The set of processes to which a SIGKMESS signal is sent whenever new
diagnostics messages are added to the kernel's message buffer, is now
no longer hardcoded. Instead, processes can (un)register themselves
to receive such notifications, by means of sys_diagctl().

* Renamed struct timer to struct minix_timer
* Renamed timer_t to minix_timer_t
* Ensured all the code uses the minix_timer_t typedef
* Removed ifdef around _BSD_TIMER_T
* Removed include/timers.h and merged it into include/minix/timers.h
* Resolved prototype conflict by renaming kernel's (re)set_timer
to (re)set_kernel_timer.

* Removed startup code patches in lib/csu regarding kernel to userland
ABI.
* Aligned stack layout on NetBSD stack layout.
* Generate valid stack pointers instead of offsets by taking into account
_minix_kerninfo->kinfo->user_sp.
* Refactored stack generation, by moving part of execve in two
functions {minix_stack_params(), minix_stack_fill()} and using them
in execve(), rs and vm.
* Changed load offset of rtld (ld.so) to:
execi.args.stack_high - execi.args.stack_size - 0xa00000
which is 10MB below the main executable stack.

On startup determine the board_id based on the board name
passed from u-boot. This code also export "board" for use
by userland using sysenv.
Change-Id: I1064a49497c82b06f50d98650132bc0a7f543568
Export the board variable to userland using sysenv. This
allows rc-scrips to perform device specific initialisation.
The board variable follows the following pattern
[ARCH]-[ARCHVARIANT]-[VENDOR]-[BOARD]-[BOARDVARIANT]
We currently we support the following boards:
X86-I586-GENERIC-GENERIC-GENERIC
ARM-ARMV7-TI-BBXM-GENERIC
ARM-ARMV7-TI-BB-WHITE
ARM-ARMV7-TI-BB-BLACK

. an instruction fetch pagefault generates a prefetch
abort exception, this should also be a source of
a pagefault event
. the saved_lr argument to the C exception handler was
sometimes an address, sometimes a pointer to that address;
the kernel sometimes dereferences it, so it should always be
an in-kernel address, never a userspace address. fix in mpx.S
makes it always a pointer.
. move dumping of all processes over serial out of
the arch-specific arch_system.c
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.

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/

. 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

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().

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

. 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
. only reference single pages in process data structures
to simplify page faults, copy-on-write, etc.
. this breaks the secondary cache for objects that are
not one-page-sized; restored in a next commit
