26de8dd299 change SSIZE_MAX to INT_MAX instead of 32767.
With this change, suggested by Gautam Tirumala, ports for pkgin and
pkg_install are cleaner and so easier to upstream.  Presumably other
ports will be smoother too.

There doesn't seem to be a reason SSIZE_MAX was so small to begin with.

98ddbffe6e dis386 - a disassembler for ack
- it can disassemble object files (dis386o) and executables
    (dis386a)
  - only useful for as long as we still have ack

e2570d9b1b vm: optimisation: avl tree for virtual regions
- regions were preivous stored in a linked list, as 'normally'
    there are just 2 or 3 (text, data, stack), but that's slow
    if lots of regions are made with mmap()

  - measurable performance improvement with gcc and clang

677d80b781 Remove urlget
This patch gets rid of urlget. It's not used for anything now, since pkgin
uses fetch.

68de328ac1 make the asynsend table size NPROCS-dependent.
this is a fix for e.g. the situation where lots of processes die
instantly, and PM has to send an asyn msg for each one to VFS, and
panics if there are too many. there are likely more situations in
which this table should be dependent on the no. of processes.

reported by pikpik on #minix3.

a7072a5e1c Revamp the mthread library and update test59
Before, the 'main thread' of a process was never taken into account anywhere in
the library, causing mutexes not to work properly (and consequently, neither
did the condition variables). For example, if the 'main thread' (that is, the
thread which is started at the beginning of a process; not a spawned thread by
the library) would lock a mutex, it wasn't actually locked.

1786291e32 Watchdog and kernel profiling for AMD
- a different set of MSRs and performance counters is used on AMD

- when initializing NMI watchdog the test for Intel architecture
  performance counters feature only applies to Intel now

- NMI is enabled if the CPU belongs to a family which has the
  performance counters that we use

274fcf8d1f neg64() makes a 64bit integer negative
- neg64(a) == -a

- although we only support 64 bit unsigned arithmetics sometimes it's good to
  have a 2-complement negative number

8eece1c00c CPU type detection
- sometimes the system needs to know precisely on what type of cpu is
  running. The cpu type id detected during arch specific
  initialization and kept in the machine structure for later use.

- as a side-effect the information is exported to userland

ef92583c3a Busy idle loop when profiling
- the Intel architecture cycle counter (performance counter) does not
  count when the CPU is idle therefore we use busy loop instead of
  halting the cpu when there is nothing to schedule

- the downside is that handling interrupts may be accounted as idle
  time if a sample is taken before we get out of the nested trap and
  pick a new process

87c576584d Internal 64M buffer for profiling
- when profiling is compiled in kernel includes a 64M buffer for
  sample

- 64M is the default used by profile tool as its buffer

- when using nmi profiling it is not possible to always copy sample
  stright to userland as the nmi may (and does) happen in bad moments

- reduces sampling overhead as samples are copied out only when
  profiling stops

e63b85a50b NMI sampling
- if profile --nmi kernel uses NMI watchdog based sampling based on
  Intel architecture performance counters

- using NMI makes kernel profiling possible

- watchdog kernel lockup detection is disabled while sampling as we
  may get unpredictable interrupts in kernel and thus possibly many
  false positives

- if watchdog is not enabled at boot time, profiling enables it and
  turns it of again when done

74c5cd7668 The profile utility can set the sprofiling mode
- profile --nmi | --rtc sets the profiling mode

- --rtc is default, uses BIOS RTC, cannot profile kernel the presetted
  frequency values apply

- --nmi is only available in APIC mode as it uses the NMI watchdog, -f
  allows any frequency in Hz

- both modes use compatible data structures

db12229ce3 New profile protocol
- when kernel profiles a process for the first time it saves an entry
  describing the process [endpoint|name]

- every profile sample is only [endpoint|pc]

- profile utility creates a table of endpoint <-> name relations and
  translates endpoints of samples into names and writing out the
  results to comply with the processing tools

- "task" endpoints like KERNEL are negative thus we must cast it to
  unsigned when hashing

82d576c9ca enable_fpu_exception() - only write cr0 if bit isn't already on.
(NMI profiling results indicate this both is relatively expensive and
happens a lot unnecessarily if the fpu is in use.)

a665ae3de1 Userspace scheduling - exporting stats
- contributed by Bjorn Swift

- adds process accounting, for example counting the number of messages
  sent, how often the process was preemted and how much time it spent
  in the run queue. These statistics, along with the current cpu load,
  are sent back to the user-space scheduler in the Out Of Quantum
  message.

- the user-space scheduler may choose to make use of these statistics
  when making scheduling decisions. For isntance the cpu load becomes
  especially useful when scheduling on multiple cores.
