bd3cde4571 Move primary cache code to libminixfs.
Add primary cache management feature to libminixfs as mfs and ext2
currently do separately, remove cache code from mfs and ext2, and make
them use the libminixfs interface. This makes all fields of the buf
struct private to libminixfs and FS clients aren't supposed to access
them at all. Only the opaque 'void *data' field (the FS block contents,
used to be called bp) is to be accessed by the FS client.

The main purpose is to implement the interface to the 2ndary vm cache
just once, get rid of some code duplication, and add a little
abstraction to reduce the code inertia of the whole caching business.

Some minor sanity checking and prohibition done by mfs in this code
as removed from the generic primary cache code as a result:
        - checking all inodes are not in use when allocating/resizing
          the cache
        - checking readonly filesystems aren't written to
        - checking the superblock isn't written to on mounted filesystems

The minixfslib code relies on fs_blockstats() in the client filesystem to
return some FS usage information.

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.

e35c4f78d2 VFS: fix check_bsf() locking
The check_bsf() macro uses assert(mutex_trylock(&bsf_lock)) and
assumes bsf_lock is locked afterwards. This breaks when compiling
with NOASSERTS="yes". Also: macro to function transition.

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.

992799b91f VFS: make all IPC asynchronous
By decoupling synchronous drivers from VFS, we are a big step closer to
supporting driver crashes under all circumstances. That is, VFS can't
become stuck on IPC with a synchronous driver (e.g., INET) and can
recover from crashing block drivers during open/close/ioctl or during
communication with an FS.

In order to maintain serialized communication with a synchronous driver,
the communication is wrapped by a mutex on a per driver basis (not major
numbers as there can be multiple majors with identical endpoints). Majors
that share a driver endpoint point to a single mutex object.

In order to support crashes from block drivers, the file reopen tactic
had to be changed; first reopen files associated with the crashed
driver, then send the new driver endpoint to FSes. This solves a
deadlock between the FS and the block driver;
  - VFS would send REQ_NEW_DRIVER to an FS, but he FS only receives it
    after retrying the current request to the newly started driver.
  - The block driver would refuse the retried request until all files
    had been reopened.
  - VFS would reopen files only after getting a reply from the initial
    REQ_NEW_DRIVER.

When a character special driver crashes, all associated files have to
be marked invalid and closed (or reopened if flagged as such). However,
they can only be closed if a thread holds exclusive access to it. To
obtain exclusive access, the worker thread (which handles the new driver
endpoint event from DS) schedules a new job to garbage collect invalid
files. This way, we can signal the worker thread that was talking to the
crashed driver and will release exclusive access to a file associated
with the crashed driver and prevent the garbage collecting worker thread
from dead locking on that file.

Also, when a character special driver crashes, RS will unmap the driver
and remap it upon restart. During unmapping, associated files are marked
invalid instead of waiting for an endpoint up event from DS, as that
event might come later than new read/write/select requests and thus
cause confusion in the freshly started driver.

When locking a filp, the usage counters are no longer checked. The usage
counter can legally go down to zero during filp invalidation while there
are locks pending.

DS events are handled by a separate worker thread instead of the main
thread as reopening files could lead to another crash and a stuck thread.
An additional worker thread is then necessary to unlock it.

Finally, with everything asynchronous a race condition in do_select
surfaced. A select entry was only marked in use after succesfully sending
initial select requests to drivers and having to wait. When multiple
select() calls were handled there was opportunity that these entries
were overwritten. This had as effect that some select results were
ignored (and select() remained blocking instead if returning) or do_select
tried to access filps that were not present (because thrown away by
secondary select()). This bug manifested itself with sendrecs, but was
very hard to reproduce. However, it became awfully easy to trigger with
asynsends only.

373cb6526c IPC server: do not loop to find syscall handler
Instead of using a loop to find a matching ipc (inter process
communication) system call type, the offset in the call table can be
simply calculated in constant time.

Also, when the interprocess communication server receives an ipc
system call from a process, ipc should tell VM to watch the process
only once. This patch fixes that also.

(Patch and commit message slightly edited by committer.)

66dbf73049 VFS: fix locking bug in clone_opcl

unlocked in clone_opcl. By first obtaining and locking a new vnode this
situation is prevented; if there are no free vnodes, common_open will
unlock a still locked vnode.

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.

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

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/)

41b869d4d6 drop aout support
justification: soon we won't be able to execute sep I&D aouts at
all (because of the vanishing segments), which was the default mode
to generate them so most binaries will be sep I&D.

this makes the vfs/rs exec() unification work simpler.

after unification, common I&D aout could be added back quite simply.

	  do mmap() on behalf of another process
	. PROCCTL: used to free and clear a process' address space

0c11190cdc MFS: reimplement block clean marking fix
MFS' get_block() must never return a newly acquired block buffer that
is marked dirty from previous use. This patch replaces git-dd59d50,
which assumed a working model where blocks for device NO_DEV would
never be dirty. For at least one scenario, that assumption does not
hold, triggering superblock overwrite warnings. In this patch, blocks
are explicitly marked as clean upon being repurposed. The working
model is now restored to be: the dirty state of a block is relevant
only when its associated device is not set to NO_DEV.

26f817243b VFS: reimplement truncate mtime/ctime fix
POSIX mandates that a file's modification and change time be left
untouched upon truncate/ftruncate iff the file size does not change.
However, an open(O_TRUNC) call must always update the modification and
change time of the file, even if it was already zero-sized. VFS uses
the file systems' truncate call to implement O_TRUNC. This patch
replaces git-255ae85, which did not take into account the open case.
The size check is now moved into VFS, so that individual file systems
need not check for this case anymore.

093c949274 procfs: fix rare panic in add_inode
Previously, procfs would consider all processes that have a non-free
kernel slot *or* an in-use PM slot. However, since AVFS, a non-free
kernel slot does not imply an in-use PM slot. As a result, procfs
may use PM slots that have a zero PID value. If two such entries are
present in the retrieved PM table, procfs would try to add two inodes
with the same name "0", triggering an assertion in vtreefs.

This patch makes procfs consider only the PM slot for (non-task)
processes.

26ec619a30 VFS: fix filp reuse race
Pipes consist of two filps (read filp and write filp) and a shared
vnode. When the writer leaves the filp reference count drops to
zero and subsequent find_filp()s should not find the filp when a
reader looks for it and the reader gets EOF. However, the pipe()
system call tries to find two filps, marks them in use, and only
after a successful node creation on PFS, overwrites the shared
vnode with the new vnode. Consequently, this leaves a small window
where a just closed 'pipe write filp' gets reused and marked as
present, before becoming the actual new 'pipe write filp' for a new
pipe. A reader for the old pipe will think a writer is present and
wait for that writer to write something or to leave; both actions
should revive the suspended reader. This will never happen and the
reader will be stuck forever.

91a38b6d4e VFS: fix dead lock
When running out of worker threads to handle device replies a dead
lock resolver thread is used. However, it was only used for FS
endpoints; it is now used for "system processes" (drivers and FS
endpoints). Also, drivers were marked as system process when they
were not "forced" to map (i.e., mapping was done before endpoint was
alive).
