During shutdown all processes are semi-exited and FSes are unmounted.
This semi-exit causes trouble for FUSE mounts as they still need access
to file descriptors and working directory in order to unmount.
. move mfs-specific struct, constants to mfs/, so
mfs-specific, on-disk format structs and consts are
fully isolated from generic structs and functions
. removes de and readfs utils
. only use for single-page invalidations initially
. shows tiny but statistically significant performance
improvement; will be more helpful in certain VM debug
modes
. ipc wants to know about processes that get
signals, so that it can break blocking ipc operations
. doing it for every single signal is wasteful
and causes the annoying 'no slot for signals' message
. this fix tells vm on a per-process basis it (ipc)
wants to be notified, i.e. only when it does any ipc calls
. move ipc config to separate config file while we're at it
. it's a good extra interface to have but doesn't
meet standardised functionality
. applications (in pkgsrc) find it and expect
full functionality the minix mmap doesn't offter
. on the whole probably better to hide these functions
(mmap and friends) until they are grown up; the base system
can use the new minix_* names
. MAP_SHARED was used to implement sysv shared memory
. used to signal shareable memory region to VM
. assumptions about this situation break when processes
use MAP_SHARED for its normal, standardised meaning
POSIX truncate specification says "Upon successful completion, if
the *file size is changed*, this function shall mark for update the
st_ctime and st_mtime fields of the file." This patch prevents
changing of the date fields when the size stays the same.
* 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).
