1f5841c8ed Basic System Event Framework (SEF) with ping and live update.
SYSLIB CHANGES:
- SEF must be used by every system process and is thereby part of the system
library.
- The framework provides a receive() interface (sef_receive) for system
processes to automatically catch known system even messages and process them.
- SEF provides a default behavior for each type of system event, but allows
system processes to register callbacks to override the default behavior.
- Custom (local to the process) or predefined (provided by SEF) callback
implementations can be registered to SEF.
- SEF currently includes support for 2 types of system events:
  1. SEF Ping. The event occurs every time RS sends a ping to figure out
  whether a system process is still alive. The default callback implementation
  provided by SEF is to notify RS back to let it know the process is alive
  and kicking.
  2. SEF Live update. The event occurs every time RS sends a prepare to update
  message to let a system process know an update is available and to prepare
  for it. The live update support is very basic for now. SEF only deals with
  verifying if the prepare state can be supported by the process, dumping the
  state for debugging purposes, and providing an event-driven programming
  model to the process to react to state changes check-in when ready to update.
- SEF should be extended in the future to integrate support for more types of
system events. Ideally, all the cross-cutting concerns should be integrated into
SEF to avoid duplicating code and ease extensibility. Examples include:
  * PM notify messages primarily used at shutdown.
  * SYSTEM notify messages primarily used for signals.
  * CLOCK notify messages used for system alarms.
  * Debug messages. IS could still be in charge of fkey handling but would
  forward the debug message to the target process (e.g. PM, if the user
  requested debug information about PM). SEF would then catch the message and
  do nothing unless the process has registered an appropriate callback to
  deal with the event. This simplifies the programming model to print debug
  information, avoids duplicating code, and reduces the effort to print
  debug information.

SYSTEM PROCESSES CHANGES:
- Every system process registers SEF callbacks it needs to override the default
system behavior and calls sef_startup() right after being started.
- sef_startup() does almost nothing now, but will be extended in the future to
support callbacks of its own to let RS control and synchronize with every
system process at initialization time.
- Every system process calls sef_receive() now rather than receive() directly,
to let SEF handle predefined system events.

RS CHANGES:
- RS supports a basic single-component live update protocol now, as follows:
  * When an update command is issued (via "service update *"), RS notifies the
  target system process to prepare for a specific update state.
  * If the process doesn't respond back in time, the update is aborted.
  * When the process responds back, RS kills it and marks it for refreshing.
  * The process is then automatically restarted as for a buggy process and can
  start running again.
  * Live update is currently prototyped as a controlled failure.

e090013056 Drivers and servers are simply known as services.
/etc CHANGES:
- /etc/drivers.conf has been renamed to /etc/system.conf. Every entry in 
the file is now marked as "service" rather than driver.
- user "service" has been added to password file /etc/passwd.
- docs/UPDATING updated accordingly, as well as every other mention to the old
drivers.conf in the system.

RS CHANGES:
- No more distinction between servers and drivers.
- RS_START has been renamed to RS_UP and the old legacy RS_UP and RS_UP_COPY
dropped.
- RS asks PCI to set / remove ACL entries only for services whose ACL properties
have been set. This change eliminates unnecessary warnings.
- Temporarily minimize the risk of potential races at boot time or when starting
a new service. Upcoming changes will eliminate races completely.
- General cleanup.

89bf7bae27 - tty: only report unrecognized scancodes once; forget about
remembering the origin and cursor position as that feature didn't
   really work properly anyway
 - tty: map in video and font memory using a vm call, access it from C,
   thereby eliminating pesky weird segment calls and assembly to access it,
   and unbreaks loadfont (Roman Ignatov)
 - bios_wini: fix bios_wini by allocating a <1MB buffers for it
 - memory: preallocate ramdisk, makes it a bit faster (and doesn't
   fail halfway if you allocate a huge one)
 - floppy: use <1MB buffer
 - ramdisk proto: because of the 2x1 page reservations, binaries
   got a little fatter and didn't fit on the ramdisk any more.
   increase it.

b47483433c Added a hack to start binaries from the boot image only. In particular, setting
bin_img=1 in the boot monitor will make sure that during the boot procedure the
mfs binary that is part of the boot image is the only binary that is used to
mount partitions. This is useful when for some reason the mfs binary on disk 
malfunctions, rendering Minix unable to boot. By setting bin_img=1, the binary
on disk is ignored and the binary in the boot image is used instead.

- 'service' now accepts an additional flag -r. -r implies -c. -r instructs RS
  to first look in memory if the binary has already been copied to memory and
  execute that version, instead of loading the binary from disk. For example,
  the first time a MFS is being started it is copied (-c) to memory and
  executed from there. The second time MFS is being started this way, RS will
  look in memory for a previously copied MFS binary and reuse it if it exists.
- The mount and newroot commands now accept an additional flag -i, which
  instructs them to set the MS_REUSE flag in the mount flags.
- The mount system call now supports the MS_REUSE flag and invokes 'service'
  with the -r flag when MS_REUSE is set.
- /etc/rc and the rc script that's included in the boot image check for the
  existence of the bin_img flag in the boot monitor, and invoke mount and 
  newroot with the -i flag accordingly.

9843d7a625 For /dev/mem, map in memory to be copied to memory's own address space
one page at a time, and use safecopies to copy it to the requesting
process.

This lets /dev/mem access the entire physical address space, as the minix
page tables only allow access by default to physical RAM, which breaks
e.g. the VESA X driver in some cases.

b01aff70d2 use servers/inet/mq.[ch] to queue messages using mq_queue() in
libdriver.  at_wini now queues messages it can't handle it receives when
waiting for an interrupt. this way it can do receive(ANY) and timeouts
should be working again (were broken for VFS, as with the advent of VFS,
at_wini could get requests from a filesystem while it was waiting for an
interrupt - as a hack, the receive() was changed to receive(HARDWARE)).

Added mq.c to libdriver, and made libdriver an actual library that
drivers link with -L../libdriver -ldriver. (So adding files, if
necessary, is easier next time.)

6f77685609 Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386,
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.

 . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
   other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
   but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
 . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
 . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
   architecture-independent functions.
 . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
   and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
 . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
   gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
   If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
 . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
   kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
 . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
   know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
   i386.
 . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
 . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
 . fixes for new include files

files deleted:
 . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
 . klib86.s - only for 86

i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
 . mpx386.s (entry point)
 . klib386.s
 . sconst.h
 . exception.c
 . protect.c
 . protect.h
 . i8269.c

3512a86b44 . DS understands publishing and subscribing where keys are in string
form. Subscriptions are regular expressions.
 . different types are stored per key; currently u32 and/or string.
   the same key can be referenced (publish, subscribe, check) as any type.
 . notify()s are sent when subscriptions are triggered (publishing or
   updating of matching keys); optionally, a subscribe flag sends
   updates for all matching keys at subscription time, instead of only
   after updates after subscribing
 . all interfacing to ds is in /usr/src/lib/syslib/ds.c.
 . subscribe is ds_subscribe
   publish functions are ds_publish_<type>
   retrieve functions are ds_retrieve_<type> (one-time retrieval of a value)
   check functions are ds_check_<type> (check for updated key caller
      subscribes to not yet checked for, or ESRCH for none)
 . ramdisk driver updated with new ds interface

e9aabcf2f8 Disabled building rescue driver (no longer needed). Moved allocmem from
library to the memory driver. Always put output from within TTY directly on
the console. Removed second include of driver.h from tty.c. Made tty_inrepcode
bigger. First step to move PM and FS calls that are not regular (API)
system calls out of callnr.h (renumbered them, and removed them from the
table.c files). Imported the Minix-vmd uname implementation. This provides
a more stable ABI than the current implementation. Added a bit of security
checking. Unfortunately not nearly enough to get a secure system. Fixed a
bug related to the sizes of the programs in the image (in PM patch_mem_chunks).
