Fixed the following bugs:
1. Message priority was not set at all at two places
2. Limits check was not correct while returning error values
3. We are suppose to allow multiple users operate on the same queue
using a named descriptor. However any one user calling close before
the other would result in closing the queue even when other users
might be using it. Track number of users and close only if number of
users is zero. Yet to do functional tests for this, so this is untested,
but introduce it anyway at this juncture.
This patch allows user processes to send messages to kernel. Without
this change, trying to do a system call for using message queues like
sys_mq_open will fail with ECALLDENIED error number -210.
Implement message queues support for Minix.
Pending tasks:
Blocking or non blocking for send receive?
Sort by priority and time?
Test codes?
Bug fixes?
This commit adds preparatory support for forthcoming message
queue implementation to the Minix kernel. The core implementation
will be added with the next commit.
The NetBSD libc malloc implementation performs its own out-of-memory
check, presumably for performance reasons. The check makes a strong
assumption about the address space layout, which is that memory-
mapped pages are always located above the heap. However, this
assumption does not necessarily hold on MINIX3, thus resulting in
malloc reporting an out-of-memory condition without the system
actually being out of memory at all. Evidence suggests that in
particular dynamically linked (i.e., pkgsrc) binaries were affected
by this issue - most notably git.

The minix set is now divided into minix-base, minix-comp, minix-games,
minix-kernel, minix-man and minix-tests.
This allows massive space savings on the installlation CD because only
the base system used for installation is stored uncompressed. Also, it
makes the system more modular.

- retire the old shell script
- import perl script
The perl scripts has the following advantages:
- The sorting should be more stable, even accross different OSes.
- The sorted output is automatically formatted into columns
- It is much faster, even on large inputs.

The CD now boots directly from the ISO 9660 filesystem instead of using
MBR partitioning with Minix file systems. This saves some space on the
CD and reduces memory requirements by some unknown amount as the root
ramdisk is completely eliminated.
The x86 hard drive image creation is also rewritten in the same
fashion.
The setup is modified to be more NetBSD-like (unpacking sets
tarballs instead of blindly copying the CD contents). Splitting MINIX
into sets is done in another commit due to it being a nightmare to
rebase.
Since MINIX lacks union mounts for now, a bunch of ramdisks are
generated at run-time to make parts of the filesystem writeable for the
CD. This solution isn't ideal, but it's enough for an installation CD.

isofs now uses an in-memory directory listing built on-the-fly instead
of parsing the ISO 9660 data structures over and over for almost every
request. This yields huge performance improvements.
The directory listing is allocated dynamically, but Minix servers aren't
normally supposed to do that because critical servers would crash if the
system runs out of memory. isofs is quite frugal, won't allocate memory
after having the whole directory tree cached and is not that critical
(its most important job is to serve as a root file system during
installation).
The benefits and elegance of this scheme far outweights this small
problem in practice.

It's a fix for correcting cd9660 device node creation in makefs. This
fix was commited in NetBSD on May 30, 2014, after the current NetBSD
source code import, hence the cherrypicking.

This patch adds support for the wait4 system call, and with that the
wait3 call as well. The implementation is absolutely minimal: only
user and system times of the exited child are returned (with all other
rusage fields left zero), and there is no support for tracers. Still,
this should cover the main use cases of wait4.

- the userland call is now made to PM only, and PM relays the call to
other servers as appropriate; this is an ABI change that will
ultimately allow us to add proper support for wait3() and the like;
for the moment there is backward compatibility;
- the getrusage-specific kernel subcall has been removed, as it
provided only redundant functionality, and did not provide the means
to be extended correctly in the future - namely, allowing the kernel
to return different values depending on whether resource usage of
the caller (self) or its children was requested;
- VM is now told whether resource usage of the caller (self) or its
children is requested, and it refrains from filling in wrong values
for information it does not have;
- VM now uses the correct unit for the ru_maxrss values;
- VFS is cut out of the loop entirely, since it does not provide any
values at the moment; a comment explains how it should be readded.

The current value was both wrong (counting spawned kernel signals
rather than delivered user signals) and returned for the calling
process even if the request was for the process's children.
For now we are better off not populating this field at all.

The current values were both inaccurate (especially for dynamically
linked executables) and using the wrong unit (bytes, instead of
kilobytes times ticks-of-execution). For now we are better off not
populating these fields at all.

POSIX states that times() and getrusage() should only return child
user and system times of terminated children for which wait*() has
returned their PIDs.

- move MINIX3-specific files into minix/lib/libpuffs;
- resynchronize the remaining files with NetBSD code;
- remove a few unnecessary changes;
- put remaining MINIX3-specific changes in __minix blocks;
- sort out the source files being linked at all.
The result is that libpuffs now successfully links against FUSE
file system programs again. It can successfully mount, perform
some of the most basic operations, and unmount the file system.

- no longer inject fewer faults than instructed;
- no longer apply a limit on the number of injected faults;
- refactory to allow for random faults (type 99);
- also allow for stop faults (type 50);
- massive dead code cleanup;
- move outdated test cruft into tests/ subdirectory; it is kept only
as an example of how to use swifi.

At the very least, these can be used to test for the existence of
files not normally accessible by unprivileged users.
