d343041caa VM: make mapping types explicit
Introduce explicit abstractions for different mapping types,
handling the instantiation, forking, pagefaults and freeing of
anonymous memory, direct physical mappings, shared memory and
physically contiguous anonymous memory as separate types, making
region.c more generic.

Also some other genericification like merging the 3 munmap cases
into one.

COW and SMAP safemap code is still implicit in region.c.

2d72cbec41 SYSENTER/SYSCALL support
. add cpufeature detection of both
	. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
	  for call number
	. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
	  has to save it
	. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
	  type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
	  were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
	  is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
	  from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
	  done as some information is missing.
	. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
	  process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
	  is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
	  context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
	  the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
	  will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
	  sigreturn case.
	. override all usage by setting libc_ipc=1

25817b0854 vm: change NO_MEM to a more impossible value
fixes an assert() firing when starting X. thanks to the report by pikpik.

	. NO_MEM was 0, which is actually an existing piece
	  of physical memory. it can't be allocated because it's reserved
	  for bios data (by the kernel), but it can be mapped in (e.g.
	  by X), causing sanity check disaster.
	. NONCONTIGUOUS is also obsolete as all allocations are single-page
	  now, i.e. NONCONTIGUOUS is really the default and only mode.

complete munmap implementation; single-page references made
a general munmap() implementation possible to write cleanly.

	. memory: let the MIOCRAMSIZE ioctl set the imgrd device
	  size (but only to 0)
	. let the ramdisk command set sizes to 0
	. use this command to set /dev/imgrd to 0 after mounting /usr
	  in /etc/rc, so the boot time ramdisk is freed (about 4MB
	  currently)

b3f47f5835 vm: ignore RS pin (pre-allocate) requests for now
. done by RS to reduce/remove dependency on VM for recovery
	. RS has the default stack size of 64MB since the nosegments
	  change, using a huge amount of unused memory to pre-allocate
	. ignore these requests until actually required (i.e. being able
	  to survive VM crashes)

Thanks to pikpik for investigating why RS was so huge.

50e2064049 No more intel/minix segments.
This commit removes all traces of Minix segments (the text/data/stack
memory map abstraction in the kernel) and significance of Intel segments
(hardware segments like CS, DS that add offsets to all addressing before
page table translation). This ultimately simplifies the memory layout
and addressing and makes the same layout possible on non-Intel
architectures.

There are only two types of addresses in the world now: virtual
and physical; even the kernel and processes have the same virtual
address space. Kernel and user processes can be distinguished at a
glance as processes won't use 0xF0000000 and above.

No static pre-allocated memory sizes exist any more.

Changes to booting:
        . The pre_init.c leaves the kernel and modules exactly as
          they were left by the bootloader in physical memory
        . The kernel starts running using physical addressing,
          loaded at a fixed location given in its linker script by the
          bootloader.  All code and data in this phase are linked to
          this fixed low location.
        . It makes a bootstrap pagetable to map itself to a
          fixed high location (also in linker script) and jumps to
          the high address. All code and data then use this high addressing.
        . All code/data symbols linked at the low addresses is prefixed by
          an objcopy step with __k_unpaged_*, so that that code cannot
          reference highly-linked symbols (which aren't valid yet) or vice
          versa (symbols that aren't valid any more).
        . The two addressing modes are separated in the linker script by
          collecting the unpaged_*.o objects and linking them with low
          addresses, and linking the rest high. Some objects are linked
          twice, once low and once high.
        . The bootstrap phase passes a lot of information (e.g. free memory
          list, physical location of the modules, etc.) using the kinfo
          struct.
        . After this bootstrap the low-linked part is freed.
        . The kernel maps in VM into the bootstrap page table so that VM can
          begin executing. Its first job is to make page tables for all other
          boot processes. So VM runs before RS, and RS gets a fully dynamic,
          VM-managed address space. VM gets its privilege info from RS as usual
          but that happens after RS starts running.
        . Both the kernel loading VM and VM organizing boot processes happen
	  using the libexec logic. This removes the last reason for VM to
	  still know much about exec() and vm/exec.c is gone.

Further Implementation:
        . All segments are based at 0 and have a 4 GB limit.
        . The kernel is mapped in at the top of the virtual address
          space so as not to constrain the user processes.
        . Processes do not use segments from the LDT at all; there are
          no segments in the LDT any more, so no LLDT is needed.
        . The Minix segments T/D/S are gone and so none of the
          user-space or in-kernel copy functions use them. The copy
          functions use a process endpoint of NONE to realize it's
          a physical address, virtual otherwise.
        . The umap call only makes sense to translate a virtual address
          to a physical address now.
        . Segments-related calls like newmap and alloc_segments are gone.
        . All segments-related translation in VM is gone (vir2map etc).
        . Initialization in VM is simpler as no moving around is necessary.
        . VM and all other boot processes can be linked wherever they wish
          and will be mapped in at the right location by the kernel and VM
          respectively.

Other changes:
        . The multiboot code is less special: it does not use mb_print
          for its diagnostics any more but uses printf() as normal, saving
          the output into the diagnostics buffer, only printing to the
          screen using the direct print functions if a panic() occurs.
        . The multiboot code uses the flexible 'free memory map list'
          style to receive the list of free memory if available.
        . The kernel determines the memory layout of the processes to
          a degree: it tells VM where the kernel starts and ends and
          where the kernel wants the top of the process to be. VM then
          uses this entire range, i.e. the stack is right at the top,
          and mmap()ped bits of memory are placed below that downwards,
          and the break grows upwards.

Other Consequences:
        . Every process gets its own page table as address spaces
          can't be separated any more by segments.
        . As all segments are 0-based, there is no distinction between
          virtual and linear addresses, nor between userspace and
          kernel addresses.
        . Less work is done when context switching, leading to a net
          performance increase. (8% faster on my machine for 'make servers'.)
	. The layout and configuration of the GDT makes sysenter and syscall
	  possible.

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/)

b91295a8d2 vm: if mmap address is given, try that first
Previously, the mmap address (if given) was merely used as a lower
bound, and then possibly overriden with a hint. Now, the mapping is
first tried at the exact given address. If that fails, the start of
the mmap range is used as lower bound (which is then still overridden
by the hint for efficiency).

This allows two pages to be mapped in at predefined addresses, where
the second address is lower than the first. That was not possible.
