. 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/)
1. ack, a.out, minix headers (moved to /usr/include.ack),
minix libc
2. gcc/clang, elf, netbsd headers (moved to /usr/include),
netbsd libc (moved to /usr/lib)
So this obsoletes the /usr/netbsd hierarchy.
No special invocation for netbsd libc necessary - it's always used
for gcc/clang.
