Ingo Weinhold 74785e79db * Added "from" address space parameter to vm_swap_address_space()/
arch_vm_aspace_swap().
* The x86 implementation does now maintain a bit mask per
  vm_translation_map_arch_info indicating on which CPUs the address
  space is active. This allows flush_tmap() to avoid ICI for user
  address spaces when the team isn't currently running on any other CPU.
  In this context ICI is relatively expensive, particularly since we map
  most pages via vm_map_page() and therefore invoke flush_tmap() pretty
  much for every single page.
  This optimization speeds up a "hello world" compilation about 20% on
  my machine (KDEBUG turned off, freshly booted), but interestingly it
  has virtually no effect on the "-j2" haiku build time.

Ingo Weinhold 032ff97fbd When a thread times out on a locking primitive, reschedule only, if the
timed out thread has a higher priority than the currently running one.
Maybe we should even restrict this behavior to realtime threads.

Ingo Weinhold 23884ae025 Introduced a callback field in the thread structure. It can be set in an
interrupt handler and will be executed right before returning from the
interrupt.

Ingo Weinhold cbcebd3330 * 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.

  immediately instead.

Ingo Weinhold 57f2b5a013 * Changed the meaning of the {KERNEL,USER}_STACK_SIZE macros to not
include the guard pages. Adjusted the kernel and boot loader code
  accordingly -- the guard pages size is added/not removed respectively.
  The stack size passed to _kern_spawn_thread() is now the actually usable
  size, and it is no longer possible to specify a size smaller than or
  equal to the guard pages size.
* vm_create_anonymous_area(): Precommit two pages maximum -- a stack with
  only one page usable size obviously doesn't need two pages.

Axel Dörfler 736352dcf5 * Added [un]lock_memory_etc() versions that accept a team_id as first argument.
This allows drivers to lock the memory outside of the original team context.

  been a team_id.
* Removed delete_area_etc() - there is already vm_delete_area() doing the same
  thing.
* Renamed vm_get_address_space_by_id() to vm_get_address_space(), as there is
  no other method of getting an address space.
* Removed erroneous white space.

Ingo Weinhold dc27129332 stippi + bonefish:
* Missing backslash in UPDATE_THREAD_KERNEL_TIME() macro. Caused the
  thread's kernel time never to be updated when the thread left the
  kernel. The time would be added to the user time instead.
* Changed semantics of thread_at_kernel_exit(). It leaves interrupts
  disabled when returning, now. All code using it would disable
  interrupts afterwards anyway, and inbetween the thread could be
  interrupted causing two more time updates (or actually not causing
  them erroneously).
* The code in x86's interrupt handler entry (int_bottom) also checks
  thread::in_kernel now, to determine whether the thread was already
  considered to be in userland. This is necessary since the sysexit
  instruction doesn't reenable interrupts, so that we have to do that
  with the preceeding instruction. Hence an interrupt can occur
  inbetween, which would incorrectly add the interrupt's kernel time
  to the thread's user time.
* For userland threads team_create_thread_start() didn't invoke
  thread_at_kernel_exit() or any equivalent. We do that in 
  arch_thread_enter_userspace() now.

Ingo Weinhold 1c8de8581b * Added optional spinlock contention measurement feature. Enabled when
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.

Ingo Weinhold 9101535322 Added new kernel thread "undertaker" which gets rid of dead thread

a dedicated death stack. We might consider moving more cleanup work to

Ingo Weinhold d648afb8d7 * For each userland team the kernel creates an area in the userland
address space that is fully locked and marked B_KERNEL_AREA. It can
  thus be accessed by the kernel without additional checks.
* For each userland thread we do create a user_thread structure in that
  area. The structure is accessible from userland via TLS, using the
  private get_user_thread() function.
* Introduced private userland functions [un]defer_signals(). They can be
  used to cheaply disable/re-enable signal delivery. They use the
  user_thread::defer_signals/pending_signals fields which are
  checked/updated by the kernel.

  which allow to specify the stack size or the stack to be used for the
  new user thread.

Ingo Weinhold 0c615a01ae * Removed old mutex implementation and renamed cutex to mutex.
* Trivial adjustments of code using mutexes. Mostly removing the
  mutex_init() return value check.
* Added mutex_lock_threads_locked(), which is called with the threads
  spinlock being held. The spinlock is released while waiting, of
  course. This function is useful in cases where the existence of the
  mutex object is ensured by holding the threads spinlock.
* Changed the two instances in the VFS code where an IO context of
  another team needs to be locked to use mutex_lock_threads_locked().
  Before it required a semaphore-based mutex implementation.

Ingo Weinhold 8562499f44 * Introduced a new locking primitive I called "cutex" (sorry for the
name, couldn't resist :-P). It's semantically equivalent to a mutex,
  but doesn't need a semaphore (it uses thread blocking and a simple
  queue instead). Initialization can't fail. In fact it is ready to use
  without initialization when living in the bss segment, also in the
  early boot process. It's as fast as a benaphore in cases of low lock
  contention, and faster otherwise.  Only disadvantage is the higher
  immediate memory footprint of 16 bytes.
* Changed how the "thread" and "threads" debugger commands list the
  objects they are waiting for. Cutexes are also included.

  to disabled shouldn't fail anyway.

Ingo Weinhold 60222c8bac * Made thread_block_with_timeout_lock() more user-friendly. It allows

  condition variable.

2008-04-22 18:32:15 +00:00
Ingo Weinhold b95f6d4710 * Introduced a set of functions (thread_prepare_to_block(),
thread_block(), thread_unblock(),...) that allow a thread to wait for
  something without needing a semaphore or condition variable. It can
  simply block and another thread can unblock it. Supports timeouts and
  interrupting. Both semaphores and condition variables use this
  common mechanism, now.
* Semaphores:
  - Some simplifications due to the thread blocking mechanism.
  - Changed locking order to sem -> thread. It was the other way around
    before and when introducing the wait_for_objects() support I had
    also introduced a situation where the locking was reverse, which
    could potentially cause a dead lock on SMP systems.
  - Instead of queueing thread structures, a semaphore queues
    queued_thread entries now, which are created on the stack. The
    thread::sem structure could thus be removed.
  - Added sem_entry::net_count, which is sem_entry::count plus the
    acquisition count of all waiting threads. This number is needed in
    remove_thread_from_sem() and instead of computing it there we
    maintain it.
  - Fixed remove_thread_from_sem(). It would not unblock threads, if
    the sem count was <= 0.
  - Made sem::last_acquirer unconditional. It is actually needed for
    sem_info::latest_holder. Fixed fill_sem_info() accordingly.
  - Added some optional tracing output, though only via ktrace_printf().
* Condition variables:
  - Could be simplified significantly through the use of the thread
    blocking mechanism. Removed a good deal of unnecessary code.
  - Moved the ConditionVariableEntry "flags" parameter from Wait() to
    Add(), and adjusted all places where condition variables are used
    accordingly.
* snooze() uses thread_block_with_timeout() instead of a semaphore.
* Simplified thread interrupting in the signal and user debugger code.
  Instead of separate functions for threads waiting on a semaphore or
  condititon variable, we only have a single thread_interrupt(), now.

2008-02-21 01:00:14 +00:00
Ingo Weinhold 4048494ce4 axeld + bonefish:
* Implemented automatic syscall restarts:
  - A syscall can indicate that it has been interrupted and can be
    restarted by setting a respective bit in thread::flags. It can
    store parameters it wants to be preserved for the restart in
    thread::syscall_restart::parameters. Another thread::flags bit
    indicates whether it has been restarted.
  - handle_signals() clears the restart flag, if the handled signal
    has a handler function installed and SA_RESTART is not set. Another
    thread flag (THREAD_FLAGS_DONT_RESTART_SYSCALL) can prevent syscalls
    from being restarted, even if they could be (not used yet, but we
    might want to use it in resume_thread(), so that we stay
    behaviorally compatible with BeOS).
  - The architecture specific syscall handler restarts the syscall, if
    the restart flag is set. Implemented for x86 only.
  - Added some support functions in the private <syscall_restart.h> to
    simplify the syscall restart code in the syscalls.
  - Adjusted all syscalls that can potentially be restarted accordingly.
  - _user_ioctl() sets new thread flag THREAD_FLAGS_IOCTL_SYSCALL while
    calling the underlying FS's/driver's hook, so that syscall restarts
    can also be supported there.
* thread_at_kernel_exit() invokes handle_signals() in a loop now, as
  long as the latter indicates that the thread shall be suspended, so
  that after waking up signals received in the meantime will be handled
  before the thread returns to userland. Adjusted handle_signals()
  accordingly -- when encountering a suspending signal we don't check
  for further signals.
* Fixed sigsuspend(): Suspending the thread and rescheduling doesn't
  result in the correct behavior. Instead we employ a temporary
  condition variable and interruptably wait on it. The POSIX test
  suite test passes, now.
* Made the switch_sem[_etc]() behavior on interruption consistent.
  Depending on when the signal arrived (before the call or when already
  waiting) the first semaphore would or wouldn't be released. Now we
  consistently release it.
* Refactored _user_{read,write}[v]() syscalls. Use a common function for
  either pair. The iovec version doesn't fail anymore, if anything could
  be read/written at all. It also checks whether a complete vector
  could be read/written, so that we won't skip data, if the underlying
  FS/driver couldn't read/write more ATM.
* Some refactoring in the x86 syscall handler: The int 99 and sysenter
  handlers use a common subroutine to avoid code duplication.

Michael Lotz 2362422c38 Do not just overwrite the thread state when suspending a thread since this easily causes problems on SMP systems (triggers the panic in the scheduler).

Michael Lotz 6761f5a660 Move the handling of still running threads into scheduler_enqueue_in_run_queue().
This should be in line with all uses of scheduler_enqueue_in_run_queue() and
simplifies a few places where it is used.

Ingo Weinhold 46cb5cfdd3 When a main thread (i.e. a team) dies, we have to send the SIGCHLD to
its parent while still holding the team spinlock. We were racing with
wait_for_child(), since after the child invoked
team_set_job_control_state(), the parent thread could continue as soon
as the team spinlock was released. The SIGCHLD could thus arrive way
later and interrupt another syscall. This could be reproduced with the
compile_bench.sh script from time to time: When interrupted while
waiting for the next subprocess, the gcc frontend would delete a still
needed temporary file.

The whole thing is actually only a problem, because we don't support
automatic syscall restarts yet.

Ingo Weinhold 34b3b26b3b 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).

Ingo Weinhold 92ab20b3a4 Added a list of death_entry's to the teams structure. It stores the
exit status of (non-main) threads of a team. Fixes bug #1644.

Axel Dörfler d4fc2b7db7 * Fixed a bug reported by Ryan: the stack_end pointer of a thread was reported
one too low in comparison with BeOS (ie. the end pointer was inclusive, now
  it's exclusive).
* Moved static functions fill_thread_info(), and {send|receive}_data_etc() to
  the private function section.
