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 'polarity' of the RW bit is inversed on ARM, causing one
of the sanity check compensations to fail. ARM now runs basic
stuff with sanity checks passing.

. make vm tell kernel virtual locations of mappings
. makes _minix_kerninfo feature work
. fix for mappings being larger than what 1 pde can address
(e.g. devices memory requested on arm)
. still requires a special case for devices memory for the
kernel, which has to switch to virtual addressing

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.
Fix warnings about:
. Unused variables
. format mismatch in printf/scanf format string and arguments
. Missing parenthesis around assignment as truth values
. Clang warnings anout unknown GCC pragma
* 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

This patch uses stricter locking for REQ_LINK, REQ_MKDIR, REQ_MKNOD,
REQ_RENAME, REQ_RMDIR, REQ_SLINK and REQ_UNLINK. For all requests, VFS
locks the directory in which we add or remove an inode with VNODE_WRITE.
I.e., the operations have exclusive access to that directory.
Furthermore, REQ_CHOWN, REQ_CHMOD, and REQ_FTRUNC now lock the vmnt
VMNT_READ; VMNT_WRITE was unnecessary.
Because pipes have no file position. VFS maintained (file) offsets into a
buffer internal to PFS and stored them in vnodes for simplicity, mixing
the responsibilities of filp and vnode objects.
With this patch PFS ignores the position field in REQ_READ and REQ_WRITE
requests making VFS' job a lot simpler.
.sync and fsync used unnecessarily restrictive locking type
.fsync violated locking order by obtaining a vmnt lock after a filp lock
.fsync contained a TOCTOU bug
.new_node violated locking rules (didn't upgrade lock upon file creation)
.do_pipe used unnecessarily restrictive locking type
.always lock pipes exclusively; even a read operation might require to do
a write on a vnode object (update pipe size)
.when opening a file with O_TRUNC, upgrade vnode lock when truncating
.utime used unnecessarily restrictive locking type
.path parsing:
.always acquire VMNT_WRITE or VMNT_EXCL on vmnt and downgrade to
VMNT_READ if that was what was actually requested. This prevents the
following deadlock scenario:
thread A:
lock_vmnt(vmp, TLL_READSER);
lock_vnode(vp, TLL_READSER);
upgrade_vmnt_lock(vmp, TLL_WRITE);
thread B:
lock_vmnt(vmp, TLL_READ);
lock_vnode(vp, TLL_READSER);
thread A will be stuck in upgrade_vmnt_lock and thread B is stuck in
lock_vnode. This happens when, for example, thread A tries create a
new node (open.c:new_node) and thread B tries to do eat_path to
change dir (stadir.c:do_chdir). When the path is being resolved, a
vnode is always locked with VNODE_OPCL (TLL_READSER) and then
downgraded to VNODE_READ if read-only is actually requested. Thread
A locks the vmnt with VMNT_WRITE (TLL_READSER) which still allows
VMNT_READ locks. Thread B can't acquire a lock on the vnode because
thread A has it; Thread A can't upgrade its vmnt lock to VMNT_WRITE
(TLL_WRITE) because thread B has a VMNT_READ lock on it.
By serializing vmnt locks during path parsing, thread B can only
acquire a lock on vmp when thread A has completely finished its
operation.

. make vm be able to use malloc() by overriding brk()
and minix_mmap() functions
. phys regions can then be malloc()ed and free()d instead
of being in an avl tree, which is slightly faster
. 'offset' field in phys_region can go too (offset is implied
by position in array) but leads to bigger code changes
new_node makes the assumption that when it does last_dir on a path, a
successive advance would not yield a lock on a vmnt, because last_dir
already locked the vmnt. This is true except when last_dir resolves
to a directory on the parent vmnt of the file that was the result of
advance. For example,
# cd /
# echo foo > home
where home is on a different (sub) partition than / is (default
install). last_dir would resolve to / and advance would resolve to
/home.
With this change, last_dir resolves to the root node on the /home
partition, making the assumption valid again.
. 'anonymous' cache blocks (retrieved with NO_DEV as dev
parameter) were used to implement read()s from holes in
inodes that should return zeroes
. this is an awkward special case in the cache code though
and there's a more direct way to implement the same functionality:
instead of copying from a new, anonymous, zero block, to
the user target buffer, simply sys_safememset the user target
buffer directly. as this was the only use of this feature,
this is all that's needed to simplify the cache code a little.
- CHOOSETRAP define makes impossible to use some common words
like send, receive and notify in any other context, for
instance as members or structures
- any reasonable compiler inlines the static inline functions so
no extra function call overhead is introduced by this change
- this gets us back to the situation before the SYSCALL/SYSENTER
change. It is not perfect, but it used to work and still does.
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"
The VFS/FS protocol does not require the file server to supply a
special device node number in response to a REQ_CREATE request, as
this call creates only regular files. Therefore, VFS should not
erroneously save this piece of information from the REQ_CREATE reply
either.
Upon reboot VFS semi-exits all processes and unmounts the file system.
However, upon unmount, exiting FUSE file systems might need service from
the file system (due to libc). As the FUSE process is halfway the exit
procedure, it doesn't have a valid root directory and working directory.
Trying to do system calls then triggers a sanity check in VFS.
This fix first exits normal processes which should then allow for
unmounting FUSE file systems. Then VFS exits all processes including
File Servers and unmounts the rest of the file system.
There is a deadlock vulnerability when there are no worker threads
available and all of them blocked on a worker thread that's waiting for a
reply from a driver or a reply from an FS that needs to make a back call. In
these cases the deadlock resolver thread should kick in, but didn't in all
cases. Moreover, POSIX calls from File Servers weren't handled properly
anymore, which also could lead to deadlocks.
. also make other out-of-memory conditions less fatal
. add a test case for a user program using all the memory
it can
. remove some diagnostic prints for situations that are normal
when running out of memory so running the test isn't noisy
