565f13088f make vfs & filesystems use failable copying
Change the kernel to add features to vircopy and safecopies so that
transparent copy fixing won't happen to avoid deadlocks, and such copies
fail with EFAULT.

Transparently making copying work from filesystems (as normally done by
the kernel & VM when copying fails because of missing/readonly memory)
is problematic as it can happen that, for file-mapped ranges, that that
same filesystem that is blocked on the copy request is needed to satisfy
the memory range, leading to deadlock. Dito for VFS itself, if done with
a blocking call.

This change makes the copying done from a filesystem fail in such cases
with EFAULT by VFS adding the CPF_TRY flag to the grants. If a FS call
fails with EFAULT, VFS will then request the range to be made available
to VM after the FS is unblocked, allowing it to be used to satisfy the
range if need be in another VFS thread.

Similarly, for datacopies that VFS itself does, it uses the failable
vircopy variant and callers use a wrapper that talk to VM if necessary
to get the copy to work.

	. kernel: add CPF_TRY flag to safecopies
	. kernel: only request writable ranges to VM for the
	  target buffer when copying fails
	. do copying in VFS TRY-first
	. some fixes in VM to build SANITYCHECK mode
	. add regression test for the cases where
	  - a FS system call needs memory mapped in a process that the
	    FS itself must map.
	  - such a range covers more than one file-mapped region.
	. add 'try' mode to vircopy, physcopy
	. add flags field to copy kernel call messages
	. if CP_FLAG_TRY is set, do not transparently try
	  to fix memory ranges
	. for use by VFS when accessing user buffers to avoid
	  deadlock
	. remove some obsolete backwards compatability assignments
        . VFS: let thread scheduling work for VM requests too
          Allows VFS to make calls to VM while suspending and resuming
          the currently running thread. Does currently not work for the
          main thread.

8fea5ab8bd Kernel: make SIGKMESS target process list dynamic
The set of processes to which a SIGKMESS signal is sent whenever new
diagnostics messages are added to the kernel's message buffer, is now
no longer hardcoded. Instead, processes can (un)register themselves
to receive such notifications, by means of sys_diagctl().

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.

e8e506f2a0 Adapt the type used for adjtime_delta
clock_t is currently a signed type, but in NetBSD this is not the
case. As we plan on aligning our types we have to change this as this
prevents negative delta from being correctly used.

516fec97d9 libc: add clock_settime() system call.
This also adds the sys_settime() kernel call which allows for the adjusting
of the clock named realtime in the kernel. The existing sys_stime()
function is still needed for a separate job (setting the boottime). The
boottime is set in the readclock driver. The sys_settime() interface is
meant to be flexible and will support both clock_settime() and adjtime()
when adjtime() is implemented later.

settimeofday() was adjusted to use the clock_settime() interface.

One side note discovered during testing: uptime(1) (part of the last(1)),
uses wtmp to determine boottime (not Minix's times(2)). This leads `uptime`
to report odd results when you set the time to a time prior to boottime.
This isn't a new bug introduced by my changes. It's been there for a while.

5142b1f388 kernel: rename realtime to monotonic, add realtime
Old realtime was used for both timers (where an accurate count of
all ticks is needed) and the system time. In order to implement
adjtime(2), these duties must be separated as changing the time
of day by a small amount shouldn't affect timers in any way nor
should it change the boot time.

Following the naming of the clocks used by clock_gettime(2). The
clock named 'realtime' will represent the best guess at the
current wall clock time, and the clock named 'monotonic' will
represent the absolute time the system has been running.
Use monotonic for timers in kernel and in drivers. Use realtime
for determining time of day, dates, etc.

This commit simply renames realtime to monotonic and adds a new
tick counter named realtime. There are no functional changes in
this commit. It just lays the foundation for future work.

. add cpufeature detection of both
	. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
	  for call number
	. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
	  has to save it
	. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
	  type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
	  were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
	  is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
	  from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
	  done as some information is missing.
	. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
	  process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
	  is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
	  context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
	  the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
	  will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
	  sigreturn case.
	. override all usage by setting libc_ipc=1

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.

	. this allows an exec()er (RS, VFS, etc.) to request uninitialized

	. use callbacks for clearing the process, clearing memory in the

	  can be used from rs, vfs, and in the future, kernel (to load vm)

cc17b27a2b Build NetBSD libc library in world in ELF mode.
3 sets of libraries are built now:
  . ack: all libraries that ack can compile (/usr/lib/i386/)
  . clang+elf: all libraries with minix headers (/usr/lib/)
  . clang+elf: all libraries with netbsd headers (/usr/netbsd/)

Once everything can be compiled with netbsd libraries and headers, the
/usr/netbsd hierarchy will be obsolete and its libraries compiled with
netbsd headers will be installed in /usr/lib, and its headers
in /usr/include. (i.e. minix libc and current minix headers set
will be gone.)

To use the NetBSD libc system (libraries + headers) before
it is the default libc, see:
   http://wiki.minix3.org/en/DevelopersGuide/UsingNetBSDCode
This wiki page also documents the maintenance of the patch
files of minix-specific changes to imported NetBSD code.

Changes in this commit:
  . libsys: Add NBSD compilation and create a safe NBSD-based libc.
  . Port rest of libraries (except libddekit) to new header system.
  . Enable compilation of libddekit with new headers.
  . Enable kernel compilation with new headers.
  . Enable drivers compilation with new headers.
  . Port legacy commands to new headers and libc.
  . Port servers to new headers.
  . Add <sys/sigcontext.h> in compat library.
  . Remove dependency file in tree.
  . Enable compilation of common/lib/libc/atomic in libsys
  . Do not generate RCSID strings in libc.
  . Temporarily disable zoneinfo as they are incompatible with NetBSD format
  . obj-nbsd for .gitignore
  . Procfs: use only integer arithmetic. (Antoine Leca)
  . Increase ramdisk size to create NBSD-based images.
  . Remove INCSYMLINKS handling hack.
  . Add nbsd_include/sys/exec_elf.h
  . Enable ELF compilation with NBSD libc.
  . Add 'make nbsdsrc' in tools to download reference NetBSD sources.
  . Automate minix-port.patch creation.
  . Avoid using fstavfs() as it is *extremely* slow and unneeded.
  . Set err() as PRIVATE to avoid name clash with libc.
  . [NBSD] servers/vm: remove compilation warnings.
  . u32 is not a long in NBSD headers.
  . UPDATING info on netbsd hierarchy
  . commands fixes for netbsd libc

ef92583c3a Busy idle loop when profiling
- the Intel architecture cycle counter (performance counter) does not
  count when the CPU is idle therefore we use busy loop instead of
  halting the cpu when there is nothing to schedule

- the downside is that handling interrupts may be accounted as idle
  time if a sample is taken before we get out of the nested trap and
  pick a new process
