The natural term to use when talking about MINIX big pages on ARM
is SECTION. A section is a level 1 page table entry pointing to
a 1MB area.

In libexec, split the memory allocation method into cleared and
non-cleared. Cleared gives zeroed memory, non-cleared gives 'junk'
memory (that will be overwritten anyway, and so needn't be cleared)
that is faster to get.
Also introduce the 'memmap' method that can be used, if available,
to map code and data from executables into a process using the
third-party mmap() mode.

We used to load the memory driver above the other modules to allow
the memory driver (ramdisk) to grow. We no longer want or need this
this as we have a working mmc driver.
To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.
This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.
. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
from the shell
. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
boot-time ramdisk files
. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
we're running on from sysenv
. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
i386 systems
. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
releasetools/

. phys_copy() (taken from memcpy) can legitimately
cause pagefaults below the source/dest address due
to word-alignment

Interrupts where not correctly masked while in kernel, which
breaks one of the current main assumptions.
Also remove some duplication on ARM asm files, and add a function
to check the status of ARM irqs (not compiled by default)

. the total amount of memory in the system didn't include the memory
used by the boot-time modules and some dynamic allocation by the
kernel at boot time (to map in VM). especially apparent on our
ARM board with 'only' 512MB of memory and a huge ramdisk.
. also: *add* the VM loaded module to the freelist after it has
been allocated for & mapped in instead of cutting it *out* of the
freelist! so we get a few more MB free..

. raise(SIGFPE) for modulo-0/divide-0 operations in
internal int division functions
. gcc: do not link with -lgcc anywhere so these internal
functions are always used from libc instead of (sometimes)
masked by -lgcc
. together fixes test53 on ARM

if an exec() fails partway through reading in the sections, the target
process is already gone and a defunct process remains. sanity checking
the binary beforehand helps that.
test10 mutilates binaries and exec()s them on purpose; making an exec()
fail cleanly in such cases seems like acceptable behaviour.
fixes test10 on ARM.

The Cycle CouNTer on ARM cannot be used reliably as it wraps around
rather quickly and can be altered by user space (on Minix). Furthermore,
it's buggy when wrapping and is not implemented at all on the Linaro
Beagleboard emulator.
This patch programs GPTIMER10 as a free running clock at 1.625 MHz (it
doesn't generate interrupts). It's memory mapped into every process,
which enables libsys to provide micro_delay().

A few kernel and calling convention adjustments to make sigsend and
sigreturn work for arm.
. provide a arch_proc_setcontext for earm in kernel
. set LR in context of signal handler to provide a proper
return address (to __sigreturn)
. change __sigreturn to retrieve the sigcontext pointer
from the sigframe struct and pass it to _sigreturn() in r0
Change-Id: Icd135a70595382c79d11d8dd9876f6a6f1df41f8
Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.
There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
* Updating common/lib
* Updating lib/csu
* Updating lib/libc
* Updating libexec/ld.elf_so
* Corrected test on __minix in featuretest to actually follow the
meaning of the comment.
* Cleaned up _REENTRANT-related defintions.
* Disabled -D_REENTRANT for libfetch
* Removing some unneeded __NBSD_LIBC defines and tests

The GPTIMER1 clock is configured to run at 32 kHz and generate
(overflow) interrupts every 1 ms. However, the Timer Overflow Wrappping
Register (TOWR) was configured to filter every other interrupt. This
caused to the internal 'realtime' value to be off.
. restore state depends on how saving of state was done;
also remember trap style in sig context
. actually set and restore TRACEBIT with new trap styles;
have to remove it once process enters kernel though, done
in debug trap exception handler
. introduce MF_STEP that makes arch-specific code
turn on trace bit instead of setting TRACEBIT directly,
a bit more arch-friendly and avoids keeping precious
state in per-process PSW arch-dependently
state is usually not in p_reg any more with sysenter/syscall trap entries,
so when saving/restarting do_ipc invocations the state has to be remembered
explicitly.
The 'trap style' variable records how a process has trapped into the
kernel (hardware/software interrupt, or one of the other trap
instructions). KTS_NONE indicates the process isn't trapped into the
kernel at all and is useful for sanity checking. The KTS_NONE reset was
inadvertently removed while removing some debugging code and this commit
restores it.
When processes have entered the kernel with one of the new
trap modes, %ebp is not valid, used for stacktraces, so we
need an alternative way to retrieve it to make the stacktraces
valid again.
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
Bumping libc files for unsupported architectures, to simplify merging.
A bunch of small fixes:
* in libutil update
* the macro in endian.h
* some undefined types due to clear separation from host.
* Fix a warning for cdbr.c
Some modification which were required for the new build system:
* inclusion path for const.h in sconst, still hacky
* Removed default malloc.c which conflicts on some occasions.
. Check if we have the right number of boot modules
. Check if the ELF parsing of VM actually succeeded
Both these are root causes of less-than-obvious other
errors/asserts a little further down the line; uncovered
while experimenting with booting by iPXE, specifically
(a) iPXE having a 8-multiboot-modules limit and
(b) trying to boot a gzipped VM.
. 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
