. 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.

libminixfs may now be informed of changes to the block usage on the
filesystem. if the net change becomes big enough, libminixfs may
resize the cache based on the new usage.
. update the 2 FSes to provide this information to libminixfs

This commit introduces a new request type called REQ_BPEEK. It
requests minor device blocks from the FS. Analogously to REQ_PEEK,
it requests the filesystem to get the requested blocks into its
cache, without actually copying the result anywhere.

. use lmfs_* cache functions that provide the cache with inode
metadata whenever applicable, i.e. tell the cache code which
inode number and in-inode offset a particular cache block
corresponds to.
. needed for mmap implementation

The filesystems already implement REQ_PEEK, but do not fully
use the new filesystem cache code yet. (Because it isn't committed
yet..) REQ_PEEK should be disabled for them until they do.
This indicates to VFS that they are not annotating their cache
blocks (in VM) with inode number/offset info, and therefore mmap()
shouldn't succeed on any of their files. (Most importantly exec()
won't fallback elegantly otherwise.)

In order to make it more clear that ticks should be used for timers
and realtime should be used for timestamps / displaying the date/time,
getuptime() was renamed to getticks() and getuptime2() was renamed to
getuptime().
Servers, drivers, libraries, tests, etc that use getuptime()/getuptime2()
have been updated. In instances where a realtime was calculated, the
calculation was changed to use realtime.
System calls clock_getres() and clock_gettime() were added to PM/libc.
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.

The build system distinction between "bootprog" and "service" is
meaningless as boot programs are standard services.
As minix.service.mk simply imports minix.bootprog.mk, reduce confusion
by removing minix.bootprog.mk and placing the rules in minix.service.mk.

. 'anonymous' cache blocks (retrieved with NO_DEV as dev
parameter) were used to implement read()s from holes in
inodes that should return zeroes
. this is an awkward special case in the cache code though
and there's a more direct way to implement the same functionality:
instead of copying from a new, anonymous, zero block, to
the user target buffer, simply sys_safememset the user target
buffer directly. as this was the only use of this feature,
this is all that's needed to simplify the cache code a little.
Add primary cache management feature to libminixfs as mfs and ext2
currently do separately, remove cache code from mfs and ext2, and make
them use the libminixfs interface. This makes all fields of the buf
struct private to libminixfs and FS clients aren't supposed to access
them at all. Only the opaque 'void *data' field (the FS block contents,
used to be called bp) is to be accessed by the FS client.
The main purpose is to implement the interface to the 2ndary vm cache
just once, get rid of some code duplication, and add a little
abstraction to reduce the code inertia of the whole caching business.
Some minor sanity checking and prohibition done by mfs in this code
as removed from the generic primary cache code as a result:
- checking all inodes are not in use when allocating/resizing
the cache
- checking readonly filesystems aren't written to
- checking the superblock isn't written to on mounted filesystems
The minixfslib code relies on fs_blockstats() in the client filesystem to
return some FS usage information.
. all invocations were S or D, so can safely be dropped
to prepare for the segmentless world
. still assign D to the SCP_SEG field in the message
to make previous kernels usable
MFS' get_block() must never return a newly acquired block buffer that
is marked dirty from previous use. This patch replaces git-dd59d50,
which assumed a working model where blocks for device NO_DEV would
never be dirty. For at least one scenario, that assumption does not
hold, triggering superblock overwrite warnings. In this patch, blocks
are explicitly marked as clean upon being repurposed. The working
model is now restored to be: the dirty state of a block is relevant
only when its associated device is not set to NO_DEV.
POSIX mandates that a file's modification and change time be left
untouched upon truncate/ftruncate iff the file size does not change.
However, an open(O_TRUNC) call must always update the modification and
change time of the file, even if it was already zero-sized. VFS uses
the file systems' truncate call to implement O_TRUNC. This patch
replaces git-255ae85, which did not take into account the open case.
The size check is now moved into VFS, so that individual file systems
need not check for this case anymore.
On MFS file systems, the stat(2) call now counts indirect blocks as
part of the st_blocks calculation, in addition to proper initial
rounding of the file size. The returned value is now a true upper
bound on the actual number of 512-byte blocks allocated to the file.
As before, it is not accurate for sparse files.
. also implement now-possible fsck -p option
. allows unconditional fsck -p invocation at startup,
only checking each filesystem if not marked clean
. mounting unclean is allowed but is forced readonly
. updating the superblock while mounted is now not
allowed by mfs - must be done (e.g. by fsck.mfs)
on an unmounted fs
. clean flag is unset by mfs on mounting, and set by
mfs on clean unmounting (if clean flag was set at
mount time)

This patch makes PFS, EXT2 and MFS print only once that they're out of
space. After freeing up space and running out of space again, the message
will be printed again also.
This patch separates the character and block driver communication
protocols. The old character protocol remains the same, but a new
block protocol is introduced. The libdriver library is replaced by
two new libraries: libchardriver and libblockdriver. Their exposed
API, and drivers that use them, have been updated accordingly.
Together, libbdev and libblockdriver now completely abstract away
the message format used by the block protocol. As the memory driver
is both a character and a block device driver, it now implements its
own message loop.
The most important semantic change made to the block protocol is that
it is no longer possible to return both partial results and an error
for a single transfer. This simplifies the interaction between the
caller and the driver, as the I/O vector no longer needs to be copied
back. Also, drivers are now no longer supposed to decide based on the
layout of the I/O vector when a transfer should be cut short. Put
simply, transfers are now supposed to either succeed completely, or
result in an error.
After this patch, the state of the various pieces is as follows:
- block protocol: stable
- libbdev API: stable for synchronous communication
- libblockdriver API: needs slight revision (the drvlib/partition API
in particular; the threading API will also change shortly)
- character protocol: needs cleanup
- libchardriver API: needs cleanup accordingly
- driver restarts: largely unsupported until endpoint changes are
reintroduced
As a side effect, this patch eliminates several bugs, hacks, and gcc
-Wall and -W warnings all over the place. It probably introduces a
few new ones, too.
Update warning: this patch changes the protocol between MFS and disk
drivers, so in order to use old/new images, the MFS from the ramdisk
must be used to mount all file systems.
The "bdev" library provides basic primitives for file systems to talk
to block device drivers, hiding the details of the underlying protocol
and interaction model.
This version of libbdev is rather basic. It is planned to support the
following features in the long run:
- asynchronous requests and replies;
- recovery support for underlying block drivers;
- retrying of failed I/O requests.
The commit also changes our block-based file systems (mfs, ext2, isofs)
to make use of libbdev.
In some places it was assumed that PATH_MAX does not include a
terminating null character.
Increases PATH_MAX to 1024 to get in sync with NetBSD. Required some
rewriting in AVFS to keep memory usage low (the stack in use by a thread
is very small).
