c6e6aa8850 mark forked process as such in the kernel p_name
. helps debugging output; you can see the difference
    between parent and child easily (it's sometimes 
    confusing to see an expected endpoint number with
    an unexpected name, i.e. before exec())
  . when processes crash after fork and before exec, it's
    an instant hint that that's what's going on, instead of
    it being the parent (endpoint numbers don't usually convey
    this)
  . name returns to 'normal' after exec(), so *F isn't visible
    normally at all. (Except for for RS which forks apparently.)

fa59fc6eb4 Move shared headers in common/include
Headers that will be shared between old includes and NetBSD-like includes
are moved into common/include tree. They are still copied in /usr/include
in 'make includes', so compilation and programs aren't be affected.

cfc1fe2ead kernel: Use LIBDIR var in Makefile

515e8d075f kernel: limit stacktrace depth to 50.

c9bfb13cdb Kernel keeps information about each cpu
- kernel maintains a cpu_info array which contains various
  information about each cpu as filled when each cpu boots

- the information contains idetification, features etc.

9e01a83636 SMP - reduced TLB flushing
- flush TLB of processes only if the page tables has been changed and
  the page tables of this process are already loaded on this cpu which
  means that there might be stale entries in TLB. Until now SMP was
  always flushing TLB to make sure everything is consistent.

98c93e76d7 Zero no more hardwired as BSP apic id

a1eefc013e single shot timer interrupts fix
- accidentaly this wasn't part of the SMP merge and the implementation
  remained uncomplete with the timer keeping ticking periodically

- APIC timer is set for a signel shot and restarted everytime it
  expires. This way we can keep the AP's trully idle

- the timer is restarted a little later before leaving to userspace

- LAPIC_TIMER_ICR is written before LAPIC_LVTTR so the newest value is
  used

ebbc730fc3 spurious and error interrupt apic handlers
- fixed spurious and error interrupt handlers

- not to hog the system the warning isn't reported every time, just
  once every 100 times, similarly for the spurious PIC interrupts

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

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

d2b56f60da sprofile exports kernel sample entries

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

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.)
