33a7ac7557 vfs: mmap support
. 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.

cef94e096e vfs: make m_out non-global
m_out is shared between threads as the reply message, and it can happen
results get overwritten by another thread before the reply is sent. This
change

	. makes m_out local to the message handling function,
	  declared on the stack of the caller
	. forces callers of reply() to give it a message, or
	  declare the reply message has no significant fields except
	  for the return code by calling replycode()

a9f55a2e46 VFS, FSes: add REQ_PEEK request type
REQ_PEEK behaves just like REQ_READ except that it does not copy
data anywhere, just obtains the blocks from the FS into the cache.

To be used by the future mmap implementation.

3de8d1cf6e VFS/PFS: remove notion of position in pipes
Because pipes have no file position. VFS maintained (file) offsets into a
buffer internal to PFS and stored them in vnodes for simplicity, mixing
the responsibilities of filp and vnode objects.

With this patch PFS ignores the position field in REQ_READ and REQ_WRITE
requests making VFS' job a lot simpler.

7c8b3ddfed VFS: fix locking bugs
.sync and fsync used unnecessarily restrictive locking type
.fsync violated locking order by obtaining a vmnt lock after a filp lock
.fsync contained a TOCTOU bug
.new_node violated locking rules (didn't upgrade lock upon file creation)
.do_pipe used unnecessarily restrictive locking type
.always lock pipes exclusively; even a read operation might require to do
 a write on a vnode object (update pipe size)
.when opening a file with O_TRUNC, upgrade vnode lock when truncating
.utime used unnecessarily restrictive locking type
.path parsing:
  .always acquire VMNT_WRITE or VMNT_EXCL on vmnt and downgrade to
   VMNT_READ if that was what was actually requested. This prevents the
   following deadlock scenario:
   thread A:
     lock_vmnt(vmp, TLL_READSER);
     lock_vnode(vp, TLL_READSER);
     upgrade_vmnt_lock(vmp, TLL_WRITE);

   thread B:
     lock_vmnt(vmp, TLL_READ);
     lock_vnode(vp, TLL_READSER);

   thread A will be stuck in upgrade_vmnt_lock and thread B is stuck in
   lock_vnode. This happens when, for example, thread A tries create a
   new node (open.c:new_node) and thread B tries to do eat_path to
   change dir (stadir.c:do_chdir). When the path is being resolved, a
   vnode is always locked with VNODE_OPCL (TLL_READSER) and then
   downgraded to VNODE_READ if read-only is actually requested. Thread
   A locks the vmnt with VMNT_WRITE (TLL_READSER) which still allows
   VMNT_READ locks. Thread B can't acquire a lock on the vnode because
   thread A has it; Thread A can't upgrade its vmnt lock to VMNT_WRITE
   (TLL_WRITE) because thread B has a VMNT_READ lock on it.

   By serializing vmnt locks during path parsing, thread B can only
   acquire a lock on vmp when thread A has completely finished its
   operation.

e35c4f78d2 VFS: fix check_bsf() locking
The check_bsf() macro uses assert(mutex_trylock(&bsf_lock)) and
assumes bsf_lock is locked afterwards. This breaks when compiling
with NOASSERTS="yes". Also: macro to function transition.

992799b91f VFS: make all IPC asynchronous
By decoupling synchronous drivers from VFS, we are a big step closer to
supporting driver crashes under all circumstances. That is, VFS can't
become stuck on IPC with a synchronous driver (e.g., INET) and can
recover from crashing block drivers during open/close/ioctl or during
communication with an FS.

In order to maintain serialized communication with a synchronous driver,
the communication is wrapped by a mutex on a per driver basis (not major
numbers as there can be multiple majors with identical endpoints). Majors
that share a driver endpoint point to a single mutex object.

In order to support crashes from block drivers, the file reopen tactic
had to be changed; first reopen files associated with the crashed
driver, then send the new driver endpoint to FSes. This solves a
deadlock between the FS and the block driver;
  - VFS would send REQ_NEW_DRIVER to an FS, but he FS only receives it
    after retrying the current request to the newly started driver.
  - The block driver would refuse the retried request until all files
    had been reopened.
  - VFS would reopen files only after getting a reply from the initial
    REQ_NEW_DRIVER.

When a character special driver crashes, all associated files have to
be marked invalid and closed (or reopened if flagged as such). However,
they can only be closed if a thread holds exclusive access to it. To
obtain exclusive access, the worker thread (which handles the new driver
endpoint event from DS) schedules a new job to garbage collect invalid
files. This way, we can signal the worker thread that was talking to the
crashed driver and will release exclusive access to a file associated
with the crashed driver and prevent the garbage collecting worker thread
from dead locking on that file.

Also, when a character special driver crashes, RS will unmap the driver
and remap it upon restart. During unmapping, associated files are marked
invalid instead of waiting for an endpoint up event from DS, as that
event might come later than new read/write/select requests and thus
cause confusion in the freshly started driver.

When locking a filp, the usage counters are no longer checked. The usage
counter can legally go down to zero during filp invalidation while there
are locks pending.

DS events are handled by a separate worker thread instead of the main
thread as reopening files could lead to another crash and a stuck thread.
An additional worker thread is then necessary to unlock it.

Finally, with everything asynchronous a race condition in do_select
surfaced. A select entry was only marked in use after succesfully sending
initial select requests to drivers and having to wait. When multiple
select() calls were handled there was opportunity that these entries
were overwritten. This had as effect that some select results were
ignored (and select() remained blocking instead if returning) or do_select
tried to access filps that were not present (because thrown away by
secondary select()). This bug manifested itself with sendrecs, but was
very hard to reproduce. However, it became awfully easy to trigger with
asynsends only.

8f55767619 VFS: make m_in job local
By making m_in job local (i.e., each job has its own copy of m_in instead
of refering to the global m_in) we don't have to store and restore m_in
on every thread yield. This reduces overhead. Moreover, remove the
assumption that m_in is preserved. Do_XXX functions have to copy the
system call parameters as soon as possible and only pass those copies to
other functions.

Furthermore, this patch cleans up some code and uses better types in a lot
of places.

13ef7f1f38 Prepare VFS to support back calls from PFS. For security reasons and to support
file descriptor passing, PFS does some back calls to VFS. For example, to
verify the validity of a path provided by a process and to tell VFS it must
copy file descriptors from one process to another.

35a108b911 panic() cleanup.
this change
   - makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
     no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
     needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
   - unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
     vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
     in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
   - throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
     the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
     so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
         panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
     looks like:
         at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
         syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
   - throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
   - harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
     that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
     (messes up the formatting) in panic()
   - throws out a few per-server panic() functions
   - cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()

merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.

958b25be50 - Introduce support for sticky bit.
- Revise VFS-FS protocol and update VFS/MFS/ISOFS accordingly.
- Clean up MFS by removing old, dead code (backwards compatibility is broken by
  the new VFS-FS protocol, anyway) and rewrite other parts. Also, make sure all
  functions have proper banners and prototypes.
- VFS should always provide a (syntactically) valid path to the FS; no need for
  the FS to do sanity checks when leaving/entering mount points.
- Fix several bugs in MFS:
  - Several path lookup bugs in MFS.
  - A link can be too big for the path buffer.
  - A mountpoint can become inaccessible when the creation of a new inode
    fails, because the inode already exists and is a mountpoint.
- Introduce support for supplemental groups.
- Add test 46 to test supplemental group functionality (and removed obsolete
  suppl. tests from test 2).
- Clean up VFS (not everything is done yet).
- ISOFS now opens device read-only. This makes the -r flag in the mount command
  unnecessary (but will still report to be mounted read-write).
- Introduce PipeFS. PipeFS is a new FS that handles all anonymous and
  named pipes. However, named pipes still reside on the (M)FS, as they are part
  of the file system on disk. To make this work VFS now has a concept of
  'mapped' inodes, which causes read, write, truncate and stat requests to be
  redirected to the mapped FS, and all other requests to the original FS.

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
