The memory-mapped files implementation (mmap() etc.) is implemented with
the help of the filesystems using the in-VM FS cache. Filesystems tell it
about all cached blocks and their metadata. Metadata is: device offset and,
if any (and known), inode number and in-inode offset. VM can then map in
requested memory-mapped file blocks, and request them if necessary.
A limitation of this system is that filesystem block sizes that are not
a multiple of the VM system (and VM hardware) page size are not possible;
we can't map blocks in partially. (We can copy, but then the benefits of
mapping and sharing the physical pages is gone.) So until before this
commit various pieces of caching code assumed page size multiple
blocksizes. This isn't strictly necessary as long as mmap() needn't be
supported on that FS.
This change allows the in-FS cache code (libminixfs) to allocate any-sized
blocks, and will not interact with the VM cache for non-pagesize-multiple
blocks. In that case it will also signal requestors, by failing 'peek'
requests, that mmap() should not be supported on this FS. VM and VFS
will then gracefully fail all file-mapping mmap() calls, and exec() will
fall back to copying executable blocks instead of mmap()ping executables.
As a result, 3 diagnostics that signal file-mapped mmap()s failing
(hitherto an unusual occurence) are disabled, as ld.so does file-mapped
mmap()s to map in objects it needs. On FSes not supporting it this situation
is legitimate and shouldn't cause so much noise. ld.so will revert to its own
minix-specific allocate+copy style of starting executables if mmap()s fail.

. initial workaround for assert() firing on iovec
size on ARM. likely due to alloc_contig() allocating
unusually mapped memory in STATICINIT.
. for the same reason use the regular cache i/o functions
to read the superblock in mfs - avoid the alloc_contig()
that STATICINIT does.

A printf statement that only gets compiled when DEBUG_SEM is
defined had a '%' conversion without a corresponding argument.
This patch adds the argument.

When we start using a new pagetable (for a new process)
the last part is to ensure the pagetable itself can be
accessed by VM. This is done in pt_bind by updating
the "pagetable of pagetables" and we want this mapping
to match other mappings to the l1 pagetable.

. turns on mmap() functionality for files by default
. also causes exec() to use it to map in executables
without copying and with sharing those pages with the
disk cache and other instances of the executable

As they can come anytime upon receipt of interrupt by the ethernet driver. This

A simple test case would be the following via ssh connection:

Previously, PFS would incorrectly try to unsuspend the parent (i.e.,
the listening socket), resulting in the child hanging until the other
side performed another action. Test56 started failing on this now.

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.

Some ARM chips handle power-off with RTC alarms. PM notifies
readclock (the driver for RTCs) about the impending power-off.
If the power-off mechanism is an RTC alarm, readclock will
set the alarm. If not, there is no effect.

-By adding MKGCC=yes and MKGCCCMDS=yes on the make commandline
it is now possible to compile and install GCC on the system.
Before doing this, if you are not using the build.sh script,
you will need to call the fetch scripts in order to retrieve
the sources of GCC and its dependencies.
-Reduce difference with NetBSD share/mk
Move Minix-specific parameters from bsd.gcc.mk to bsd.own.mk,
which is anyway patched, so that bsd.gcc.mk is now aligned
on the NetBSD version.
-Clean libraries dependencies, compiles stdc++ only if gcc is
also compiled (it is part of the gcc sources)
-Correct minix.h header sequence, cleanup spec headers.
-Fix cross-compilation from a 32bit host targeting MINIX/arm

. vm: add a mem_file memory type that specifies an mmap()ped
memory range, backed by a file
. add fdref, an object that keeps track of FD references within
VM per process and so knows how to de-duplicate the use of FD's
by various mmap()ped ranges; there can be many more than there can
be FD's

. 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.
