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

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).

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.

f2a85e58d9 Various updates.
* Removed some variants of the SYS_GETINFO calls from the kernel;
  replaced them with new PM and utils libary functionality. Fixed
  bugs in utils library that used old get_kenv() variant.
* Implemented a buffer in the kernel to gather random data.
  Memory driver periodically checks this for /dev/random.
  A better random algorithm can now be implemented in the driver.
  Removed SYS_RANDOM; the SYS_GETINFO call is used instead.
* Remove SYS_KMALLOC from the kernel. Memory allocation can now
  be done at the process manager with new 'other' library functions.

6d23f072f3 Cleaned up src/lib/utils library. Renamed server_ functions to more logical
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
