. an instruction fetch pagefault generates a prefetch
abort exception, this should also be a source of
a pagefault event
. the saved_lr argument to the C exception handler was
sometimes an address, sometimes a pointer to that address;
the kernel sometimes dereferences it, so it should always be
an in-kernel address, never a userspace address. fix in mpx.S
makes it always a pointer.
. move dumping of all processes over serial out of
the arch-specific arch_system.c
The natural term to use when talking about MINIX big pages on ARM
is SECTION. A section is a level 1 page table entry pointing to
a 1MB area.

In libexec, split the memory allocation method into cleared and
non-cleared. Cleared gives zeroed memory, non-cleared gives 'junk'
memory (that will be overwritten anyway, and so needn't be cleared)
that is faster to get.
Also introduce the 'memmap' method that can be used, if available,
to map code and data from executables into a process using the
third-party mmap() mode.

We used to load the memory driver above the other modules to allow
the memory driver (ramdisk) to grow. We no longer want or need this
this as we have a working mmc driver.
To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.
This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.
. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
from the shell
. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
boot-time ramdisk files
. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
we're running on from sysenv
. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
i386 systems
. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
releasetools/

. phys_copy() (taken from memcpy) can legitimately
cause pagefaults below the source/dest address due
to word-alignment

Interrupts where not correctly masked while in kernel, which
breaks one of the current main assumptions.
Also remove some duplication on ARM asm files, and add a function
to check the status of ARM irqs (not compiled by default)

. the total amount of memory in the system didn't include the memory
used by the boot-time modules and some dynamic allocation by the
kernel at boot time (to map in VM). especially apparent on our
ARM board with 'only' 512MB of memory and a huge ramdisk.
. also: *add* the VM loaded module to the freelist after it has
been allocated for & mapped in instead of cutting it *out* of the
freelist! so we get a few more MB free..

. raise(SIGFPE) for modulo-0/divide-0 operations in
internal int division functions
. gcc: do not link with -lgcc anywhere so these internal
functions are always used from libc instead of (sometimes)
masked by -lgcc
. together fixes test53 on ARM

if an exec() fails partway through reading in the sections, the target
process is already gone and a defunct process remains. sanity checking
the binary beforehand helps that.
test10 mutilates binaries and exec()s them on purpose; making an exec()
fail cleanly in such cases seems like acceptable behaviour.
fixes test10 on ARM.

The Cycle CouNTer on ARM cannot be used reliably as it wraps around
rather quickly and can be altered by user space (on Minix). Furthermore,
it's buggy when wrapping and is not implemented at all on the Linaro
Beagleboard emulator.
This patch programs GPTIMER10 as a free running clock at 1.625 MHz (it
doesn't generate interrupts). It's memory mapped into every process,
which enables libsys to provide micro_delay().

A few kernel and calling convention adjustments to make sigsend and
sigreturn work for arm.
. provide a arch_proc_setcontext for earm in kernel
. set LR in context of signal handler to provide a proper
return address (to __sigreturn)
. change __sigreturn to retrieve the sigcontext pointer
from the sigframe struct and pass it to _sigreturn() in r0

Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.
There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
