e3ca89c0be more sanity checking. sanity checking disabled by default.
give every process a full pagetable by default now.

first step to disabling kernel page table code (processes
might not have page tables -> no address translation).

41e9fedf87 Mostly bugfixes of bugs triggered by the test set.
bugfixes:
 SYSTEM:
 . removed
        rc->p_priv->s_flags = 0;
   for the priv struct shared by all user processes in get_priv(). this
   should only be done once. doing a SYS_PRIV_USER in sys_privctl()
   caused the flags of all user processes to be reset, so they were no
   longer PREEMPTIBLE. this happened when RS executed a policy script.
   (this broke test1 in the test set)

 VFS/MFS:
 . chown can change the mode of a file, and chmod arguments are only
   part of the full file mode so the full filemode is slightly magic.
   changed these calls so that the final modes are returned to VFS, so
   that the vnode can be kept up-to-date.
   (this broke test11 in the test set)

 MFS:
 . lookup() checked for sizeof(string) instead of sizeof(user_path),
   truncating long path names
   (caught by test 23)
 . truncate functions neglected to update ctime
   (this broke test16)

 VFS:
 . corner case of an empty filename lookup caused fields of a request
   not to be filled in in the lookup functions, not making it clear
   that the lookup had failed, causing messages to garbage processes,
   causing strange failures.
   (caught by test 30)
 . trust v_size in vnode when doing reads or writes on non-special
   files, truncating i/o where necessary; this is necessary for pipes,
   as MFS can't tell when a pipe has been truncated without it being
   told explicitly each time.
   when the last reader/writer on a pipe closes, tell FS about
   the new size using truncate_vn().
   (this broke test 25, among others)
 . permission check for chdir() had disappeared; added a
   forbidden() call
   (caught by test 23)

new code, shouldn't change anything:
 . introduced RTS_SET, RTS_UNSET, and RTS_ISSET macro's, and their
   LOCK variants. These macros set and clear the p_rts_flags field,
   causing a lot of duplicated logic like

       old_flags = rp->p_rts_flags;            /* save value of the flags */
       rp->p_rts_flags &= ~NO_PRIV;
       if (old_flags != 0 && rp->p_rts_flags == 0) lock_enqueue(rp);

   to change into the simpler

       RTS_LOCK_UNSET(rp, NO_PRIV);

   so the macros take care of calling dequeue() and enqueue() (or lock_*()),
   as the case may be). This makes the code a bit more readable and a
   bit less fragile.
 . removed return code from do_clocktick in CLOCK as it currently
   never replies
 . removed some debug code from VFS
 . fixed grant debug message in device.c
 
preemptive checks, tests, changes:
 . added return code checks of receive() to SYSTEM and CLOCK
 . O_TRUNC should never arrive at MFS (added sanity check and removed
   O_TRUNC code)
 . user_path declared with PATH_MAX+1 to let it be null-terminated
 . checks in MFS to see if strings passed by VFS are null-terminated
 
 IS:
 . static irq name table thrown out

6f77685609 Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386,
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.

 . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
   other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
   but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
 . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
 . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
   architecture-independent functions.
 . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
   and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
 . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
   gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
   If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
 . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
   kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
 . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
   know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
   i386.
 . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
 . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
 . fixes for new include files

files deleted:
 . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
 . klib86.s - only for 86

i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
 . mpx386.s (entry point)
 . klib386.s
 . sconst.h
 . exception.c
 . protect.c
 . protect.h
 . i8269.c

1335d5d700 'proc number' is process slot, 'endpoint' are generation-aware process
instance numbers, encoded and decoded using macros in <minix/endpoint.h>.

proc number -> endpoint migration
  . proc_nr in the interrupt hook is now an endpoint, proc_nr_e.
  . m_source for messages and notifies is now an endpoint, instead of
    proc number.
  . isokendpt() converts an endpoint to a process number, returns
    success (but fails if the process number is out of range, the
    process slot is not a living process, or the given endpoint
    number does not match the endpoint number in the process slot,
    indicating an old process).
  . okendpt() is the same as isokendpt(), but panic()s if the conversion
    fails. This is mainly used for decoding message.m_source endpoints,
    and other endpoint numbers in kernel data structures, which should
    always be correct.
  . if DEBUG_ENABLE_IPC_WARNINGS is enabled, isokendpt() and okendpt()
    get passed the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the calling lines, and
    print messages about what is wrong with the endpoint number
    (out of range proc, empty proc, or inconsistent endpoint number),
    with the caller, making finding where the conversion failed easy
    without having to include code for every call to print where things
    went wrong. Sometimes this is harmless (wrong arg to a kernel call),
    sometimes it's a fatal internal inconsistency (bogus m_source).
  . some process table fields have been appended an _e to indicate it's
    become and endpoint.
  . process endpoint is stored in p_endpoint, without generation number.
    it turns out the kernel never needs the generation number, except
    when fork()ing, so it's decoded then.
  . kernel calls all take endpoints as arguments, not proc numbers.
    the one exception is sys_fork(), which needs to know in which slot
    to put the child.

8866b4d0ef Kernel changes:
- reinstalled priority changing, now in sched() and unready()
- reinstalled check on message buffer in sys_call()
- reinstalled check in send masks in sys_call()
- changed do_fork() to get new privilege structure for SYS_PROCs
- removed some processes from boot image---will be dynamically started later

f0594a9e6d - Fixed comments in various system call handlers. Work in progress on new
sys_privctl() call to dynamically start servers and drivers.

- Shutdown sequence slightly adjusted: called as watchdog timer to let the
  busy sys_abort() call from the PM return first.

- Changed umap_bios() to have more restrictive check: BIOS memory is now
  allowed in BIOS_MEM_BEGIN to END (interrupt vectors) and BASE_MEM_TOP
  to UPPER_MEM_END. Hopefully this keeps QEMU and Bochs happy.

198c976f7e System processes can be signaled; signals are transformed in SYS_EVENT message
that passes signal map along. This mechanisms is also used for nonuser signals
like SIGKMESS, SIGKSTOP, SIGKSIG.

0e2a7a9730 Kernel cleanup.
Reduced kernel size by 512KB by moving private buffer into cstart() function.
Replaced assertions with erroneous return values. Removed assertions relating
to isuserp(rp), since all processes should become user processes; system
processes are now treated similar to other processes.

0165662cd9 Replaced flagalrm() timers with another technique to check for timeouts.
This allowed removing the p_flagarlm timer from the kernel's process table.
Furthermore, I merged p_syncalrm and p_signalrm into p_alarm_timer to save
even more space. Note that processes can no longer have both a signal and
synchronous alarm timer outstanding as of now.

322ec9ef8b Moved stime, time, times POSIX calls from FS to PM. Removed child time
accounting from kernel (now in PM).  Large amount of files in this commit
is due to system time problems during development.

ccd17ecfed New NOTIFY system call! Queued at kernel. Duplicate messages (with same source
and type) are overwritten with newer flags/ arguments. The interface from
within the kernel is lock_notify(). User processes can make a system call with
notify(). NOTIFY fully replaces the old notification mechanism.

Jorrit Herder
307c825515 New NOTIFY trap (IPC call) to send queued notification messages.
The call works. Permission check, restriction of outstanding notifications
to be added. Low level code to make it work from within interrupt handlers
will be added as well.
