f93afa00e9 Remove MINIXSRCDIR and use NETBSDSRCDIR
NETBSDSRCDIR is used all over the place anyway, and this reduces
our diff with NetBSD a little.

0fb2f83da9 drop from segments physcopy/vircopy invocations
. sys_vircopy always uses D for both src and dst
	. sys_physcopy uses PHYS_SEG if and only if corresponding
	  endpoint is NONE, so we can derive the mode (PHYS_SEG or D)
	  from the endpoint arg in the kernel, dropping the seg args
	. fields in msg still filled in for backwards compatability,
	  using same NONE-logic in the library

2bfeeed885 drop segment from safecopy invocations
. all invocations were S or D, so can safely be dropped
	  to prepare for the segmentless world
	. still assign D to the SCP_SEG field in the message
	  to make previous kernels usable

769af57274 further libexec generalization
. new mode for sys_memset: include process so memset can be
	  done in physical or virtual address space.
	. add a mode to mmap() that lets a process allocate uninitialized
	  memory.
	. this allows an exec()er (RS, VFS, etc.) to request uninitialized
	  memory from VM and selectively clear the ranges that don't come
	  from a file, leaving no uninitialized memory left for the process
	  to see.
	. use callbacks for clearing the process, clearing memory in the
	  process, and copying into the process; so that the libexec code
	  can be used from rs, vfs, and in the future, kernel (to load vm)
	  and vm (to load boot-time processes)

040362e379 exec() cleanup, generalization, improvement
. make exec() callers (i.e. vfs and rs) determine the
	  memory layout by explicitly reserving regions using
	  mmap() calls on behalf of the exec()ing process,
	  i.e. handling all of the exec logic, thereby eliminating
	  all special exec() knowledge from VM.
	. the new procedure is: clear the exec()ing process
	  first, then call third-party mmap()s to reserve memory, then
	  copy the executable file section contents in, all using callbacks
	  tailored to the caller's way of starting an executable
	. i.e. no more explicit EXEC_NEWMEM-style calls in PM or VM
	  as with rigid 2-section arguments
	. this naturally allows generalizing exec() by simply loading
	  all ELF sections
	. drop/merge of lots of duplicate exec() code into libexec
	. not copying the code sections to vfs and into the executable
	  again is a measurable performance improvement (about 3.3% faster
	  for 'make' in src/servers/)

ee4016155e vm: add third-party mmap() mode and PROCCTL
these two functions will be used to support all exec() functionality
going into a single library shared by RS and VFS and exec() knowledge
leaving VM.

	. third-party mmap: allow certain processes (VFS, RS) to
	  do mmap() on behalf of another process
	. PROCCTL: used to free and clear a process' address space

6f374faca5 Add "expected size" parameter to getsysinfo()
This patch provides basic protection against damage resulting from
differently compiled servers blindly copying tables to one another.
In every getsysinfo() call, the caller is provided with the expected
size of the requested data structure. The callee fails the call if
the expected size does not match the data structure's actual size.

a209c3ae12 Fix a ton of compiler warnings
This patch fixes most of current reasons to generate compiler warnings.
The changes consist of:
 - adding missing casts
 - hiding or unhiding function declarations
 - including headers where missing
 - add __UNCONST when assigning a const char * to a char *
 - adding missing return statements
 - changing some types from unsigned to signed, as the code seems to want
   signed ints
 - converting old-style function definitions to current style (i.e.,
   void func(param1, param2) short param1, param2; {...} to
   void func (short param1, short param2) {...})
 - making the compiler silent about signed vs unsigned comparisons. We
   have too many of those in the new libc to fix.

A number of bugs in the test set were fixed. These bugs were never
triggered with our old libc. Consequently, these tests are now forced to
link with the new libc or they will generate errors (in particular tests 43
and 55).

Most changes in NetBSD libc are limited to moving aroudn "#ifndef __minix"
or stuff related to Minix-specific things (code in sys-minix or gen/minix).

02081e4b62 rename mmap() and munmap()
. it's a good extra interface to have but doesn't
	  meet standardised functionality
	. applications (in pkgsrc) find it and expect
	  full functionality the minix mmap doesn't offter
	. on the whole probably better to hide these functions
	  (mmap and friends) until they are grown up; the base system
	  can use the new minix_* names

5da4a0bd56 Move minimal libc from libsys into separate lib.
Now users can choose between libsys, libsys + libminc and
libsys + libc. E.g. PUFFS/FUSE servers need libsys + libc while
old servers can use libsys + libminc.

cc17b27a2b Build NetBSD libc library in world in ELF mode.
3 sets of libraries are built now:
  . ack: all libraries that ack can compile (/usr/lib/i386/)
  . clang+elf: all libraries with minix headers (/usr/lib/)
  . clang+elf: all libraries with netbsd headers (/usr/netbsd/)

Once everything can be compiled with netbsd libraries and headers, the
/usr/netbsd hierarchy will be obsolete and its libraries compiled with
netbsd headers will be installed in /usr/lib, and its headers
in /usr/include. (i.e. minix libc and current minix headers set
will be gone.)

To use the NetBSD libc system (libraries + headers) before
it is the default libc, see:
   http://wiki.minix3.org/en/DevelopersGuide/UsingNetBSDCode
This wiki page also documents the maintenance of the patch
files of minix-specific changes to imported NetBSD code.

Changes in this commit:
  . libsys: Add NBSD compilation and create a safe NBSD-based libc.
  . Port rest of libraries (except libddekit) to new header system.
  . Enable compilation of libddekit with new headers.
  . Enable kernel compilation with new headers.
  . Enable drivers compilation with new headers.
  . Port legacy commands to new headers and libc.
  . Port servers to new headers.
  . Add <sys/sigcontext.h> in compat library.
  . Remove dependency file in tree.
  . Enable compilation of common/lib/libc/atomic in libsys
  . Do not generate RCSID strings in libc.
  . Temporarily disable zoneinfo as they are incompatible with NetBSD format
  . obj-nbsd for .gitignore
  . Procfs: use only integer arithmetic. (Antoine Leca)
  . Increase ramdisk size to create NBSD-based images.
  . Remove INCSYMLINKS handling hack.
  . Add nbsd_include/sys/exec_elf.h
  . Enable ELF compilation with NBSD libc.
  . Add 'make nbsdsrc' in tools to download reference NetBSD sources.
  . Automate minix-port.patch creation.
  . Avoid using fstavfs() as it is *extremely* slow and unneeded.
  . Set err() as PRIVATE to avoid name clash with libc.
  . [NBSD] servers/vm: remove compilation warnings.
  . u32 is not a long in NBSD headers.
  . UPDATING info on netbsd hierarchy
  . commands fixes for netbsd libc

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.

c51cd5fe91 Server/driver protocols: no longer allow third-party copies.
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.

From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:

- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
  when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
  DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
  in DEV_OPEN.

The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.

2cde22ee10 Enable a process to find out what the error code was when delivery of an
asynchronous message resulted in an error.

The model here is that:
 - Iff a sender wishes to be notified, the sender MUST check for errors
   BEFORE sending another asynchronous message.

The reason is that in order to remember the error code, we can't clean up
the message table and hence we risk running out of table space. This is
less of a problem when the sender enables notifications only for errors.

68de328ac1 make the asynsend table size NPROCS-dependent.
this is a fix for e.g. the situation where lots of processes die
instantly, and PM has to send an asyn msg for each one to VFS, and
panics if there are too many. there are likely more situations in
which this table should be dependent on the no. of processes.

74c5cd7668 The profile utility can set the sprofiling mode
- profile --nmi | --rtc sets the profiling mode

- --rtc is default, uses BIOS RTC, cannot profile kernel the presetted
  frequency values apply

- --nmi is only available in APIC mode as it uses the NMI watchdog, -f
  allows any frequency in Hz

- both modes use compatible data structures

06b6e5624a SMP - Changed prototype of sys_schedule()
- sys_schedule can change only selected values, -1 means that the

  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
