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.

8a44a44cb9 Local APIC
- local APIC timer used as the source of time

- PIC is still used as the hw interrupt controller as we don't have
  enough info without ACPI or MPS to set up IO APICs

- remapping of APIC when switching paging on, uses the new mechanism
  to tell VM what phys areas to map in kernel's virtual space

- one more step to SMP

based on code by Arun C.

ad4dcaab71 Idle task never runs
- idle task becomes a pseudo task which is never scheduled. It is never put on
  any run queue and never enters userspace. An entry for this task still remains
  in the process table for time accounting

- Instead of panicing if there is not process to schedule, pick_proc() returns
  NULL which is a signal to put the cpu in an idle state and set everything in
  such a way that after receiving and interrupt it looks like idle task was
  preempted

- idle task is set non-preemptible to avoid handling in the timer interrupt code
  which make userspace scheduling simpler as idle task does not need to be
  handled as a special case.

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

48602fcfae NOT_REACHABLE macro
- marks code path that should be unreachable (never executed)

- if hit, panics and reports the problem

- the end of main() marked as such. The SMP changes need some magic with stack
  switching before the AP can be started as they need to run on the boot stack
  before figuring out what is their own stack. As main() uses the boot stack to,
  we need to switch to to the stack of BSP before executing the last part of
  main() which needs to be in a separate function so we can jump to it.
  Therefore restart() won't be the last call in main() which may be confusing.
  The macro can/should be used in other such places too.

cd8b915ed9 Primary goal for these changes is:
- no longer have kernel have its own page table that is loaded
    on every kernel entry (trap, interrupt, exception). the primary
    purpose is to reduce the number of required reloads.
Result:
  - kernel can only access memory of process that was running when
    kernel was entered
  - kernel must be mapped into every process page table, so traps to
    kernel keep working
Problem:
  - kernel must often access memory of arbitrary processes (e.g. send
    arbitrary processes messages); this can't happen directly any more;
    usually because that process' page table isn't loaded at all, sometimes
    because that memory isn't mapped in at all, sometimes because it isn't
    mapped in read-write.
So:
  - kernel must be able to map in memory of any process, in its own
    address space.
Implementation:
  - VM and kernel share a range of memory in which addresses of
    all page tables of all processes are available. This has two purposes:
      . Kernel has to know what data to copy in order to map in a range
      . Kernel has to know where to write the data in order to map it in
    That last point is because kernel has to write in the currently loaded
    page table.
  - Processes and kernel are separated through segments; kernel segments
    haven't changed.
  - The kernel keeps the process whose page table is currently loaded
    in 'ptproc.'
  - If it wants to map in a range of memory, it writes the value of the
    page directory entry for that range into the page directory entry
    in the currently loaded map. There is a slot reserved for such
    purposes. The kernel can then access this memory directly.
  - In order to do this, its segment has been increased (and the
    segments of processes start where it ends).
  - In the pagefault handler, detect if the kernel is doing
    'trappable' memory access (i.e. a pagefault isn't a fatal
     error) and if so,
       - set the saved instruction pointer to phys_copy_fault,
	 breaking out of phys_copy
       - set the saved eax register to the address of the page
	 fault, both for sanity checking and for checking in
	 which of the two ranges that phys_copy was called
	 with the fault occured
  - Some boot-time processes do not have their own page table,
    and are mapped in with the kernel, and separated with
    segments. The kernel detects this using HASPT. If such a
    process has to be scheduled, any page table will work and
    no page table switch is done.

Major changes in kernel are
  - When accessing user processes memory, kernel no longer
    explicitly checks before it does so if that memory is OK.
    It simply makes the mapping (if necessary), tries to do the
    operation, and traps the pagefault if that memory isn't present;
    if that happens, the copy function returns EFAULT.
    So all of the CHECKRANGE_OR_SUSPEND macros are gone.
  - Kernel no longer has to copy/read and parse page tables.
  - A message copying optimisation: when messages are copied, and
    the recipient isn't mapped in, they are copied into a buffer
    in the kernel. This is done in QueueMess. The next time
    the recipient is scheduled, this message is copied into
    its memory. This happens in schedcheck().
    This eliminates the mapping/copying step for messages, and makes
    it easier to deliver messages. This eliminates soft_notify.
  - Kernel no longer creates a page table at all, so the vm_setbuf
    and pagetable writing in memory.c is gone.

Minor changes in kernel are
  - ipc_stats thrown out, wasn't used
  - misc flags all renamed to MF_*
  - NOREC_* macros to enter and leave functions that should not
    be called recursively; just sanity checks really
  - code to fully decode segment selectors and descriptors
    to print on exceptions
  - lots of vmassert()s added, only executed if DEBUG_VMASSERT is 1

Tomas Hruby
2e293ce7c0 system_init() renamed to arch_init()
- a better name for architecture specific init function

- some of x86 init code must execute in protected mode

- prot_init() removed from this function and still called in cstart() Imho this
  should be called from the architecture specific assembly not cstart. cstart
  perform Minix monitor specific tasks and will be touched once another
  bootloader is in use, e.g. booting via tftp, therefore we keep it as is for
  now.

- this is a backport from the SMP code which requires this. Merging will be simpler

b8b8f537bd IPC privileges fixes
Kernel:
o Remove s_ipc_sendrec, instead using s_ipc_to for all send primitives
o Centralize s_ipc_to bit manipulation,
  - disallowing assignment of bits pointing to unused priv structs;
  - preventing send-to-self by not setting bit for own priv struct;
  - preserving send mask matrix symmetry in all cases
o Add IPC send mask checks to SENDA, which were missing entirely somehow
o Slightly improve IPC stats accounting for SENDA
o Remove SYSTEM from user processes' send mask
o Half-fix the dependency between boot image order and process numbers,
  - correcting the table order of the boot processes;
  - documenting the order requirement needed for proper send masks;
  - warning at boot time if the order is violated

RS:
o Add support in /etc/drivers.conf for servers that talk to user processes,
  - disallowing IPC to user processes if no "ipc" field is present
  - adding a special "USER" label to explicitly allow IPC to user processes
o Always apply IPC masks when specified; remove -i flag from service(8)
o Use kernel send mask symmetry to delay adding IPC permissions for labels
  that do not exist yet, adding them to that label's process upon creation
o Add VM to ipc permissions list for rtl8139 and fxp in drivers.conf

Left to future fixes:
o Removal of the table order vs process numbers dependency altogether,
  possibly using per-process send list structures as used for SYSTEM calls
o Proper assignment of send masks to boot processes;
  some of the assigned (~0) masks are much wider than necessary
o Proper assignment of IPC send masks for many more servers in drivers.conf
o Removal of the debugging warning about the now legitimate case where RS's
  add_forward_ipc cannot find the IPC destination's label yet

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

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
 . protect.h
 . i8269.c

2e89eb5270 Change allowed kernel call bitmap to an array of bitmaps to allow
any number of kernel calls.

Allowed kernel calls are stored in table.c for every image process as a
variably-sized array of allowed calls. This is used to fill the bitmap
of size determined at compile time by the number of kernel calls. This
filling is done by main.c. There is a special call called SYS_ALL_CALLS
which fills the bitmap of allowed calls completely, if that is the only
entry in the array.

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

1335d5d700 'proc number' is process slot, 'endpoint' are generation-aware process
instance numbers, encoded and decoded using macros in <minix/endpoint.h>.

proc number -> endpoint migration
  . proc_nr in the interrupt hook is now an endpoint, proc_nr_e.
  . m_source for messages and notifies is now an endpoint, instead of
    proc number.
  . isokendpt() converts an endpoint to a process number, returns
    success (but fails if the process number is out of range, the
    process slot is not a living process, or the given endpoint
    number does not match the endpoint number in the process slot,
    indicating an old process).
  . okendpt() is the same as isokendpt(), but panic()s if the conversion
    fails. This is mainly used for decoding message.m_source endpoints,
    and other endpoint numbers in kernel data structures, which should
    always be correct.
  . if DEBUG_ENABLE_IPC_WARNINGS is enabled, isokendpt() and okendpt()
    get passed the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the calling lines, and
    print messages about what is wrong with the endpoint number
    (out of range proc, empty proc, or inconsistent endpoint number),
    with the caller, making finding where the conversion failed easy
    without having to include code for every call to print where things
    went wrong. Sometimes this is harmless (wrong arg to a kernel call),
    sometimes it's a fatal internal inconsistency (bogus m_source).
  . some process table fields have been appended an _e to indicate it's
    become and endpoint.
  . process endpoint is stored in p_endpoint, without generation number.
    it turns out the kernel never needs the generation number, except
    when fork()ing, so it's decoded then.
  . kernel calls all take endpoints as arguments, not proc numbers.
    the one exception is sys_fork(), which needs to know in which slot
    to put the child.
