0c1cd8720a VFS: fix last_dir not returning last directory
If the provided path was only a single component (i.e., without
slashes), then last_dir would return early and skip the symlink
detection (i.e., check whether the path ends in a symlink and resolve
that first before returning). This bug triggered an assert in open
which expects that an advance after an last_dir (with VMNT_WRITE lock)
does not yield another vmnt lock.

230ea1ce13 VFS: remove erroneous assert
The assert was meant as an additional check to the assert in link.c:198.
The reasoning behind the assert in link.c:198 is that once you've
obtained a write lock on a vmnt, you can't get an additional read lock
on the same vmnt. However, that does not always hold for the assert in
path.c:281 where the situation could be that you've obtained a read lock
and managed to get another read lock (this is possible). In other words,
the assert in path.c:281 is not the right place to check for that
situation.

c540bcb001 VFS: various select fixes
- Fix locking bug when unable to send DEV_SELECT request. Upon failure
  VFS tried to cancel the select operation, but this failed due to trying
  to lock a filp that was already locked to send the request in the first
  place. Do_select_request now handles locking of filps itself instead of
  relying on the caller to do it.  This fixes a crash when killing INET.
- Fix failure to revive a process after a non-blocking select operation
  yielded no ready select operations when replying DEV_SEL_REPL1.
- Improve readability by using OK, SUSPEND, and standard error values as
  results instead of having separate macros in select.
- Don't print not having a driver for a major device; after killing a driver
  select will trigger this printf.

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

0bd011affd PM: extend srv_fork to set a specific UID
Currently, all servers and drivers run as root as they are forks of
RS. srv_fork now tells PM with which credentials to run the resulting
fork. Subsequently, PM lets VFS now as well.

This patch also fixes the following bugs:
 - RS doesn't initialize the setugid variable during exec, causing the
   servers and drivers to run setuid rendering the srv_fork extension
   useless.
 - PM erroneously tells VFS to run processes setuid. This doesn't
   actually lead to setuid processes as VFS sets {r,e}uid and {r,e}gid
   properly before checking PM's approval.

6f374faca5 Add "expected size" parameter to getsysinfo()
This patch provides basic protection against damage resulting from
differently compiled servers blindly copying tables to one another.
In every getsysinfo() call, the caller is provided with the expected
size of the requested data structure. The callee fails the call if
the expected size does not match the data structure's actual size.

b4d909d415 Split block/character protocols and libdriver
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.

ef0a265086 New stat structure.
* VFS and installed MFSes must be in sync before and after this change *

Use struct stat from NetBSD. It requires adding new STAT, FSTAT and LSTAT
syscalls. Libc modification is both backward and forward compatible.

Also new struct stat uses modern field sizes to avoid ABI
incompatibility, when we update uid_t, gid_t and company.
Exceptions are ino_t and off_t in old libc (though paddings added).

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

aba392e630 Clean up and fix multiple bugs in select:
- Remove redundant code.
 - Always wait for the initial reply from an asynchronous select request,
   even if the select has been satisfied on another file descriptor or
   was canceled due to a serious error.
 - Restart asynchronous selects if upon reply from the driver turns out
   that there are deferred operations (and do not forget we're still
   interested in the results of the deferred operations).
 - Do not hang a non-blocking select when another blocking select on
   the same filp is still blocking.
 - Split blocking operations in read, write, and exceptions (i.e.,
   blocking on read does not imply the write will block as well).
 - Some loops would iterate over OPEN_MAX file descriptors instead of
   the "highest" file descriptor.
 - Use proper internal error return values.
 - A secondary reply from a synchronous driver is essentially the same
   as from an asynchronous driver (the only difference being how the 
   answer is received). Merge.
 - Return proper error code after a driver failure.
 - Auto-detect whether a driver is synchronous or asynchronous.
 - Remove some code duplication.
 - Clean up code (coding style, add missing comments, put all select
   related code together).

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.

- mapdriver() only adds an entry in the dmap table in VFS.
- dev_up() is only executed upon reception of a driver up event.

INET CHANGES:
- INET no longer searches for existing drivers instances at startup.
- A newtwork driver is (re)initialized upon reception of a driver up event.
- Networking startup is now race-free by design. No need to waste 5 seconds
at startup any more.

DRIVER CHANGES:
- Every driver publishes driver up events when starting for the first time or
in case of restart when recovery actions must be taken in the upper layers.
- Driver up events are published by drivers through DS. 
- For regular drivers, VFS is normally the only subscriber, but not necessarily.
For instance, when the filter driver is in use, it must subscribe to driver
up events to initiate recovery.
- For network drivers, inet is the only subscriber for now.
- Every VFS driver is statically linked with libdriver, every network driver
is statically linked with libnetdriver.

DRIVER LIBRARIES CHANGES:
- Libdriver is extended to provide generic receive() and ds_publish() interfaces
for VFS drivers.
- driver_receive() is a wrapper for sef_receive() also used in driver_task()
to discard spurious messages that were meant to be delivered to a previous
version of the driver.
- driver_receive_mq() is the same as driver_receive() but integrates support
for queued messages.
- driver_announce() publishes a driver up event for VFS drivers and marks
the driver as initialized and expecting a DEV_OPEN message.
- Libnetdriver is introduced to provide similar receive() and ds_publish()
interfaces for network drivers (netdriver_announce() and netdriver_receive()).
- Network drivers all support live update with no state transfer now.

KERNEL CHANGES:
- Added kernel call statectl for state management. Used by driver_announce() to
unblock eventual callers sendrecing to the driver.

cb176df60f New RS and new signal handling for system processes.
UPDATING INFO:
20100317:
        /usr/src/etc/system.conf updated to ignore default kernel calls: copy
        it (or merge it) to /etc/system.conf.
        The hello driver (/dev/hello) added to the distribution:
        # cd /usr/src/commands/scripts && make clean install
        # cd /dev && MAKEDEV hello

KERNEL CHANGES:
- Generic signal handling support. The kernel no longer assumes PM as a signal
manager for every process. The signal manager of a given process can now be
specified in its privilege slot. When a signal has to be delivered, the kernel
performs the lookup and forwards the signal to the appropriate signal manager.
PM is the default signal manager for user processes, RS is the default signal
manager for system processes. To enable ptrace()ing for system processes, it
is sufficient to change the default signal manager to PM. This will temporarily
disable crash recovery, though.
- sys_exit() is now split into sys_exit() (i.e. exit() for system processes,
which generates a self-termination signal), and sys_clear() (i.e. used by PM
to ask the kernel to clear a process slot when a process exits).
- Added a new kernel call (i.e. sys_update()) to swap two process slots and
implement live update.

PM CHANGES:
- Posix signal handling is no longer allowed for system processes. System
signals are split into two fixed categories: termination and non-termination
signals. When a non-termination signaled is processed, PM transforms the signal
into an IPC message and delivers the message to the system process. When a
termination signal is processed, PM terminates the process.
- PM no longer assumes itself as the signal manager for system processes. It now
makes sure that every system signal goes through the kernel before being
actually processes. The kernel will then dispatch the signal to the appropriate
signal manager which may or may not be PM.

SYSLIB CHANGES:
- Simplified SEF init and LU callbacks.
- Added additional predefined SEF callbacks to debug crash recovery and
live update.
- Fixed a temporary ack in the SEF init protocol. SEF init reply is now
completely synchronous.
- Added SEF signal event type to provide a uniform interface for system
processes to deal with signals. A sef_cb_signal_handler() callback is
available for system processes to handle every received signal. A
sef_cb_signal_manager() callback is used by signal managers to process
system signals on behalf of the kernel.
- Fixed a few bugs with memory mapping and DS.

VM CHANGES:
- Page faults and memory requests coming from the kernel are now implemented
using signals.
- Added a new VM call to swap two process slots and implement live update.
- The call is used by RS at update time and in turn invokes the kernel call
sys_update().

RS CHANGES:
- RS has been reworked with a better functional decomposition.
- Better kernel call masks. com.h now defines the set of very basic kernel calls
every system service is allowed to use. This makes system.conf simpler and
easier to maintain. In addition, this guarantees a higher level of isolation
for system libraries that use one or more kernel calls internally (e.g. printf).
- RS is the default signal manager for system processes. By default, RS
intercepts every signal delivered to every system process. This makes crash
recovery possible before bringing PM and friends in the loop.
- RS now supports fast rollback when something goes wrong while initializing
the new version during a live update.
- Live update is now implemented by keeping the two versions side-by-side and
swapping the process slots when the old version is ready to update.
- Crash recovery is now implemented by keeping the two versions side-by-side
and cleaning up the old version only when the recovery process is complete.

DS CHANGES:
- Fixed a bug when the process doing ds_publish() or ds_delete() is not known
by DS.
- Fixed the completely broken support for strings. String publishing is now
implemented in the system library and simply wraps publishing of memory ranges.
Ideally, we should adopt a similar approach for other data types as well.
- Test suite fixed.

DRIVER CHANGES:
- The hello driver has been added to the Minix distribution to demonstrate basic
live update and crash recovery functionalities.
- Other drivers have been adapted to conform the new SEF interface.

35a108b911 panic() cleanup.
this change
   - makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
     no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
     needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
   - unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
     vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
     in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
   - throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
     the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
     so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
         panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
     looks like:
         at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
         syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
   - throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
   - harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
     that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
     (messes up the formatting) in panic()
   - throws out a few per-server panic() functions
   - cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()

merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.
