a615a7d4d2 Kernel: retain FPU state upon save
On the x86, saving FPU state has the side effect of resetting this
state. In some cases (fork, getcontext), this would cause the state
to be lost. This patch restores the FPU state right after saving it,
except when different state is loaded immediately after.

0a8a2ecfb5 Kernel: pass FPU restore exception to user process
Previously, user processes could cause a kernel panic upon FPU state
restore, by passing bogus FPU state to the kernel (through e.g.
sigreturn). With this patch, the process is now sent a SIGFPE signal
instead.

2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.

Changes in this commit:

	. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
	. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
	  can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
	. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
	. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
	. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
	  commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
	. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
	. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
	. test compile fix
	. harmonize includes
	. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
	  kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
	  is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
	  less on the state of the machine making them now.
	. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
	. reduce mtree

5c0927e108 SMP - clock calibration spurious IRQ deadlock fix
- this patch fixes a deadlock which may occur if we get a
   spurious interrupt while calibrating clocks during the boot
   time. Since we never handle interrupts while in the kernel
   (BKL locked) the interrupt code locks the lock. This is a
   different situation, a corner case, boot time only. We do not
   return to userspace but to the kernel, so the BKL is not
   unlocked. So we need irq handler which leaves the BKL
   unlocked.  The clock handler does it already, this patch adds
   a dummy spurious irq handler for the same reason. It is better
   to handle the situation this way to keep the normal runtime
   code simple.

a6d0ee24c3 Use correct value for _NSIG
User processes can send signals with number up to _NSIG. There are a few
signal numbers above that used by the kernel, but should explicitly not
be included in the range or range checks in PM will fail.

The system processes use a different version of sigaddset, sigdelset,
sigemptyset, sigfillset, and sigismember which does not include a range
check on signal numbers (as opposed to the normal functions used by normal
processes).

This patch unbreaks test37 when the boot image is compiled with GCC/Clang.

758d788bbe SMP - asyn send SMP safe
- we must not deliver messages from/to unstable address spaces.
  In such a case, we must postpone the delivery. To make sute
  that a process which is expecting an asynchronous message does
  not starve, we must remember that we skipped delivery of some
  messages and we must try to deliver again once the source
  address space is stable again.

8fa95abae4 SMP - fixed usage of stale TLB entries
- when kernel copies from userspace, it must be sure that the TLB
  entries are not stale and thus the referenced memory is correct

- everytime we change a process' address space we set p_stale_tlb
  bits for all CPUs.

- Whenever a cpu finds its bit set when it wants to access the
  process' memory, it refreshes the TLB

- it is more conservative than it needs to be but it has low
  overhead than checking precisely

cc17b27a2b Build NetBSD libc library in world in ELF mode.
3 sets of libraries are built now:
  . ack: all libraries that ack can compile (/usr/lib/i386/)
  . clang+elf: all libraries with minix headers (/usr/lib/)
  . clang+elf: all libraries with netbsd headers (/usr/netbsd/)

Once everything can be compiled with netbsd libraries and headers, the
/usr/netbsd hierarchy will be obsolete and its libraries compiled with
netbsd headers will be installed in /usr/lib, and its headers
in /usr/include. (i.e. minix libc and current minix headers set
will be gone.)

To use the NetBSD libc system (libraries + headers) before
it is the default libc, see:
   http://wiki.minix3.org/en/DevelopersGuide/UsingNetBSDCode
This wiki page also documents the maintenance of the patch
files of minix-specific changes to imported NetBSD code.

Changes in this commit:
  . libsys: Add NBSD compilation and create a safe NBSD-based libc.
  . Port rest of libraries (except libddekit) to new header system.
  . Enable compilation of libddekit with new headers.
  . Enable kernel compilation with new headers.
  . Enable drivers compilation with new headers.
  . Port legacy commands to new headers and libc.
  . Port servers to new headers.
  . Add <sys/sigcontext.h> in compat library.
  . Remove dependency file in tree.
  . Enable compilation of common/lib/libc/atomic in libsys
  . Do not generate RCSID strings in libc.
  . Temporarily disable zoneinfo as they are incompatible with NetBSD format
  . obj-nbsd for .gitignore
  . Procfs: use only integer arithmetic. (Antoine Leca)
  . Increase ramdisk size to create NBSD-based images.
  . Remove INCSYMLINKS handling hack.
  . Add nbsd_include/sys/exec_elf.h
  . Enable ELF compilation with NBSD libc.
  . Add 'make nbsdsrc' in tools to download reference NetBSD sources.
  . Automate minix-port.patch creation.
  . Avoid using fstavfs() as it is *extremely* slow and unneeded.
  . Set err() as PRIVATE to avoid name clash with libc.
  . [NBSD] servers/vm: remove compilation warnings.
  . u32 is not a long in NBSD headers.
  . UPDATING info on netbsd hierarchy
  . commands fixes for netbsd libc

6e0f3b3bda Split off sys_umap_remote from sys_umap
sys_umap now supports only:
- looking up the physical address of a virtual address in the address space
  of the caller;
- looking up the physical address of a grant for which the caller is the
  grantee.

This is enough for nearly all umap users. The new sys_umap_remote supports
lookups in arbitrary address spaces and grants for arbitrary grantees.

c51cd5fe91 Server/driver protocols: no longer allow third-party copies.
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.

From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:

- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
  when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
  DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
  in DEV_OPEN.

The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.

c6e6aa8850 mark forked process as such in the kernel p_name
. helps debugging output; you can see the difference
    between parent and child easily (it's sometimes 
    confusing to see an expected endpoint number with
    an unexpected name, i.e. before exec())
  . when processes crash after fork and before exec, it's
    an instant hint that that's what's going on, instead of
    it being the parent (endpoint numbers don't usually convey
    this)
  . name returns to 'normal' after exec(), so *F isn't visible
    normally at all. (Except for for RS which forks apparently.)

- the timer is restarted a little later before leaving to userspace

- LAPIC_TIMER_ICR is written before LAPIC_LVTTR so the newest value is
  used

1786291e32 Watchdog and kernel profiling for AMD
- a different set of MSRs and performance counters is used on AMD

  performance counters that we use

ef92583c3a Busy idle loop when profiling
- the Intel architecture cycle counter (performance counter) does not
  count when the CPU is idle therefore we use busy loop instead of
  halting the cpu when there is nothing to schedule

- the downside is that handling interrupts may be accounted as idle
  time if a sample is taken before we get out of the nested trap and
  pick a new process

87c576584d Internal 64M buffer for profiling
- when profiling is compiled in kernel includes a 64M buffer for

- 64M is the default used by profile tool as its buffer

- when using nmi profiling it is not possible to always copy sample
  stright to userland as the nmi may (and does) happen in bad moments

  profiling stops

- using NMI makes kernel profiling possible

  may get unpredictable interrupts in kernel and thus possibly many
  false positives

- if watchdog is not enabled at boot time, profiling enables it and
  turns it of again when done

db12229ce3 New profile protocol
- when kernel profiles a process for the first time it saves an entry
  describing the process [endpoint|name]

- every profile sample is only [endpoint|pc]

- profile utility creates a table of endpoint <-> name relations and
  translates endpoints of samples into names and writing out the
  results to comply with the processing tools

- "task" endpoints like KERNEL are negative thus we must cast it to
  unsigned when hashing

a665ae3de1 Userspace scheduling - exporting stats
- contributed by Bjorn Swift

- adds process accounting, for example counting the number of messages
  sent, how often the process was preemted and how much time it spent
  in the run queue. These statistics, along with the current cpu load,
  are sent back to the user-space scheduler in the Out Of Quantum
  message.

- the user-space scheduler may choose to make use of these statistics
  when making scheduling decisions. For isntance the cpu load becomes
  especially useful when scheduling on multiple cores.

1f89845bb2 SMP - can boot even if some cpus fail to boot
- EBADCPU is returned is scheduler tries to run a process on a CPU
  that either does not exist or isn't booted

- this change was originally meant to deal with stupid cpuid
  instruction which provides totally useless information about
  hyper-threading and MPS which does not deal with ht at all. ACPI
  provides correct information. If ht is turned off it looks like some
  CPUs failed to boot.  Nevertheless this patch may be handy for
  testing/benchmarking in the future.
