For dynamically linked executables, the interpreter is passed a
file descriptor of the binary being executed. To this end, VFS
opens the target executable, but opening the file fails if it is
not readable, even when it is executable. With this patch, when
opening the executable, it verifies the X bit rather than the R
bit on the file, thus allowing the execution of dynamically
linked binaries that are executable but not readable.
Add test86 to verify correctness.

- The lmfs_get_block*(3) API calls may now return an error. The idea
is to encourage a next generation of file system services to do a
better job at dealing with block read errors than the MFS-derived
implementations do. These existing file systems have been changed
to panic immediately upon getting a block read error, in order to
let unchecked errors cause corruption. Note that libbdev already
retries failing I/O operations a few times first.
- The libminixfs block device I/O module (bio.c) now deals properly
with end-of-file conditions on block devices. Since a device or
partition size may not be a multiple of the root file system's block
size, support for partial block retrival has been added, with a new
internal lmfs_get_partial_block(3) call. A new test program,
test85, tests the new handling of EOF conditions when reading,
writing, and memory-mapping a block device.

This patch changes the libminixfs API and implementation such that the
library is at all times aware of how many total and used blocks there
are in the file system. This removes the last upcall of libminixfs
into file systems (fs_blockstats). In the process, make this part of
the libminixfs API a little prettier and more robust. Change file
systems accordingly. Since this change only adds to MFS being unable
to deal with zones and blocks having different sizes, fail to mount
such file systems immediately rather than triggering an assert later.

When VM asks a file system to provide a block to satisfy a page fault
on a file memory mapping, the file system previously had no way to
inform VM that the block is a hole, since there is no corresponding
block on the underlying device. To work around this, MFS and ext2
would actually allocate a block for the hole when asked by VM, which
not only defeats the point of holes in the first place, but also does
not work on read-only file systems. With this patch, a new libminixfs
call allows the file system to inform VM about holes. This issue does
raise the question as to whether the VM cache is using the right data
structures, since there are now two places where we have to fake a
device offset. This will have to be revisited in the future.
The patch changes file systems accordingly, and adds a test to test74.

This patch employs one solution to resolve two independent but related
issues. Both issues are the result of one fundamental aspect of the
way VM's memory mapping works: VM uses its cache to map in blocks for
memory-mapped file regions, and for blocks already in the VM cache, VM
does not go to the file system before mapping them in. To preserve
consistency between the FS and VM caches, VM relies on being informed
about all updates to file contents through the block cache. The two
issues are both the result of VM not being properly informed about
such updates:
1. Once a file system provides libminixfs with an inode association
(inode number + inode offset) for a disk block, this association
is not broken until a new inode association is provided for it.
If a block is freed and reallocated as a metadata (non-inode)
block, its old association is maintained, and may be supplied to
VM's secondary cache. Due to reuse of inodes, it is possible
that the same inode association becomes valid for an actual file
block again. In that case, when that new file is memory-mapped,
under certain circumstances, VM may end up using the metadata
block to satisfy a page fault on the file, due to the stale inode
association. The result is a corrupted memory mapping, with the
application seeing data other than the current file contents
mapped in at the file block.
2. When a hole is created in a file, the underlying block is freed
from the device, but VM is not informed of this update, and thus,
if VM's cache contains the block with its previous inode
association, this block will remain there. As a result, if an
application subsequently memory-maps the file, VM will map in the
old block at the position of the hole, rather than an all-zeroes
block. Thus, again, the result is a corrupted memory mapping.
This patch resolves both issues by making the file system inform the
minixfs library about blocks being freed, so that libminixfs can
break the inode association for that block, both in its own cache and
in the VM cache. Since libminixfs does not know whether VM has the
block in its cache or not, it makes a call to VM for each block being
freed. Thus, this change introduces more calls to VM, but it solves
the correctness issues at hand; optimizations may be introduced
later. On the upside, all freed blocks are now marked as clean,
which should result in fewer blocks being written back to the device,
and the blocks are removed from the caches entirely, which should
result in slightly better cache usage.
This patch is necessary but not sufficient to resolve the situation
with respect to memory mapping of file holes in general. Therefore,
this patch extends test 74 with a (rather particular but effective)
test for the first issue, but not yet with a test for the second one.
This fixes#90.

These new tests are largely based on the code from test 56 (UDS). Common code
is moved into a separate file common-socket.c. In some instances the tests
are too strict for TCP/UDP sockets, which may not always react instantly to
whatever happens on the other side (even locally). For these cases, the
ignore_* fields in struct socket_test_info indicate that there needs to be
an exception. There are also tests where it seems the functionality of inet
is either incorrect or incomplete with regard to the POSIX standard. In these
cases, the bug_* fields are used to document the issues while avoiding
failure of the test.

This patch adds support for Unix98 pseudo terminals, that is,
posix_openpt(3), grantpt(3), unlockpt(3), /dev/ptmx, and /dev/pts/.
The latter is implemented with a new pseudo file system, PTYFS.
In effect, this patch adds secure support for unprivileged pseudo
terminal allocation, allowing programs such as tmux(1) to be used by
non-root users as well. Test77 has been extended with new tests, and
no longer needs to run as root.
The new functionality is optional. To revert to the old behavior,
remove the "ptyfs" entry from /etc/fstab.
Technical nodes:
o The reason for not implementing the NetBSD /dev/ptm approach is that
implementing the corresponding ioctl (TIOCPTMGET) would require
adding a number of extremely hairy exceptions to VFS, including the
PTY driver having to create new file descriptors for its own device
nodes.
o PTYFS is required for Unix98 PTYs in order to avoid that the PTY
driver has to be aware of old-style PTY naming schemes and even has
to call chmod(2) on a disk-backed file system. PTY cannot be its
own PTYFS since a character driver may currently not also be a file
system. However, PTYFS may be subsumed into a DEVFS in the future.
o The Unix98 PTY behavior differs somewhat from NetBSD's, in that
slave nodes are created on ptyfs only upon the first call to
grantpt(3). This approach obviates the need to revoke access as
part of the grantpt(3) call.
o Shutting down PTY may leave slave nodes on PTYFS, but once PTY is
restarted, these leftover slave nodes will be removed before they
create a security risk. Unmounting PTYFS will make existing PTY
slaves permanently unavailable, and absence of PTYFS will block
allocation of new Unix98 PTYs until PTYFS is (re)mounted.

This patch fixes two related issues:
- If a large (>PIPE_BUF) pipe write is processed partially, only to be
followed by a write error condition, then the process is left in an
incorrect state, possibly causing VFS to crash on a subsequent call.
- If such a partially processed large pipe write ends up resulting in
an EPIPE error, no corresponding SIGPIPE signal is generated.
The corrected behavior is tested in test68.

The original one-shot page patch (git-e321f65) did not account for the
possibility of pagefaults happening while copying memory in the
kernel. This allowed a simple cp(1) from vbfs to hang the system,
since VM was repeatedly requesting the same page from the file system.
With this fix, VM no longer tries to fetch the same memory-mapped page
from VFS more than once per memory handling request from the kernel.
In addition to fixing the original issue, this change should make
handling memory somewhat more robust and ever-so-slightly faster.
Test74 has been extended with a simple test for this case.

- Expose in procfs the service status and supported recovery policies.
- This adds a test (testrelpol.sh) to exercise the restart policies of

NOTE:
The policy support information is temporarily hardcoded in ProcFS, but
this has to be replaced by properly retrieving this information from
RS, which should in turn be setup on a per service basis, at
initialization time.

This patch adds (very limited) support for memory-mapping pages on
file systems that are mounted on the special "none" device and that
do not implement PEEK support by themselves. This includes hgfs,
vbfs, and procfs.
The solution is implemented in libvtreefs, and consists of allocating
pages, filling them with content by calling the file system's READ
functionality, passing the pages to VM, and freeing them again. A new
VM flag is used to indicate that these pages should be mapped in only
once, and thus not cached beyond their single use. This prevents
stale data from getting mapped in without the involvement of the file
system, which would be problematic on file systems where file contents
may become outdated at any time. No VM caching means no sharing and
poor performance, but mmap no longer fails on these file systems.
Compared to a libc-based approach, this patch retains the on-demand
nature of mmap. Especially tail(1) is known to map in a large file
area only to use a small portion of it.
All file systems now need to be given permission for the SETCACHEPAGE
and CLEARCACHE calls to VM.
A very basic regression test is added to test74.

The minixfs library only ever submits vector elements (and reads) of

elements (and reads) of the file system block size. The resulting
mismatch caused I/O to fail in various ways, even though this did not
have an effect on the actual test.

The remapping from /dev/tty to the real controlling terminal in the
device code was confusing the select code. The latter is now aware
of this case and should handle it properly, at the cost of one extra
field in the filp structure.
There is a nasty, hopefully sufficiently rare case of /dev/tty being
kept open while controlling terminals are changing, that we are still
not handling. Doing so would require more than just a few changes,
but the code should at least detect and cleanly fail on this case.
Test77 now has a basic test set for selecting on /dev/tty.
