cf9a4ec79b Kernel: clean up include statements a bit
Coverity was flagging a recursive include between kernel.h and
cpulocals.h. As cpulocals.h also included proc.h, we can move that
include statement into kernel.h, and clean up the source files'
include statements accordingly.

cbcdb838f1 various coverity-inspired fixes
. some strncpy/strcpy to strlcpy conversions
	. new <minix/param.h> to avoid including other minix headers
	  that have colliding definitions with library and commands code,
	  causing parse warnings
	. removed some dead code / assignments

9b6d66c787 SMP - BSP waits until the APs finish their booting
- APs configure local timers

- while configuring local APIC timer the CPUs fiddle with the interrupt
  handlers. As the interrupt table is shared the BSP must not run

62c666566e SMP - We boot APs
- kernel detects CPUs by searching ACPI tables for local apic nodes

- each CPU has its own TSS that points to its own stack. All cpus boot
  on the same boot stack (in sequence) but switch to its private stack
  as soon as they can.

- final booting code in main() placed in bsp_finish_booting() which is
  executed only after the BSP switches to its final stack

- apic functions to send startup interrupts

- assembler functions to handle CPU features not needed for single cpu
  mode like memory barries, HT detection etc.

- new files kernel/smp.[ch], kernel/arch/i386/arch_smp.c and
  kernel/arch/i386/include/arch_smp.h

- 16-bit trampoline code for the APs. It is executed by each AP after
  receiving startup IPIs it brings up the CPUs to 32bit mode and let
  them spin in an infinite loop so they don't do any damage.

- implementation of kernel spinlock

- CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_MAX_CPUS set by the build system

13a0d5fa5e SMP - Cpu local variables
- most global variables carry information which is specific to the
  local CPU and each CPU must have its own copy

- cpu local variable must be declared in cpulocal.h between
  DECLARE_CPULOCAL_START and DECLARE_CPULOCAL_END markers using
  DECLARE_CPULOCAL macro

- to access the cpu local data the provided macros must be used

	get_cpu_var(cpu, name)
	get_cpu_var_ptr(cpu, name)

	get_cpulocal_var(name)
	get_cpulocal_var_ptr(name)

- using this macros makes future changes in the implementation
  possible

- switching to ELF will make the declaration of cpu local data much
  simpler, e.g.

  CPULOCAL int blah;

  anywhere in the kernel source code

9ba760e603 kernel: oxpcie serial card support.
ask to map in oxpcie i/o memory and support serial i/o for it in the
kernel. set oxpcie=<address> in boot monitor (retrieve address using
pci_debug=1 output). (no sanity checking is done on the address
currently.) disabled by default.

The change also contains some other minor cleanup (a new serial.h to set
register info common to UART and the OXPCIe card, in-kernel memory
mapping a little more structured and env_get() to get sysenv variables
without knowing about the params_buffer).

1b56fdb33c Time accounting based on TSC
- as thre are still KERNEL and IDLE entries, time accounting for
  kernel and idle time works the same as for any other process

- everytime we stop accounting for the currently running process,
  kernel or idle, we read the TSC counter and increment the p_cycles
  entry.

- the process cycles inherently include some of the kernel cycles as
  we can stop accounting for the process only after we save its
  context and we start accounting just before we restore its context

- this assumes that the system does not scale the CPU frequency which
  will be true for ... long time ;-)

5efa92f754 NMI watchdog is an awesome feature for debugging locked up kernels.
There is not that much use for it on a single CPU, however, deadlock
between kernel and system task can be delected. Or a runaway loop.

If a kernel gets locked up the timer interrupts don't occure (as all
interrupts are disabled in kernel mode). The only chance is to
interrupt the kernel by a non-maskable interrupt.

This patch generates NMIs using performance counters. It uses the most
widely available performace counters. As the performance counters are 
highly model-specific this patch is not guaranteed to work on every
machine.  Unfortunately this is also true for KVM :-/ On the other
hand adding this feature for other models is not extremely difficult
and the framework makes it hopefully easy enough.

Depending on the frequency of the CPU an NMI is generated at most
about every 0.5s If the cpu's speed is less then 2Ghz it is generated
at most every 1s. In general an NMI is generated much less often as
the performance counter counts down only if the cpu is not idle.
Therefore the overhead of this feature is fairly minimal even if the
load is high.

Uppon detecting that the kernel is locked up the kernel dumps the 
state of the kernel registers and panics.

Local APIC must be enabled for the watchdog to work.

The code is _always_ compiled in, however, it is only enabled if  
watchdog=<non-zero> is set in the boot monitor.

One corner case is serial console debugging. As dumping a lot of stuff
to the serial link may take a lot of time, the watchdog does not 
detect lockups during this time!!! as it would result in too many
false positives. 10 nmi have to be handled before the lockup is
detected. This means something between ~5s to 10s.

Another corner case is that the watchdog is enabled only after the
paging is enabled as it would be pure madness to try to get it right.

8a44a44cb9 Local APIC
- local APIC timer used as the source of time

- PIC is still used as the hw interrupt controller as we don't have
  enough info without ACPI or MPS to set up IO APICs

- remapping of APIC when switching paging on, uses the new mechanism
  to tell VM what phys areas to map in kernel's virtual space

- one more step to SMP

based on code by Arun C.

6f77685609 Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386,
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.

 . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
   other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
   but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
 . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
 . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
   architecture-independent functions.
 . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
   and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
 . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
   gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
   If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
 . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
   kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
 . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
   know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
   i386.
 . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
 . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
 . fixes for new include files

files deleted:
 . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
 . klib86.s - only for 86

i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
 . mpx386.s (entry point)
 . klib386.s
 . sconst.h
 . exception.c
 . protect.c
 . protect.h
 . i8269.c
