cfb2d7bca5 retire BIOS_SEG and umap_bios
. readbios call is now a physical copy with range check in
	  the kernel call instead of BIOS_SEG+umap_bios
	. requires all access to physical memory in bios range to go
	  through sys_readbios
	. drivers/dpeth: wasn't using it
	. adjusted printer

1e399dd8bd various kernel printing fixes
. remove some call cycles by low-level functions invoking printf(); e.g.
	  send_sig() gets a return value that the caller should check
	. reason: very-early-phase printf() would trigger a printf() causing
	  infinite recursion -> GPF
	. move serial initialization a little earlier so DEBUG_EXTRA works for
	  serial earlier (e.g. its first instance, for "cstart")
	. closes tracker item 583:
	  System Fails to Complete Startup with Verbose 2 and 3 Boot Parameters,
	  reported by Stephen Hatton / pikpik.

70abb127cc Add sys_vumap() kernel call
This new call is a vectored version of sys_umap(). It supports batch
lookups, non-contiguous memory, faulting in memory, and basic access
checks.

remove some old minix-userland-specific stuff

	. /etc/ttytab as a file, and minix-compat function (fftyslot()),
	  replaced by /etc/ttys and new libc functions
	. also remove minix-specific nlist(), cuserid(), fttyslot(), v8 regex
	  functions and <compat/regex.h>
	. and remaining minix-only utilities that use them
	. also unused <compat/pwd.h> and <compat/syslog.h> and

758d788bbe SMP - asyn send SMP safe
- we must not deliver messages from/to unstable address spaces.
  In such a case, we must postpone the delivery. To make sute
  that a process which is expecting an asynchronous message does
  not starve, we must remember that we skipped delivery of some
  messages and we must try to deliver again once the source
  address space is stable again.

8fa95abae4 SMP - fixed usage of stale TLB entries
- when kernel copies from userspace, it must be sure that the TLB
  entries are not stale and thus the referenced memory is correct

- everytime we change a process' address space we set p_stale_tlb
  bits for all CPUs.

- Whenever a cpu finds its bit set when it wants to access the
  process' memory, it refreshes the TLB

- it is more conservative than it needs to be but it has low
  overhead than checking precisely

6e0f3b3bda Split off sys_umap_remote from sys_umap
sys_umap now supports only:
- looking up the physical address of a virtual address in the address space
  of the caller;
- looking up the physical address of a grant for which the caller is the
  grantee.

This is enough for nearly all umap users. The new sys_umap_remote supports
lookups in arbitrary address spaces and grants for arbitrary grantees.

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.)

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.

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

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
  FPU context in the processor registers. We must save it and migrate
  it together with the process.

6513d20744 SMP - Process is stopped when VM modifies the page tables
- RTS_VMINHIBIT flag is used to stop process while VM is fiddling with
  its pagetables

- more generic way of sending synchronous scheduling events among cpus

- do the x-cpu smp sched calls only if the target process is runnable.
  If it is not, it cannot be running and it cannot become runnable
  this CPU holds the BKL

06b6e5624a SMP - Changed prototype of sys_schedule()
- sys_schedule can change only selected values, -1 means that the
  current value should be kept unchanged. For instance we mostly want
  to change the scheduling quantum and priority but we want to keep
  the process at the current cpu

- RS can hand off its processes to scheduler

- service can read the destination cpu from system.conf

- RS can pass the information farther

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
