9639af49d2 RS: fix IPC privilege computation bug
Take into account the ALL and ALL_SYS cases when constructing proper
symmetrical IPC send masks. Fix system.conf accordingly, to keep
userland processes from sending to several non-interface servers and
drivers. Also fix IS's F4 formatting.

7bef45ad3b system.conf: base ipc permissions on process names rather than labels
From now on, the "ipc" directive in system.conf refers to process names
instead of labels, similar to the "control" directive. The old, more
fine-grained approach is deemed unnecessary and cumbersome at this time.

As side effects, this patch unbreaks late IPC permission computation as
well as the filter driver.

06b6e5624a SMP - Changed prototype of sys_schedule()
- sys_schedule can change only selected values, -1 means that the
  current value should be kept unchanged. For instance we mostly want
  to change the scheduling quantum and priority but we want to keep
  the process at the current cpu

- RS can hand off its processes to scheduler

- service can read the destination cpu from system.conf

- RS can pass the information farther

b09bcf6779 Scheduling server (by Bjorn Swift)
In this second phase, scheduling is moved from PM to its own
scheduler (see r6557 for phase one). In the next phase we hope to a)
include useful information in the "out of quantum" message and b)
create some simple scheduling policy that makes use of that
information.

When the system starts up, PM will iterate over its process table and
ask SCHED to take over scheduling unprivileged processes. This is
done by sending a SCHEDULING_START message to SCHED. This message
includes the processes endpoint, the parent's endpoint and its nice
level. The scheduler adds this process to its schedproc table, issues
a schedctl, and returns its own endpoint to PM - as the endpoint of
the effective scheduler. When a process terminates, a SCHEDULING_STOP
message is sent to the scheduler.

The reason for this effective endpoint is for future compatibility.
Some day, we may have a scheduler that, instead of scheduling the
process itself, forwards the SCHEDULING_START message on to another
scheduler.

PM has information on who schedules whom. As such, scheduling
messages from user-land are sent through PM. An example is when
processes change their priority, using nice(). In that case, a
getsetpriority message is sent to PM, which then sends a
SCHEDULING_SET_NICE to the process's effective scheduler.

When a process is forked through PM, it inherits its parent's
scheduler, but is spawned with an empty quantum. As before, a request
to fork a process flows through VM before returning to PM, which then
wakes up the child process. This flow has been modified slightly so
that PM notifies the scheduler of the new process, before waking up
the child process. If the scheduler fails to take over scheduling,
the child process is torn down and the fork fails with an erroneous
value.

Process priority is entirely decided upon using nice levels. PM
stores a copy of each process's nice level and when a child is
forked, its parent's nice level is sent in the SCHEDULING_START
message. How this level is mapped to a priority queue is up to the
scheduler. It should be noted that the nice level is used to
determine the max_priority and the parent could have been in a lower
priority when it was spawned. To prevent a CPU intensive process from
hawking the CPU by continuously forking children that get scheduled
in the max_priority, the scheduler should determine in which queue
the parent is currently scheduled, and schedule the child in that
same queue.

Other fixes: The USER_Q in kernel/proc.h was incorrectly defined as
NR_SCHED_QUEUES/2. That results in a "off by one" error when
converting priority->nice->priority for nice=0. This also had the
side effect that if someone were to set the MAX_USER_Q to something
else than 0, then USER_Q would be off.

7c334e2670 RS - fixed timeouts
- rs does not assume hz==60

- rs adjusts its timeout ticks by the system clock frequency

- drivers have time to reply if hz is set too high (e.g. 1000+) for
  instance when debugging

0164957abb Unified crash recovery and live update.
RS CHANGES:
- Crash recovery is now implemented like live update. Two instances are kept
side by side and the dead version is live updated into the new one. The endpoint
doesn't change and the failure is not exposed (by default) to other system
services.
- The new instance can be created reactively (when a crash is detected) or
proactively. In the latter case, RS can be instructed to keep a replica of
the system service to perform a hot swap when the service fails. The flag
SF_USE_REPL is set in that case.
- The new flag SF_USE_REPL is supported for services in the boot image and
dynamically started services through the RS interface (i.e. -p option in the
service utility).
- Fixed a free unallocated memory bug for core system services.
