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.

. kernel: signal handler args for ARM
. kernel: sanity check return address (LSB indicates thumb mode)
. libc: properly retrieve signal mask for ARM
together fix test37 on ARM.

The 'polarity' of the RW bit is inversed on ARM, causing one
of the sanity check compensations to fail. ARM now runs basic
stuff with sanity checks passing.

* let busy loops timeout.
* Start using interrupt handlers.
* Allocate the ramdisk only when used.

Also did some cleanup in ash sources, to make minix modifications
more obvious, as well as some simplifications (by removing code which
is never compiled)
Removed EDITLINE support, use libedit, which does the termcap/terminfo
handling.

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

. make vm tell kernel virtual locations of mappings
. makes _minix_kerninfo feature work
. fix for mappings being larger than what 1 pde can address
(e.g. devices memory requested on arm)
. still requires a special case for devices memory for the
kernel, which has to switch to virtual addressing

Small GPIO driver that exports a few pins using a virtual file
system. Currently the two user leds and the user button are exported.

- Do not run the fetch.sh script every time
- Do not run the configure script with MKUPDATE=yes (build.sh -u)
- The fetched GNU source are hidden from `git status`
- With CLEANFETCHED=yes, `nbmake -C tools cleandir` will remove the
fetched GNU source and return the MINIX tree to its pristine state.
- Avoid (harmless) message when building in parallel, about find
running against an inexistant path
Notice that the GNU tools are "installed" on every run, even with
MKUPDATE=yes; this is a feature of the NetBSD build system, because
in case of changes in dependencies it is impossible to know them.
See commit 1.27 2004-06-12 of tools/Makefile.gnuhost in NetBSD's src/
The downloaded tarballs are not removed with CLEANFETCHED:
they are supposed to be unmodified, and the exact name is not known
to the Makefile's, since it is engraved in each fetch.sh script (and
we do not want to have the same information in several places.)
On ARM we can't yet globally map pages into every process. So now that
we correctly receive the pointer to the globally mapped kern_info
struct, we have to ignore it on ARM because attempting to dereference
the pointer yields a segfault.
So we don't have to figure out which line generated this error by
searching for the subtest/error code combination.
