1f5841c8ed Basic System Event Framework (SEF) with ping and live update.
SYSLIB CHANGES:
- SEF must be used by every system process and is thereby part of the system
library.
- The framework provides a receive() interface (sef_receive) for system
processes to automatically catch known system even messages and process them.
- SEF provides a default behavior for each type of system event, but allows
system processes to register callbacks to override the default behavior.
- Custom (local to the process) or predefined (provided by SEF) callback
implementations can be registered to SEF.
- SEF currently includes support for 2 types of system events:
  1. SEF Ping. The event occurs every time RS sends a ping to figure out
  whether a system process is still alive. The default callback implementation
  provided by SEF is to notify RS back to let it know the process is alive
  and kicking.
  2. SEF Live update. The event occurs every time RS sends a prepare to update
  message to let a system process know an update is available and to prepare
  for it. The live update support is very basic for now. SEF only deals with
  verifying if the prepare state can be supported by the process, dumping the
  state for debugging purposes, and providing an event-driven programming
  model to the process to react to state changes check-in when ready to update.
- SEF should be extended in the future to integrate support for more types of
system events. Ideally, all the cross-cutting concerns should be integrated into
SEF to avoid duplicating code and ease extensibility. Examples include:
  * PM notify messages primarily used at shutdown.
  * SYSTEM notify messages primarily used for signals.
  * CLOCK notify messages used for system alarms.
  * Debug messages. IS could still be in charge of fkey handling but would
  forward the debug message to the target process (e.g. PM, if the user
  requested debug information about PM). SEF would then catch the message and
  do nothing unless the process has registered an appropriate callback to
  deal with the event. This simplifies the programming model to print debug
  information, avoids duplicating code, and reduces the effort to print
  debug information.

SYSTEM PROCESSES CHANGES:
- Every system process registers SEF callbacks it needs to override the default
system behavior and calls sef_startup() right after being started.
- sef_startup() does almost nothing now, but will be extended in the future to
support callbacks of its own to let RS control and synchronize with every
system process at initialization time.
- Every system process calls sef_receive() now rather than receive() directly,
to let SEF handle predefined system events.

RS CHANGES:
- RS supports a basic single-component live update protocol now, as follows:
  * When an update command is issued (via "service update *"), RS notifies the
  target system process to prepare for a specific update state.
  * If the process doesn't respond back in time, the update is aborted.
  * When the process responds back, RS kills it and marks it for refreshing.
  * The process is then automatically restarted as for a buggy process and can
  start running again.
  * Live update is currently prototyped as a controlled failure.

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.

f4574783dc Rewrite of boot process
KERNEL CHANGES:
- The kernel only knows about privileges of kernel tasks and the root system
process (now RS).
- Kernel tasks and the root system process are the only processes that are made
schedulable by the kernel at startup. All the other processes in the boot image
don't get their privileges set at startup and are inhibited from running by the
RTS_NO_PRIV flag.
- Removed the assumption on the ordering of processes in the boot image table.
System processes can now appear in any order in the boot image table.
- Privilege ids can now be assigned both statically or dynamically. The kernel
assigns static privilege ids to kernel tasks and the root system process. Each
id is directly derived from the process number.
- User processes now all share the static privilege id of the root user
process (now INIT).
- sys_privctl split: we have more calls now to let RS set privileges for system
processes. SYS_PRIV_ALLOW / SYS_PRIV_DISALLOW are only used to flip the
RTS_NO_PRIV flag and allow / disallow a process from running. SYS_PRIV_SET_SYS /
SYS_PRIV_SET_USER are used to set privileges for a system / user process.
- boot image table flags split: PROC_FULLVM is the only flag that has been
moved out of the privilege flags and is still maintained in the boot image
table. All the other privilege flags are out of the kernel now.

RS CHANGES:
- RS is the only user-space process who gets to run right after in-kernel
startup.
- RS uses the boot image table from the kernel and three additional boot image
info table (priv table, sys table, dev table) to complete the initialization
of the system.
- RS checks that the entries in the priv table match the entries in the boot
image table to make sure that every process in the boot image gets schedulable.
- RS only uses static privilege ids to set privileges for system services in
the boot image.
- RS includes basic memory management support to allocate the boot image buffer
dynamically during initialization. The buffer shall contain the executable
image of all the system services we would like to restart after a crash.
- First step towards decoupling between resource provisioning and resource
requirements in RS: RS must know what resources it needs to restart a process
and what resources it has currently available. This is useful to tradeoff
reliability and resource consumption. When required resources are missing, the
process cannot be restarted. In that case, in the future, a system flag will
tell RS what to do. For example, if CORE_PROC is set, RS should trigger a
system-wide panic because the system can no longer function correctly without
a core system process.

PM CHANGES:
- The process tree built at initialization time is changed to have INIT as root
with pid 0, RS child of INIT and all the system services children of RS. This
is required to make RS in control of all the system services.
- PM no longer registers labels for system services in the boot image. This is
now part of RS's initialization process.

- allow PM to tell sys_runctl() whether to use delay call feature
- only use this feature in PM for delivering signals - not for exits

b423d7b477 Merge of David's ptrace branch. Summary:
o Support for ptrace T_ATTACH/T_DETACH and T_SYSCALL
o PM signal handling logic should now work properly, even with debuggers
  being present
o Asynchronous PM/VFS protocol, full IPC support for senda(), and
  AMF_NOREPLY senda() flag

DETAILS

Process stop and delay call handling of PM:
o Added sys_runctl() kernel call with sys_stop() and sys_resume()
  aliases, for PM to stop and resume a process
o Added exception for sending/syscall-traced processes to sys_runctl(),
  and matching SIGKREADY pseudo-signal to PM
o Fixed PM signal logic to deal with requests from a process after
  stopping it (so-called "delay calls"), using the SIGKREADY facility
o Fixed various PM panics due to race conditions with delay calls versus
  VFS calls
o Removed special PRIO_STOP priority value
o Added SYS_LOCK RTS kernel flag, to stop an individual process from
  running while modifying its process structure

Signal and debugger handling in PM:
o Fixed debugger signals being dropped if a second signal arrives when
  the debugger has not retrieved the first one
o Fixed debugger signals being sent to the debugger more than once
o Fixed debugger signals unpausing process in VFS; removed PM_UNPAUSE_TR
  protocol message
o Detached debugger signals from general signal logic and from being
  blocked on VFS calls, meaning that even VFS can now be traced
o Fixed debugger being unable to receive more than one pending signal in
  one process stop
o Fixed signal delivery being delayed needlessly when multiple signals
  are pending
o Fixed wait test for tracer, which was returning for children that were
  not waited for
o Removed second parallel pending call from PM to VFS for any process
o Fixed process becoming runnable between exec() and debugger trap
o Added support for notifying the debugger before the parent when a
  debugged child exits
o Fixed debugger death causing child to remain stopped forever
o Fixed consistently incorrect use of _NSIG

Extensions to ptrace():
o Added T_ATTACH and T_DETACH ptrace request, to attach and detach a
  debugger to and from a process
o Added T_SYSCALL ptrace request, to trace system calls
o Added T_SETOPT ptrace request, to set trace options
o Added TO_TRACEFORK trace option, to attach automatically to children
  of a traced process
o Added TO_ALTEXEC trace option, to send SIGSTOP instead of SIGTRAP upon
  a successful exec() of the tracee
o Extended T_GETUSER ptrace support to allow retrieving a process's priv
  structure
o Removed T_STOP ptrace request again, as it does not help implementing
  debuggers properly
o Added MINIX3-specific ptrace test (test42)
o Added proper manual page for ptrace(2)

Asynchronous PM/VFS interface:
o Fixed asynchronous messages not being checked when receive() is called
  with an endpoint other than ANY
o Added AMF_NOREPLY senda() flag, preventing such messages from
  satisfying the receive part of a sendrec()
o Added asynsend3() that takes optional flags; asynsend() is now a
  #define passing in 0 as third parameter
o Made PM/VFS protocol asynchronous; reintroduced tell_fs()
o Made PM_BASE request/reply number range unique
o Hacked in a horrible temporary workaround into RS to deal with newly
  revealed RS-PM-VFS race condition triangle until VFS is asynchronous

System signal handling:
o Fixed shutdown logic of device drivers; removed old SIGKSTOP signal
o Removed is-superuser check from PM's do_procstat() (aka getsigset())
o Added sigset macros to allow system processes to deal with the full
  signal set, rather than just the POSIX subset

Miscellaneous PM fixes:
o Split do_getset into do_get and do_set, merging common code and making
  structure clearer
o Fixed setpriority() being able to put to sleep processes using an
  invalid parameter, or revive zombie processes
o Made find_proc() global; removed obsolete proc_from_pid()
o Cleanup here and there

Also included:
o Fixed false-positive boot order kernel warning
o Removed last traces of old NOTIFY_FROM code

THINGS OF POSSIBLE INTEREST

o It should now be possible to run PM at any priority, even lower than
  user processes
o No assumptions are made about communication speed between PM and VFS,
  although communication must be FIFO
o A debugger will now receive incoming debuggee signals at kill time
  only; the process may not yet be fully stopped
o A first step has been made towards making the SYSTEM task preemptible

5f497bcf22 - Introduce some macros for field names, so that endpt, pendpt,
addr and taddr don't have to be defined any more, so that <sys/mman.h>
    can be included for proper prototypes of munmap() and friends.
  - rename our GETPID to MINIX_GETPID to avoid a name conflict with
    other sources
  - PM needs its own munmap() and munmap_text() to avoid sending messages
    to VM at the startup phase. It *does* want to do that, but only
    after initialising. So they're called again with unmap_ok set to 1
    later.
  - getnuid(), getngid() implementation

  - process calling ptrace must be target process's parent
  - process must call wait/waitpid before using ptrace on stopped child
  - no ptrace on zombies
o Allow user processes to use ptrace(T_STOP) to stop an active child

3cc092ff06 . new kernel call sysctl for generic unprivileged system operations;
now used for printing diagnostic messages through the kernel message
   buffer. this lets processes print diagnostics without sending messages
   to tty and log directly, simplifying the message protocol a lot and
   reducing difficulties with deadlocks and other situations in which
   diagnostics are blackholed (e.g. grants don't work). this makes
   DIAGNOSTICS(_S), ASYN_DIAGNOSTICS and DIAG_REPL obsolete, although tty
   and log still accept the codes for 'old' binaries. This also simplifies
   diagnostics in several servers and drivers - only tty needs its own
   kputc() now.
 . simplifications in vfs, and some effort to get the vnode references
   right (consistent) even during shutdown. m_mounted_on is now NULL
   for root filesystems (!) (the original and new root), a less awkward
   special case than 'm_mounted_on == m_root_node'. root now has exactly
   one reference, to root, if no files are open, just like all other
   filesystems. m_driver_e is unused.

6f77685609 Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386,
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.

 . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
   other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
   but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
 . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
 . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
   architecture-independent functions.
 . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
   and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
 . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
   gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
   If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
 . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
   kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
 . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
   know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
   i386.
 . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
 . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
 . fixes for new include files

files deleted:
 . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
 . klib86.s - only for 86

i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
 . mpx386.s (entry point)
 . klib386.s
 . sconst.h
 . exception.c
 . protect.c

1e656b349d . processes stay ZOMBIE, even after wait(), to avoid wrongly seeing them

  when a handled signal is delivered, before computing 
  stack locations for sys_sigsend(). (fixes race condition
  when runnable processes get signals, and e.g. get scheduled
  before FS sends a reply to unpause(), which can make the
  signal stack location wrong.)

e9aabcf2f8 Disabled building rescue driver (no longer needed). Moved allocmem from
library to the memory driver. Always put output from within TTY directly on
the console. Removed second include of driver.h from tty.c. Made tty_inrepcode
bigger. First step to move PM and FS calls that are not regular (API)
system calls out of callnr.h (renumbered them, and removed them from the
table.c files). Imported the Minix-vmd uname implementation. This provides
a more stable ABI than the current implementation. Added a bit of security
checking. Unfortunately not nearly enough to get a secure system. Fixed a
bug related to the sizes of the programs in the image (in PM patch_mem_chunks).

eae250dea4 . load average calculation changed to calculate it all over every tick
instead of keeping a running total of enqueued processes
   (because somehow the load average was broken)

   a top implementation
 . fixed arg to sys_nice() to make it an endpoint, not a slot number

pm: fixed rebooting by making a copy of the monitor code from the user

    sys_abort() is called.

    also added more info to the "can't reply" panic.

7967177710 endpoint-aware conversion of servers.
'who', indicating caller number in pm and fs and some other servers, has
been removed in favour of 'who_e' (endpoint) and 'who_p' (proc nr.).

In both PM and FS, isokendpt() convert endpoints to process slot
numbers, returning OK if it was a valid and consistent endpoint number.
okendpt() does the same but panic()s if it doesn't succeed. (In PM,
this is pm_isok..)

pm and fs keep their own records of process endpoints in their proc tables,
which are needed to make kernel calls about those processes.

message field names have changed.

fs drivers are endpoints.

fs now doesn't try to get out of driver deadlock, as the protocol isn't
supposed to let that happen any more. (A warning is printed if ELOCKED
is detected though.)

fproc[].fp_task (indicating which driver the process is suspended on)
became an int.

PM and FS now get endpoint numbers of initial boot processes from the
kernel. These happen to be the same as the old proc numbers, to let
user processes reach them with the old numbers, but FS and PM don't know
that. All new processes after INIT, even after the generation number
wraps around, get endpoint numbers with generation 1 and higher, so
the first instances of the boot processes are the only processes ever
to have endpoint numbers in the old proc number range.

More return code checks of sys_* functions have been added.

IS has become endpoint-aware. Ditched the 'text' and 'data' fields
in the kernel dump (which show locations, not sizes, so aren't terribly
useful) in favour of the endpoint number. Proc number is still visible.

Some other dumps (e.g. dmap, rs) show endpoint numbers now too which got
the formatting changed.

PM reading segments using rw_seg() has changed - it uses other fields
in the message now instead of encoding the segment and process number and
fd in the fd field. For that it uses _read_pm() and _write_pm() which to
_taskcall()s directly in pm/misc.c.

PM now sys_exit()s itself on panic(), instead of sys_abort().

RS also talks in endpoints instead of process numbers.

50b06261b6 Implementation of truncate(), ftruncate() and the F_FREESP fcntl().
Implemented by changing write_map to accept a WMAP_FREE flag. In that
case, it doesn't update the datablock (creating indirect zones as
necessary) pointer, but it frees the datablock if present. Also it
frees the single and double indirect blocks if unused.

This makes the implementation of truncate_inode() simpler.
truncate_inode() now accepts a truncation length which makes
implementing truncate() and ftruncate() simple.

This also allowed implementing the F_FREESP fcntl().

6a911b5284 Merge of minix-vmd symlink code.
. new_node() now returns inode of parent dir as argument that
	  has to be put_node()d again by the caller of new_node().
	  it can also return the name of the last component as last_dir()
	  did.
	. advance() takes a pointer to a pointer of an inode as the
	  parent now. This parent can change, in which case the old
	  one is put_node()d and a new one is put there.
	. eat_path() replaced by more flexible parse_path()
	. last_dir() replaced by call to parse_path().
	. do_slink(), do_readlink(), do_lstat() and slink_traverse() added.

Also added some truncate()/ftruncate()-introduction related changes.
(e.g. renamed truncate() to truncate_inode().)
