3f38115c7b _MINIX_SYSTEM - fixes for in-minix crossbuild
. define _MINIX_SYSTEM for all system code from minix.service.mk
	. hide some system-level declarations and definitions
	  behind _MINIX_SYSTEM to cleanly fix host tool build problems on
	  Minix (such as: NONE being defined and paddr_t being used but not
	  declared)
	. the similar definition _SYSTEM is unsuitable as it changes the
	  values of errno definitions

84d9c625bf Synchronize on NetBSD-CVS (2013/12/1 12:00:00 UTC)
- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
 - Fix for default mtree style
 - Update libelf
 - Importing libexecinfo
 - Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
 - build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
     This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
     way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
     target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
     printing it on the console.
 - Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
     get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

c3fc9df84a Adding ipc_ prefix to ipc primitives
* Also change _orig to _intr for clarity
 * Cleaned up {IPC,KER}VEC
 * Renamed _minix_kernel_info_struct to get_minix_kerninfo
 * Merged _senda.S into _ipc.S
 * Moved into separate files get_minix_kerninfo and _do_kernel_call
 * Adapted do_kernel_call to follow same _ convention as ipc functions
 * Drop patches in libc/net/send.c and libc/include/namespace.h

95624ae072 Block protocol: add user endpoint to IOCTL request
I/O control requests now come with the endpoint of the user process
that initiated the ioctl(2) call. It is stored in a new BDEV_USER
field, which is an alias for BDEV_FLAGS. The contents of this field
are to be used only in highly specific situations. It should be
preserved (not replaced!) by services that forward IOCTL requests,
and may be set to NONE for service-initiated IOCTL requests.

e7db2d3588 Add fbd -- Faulty Block Device driver
This driver can be loaded as an overlay on top of a real block
device, and can then be used to generate block-level failures for
certain transfer requests. Specifically, a rule-based system allows
the user to introduce (overt and silent) data corruption and errors.

It exposes itself through /dev/fbd, and a file system can be mounted
on top of it. The new fbdctl(8) tool can be used to control the
driver; see ``man fbdctl'' for details. It also comes with a test
set, located in test/fbdtest.

b4d909d415 Split block/character protocols and libdriver
This patch separates the character and block driver communication
protocols. The old character protocol remains the same, but a new
block protocol is introduced. The libdriver library is replaced by
two new libraries: libchardriver and libblockdriver. Their exposed
API, and drivers that use them, have been updated accordingly.
Together, libbdev and libblockdriver now completely abstract away
the message format used by the block protocol. As the memory driver
is both a character and a block device driver, it now implements its
own message loop.

The most important semantic change made to the block protocol is that
it is no longer possible to return both partial results and an error
for a single transfer. This simplifies the interaction between the
caller and the driver, as the I/O vector no longer needs to be copied
back. Also, drivers are now no longer supposed to decide based on the
layout of the I/O vector when a transfer should be cut short. Put
simply, transfers are now supposed to either succeed completely, or
result in an error.

After this patch, the state of the various pieces is as follows:
- block protocol: stable
- libbdev API: stable for synchronous communication
- libblockdriver API: needs slight revision (the drvlib/partition API
  in particular; the threading API will also change shortly)
- character protocol: needs cleanup
- libchardriver API: needs cleanup accordingly
- driver restarts: largely unsupported until endpoint changes are
  reintroduced

As a side effect, this patch eliminates several bugs, hacks, and gcc
-Wall and -W warnings all over the place. It probably introduces a
few new ones, too.

Update warning: this patch changes the protocol between MFS and disk
drivers, so in order to use old/new images, the MFS from the ramdisk
must be used to mount all file systems.

af01bda509 libbdev: initial version
The "bdev" library provides basic primitives for file systems to talk
to block device drivers, hiding the details of the underlying protocol
and interaction model.

This version of libbdev is rather basic. It is planned to support the
following features in the long run:

 - asynchronous requests and replies;
 - recovery support for underlying block drivers;
 - retrying of failed I/O requests.

The commit also changes our block-based file systems (mfs, ext2, isofs)
to make use of libbdev.
