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.

8ea438ae93 Retired DEV_{READ,WRITE,GATHER,SCATTER,IOCTL} (safe versions *_S are to
be used and drivers should never receieve these 'unsafe' variants
any more).

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

f877da3aec endpoint migration for drivers.
mostly renaming message field names to the new names.

tty stored process numbers in chars in tty and pty structs - now ints.

c9ab8cce43 Changed minor number of /dev/zero from 6 to 5.
(Make sure to update your system accordingly or /dev/zero won't work.)

74711a3b14 Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.

Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

640eb73ca2 New log driver; buffers messages and makes them available to userland.
Added some fields in the generic device table to support this driver
using libdriver. Updated other drivers to fill these fields with nops
and NULLs.

f2a85e58d9 Various updates.
* Removed some variants of the SYS_GETINFO calls from the kernel;
  replaced them with new PM and utils libary functionality. Fixed
  bugs in utils library that used old get_kenv() variant.
* Implemented a buffer in the kernel to gather random data.
  Memory driver periodically checks this for /dev/random.
  A better random algorithm can now be implemented in the driver.
  Removed SYS_RANDOM; the SYS_GETINFO call is used instead.
* Remove SYS_KMALLOC from the kernel. Memory allocation can now
  be done at the process manager with new 'other' library functions.

6d23f072f3 Cleaned up src/lib/utils library. Renamed server_ functions to more logical
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
