b984fa41df Revert "print kernel stacktrace for exceptions in kernel"
This reverts commit eff1369cab.

This was in a working branch and I only intended to commit
exception.c. But I committed the exact inverse. Sorry.

7ee78ffb82 kernel: improve exception debug printing
. fold 2 exception-in-kernel cases (pagefault and rest)
	  into 1
	. for exceptions that occur in kernel, don't just print
	  kernel stacktrace (typically that is just the exception
	  handler) but also the stacktrace of when the exception
	  happened

c51cd5fe91 Server/driver protocols: no longer allow third-party copies.
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.

From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:

- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
  when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
  DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
  in DEV_OPEN.

The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.

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.

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

  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

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

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.

5b8b623765 SMP - lazy FPU
- when a process is migrated to a different CPU it may have an active

  it together with the process.

1f89845bb2 SMP - can boot even if some cpus fail to boot
- EBADCPU is returned is scheduler tries to run a process on a CPU
  that either does not exist or isn't booted

- this change was originally meant to deal with stupid cpuid
  instruction which provides totally useless information about
  hyper-threading and MPS which does not deal with ht at all. ACPI
  provides correct information. If ht is turned off it looks like some
  CPUs failed to boot.  Nevertheless this patch may be handy for
  testing/benchmarking in the future.

e4283176ae SMP - Force TLB flush before scheduling a process
- this makes sure that each process always run with updated TLB

- this is the simplest way how to achieve the consistency. As it means
  significant performace degradation when not require, this is nto the
  final solution and will be refined

e2701da5a9 SMP - Single shot local timer
- APIC timer always reprogrammed if expired

- timer tick never happens when in kernel => never immediate return
  from userspace to kernel because of a buffered interrupt

- renamed argument to lapic_set_timer_one_shot()

- removed arch_ prefix from timer functions
