Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks. With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically and still keep the time synchronized. In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in the future, a feature known as tickless kernel. The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time (Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide the value. Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments: - the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or "legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to setup HPET. - the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or "nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task will be assigned to periodic timers. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if HPET is disabled. In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT) and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a frequency close to 1000Hz. About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not, we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists, instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC. This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source code: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6 The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform HPET-related operations. The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer, measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Improve time keeping and dramatically reduce interrupt load This implements a number of changes related to time: * If a HPET is present, it is now used only as a system timer, unless the Local APIC timer is used (in which case the HPET timer will not trigger any interrupts at all). * If a HPET is present, the current time can now be as accurate as the chip can be, independently from the system timer. We now query the HPET main counter for the current time in CPU #0's system timer interrupt, and use that as a base line. If a high precision time is queried, that base line is used in combination with quering the HPET timer directly, which should give a much more accurate time stamp at the expense of more overhead. For faster time stamps, the more coarse value based on the last interrupt will be returned. This also means that any missed interrupts should not cause the time to drift. * The default system interrupt rate is reduced to about 250 per second. * Fix calculation of Thread CPU usage by using the amount of ticks they used rather than the number of times a context switch happened. * Implement CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE and use it for most cases where precise timestamps are not needed.

This allows us to use dynamic ticking in the future, a feature known as tickless kernel. The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time (Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide the value. Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments: - the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or "legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to setup HPET. - the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or "nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task will be assigned to periodic timers. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if HPET is disabled. In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT) and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a frequency close to 1000Hz. About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not, we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists, instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC. This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source code: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6 The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform HPET-related operations. The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer, measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Improve time keeping and dramatically reduce interrupt load This implements a number of changes related to time: * If a HPET is present, it is now used only as a system timer, unless the Local APIC timer is used (in which case the HPET timer will not trigger any interrupts at all). * If a HPET is present, the current time can now be as accurate as the chip can be, independently from the system timer. We now query the HPET main counter for the current time in CPU #0's system timer interrupt, and use that as a base line. If a high precision time is queried, that base line is used in combination with quering the HPET timer directly, which should give a much more accurate time stamp at the expense of more overhead. For faster time stamps, the more coarse value based on the last interrupt will be returned. This also means that any missed interrupts should not cause the time to drift. * The default system interrupt rate is reduced to about 250 per second. * Fix calculation of Thread CPU usage by using the amount of ticks they used rather than the number of times a context switch happened. * Implement CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE and use it for most cases where precise timestamps are not needed.

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks. With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically and still keep the time synchronized. In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in the future, a feature known as tickless kernel. The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time (Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide the value. Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments: - the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or "legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to setup HPET. - the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or "nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task will be assigned to periodic timers. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if HPET is disabled. In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT) and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a frequency close to 1000Hz.

Kernel: Fix HPET timer not firing in Bochs * Change the register structures to use the volatile keyword explicitly on the register values. This avoids accidentally omitting it as any access will be guaranteed volatile. * Don't assume we can read/write 64 bit value to the main counter and the comparator. Not all HPET implementations may support this. So, just use 32 bit words to access the registers. This ultimately works around a bug in Bochs 2.6.11 that loses 32 bits of a 64 bit write to a timer's comparator register (it internally writes one half and clears the Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit, and then because it's cleared it fails to write the second half). * Properly calculate the tick duration in calculate_ticks_in_nanoseconds * As per specification, changing the frequency of one periodic timer requires a restart of all periodic timers as it requires the main counter to be reset.

This ultimately works around a bug in Bochs 2.6.11 that loses 32 bits of a 64 bit write to a timer's comparator register (it internally writes one half and clears the Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit, and then because it's cleared it fails to write the second half). * Properly calculate the tick duration in calculate_ticks_in_nanoseconds * As per specification, changing the frequency of one periodic timer requires a restart of all periodic timers as it requires the main counter to be reset.

Kernel: Introduce the new Time management subsystem This new subsystem includes better abstractions of how time will be handled in the OS. We take advantage of the existing RTC timer to aid in keeping time synchronized. This is standing in contrast to how we handled time-keeping in the kernel, where the PIT was responsible for that function in addition to update the scheduler about ticks. With that new advantage, we can easily change the ticking dynamically and still keep the time synchronized. In the process context, we no longer use a fixed declaration of TICKS_PER_SECOND, but we call the TimeManagement singleton class to provide us the right value. This allows us to use dynamic ticking in the future, a feature known as tickless kernel. The scheduler no longer does by himself the calculation of real time (Unix time), and just calls the TimeManagment singleton class to provide the value. Also, we can use 2 new boot arguments: - the "time" boot argument accpets either the value "modern", or "legacy". If "modern" is specified, the time management subsystem will try to setup HPET. Otherwise, for "legacy" value, the time subsystem will revert to use the PIT & RTC, leaving HPET disabled. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to setup HPET. - the "hpet" boot argumet accepts either the value "periodic" or "nonperiodic". If "periodic" is specified, the HPET will scan for periodic timers, and will assert if none are found. If only one is found, that timer will be assigned for the time-keeping task. If more than one is found, both time-keeping task & scheduler-ticking task will be assigned to periodic timers. If this boot argument is not specified, the default pattern is to try to scan for HPET periodic timers. This boot argument has no effect if HPET is disabled. In hardware context, PIT & RealTimeClock classes are merely inheriting from the HardwareTimer class, and they allow to use the old i8254 (PIT) and RTC devices, managing them via IO ports. By default, the RTC will be programmed to a frequency of 1024Hz. The PIT will be programmed to a frequency close to 1000Hz. About HPET, depending if we need to scan for periodic timers or not, we try to set a frequency close to 1000Hz for the time-keeping timer and scheduler-ticking timer. Also, if possible, we try to enable the Legacy replacement feature of the HPET. This feature if exists, instructs the chipset to disconnect both i8254 (PIT) and RTC. This behavior is observable on QEMU, and was verified against the source code: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/ce967e2f33861b0e17753f97fa4527b5943c94b6 The HPETComparator class is inheriting from HardwareTimer class, and is responsible for an individual HPET comparator, which is essentially a timer. Therefore, it needs to call the singleton HPET class to perform HPET-related operations. The new abstraction of Hardware timers brings an opportunity of more new features in the foreseeable future. For example, we can change the callback function of each hardware timer, thus it makes it possible to swap missions between hardware timers, or to allow to use a hardware timer for other temporary missions (e.g. calibrating the LAPIC timer, measuring the CPU frequency, etc).

Kernel: Improve time keeping and dramatically reduce interrupt load This implements a number of changes related to time: * If a HPET is present, it is now used only as a system timer, unless the Local APIC timer is used (in which case the HPET timer will not trigger any interrupts at all). * If a HPET is present, the current time can now be as accurate as the chip can be, independently from the system timer. We now query the HPET main counter for the current time in CPU #0's system timer interrupt, and use that as a base line. If a high precision time is queried, that base line is used in combination with quering the HPET timer directly, which should give a much more accurate time stamp at the expense of more overhead. For faster time stamps, the more coarse value based on the last interrupt will be returned. This also means that any missed interrupts should not cause the time to drift. * The default system interrupt rate is reduced to about 250 per second. * Fix calculation of Thread CPU usage by using the amount of ticks they used rather than the number of times a context switch happened. * Implement CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE and use it for most cases where precise timestamps are not needed.

Kernel: Fix APIC timer calibration to be more accurate We were calibrating it to 260 instead of 250 ticks per second (being off by one for the 1/10th second calibration time), resulting in ticks of only ~3.6 ms instead of ~4ms. This gets us closer to ~4ms, but because the APIC isn't nearly as precise as e.g. HPET, it will only be a best effort. Then, use the higher precision reference timer to more accurately calculate how many ticks we actually get each second. Also the frequency calculation was off, causing a "Frequency too slow" error with VMware. Fixes some problems observed in #5539
