5e57818431 copy_msg_from_user() and copy_msg_to_user()
- copies a mesage from/to userspace without need of translating
  addresses

- the assumption is that the address space is installed, i.e. ldt and
  cr3 are loaded correctly

- if a pagefault or a general protection occurs while copying from
  userland to kernel (or vice versa) and error is returned which gives
  the caller a chance to respond in a proper way

- error happens _only_ because of a wrong user pointer if the function
  is used correctly

- if the prerequisites of the function do no hold, the function will
  most likely fail as the user address becomes random

ad9ba944d1 Early address space switch
- switch_address_space() implements a switch of the user address space
  for the destination process

- this makes memory of this process easily accessible, e.g. a pointer
  valid in the userspace can be used with a little complexity to
  access the process's memory

- the switch does not happed only just before we return to userspace,
  however, it happens right after we know which process we are going
  to schedule. This happens before we start processing the misc flags
  of this process so its memory is available

- if the process becomes not runnable while processing the mics flags
  we pick a new process and we switch the address space again which
  introduces possibly a little bit more overhead, however, it is
  hopefully hidden by reducing the overheads when we actually access
  the memory

b14a86ca5c Sys calls are called ipc calls now
- the syscalls are pretty much just ipc calls, however, sendrec() is
  used to implement system task (sys) calls

- sendrec() won't be used anymore for this, therefore ipc calls will
  become pure ipc calls

8a03d497b8 System task initialization moved to main()
- the system task initialization code does not really need to be part
  of the system task process. An earlier initialization in kernel is
  cleaner as it does not only initialize the syscalls but also irq
  hooks etc.

bdd4f5857f Fixes for truncate system calls:
- VFS: check for negative sizes in all truncate calls
- VFS: update file size after truncating with fcntl(F_FREESP)
- VFS: move pos/len checks for F_FREESP with l_len!=0 from FS to VFS
- MFS: do not zero data block for small files when fully truncating
- MFS: do not write out freed indirect blocks after freeing space
- MFS: make truncate work correctly with differing zone/block sizes
- tests: add new test50 for truncate call family

3bcfb76e45 small asmconv cleanups.
- put asmconv in /usr/bin so it can be invoked without absolute path
 - make it ignore .end in gnu output mode so that it can be invoked
   without '|| true' in the gnu lib makefiles and it doesn't produce the
   messy error message

cca24d06d8 This patch removes the global variables who_p and who_e from the
kernel (sys task).  The main reason is that these would have to become
cpu local variables on SMP.  Once the system task is not a task but a
genuine part of the kernel there is even less reason to have these
extra variables as proc_ptr will already contain all neccessary
information. In addition converting who_e to the process pointer and
back again all the time will be avoided.

Although proc_ptr will contain all important information, accessing it
as a cpu local variable will be fairly expensive, hence the value
would be assigned to some on stack local variable. Therefore it is
better to add the 'caller' argument to the syscall handlers to pass
the value on stack anyway. It also clearly denotes on who's behalf is
the syscall being executed.

This patch also ANSIfies the syscall function headers.

Last but not least, it also fixes a potential bug in virtual_copy_f()
in case the check is disabled. So far the function in case of a
failure could possible reuse an old who_p in case this function had
not been called from the system task.

virtual_copy_f() takes the caller as a parameter too. In case the
checking is disabled, the caller must be NULL and non NULL if it is
enabled as we must be able to suspend the caller.

477b616fe8 Fixed a number of complaints about missing return statements.
Some cases were fixed by declaring the function void, others were fixed
by adding a return <value> statement, thereby avoiding potentially
incorrect behavior (usually in error handling).
Some enum correctness in boot.c.
