ba49a155b5 fb: introduce framebuffer support to Minix
This patch introduces a framebuffer to Minix. It's written for the ARM
port of Minix, but has an architectural split that separates the
hardware dependent part from the non-hardware dependent part. Futhermore,
this driver was developed using a screen that has a native resolution of
1024x600 pixels and having lack of support for obtaining EDID from the
screen. Consequently, it uses a hardcoded resolution of 1024x600.

The driver uses an interface based on the Linux ioctl API, but supports
only a very limited subset.

252a83f614 Fix command line history in ash
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.

b8a678ef1d Cross compile on minix support
* Remade patch so it works with minix patch tool.

 * New MINIX tar support -ox, so revert back to it

   In fetch scripts, tar had been replaced by bsdtar as the prebvious
   tar did not support the -o flag under minix, which is required to
   prevent usage of tar file stored user and group information.

   This introduces portability problems. As our new tar tool now
   support that flag revert back to improve portability.

9152e1c5a7 Upgrading build system to new NetBSD revision
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
 * tools
 * distribution
 * sets
 * release

The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.

For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.

Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
 * Read share/mk/bsd.README
 * If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
   by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
 * Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
   the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
   If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
 * Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
   life easier, do not fight it.

Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"

ad898517ac sprofdiff for comparing sprofile results
This patch adds the sprofdiff tool, which compares two sets of profiling
output files. It sorts processes and symbols by difference in average
number of samples, placing those that took more time on the left first
and those that took more time on the right last. If multiple runs are
combined, a standard deviation is computed and this is used to compute
the significance level, which gives an indication of which differences
are likely to be due to chance.

This tool is run not on the raw profiling files, but on the output of
sprofalyze -d (a new option). Though having to use two tools and an
intermediate file seems a bit awkward, the advantage is that the
original source tree is not needed to resolve the symbols. For
comparisons, this is very useful. Also, the intermediate file is in a
text format that can easily be processed by scripts, which may be useful
for other purposes as well.

50e2064049 No more intel/minix segments.
This commit removes all traces of Minix segments (the text/data/stack
memory map abstraction in the kernel) and significance of Intel segments
(hardware segments like CS, DS that add offsets to all addressing before
page table translation). This ultimately simplifies the memory layout
and addressing and makes the same layout possible on non-Intel
architectures.

There are only two types of addresses in the world now: virtual
and physical; even the kernel and processes have the same virtual
address space. Kernel and user processes can be distinguished at a
glance as processes won't use 0xF0000000 and above.

No static pre-allocated memory sizes exist any more.

Changes to booting:
        . The pre_init.c leaves the kernel and modules exactly as
          they were left by the bootloader in physical memory
        . The kernel starts running using physical addressing,
          loaded at a fixed location given in its linker script by the
          bootloader.  All code and data in this phase are linked to
          this fixed low location.
        . It makes a bootstrap pagetable to map itself to a
          fixed high location (also in linker script) and jumps to
          the high address. All code and data then use this high addressing.
        . All code/data symbols linked at the low addresses is prefixed by
          an objcopy step with __k_unpaged_*, so that that code cannot
          reference highly-linked symbols (which aren't valid yet) or vice
          versa (symbols that aren't valid any more).
        . The two addressing modes are separated in the linker script by
          collecting the unpaged_*.o objects and linking them with low
          addresses, and linking the rest high. Some objects are linked
          twice, once low and once high.
        . The bootstrap phase passes a lot of information (e.g. free memory
          list, physical location of the modules, etc.) using the kinfo
          struct.
        . After this bootstrap the low-linked part is freed.
        . The kernel maps in VM into the bootstrap page table so that VM can
          begin executing. Its first job is to make page tables for all other
          boot processes. So VM runs before RS, and RS gets a fully dynamic,
          VM-managed address space. VM gets its privilege info from RS as usual
          but that happens after RS starts running.
        . Both the kernel loading VM and VM organizing boot processes happen
	  using the libexec logic. This removes the last reason for VM to
	  still know much about exec() and vm/exec.c is gone.

Further Implementation:
        . All segments are based at 0 and have a 4 GB limit.
        . The kernel is mapped in at the top of the virtual address
          space so as not to constrain the user processes.
        . Processes do not use segments from the LDT at all; there are
          no segments in the LDT any more, so no LLDT is needed.
        . The Minix segments T/D/S are gone and so none of the
          user-space or in-kernel copy functions use them. The copy
          functions use a process endpoint of NONE to realize it's
          a physical address, virtual otherwise.
        . The umap call only makes sense to translate a virtual address
          to a physical address now.
        . Segments-related calls like newmap and alloc_segments are gone.
        . All segments-related translation in VM is gone (vir2map etc).
        . Initialization in VM is simpler as no moving around is necessary.
        . VM and all other boot processes can be linked wherever they wish
          and will be mapped in at the right location by the kernel and VM
          respectively.

Other changes:
        . The multiboot code is less special: it does not use mb_print
          for its diagnostics any more but uses printf() as normal, saving
          the output into the diagnostics buffer, only printing to the
          screen using the direct print functions if a panic() occurs.
        . The multiboot code uses the flexible 'free memory map list'
          style to receive the list of free memory if available.
        . The kernel determines the memory layout of the processes to
          a degree: it tells VM where the kernel starts and ends and
          where the kernel wants the top of the process to be. VM then
          uses this entire range, i.e. the stack is right at the top,
          and mmap()ped bits of memory are placed below that downwards,
          and the break grows upwards.

Other Consequences:
        . Every process gets its own page table as address spaces
          can't be separated any more by segments.
        . As all segments are 0-based, there is no distinction between
          virtual and linear addresses, nor between userspace and
          kernel addresses.
        . Less work is done when context switching, leading to a net
          performance increase. (8% faster on my machine for 'make servers'.)
	. The layout and configuration of the GDT makes sysenter and syscall
	  possible.

6759b24c57 /etc/rc: use mount -a instead of manual parsing
The rc script manually parses /etc/fstab to mount all file systems.
To do that it needs /bin/sed which does not exist anymore. mount(8)
now supports the -a flag which causes it to mount all file systems
listed in /etc/fstab except for '/'. File systems marked with 'noauto'
are skipped.

769af57274 further libexec generalization
. new mode for sys_memset: include process so memset can be
	  done in physical or virtual address space.
	. add a mode to mmap() that lets a process allocate uninitialized
	  memory.
	. this allows an exec()er (RS, VFS, etc.) to request uninitialized
	  memory from VM and selectively clear the ranges that don't come
	  from a file, leaving no uninitialized memory left for the process
	  to see.
	. use callbacks for clearing the process, clearing memory in the
	  process, and copying into the process; so that the libexec code
	  can be used from rs, vfs, and in the future, kernel (to load vm)
	  and vm (to load boot-time processes)
