This patch redoes the filesystem code from the FAT driver up to the
clipboard code in onplay.c.
Not every aspect of this is finished therefore it is still "WIP". I
don't wish to do too much at once (haha!). What is left to do is get
dircache back in the sim and find an implementation for the dircache
indicies in the tagcache and playlist code or do something else that
has the same benefit. Leaving these out for now does not make anything
unusable. All the basics are done.
Phone app code should probably get vetted (and app path handling
just plain rewritten as environment expansions); the SDL app and
Android run well.
Main things addressed:
1) Thread safety: There is none right now in the trunk code. Most of
what currently works is luck when multiple threads are involved or
multiple descriptors to the same file are open.
2) POSIX compliance: Many of the functions behave nothing like their
counterparts on a host system. This leads to inconsistent code or very
different behavior from native to hosted. One huge offender was
rename(). Going point by point would fill a book.
3) Actual running RAM usage: Many targets will use less RAM and less
stack space (some more RAM because I upped the number of cache buffers
for large memory). There's very little memory lying fallow in rarely-used
areas (see 'Key core changes' below). Also, all targets may open the same
number of directory streams whereas before those with less than 8MB RAM
were limited to 8, not 12 implying those targets will save slightly
less.
4) Performance: The test_disk plugin shows markedly improved performance,
particularly in the area of (uncached) directory scanning, due partly to
more optimal directory reading and to a better sector cache algorithm.
Uncached times tend to be better while there is a bit of a slowdown in
dircache due to it being a bit heavier of an implementation. It's not
noticeable by a human as far as I can say.
Key core changes:
1) Files and directories share core code and data structures.
2) The filesystem code knows which descriptors refer to same file.
This ensures that changes from one stream are appropriately reflected
in every open descriptor for that file (fileobj_mgr.c).
3) File and directory cache buffers are borrowed from the main sector
cache. This means that when they are not in use by a file, they are not
wasted, but used for the cache. Most of the time, only a few of them
are needed. It also means that adding more file and directory handles
is less expensive. All one must do in ensure a large enough cache to
borrow from.
4) Relative path components are supported and the namespace is unified.
It does not support full relative paths to an implied current directory;
what is does support is use of "." and "..". Adding the former would
not be very difficult. The namespace is unified in the sense that
volumes may be specified several times along with relative parts, e.g.:
"/<0>/foo/../../<1>/bar" :<=> "/<1>/bar".
5) Stack usage is down due to sharing of data, static allocation and
less duplication of strings on the stack. This requires more
serialization than I would like but since the number of threads is
limited to a low number, the tradoff in favor of the stack seems
reasonable.
6) Separates and heirarchicalizes (sic) the SIM and APP filesystem
code. SIM path and volume handling is just like the target. Some
aspects of the APP file code get more straightforward (e.g. no path
hashing is needed).
Dircache:
Deserves its own section. Dircache is new but pays homage to the old.
The old one was not compatible and so it, since it got redone, does
all the stuff it always should have done such as:
1) It may be update and used at any time during the build process.
No longer has one to wait for it to finish building to do basic file
management (create, remove, rename, etc.).
2) It does not need to be either fully scanned or completely disabled;
it can be incomplete (i.e. overfilled, missing paths), still be
of benefit and be correct.
3) Handles mounting and dismounting of individual volumes which means
a full rebuild is not needed just because you pop a new SD card in the
slot. Now, because it reuses its freed entry data, may rebuild only
that volume.
4) Much more fundamental to the file code. When it is built, it is
the keeper of the master file list whether enabled or not ("disabled"
is just a state of the cache). Its must always to ready to be started
and bind all streams opened prior to being enabled.
5) Maintains any short filenames in OEM format which means that it does
not need to be rebuilt when changing the default codepage.
Miscellaneous Compatibility:
1) Update any other code that would otherwise not work such as the
hotswap mounting code in various card drivers.
2) File management: Clipboard needed updating because of the behavioral
changes. Still needs a little more work on some finer points.
3) Remove now-obsolete functionality such as the mutex's "no preempt"
flag (which was only for the prior FAT driver).
4) struct dirinfo uses time_t rather than raw FAT directory entry
time fields. I plan to follow up on genericizing everything there
(i.e. no FAT attributes).
5) unicode.c needed some redoing so that the file code does not try
try to load codepages during a scan, which is actually a problem with
the current code. The default codepage, if any is required, is now
kept in RAM separarately (bufalloced) from codepages specified to
iso_decode() (which must not be bufalloced because the conversion
may be done by playback threads).
Brings with it some additional reusable core code:
1) Revised file functions: Reusable code that does things such as
safe path concatenation and parsing without buffer limitations or
data duplication. Variants that copy or alter the input path may be
based off these.
To do:
1) Put dircache functionality back in the sim. Treating it internally
as a different kind of file system seems the best approach at this
time.
2) Restore use of dircache indexes in the playlist and database or
something effectively the same. Since the cache doesn't have to be
complete in order to be used, not getting a hit on the cache doesn't
unambiguously say if the path exists or not.

Abstracts threading from itself a bit, changes the way its queues are
handled and does type hiding for that as well.
Do alot here due to already required major brain surgery.
Threads may now be on a run queue and a wait queue simultaneously so
that the expired timer only has to wake the thread but not remove it
from the wait queue which simplifies the implicit wake handling.
List formats change for wait queues-- doubly-linked, not circular.
Timeout queue is now singly-linked. The run queue is still circular
as before.
Adds a better thread slot allocator that may keep the slot marked as
used regardless of the thread state. Assists in dumping special tasks
that switch_thread was tasked to perform (blocking tasks).
Deletes alot of code yet surprisingly, gets larger than expected.
Well, I'm not not minding that for the time being-- omlettes and break
a few eggs and all that.

* Seal away private thread and kernel definitions and declarations
into the internal headers in order to better hide internal structure.
* Add a thread-common.c file that keeps shared functions together.
List functions aren't messed with since that's about to be changed to
different ones.
* It is necessary to modify some ARM/PP stuff since GCC was complaining
about constant pool distance and I would rather not force dump it. Just
bl the cache calls in the startup and exit code and let it use veneers
if it must.
* Clean up redundant #includes in relevant areas and reorganize them.
* Expunge useless and dangerous stuff like remove_thread().

CONFIG_STORAGE & STORAGE_HOSTFS allows to use parts of the storage_* API to be
compiled for application targets without compiling storage.c or performing
actually raw storage access. This is primarily to enable application targets to
implement HAVE_MULTIVOMULE/HAVE_HOTSWAP (in a later commit).
SIMULATOR uses the same mechanism without explicitely defining STORAGE_HOSTFS
(how to add a bit to an existing preprocessor token?).

When using variadic macros there's no need for IF_MD2/IF_MV2 to deal

Basically it uses the default SI4700 radio chip driver, the only thing that's different is the I2C access,

* Introduce CONFIG_BATTERY_MEASURE define, to allow targets (application)
to break powermgmt.c's assumption about the ability to read battery voltage.
There's now additionally percentage (android) and remaining time measure
(maemo). No measure at all also works (sdl app). If voltage can't be measured,
then battery_level() is king and it'll be used for power_history and runtime
estimation.
* Implement target's API in the simulator, i.e. _battery_voltage(), so it
doesn't need to implement it's own powermgmt.c and other stubs. Now
the sim behaves much more like a native target, although it still
changes the simulated battery voltage quickly,
* Other changes include include renaming battery_adc_voltage() to
_battery_voltage(), for consistency with the new target functions and
making some of the apps code aware that voltage and runtime estimation
is not always available.

Voltage can be read using as3543 adc (i.e. ascodec api, on this target implemented
via ioctl()). TODO: Look into possibly controlling charging more by re-using
powermgmt-ascodec.c. However, charging seems to be controlled by the kernel,
so may not be needed.
Charger state can be read using /dev/minivet. It allows to differentiate between
wall charger and usb charging, but that's not implemented (is it even worthwhile?)

This allocation can be freed in the buflib debug menu (select it to free).
Doing a another allocation, e.g. by selecting another item in this debug menu
will cause compaction (all allocs move).

This enables the ability to allocate (and free) memory dynamically
without fragmentation, through compaction. This means allocations can move
and fragmentation be reduced. Most changes are preparing Rockbox for this,
which many times means adding a move callback which can temporarily disable
movement when the corresponding code is in a critical section.
For now, the audio buffer allocation has a central role, because it's the one
having allocated most. This buffer is able to shrink itself, for which it
needs to stop playback for a very short moment. For this,
audio_buffer_available() returns the size of the audio buffer which can
possibly be used by other allocations because the audio buffer can shrink.
lastfm scrobbling and timestretch can now be toggled at runtime without
requiring a reboot.

The buflib memory allocator is handle based and can free and
compact, move or resize memory on demand. This allows to effeciently
allocate memory dynamically without an MMU, by avoiding fragmentation
through memory compaction.
This patch adds the buflib library to the core, along with
convinience wrappers to omit the context parameter. Compaction is
not yet enabled, but will be in a later patch. Therefore, this acts as a
replacement for buffer_alloc/buffer_get_buffer() with the benifit of a debug
menu.
See buflib.h for some API documentation.
