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.

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.

idea for real-time threads. They could completely hog the CPU in this
case. Thanks to Marcus for investigating!

It now works fine on my P4 system as well :-)
But since the BIOS area is not identity mapped, it might work on fewer systems
than it does in BeOS R5.

on at least one of my systems, it only works on 3 of them...).
* Added APM safemode setting.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@16152 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added a thread priority column to the thread list.
* Added "realtime" command that lists all real-time threads.

* cached_block::parent_data can be NULL in a sub transaction in case the
block wasn't part of the parent transaction (but not in low memory
situations). cache_abort_sub_transaction() and cache_detach_sub_transaction()
didn't account for this, though, ie. the block data could end up
corrupted.
* Renamed cached_block::original in original_data.
* Renamed cached_block::data in current_data.
* Added some comments.

cache_abort_sub_transaction now doesn't crash if parent_cache is NULL (happens in low memory situations)
Axel, please review and fix if needed

* Moved the Open Firmware function platform_get_next_device() from
the boot loader into the kernel (renamed to of_get_next_device()).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@16101 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* BEntry::Remove() now uses _kern_remove_dir() for directories.
* Added fd parameter to _kern_remove_dir().
* Fixed LibBeAdapter's _kern_unlink() to only work on files, and
added _kern_remove_dir() for directories.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@16078 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* exchanged sBlueScreenEnabled and sBlueScreenOutput (so that they better
match the sSerialDebugEnabled and sSyslogDebugEnabled variables).

functions. Weird things could happen due to that. E.g. application crashes when
unloading add-ons.

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).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15952 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
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.

context switches and all FPU registers in an iframe. We might want
to rethink this, though.
The kernel initialization runs to the end now. No boot volume is
found yet, but that is expected.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15908 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
too -- introduced a function ppc_kernel_thread_root() which calls the
three functions (entry, start, exit) in sequence. This brings us well
into the second part of the kernel initialization.
* Replaced stmw/lmw in ppc_context_switch() by individual stwu/lwzu
sequences. The former ones are documented to perform suboptimal on
some architecture implementations.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15904 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
the previous implementation of arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() back in
place (as fallback).

We don't do anything with it yet, though, so the BIOS will probably ignore us since
we are supposed to poll for events.

* 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.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15890 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* In reserve_boot_loader_ranges() we skip ranges that lie without
the kernel address space (we failed and panic()ed before). The
architecture specific code has to deal with those, if they are
of any importance.
* sAvailableMemoryLock.sem was not set to -1 in vm_init() so code
executed after semaphores were available but before the semaphore
was created caused semaphore 0 to be acquired.

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.

and 24 bits the set upper bits were overwriting the upper bits of
the word at the target location (usually something like a branch
instruction).
This is the kind of bug that easily take six hours to find, especially
when working with interrupt code and being convinced that the problem
must be related.
