/* This file contains a collection of miscellaneous procedures.  Some of them
 * perform simple system calls.  Some others do a little part of system calls
 * that are mostly performed by the Memory Manager.
 *
 * The entry points into this file are
 *   do_dup:	  perform the DUP system call
 *   do_fcntl:	  perform the FCNTL system call
 *   do_sync:	  perform the SYNC system call
 *   do_fsync:	  perform the FSYNC system call
 *   pm_reboot:	  sync disks and prepare for shutdown
 *   pm_fork:	  adjust the tables after PM has performed a FORK system call
 *   do_exec:	  handle files with FD_CLOEXEC on after PM has done an EXEC
 *   do_exit:	  a process has exited; note that in the tables
 *   do_set:	  set uid or gid for some process
 *   do_revive:	  revive a process that was waiting for something (e.g. TTY)
 *   do_svrctl:	  file system control
 *   do_getsysinfo:	request copy of FS data structure
 *   pm_dumpcore: create a core dump
