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.

175d3e7eae Changing the message union to anonymous.
This allows us to write things like this:
  message m;
  m.m_notify.interrupts = new_value;

or
  message *mp;
  mp->m_notify.interrupts = new_value;

The shorthands macro have been adapted for the new scheme, and will be
kept as long as we have generic messages being used.

44d3230e40 For common calls, give servers unique call numbers
The getsysinfo(2), getrusage(2), and svrctl(2) calls used the same
call number to different services. Since we want to give each service
its own call number ranges, this is no longer tenable. This patch
introduces per-service call numbers for these calls.

Note that the remainder of the COMMON_ range is left intact, as these
the remaining requests in it are processed by SEF and thus server-
agnostic. The range should really be prefixed with SEF_ now.

80bd109cd3 libsys: various updates
- move system calls for use by services from libminlib into libsys;
- move srv_fork(2) and srv_kill(2) from RS and into libsys;
- replace getprocnr(2) with sef_self(3);
- rename previous getnprocnr(2) to getprocnr(2);
- clean up getepinfo(2);
- change all libsys calls that used _syscall to use _taskcall, so as
  to avoid going through errno to pass errors; this is already how
  most calls work anyway, and many of the calls previously using
  _syscall were already assumed to return the actual error;
- initialize request messages to zero, for future compatibility
  (note that this does not include PCI calls, which are in need of a
  much bigger overhaul, nor kernel calls);
- clean up more of dead DS code as a side effect.

664b726cd3 VFS: further cleanup of device code
- all TTY-related exceptions have now been merged into the regular
  code paths, allowing non-TTY drivers to expose TTY-like devices;
- as part of this, CTTY_MAJOR is now fully managed by VFS instead of
  being an ugly stepchild of the TTY driver;
- device styles have become completely obsolete, support for them has
  been removed throughout the system; same for device flags, which had
  already become useless a while ago;
- device map open/close and I/O function pointers have lost their use,
  thus finally making the VFS device code actually readable;
- the device-unrelated pm_setsid has been moved to misc.c;
- some other small cleanup-related changes.

6b3f4dc157 Input infrastructure, INPUT server, PCKBD driver
This commit separates the low-level keyboard driver from TTY, putting
it in a separate driver (PCKBD). The commit also separates management
of raw input devices from TTY, and puts it in a separate server
(INPUT). All keyboard and mouse input from hardware is sent by drivers
to the INPUT server, which either sends it to a process that has
opened a raw input device, or otherwise forwards it to TTY for
standard processing.

Design by Dirk Vogt. Prototype by Uli Kastlunger.

Additional changes made to the prototype:

- the event communication is now based on USB HID codes; all input
  drivers have to use USB codes to describe events;
- all TTY keymaps have been converted to USB format, with the effect
  that a single keymap covers all keys; there is no (static) escaped
  keymap anymore;
- further keymap tweaks now allow remapping of literally all keys;
- input device renumbering and protocol rewrite;
- INPUT server rewrite, with added support for cancel and select;
- PCKBD reimplementation, including PC/AT-to-USB translation;
- support for manipulating keyboard LEDs has been added;
- keyboard and mouse multiplexer devices have been added to INPUT,
  primarily so that an X server need only open two devices;
- a new "libinputdriver" library abstracts away protocol details from
  input drivers, and should be used by all future input drivers;
- both INPUT and PCKBD can be restarted;
- TTY is now scheduled by KERNEL, so that it won't be punished for
  running a lot; without this, simply running "yes" on the console
  kills the system;
- the KIOCBELL IOCTL has been moved to /dev/console;
- support for the SCANCODES termios setting has been removed;
- obsolete keymap compression has been removed;
- the obsolete Olivetti M24 keymap has been removed.

 * 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:

78d707cd26 VM: support for shared call mask ACLs
The VM server now manages its call masks such that all user processes
share the same call mask. As a result, an update for the call mask of
any user process will apply to all user processes. This is similar to
the privilege infrastructure employed by the kernel, and may serve as
a template for similar fine-grained restrictions in other servers.

Concretely, this patch fixes the problem of "service edit init" not
applying the given VM call mask to user processes started from RC
scripts during system startup.

In addition, this patch makes RS set a proper VM call mask for each
recovery script it spawns.

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.

e67fc5771d libc: add clock_getres()/clock_gettime() system calls.
In order to make it more clear that ticks should be used for timers
and realtime should be used for timestamps / displaying the date/time,
getuptime() was renamed to getticks() and getuptime2() was renamed to
getuptime().

Servers, drivers, libraries, tests, etc that use getuptime()/getuptime2()
have been updated. In instances where a realtime was calculated, the
calculation was changed to use realtime.

System calls clock_getres() and clock_gettime() were added to PM/libc.

8f3fbf7cc1 Cleanup: Remove minix.bootprog.mk
The build system distinction between "bootprog" and "service" is

by removing minix.bootprog.mk and placing the rules in minix.service.mk.

When a service fails to initialize, RS exits the service. When injecting

that when starting services with the -b flag (no binary exponential
offset), we don't want to exit the service but simply restart the

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.

f93afa00e9 Remove MINIXSRCDIR and use NETBSDSRCDIR
NETBSDSRCDIR is used all over the place anyway, and this reduces
our diff with NetBSD a little.

0fb2f83da9 drop from segments physcopy/vircopy invocations
. sys_vircopy always uses D for both src and dst
	. sys_physcopy uses PHYS_SEG if and only if corresponding
	  endpoint is NONE, so we can derive the mode (PHYS_SEG or D)
	  from the endpoint arg in the kernel, dropping the seg args
	. fields in msg still filled in for backwards compatability,
	  using same NONE-logic in the library

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.

53002f6f6c recognize and execute dynamically linked executables
. generalize libexec slightly to get some more necessary information
	  from ELF files, e.g. the interpreter
	. execute dynamically linked executables when exec()ed by VFS
	. switch to netbsd variant of elf32.h exclusively, solves some
	  conflicting headers
