Ben Gras 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

.Dt SHMAT 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm shmat ,
.Nm shmdt
.Nd map/unmap shared memory
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/shm.h
.Ft void *
.Fn shmat "int shmid" "const void *shmaddr" "int shmflg"
.Ft int
.Fn shmdt "const void *shmaddr"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn shmat
maps the shared memory segment associated with the shared memory identifier
.Fa shmid
into the address space of the calling process.
The address at which the segment is mapped is determined by the
.Fa shmaddr
parameter.
If it is equal to 0, the system will pick an address itself.
Otherwise, an attempt is made to map the shared memory segment at the
address
.Fa shmaddr
specifies.
If
.Dv SHM_RND
is set in
.Fa shmflg ,
the system will round the address down to a multiple of
.Dv SHMLBA
bytes
.Pf ( Dv SHMLBA
is defined in
.In sys/shm.h ) .
.Pp
A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by specifying the
.Dv SHM_RDONLY
flag in
.Fa shmflg .
.Pp
.Fn shmdt
unmaps the shared memory segment that is currently mapped at
.Fa shmaddr
from the calling process' address space.
.Fa shmaddr
must be a value returned by a prior
.Fn shmat
call.
A shared memory segment will remain in existence until it is
removed by a call to
.Xr shmctl 2
with the
.Dv IPC_RMID
command.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn shmat
returns the address at which the shared memory segment has been mapped into
the calling process' address space when successful,
.Fn shmdt
returns 0 on successful completion.
Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned, and the global variable
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
.Fn shmat
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EACCES
The calling process has no permission to access this shared memory segment.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
There is not enough available data space for the calling process to
map the shared memory segment.
.It Bq Er EINVAL
.Fa shmid
is not a valid shared memory identifier.
.Pp
.Fa shmaddr
specifies an illegal address.
.It Bq Er EMFILE
The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit.
.El
.Pp
.Fn shmdt
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
.Fa shmaddr
is not the start address of a mapped shared memory segment.
.El

.Sh STANDARDS
The

and
.Nm shmdt
system calls conform to
.St -xsh5 .

Shared memory segments appeared in the first release of
.At V .
