texts, which can be too long for kprintf().

invoke_debugger_command() is now automatically preceded by
"usage: <command name>", so the string passed to
add_debugger_command_etc() shouldn't contain it anymore.

add_debugger_command(), but additionally takes parameters "usage"
and "flags".
* Added add_debugger_command_alias() which creates another name for an
existing command.
* Added print_debugger_command_usage() to print a command's usage.
* invoke_debugger_command() intercepts invocations with "--help" and
prints the command's usage text, if it is known. If unknown, the
command will be called normally.
* Made use of the new functions in debug.cpp.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23573 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Fixed the usage text of the "help" KDL command.
* Made the "ambiguous command" warning shorter, so that it will still fit in
the exception buffer.

* The kernel debugger does now define some temporary variables when
entered (current thread and team, etc.).

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.

* Don't execute a command anymore, if the given prefix is ambiguous.
* Added tab completion for commands.
* Added on-the-fly help while typing a command line. It is triggered
by pressing tab at a position after the space following the command.
It is implemented by calling the command with argument "--help", which
doesn't work yet with most commands, but some already print their
usage in this case.
