. add all sys/sys headers not already present to help compiling
	. take netbsd dirent.h and struct dirent; main result is
	  introducing d_type and d_namlen that have to be set by getdents()
	  in all FS code implementing it
	. d_off is gone
	. alignment of the struct has become 8 bytes instead of 4
	. remove _MAX_BLOCK_SIZE, _MIN_BLOCK_SIZE, _STATIC_BLOCK_SIZE

87337273e4 Remove support for reopening character devices
Previously, VFS would reopen a character device after a driver crash
if the associated file descriptor was opened with the O_REOPEN flag.
This patch removes support for this feature. The code was complex,
full of uncovered corner cases, and hard to test. Moreover, it did not
actually hide the crash from user applications: they would get an
error code to indicate that something went wrong, and have to decide
based on the nature of the underlying device how to continue.

- remove support for O_REOPEN, and make playwave(1) reopen its device;
- remove support for the DEV_REOPEN protocol message;
- remove all code in VFS related to reopening character devices;
- no longer change VFS filp reference count and FD bitmap upon filp
  invalidation; instead, make get_filp* fail all calls on invalidated
  FDs except when obtained with the locktype VNODE_OPCL which is used
  by close_fd only;
- remove the VFS fproc file descriptor bitmap entirely, returning to
  the situation that a FD is in use if its slot points to a filp; use
  FILP_CLOSED as single means of marking a filp as invalidated.

723e51327f VFS: worker thread model overhaul
The main purpose of this patch is to fix handling of unpause calls
from PM while another call is ongoing. The solution to this problem
sparked a full revision of the threading model, consisting of a large
number of related changes:

- all active worker threads are now always associated with a process,
  and every process has at most one active thread working for it;
- the process lock is always held by a process's worker thread;
- a process can now have both normal work and postponed PM work
  associated to it;
- timer expiry and non-postponed PM work is done from the main thread;
- filp garbage collection is done from a thread associated with VFS;
- reboot calls from PM are now done from a thread associated with PM;
- the DS events handler is protected from starting multiple threads;
- support for a system worker thread has been removed;
- the deadlock recovery thread has been replaced by a parameter to the
  worker_start() function; the number of worker threads has
  consequently been increased by one;
- saving and restoring of global but per-thread variables is now
  centralized in worker_suspend() and worker_resume(); err_code is now
  saved and restored in all cases;
- the concept of jobs has been removed, and job_m_in now points to a
  message stored in the worker thread structure instead;
- the PM lock has been removed;
- the separate exec lock has been replaced by a lock on the VM
  process, which was already being locked for exec calls anyway;
- PM_UNPAUSE is now processed as a postponed PM request, from a thread
  associated with the target process;
- the FP_DROP_WORK flag has been removed, since it is no longer more
  than just an optimization and only applied to processes operating on
  a pipe when getting killed;
- assignment to "fp" now takes place only when obtaining new work in
  the main thread or a worker thread, when resuming execution of a
  thread, and in the special case of exiting processes during reboot;
- there are no longer special cases where the yield() call is used to
  force a thread to run.

cfd3379bb1 Removing CSU patches
* 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.

cc810ee4d9 VFS/FS: replace protocol version with flag field
The main motivation for this change is that only Loris supports
multithreading, and Loris supports dynamic thread allocation, so the
number of supported threads can be implemented as a bit flag (i.e.,
either 1 or "at least as many as VFS has"). The ABI break obviates the
need to support file system versioning at this time, and several
other aspects are better implemented as flags as well. Other changes:

- replace peek/bpeek test upon mount with FS flag as well;
- mark libsffs as 64-bit file size capable;
- remove old (3.2.1) getdents support.

33a7ac7557 vfs: mmap support
. libc: add vfs_mmap, a way for vfs to initiate mmap()s.
	  This is a good special case to have as vfs is a slightly
	  different client from regular user processes. It doesn't do it
	  for itself, and has the dev & inode info already so the callback
	  to VFS for the lookup isn't necessary. So it has different info
	  to have to give to VM.
	. libc: also add minix_mmap64() that accepts a 64-bit offset, even
	  though our off_t is still 32 bit now.
	. On exec() time, try to mmap() in the executable if available.
	  (It is not yet available in this commit.)
	. To support mmap(), add do_vm_call that allows VM to lookup
	  (to ino+dev), do i/o from and close FD's on behalf of other
	  processes.

0cfff08e56 libexec: mmap support, prealloc variants
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.

Remove old versions of system calls and system calls that don't have
a libc api interface anymore (dup, dup2, creat).

VFS still contains support for old system call numbers for the new stat
system calls (i.e., 65, 66, 67) to keep supporting old binaries built for
MINIX 3.2.1 (prior to the release).

298b41b523 libexec: detect short files
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.

50e2064049 No more intel/minix segments.
This commit removes all traces of Minix segments (the text/data/stack
memory map abstraction in the kernel) and significance of Intel segments
(hardware segments like CS, DS that add offsets to all addressing before
page table translation). This ultimately simplifies the memory layout
and addressing and makes the same layout possible on non-Intel
architectures.

There are only two types of addresses in the world now: virtual
and physical; even the kernel and processes have the same virtual
address space. Kernel and user processes can be distinguished at a
glance as processes won't use 0xF0000000 and above.

No static pre-allocated memory sizes exist any more.

Changes to booting:
        . The pre_init.c leaves the kernel and modules exactly as
          they were left by the bootloader in physical memory
        . The kernel starts running using physical addressing,
          loaded at a fixed location given in its linker script by the
          bootloader.  All code and data in this phase are linked to
          this fixed low location.
        . It makes a bootstrap pagetable to map itself to a
          fixed high location (also in linker script) and jumps to
          the high address. All code and data then use this high addressing.
        . All code/data symbols linked at the low addresses is prefixed by
          an objcopy step with __k_unpaged_*, so that that code cannot
          reference highly-linked symbols (which aren't valid yet) or vice
          versa (symbols that aren't valid any more).
        . The two addressing modes are separated in the linker script by
          collecting the unpaged_*.o objects and linking them with low
          addresses, and linking the rest high. Some objects are linked
          twice, once low and once high.
        . The bootstrap phase passes a lot of information (e.g. free memory
          list, physical location of the modules, etc.) using the kinfo
          struct.
        . After this bootstrap the low-linked part is freed.
        . The kernel maps in VM into the bootstrap page table so that VM can
          begin executing. Its first job is to make page tables for all other
          boot processes. So VM runs before RS, and RS gets a fully dynamic,
          VM-managed address space. VM gets its privilege info from RS as usual
          but that happens after RS starts running.
        . Both the kernel loading VM and VM organizing boot processes happen
	  using the libexec logic. This removes the last reason for VM to
	  still know much about exec() and vm/exec.c is gone.

Further Implementation:
        . All segments are based at 0 and have a 4 GB limit.
        . The kernel is mapped in at the top of the virtual address
          space so as not to constrain the user processes.
        . Processes do not use segments from the LDT at all; there are
          no segments in the LDT any more, so no LLDT is needed.
        . The Minix segments T/D/S are gone and so none of the
          user-space or in-kernel copy functions use them. The copy
          functions use a process endpoint of NONE to realize it's
          a physical address, virtual otherwise.
        . The umap call only makes sense to translate a virtual address
          to a physical address now.
        . Segments-related calls like newmap and alloc_segments are gone.
        . All segments-related translation in VM is gone (vir2map etc).
        . Initialization in VM is simpler as no moving around is necessary.
        . VM and all other boot processes can be linked wherever they wish
          and will be mapped in at the right location by the kernel and VM
          respectively.

Other changes:
        . The multiboot code is less special: it does not use mb_print
          for its diagnostics any more but uses printf() as normal, saving
          the output into the diagnostics buffer, only printing to the
          screen using the direct print functions if a panic() occurs.
        . The multiboot code uses the flexible 'free memory map list'
          style to receive the list of free memory if available.
        . The kernel determines the memory layout of the processes to
          a degree: it tells VM where the kernel starts and ends and
          where the kernel wants the top of the process to be. VM then
          uses this entire range, i.e. the stack is right at the top,
          and mmap()ped bits of memory are placed below that downwards,
          and the break grows upwards.

Other Consequences:
        . Every process gets its own page table as address spaces
          can't be separated any more by segments.
        . As all segments are 0-based, there is no distinction between
          virtual and linear addresses, nor between userspace and
          kernel addresses.
        . Less work is done when context switching, leading to a net
          performance increase. (8% faster on my machine for 'make servers'.)
	. The layout and configuration of the GDT makes sysenter and syscall
	  possible.

769af57274 further libexec generalization
. new mode for sys_memset: include process so memset can be
	  done in physical or virtual address space.
	. add a mode to mmap() that lets a process allocate uninitialized
	  memory.
	. this allows an exec()er (RS, VFS, etc.) to request uninitialized
	  memory from VM and selectively clear the ranges that don't come
	  from a file, leaving no uninitialized memory left for the process
	  to see.
	. use callbacks for clearing the process, clearing memory in the
	  process, and copying into the process; so that the libexec code
	  can be used from rs, vfs, and in the future, kernel (to load vm)
	  and vm (to load boot-time processes)

040362e379 exec() cleanup, generalization, improvement
. 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/)

41b869d4d6 drop aout support
justification: soon we won't be able to execute sep I&D aouts at
all (because of the vanishing segments), which was the default mode
to generate them so most binaries will be sep I&D.

this makes the vfs/rs exec() unification work simpler.

after unification, common I&D aout could be added back quite simply.

on every thread yield. This reduces overhead. Moreover, remove the
assumption that m_in is preserved. Do_XXX functions have to copy the
system call parameters as soon as possible and only pass those copies to
other functions.

Furthermore, this patch cleans up some code and uses better types in a lot
of places.

ef0a265086 New stat structure.
* VFS and installed MFSes must be in sync before and after this change *

Use struct stat from NetBSD. It requires adding new STAT, FSTAT and LSTAT
syscalls. Libc modification is both backward and forward compatible.

Also new struct stat uses modern field sizes to avoid ABI
incompatibility, when we update uid_t, gid_t and company.
Exceptions are ino_t and off_t in old libc (though paddings added).

48c6bb79f4 Driver refactory for live update and crash recovery.
SYSLIB CHANGES:
- DS calls to publish / retrieve labels consider endpoints instead of u32_t.

VFS CHANGES:
- mapdriver() only adds an entry in the dmap table in VFS.
- dev_up() is only executed upon reception of a driver up event.

INET CHANGES:
- INET no longer searches for existing drivers instances at startup.
- A newtwork driver is (re)initialized upon reception of a driver up event.
- Networking startup is now race-free by design. No need to waste 5 seconds
at startup any more.

DRIVER CHANGES:
- Every driver publishes driver up events when starting for the first time or
in case of restart when recovery actions must be taken in the upper layers.
- Driver up events are published by drivers through DS. 
- For regular drivers, VFS is normally the only subscriber, but not necessarily.
For instance, when the filter driver is in use, it must subscribe to driver
up events to initiate recovery.
- For network drivers, inet is the only subscriber for now.
- Every VFS driver is statically linked with libdriver, every network driver
is statically linked with libnetdriver.

DRIVER LIBRARIES CHANGES:
- Libdriver is extended to provide generic receive() and ds_publish() interfaces
for VFS drivers.
- driver_receive() is a wrapper for sef_receive() also used in driver_task()
to discard spurious messages that were meant to be delivered to a previous
version of the driver.
- driver_receive_mq() is the same as driver_receive() but integrates support
for queued messages.
- driver_announce() publishes a driver up event for VFS drivers and marks
the driver as initialized and expecting a DEV_OPEN message.
- Libnetdriver is introduced to provide similar receive() and ds_publish()
interfaces for network drivers (netdriver_announce() and netdriver_receive()).
- Network drivers all support live update with no state transfer now.

KERNEL CHANGES:
- Added kernel call statectl for state management. Used by driver_announce() to
unblock eventual callers sendrecing to the driver.
