debugger expression language. By default it reads a uint32 value.
Another target size (1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes) can be specified in braces
after the "*" (e.g. "*{2}address" for uint16).

* 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.

when a pattern was involved).
* alloc_tracing_buffer() no longer allocates anything when you ask for
a zero byte buffer.
* Fixed warning.

* 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.

now, not the number of entries shown (much more usable this way).
* Added missing license.

though there was nothing to do (if 'diff' was larger than 'needed').
* Improved KDL command output.
* Added debug output to the allocation functions.
* Minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23491 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added function to allocate space in the buffer.
* Dump() now fills a buffer instead of printing its data directly.
* This allows the new "#pattern" argument of the "traced" command to
work. When you're using that, the index of the trace entry is printed
out, too, so that you can then get a full dump around the hits.
* Added an AddDump() method to the AbstractTraceEntry class so that
there is no need to call the inherited function anymore.
* Minor cleanup.

will not accept if the allocator returns NULL and crashes instead
(ie. not compiling in tracing would have crashed if some module tried
to use it).
* Added total entries count to the KDL command output.
* Fixed computing the start index of the KDL command.

* 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.

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).

passes that information on to the kernel. This should fix wrong bytes per row with
certain resolutions and graphics cards.
* The boot loader now recognizes 15 bit modes that are advertised as 16 bit modes.
This should fix wrong colors in 16 bit modes on some cards.
* Reenabled setting MTRR for VESA mode - don't remember why I disabled it, but it
works fine on my test machines.

serial output, and puts it into the new kernel_args::debug_output field.
* syslog_init() will now check if there is anything in kernel_args::debug_output
and will put that into the syslog buffer.
* dump_block() now also prints an offset.
* Fixed warning in mmu.cpp.

the blue screen was initialized - blue_screen_enter() now returns wether
or not it has been initialized already (there will only be serial output
in that case).

dprintf() with the exception that it doesn't write anything to the
syslog. The reason is that syslog_write() releases a semaphore and can
therefore not be invoked when the thread spinlock is held.

to the private VM types are including vm_types.h now.
* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.
* Minor cleanup.

previous variable values anymore.

also works for partial matches (which for example broke "running" and "ready"
when you only entered a part of it).
* Renamed the global args pointer to sArguments.

Reversed arguments in kernel settings file, now you only need to uncomment a line
to get the non-default setting. Explained default setting in comments.

sets a fault handler, so that an invalid memory access while executing
the command (address typos always do the trick :-) won't result in
another KDL session on top of the current one, which wouldn't even be
"cont"able.
All pieces of code setting a fault handler do now save and reset the
previous one, so that e.g. a user_memcpy() in a debugger command doesn't
disturb the mechanism.

{set,clear}_debugger_{break,watch}point(), allowing to set/clear break
and watchpoints for the calling team. When a break/watchpoint is hit,
the team enters the debugger. Handy in situations when the program in
question can't really be started in a debugger (or it would be
complicated to do so). The functions work only as long as no debugger is
installed for the team.
We clear the arch specific team and thread debug infos now, when a new
debugger is installed, thus clearing break- and watchpoints.

- add a kgets() exported func for use by nasty modules =)

action has been set for the signal. If so, it doesn't try to install a
debugger, but simply lets the caller deliver the signal.
Fixes bug #237 (VLC entering the debugger when checking for processor
extensions).
