These days, DEV_OPEN calls to character drivers block the calling
thread until completion or failure, and thus never return SUSPEND to
the caller. The same already applied to BDEV_OPEN calls to block
drivers. It has thus become impossible for a process to enter a state
of being blocked on a device open call.
There is currently no support for restarting device open calls to
restarted character drivers. This support was present in the _DOPEN
logic, but was already no longer triggering. In the future, this case
should be handled by the thread performing the open request.

Not doing so caused PFS to commit protocol violations by relying on
stale information when sending replies. This stale information always
happened to be correct, which is why the problem went unnoticed.

- change all sync char drivers into async drivers;
- retire support for the sync protocol in libchardev;
- remove async dev style, as this is now the default;
- remove dev_status from VFS;
- clean up now-unused protocol messages.

The async char protocol already has this, so this patch closes the
gap between the two protocols a bit. Support for this flag has been
added to all sync char drivers that support CANCEL at all.
The LOG driver was already using the asynchronous protocol, but it
did not support the nonblocking transfer flag. This has been fixed
as well.

As with w_task, this ensures that the field remains cleared if it is
not used. Without this, worker_stop could mistakenly identify a thread
as talking to a device driver rather than a (crashed) file server.
Change-Id: I7d3ebed3efc3cd4f5c891f61c67a6463109b6376
It was always set, but not always cleared, when talking to asynchronous
drivers. This could cause erratic behavior upon a driver crash.
Normally, a worker thread's w_task field is set when it's about to
communicate with a driver or FS. Then upon receiving a reply we can
do sanity checks (that the thread we want to wake up was actually
waiting for a reply). Also, when a driver/FS crashes, we can identify
which worker threads were talking to the crashed endpoint and handle
the error gracefully.
Asynchronous drivers are a bit special, though. In most cases, the
sender of the request is not interested in the reply (the sender was
suspended and only wants to know whether the request was successfully
caried out or not). However, the open request is special, as the reply
carries information needed by the sender. This is the only request
where a worker thread actually yields and waits for the result. This is
also the only case where we're interested in setting w_task for
asynchronous drivers.

* Removed startup code patches in lib/csu regarding kernel to userland
ABI.
* Aligned stack layout on NetBSD stack layout.
* Generate valid stack pointers instead of offsets by taking into account
_minix_kerninfo->kinfo->user_sp.
* Refactored stack generation, by moving part of execve in two
functions {minix_stack_params(), minix_stack_fill()} and using them
in execve(), rs and vm.
* Changed load offset of rtld (ld.so) to:
execi.args.stack_high - execi.args.stack_size - 0xa00000
which is 10MB below the main executable stack.

The main motivation for this change is that only Loris supports
multithreading, and Loris supports dynamic thread allocation, so the
number of supported threads can be implemented as a bit flag (i.e.,
either 1 or "at least as many as VFS has"). The ABI break obviates the
need to support file system versioning at this time, and several
other aspects are better implemented as flags as well. Other changes:
- replace peek/bpeek test upon mount with FS flag as well;
- mark libsffs as 64-bit file size capable;
- remove old (3.2.1) getdents support.

- pass in file system type through mount(2), and return this type in
statvfs structures as generated by [f]statvfs(2);
- align mount flags field with NetBSD's, splitting out service flags
which are not to be passed to VFS;
- remove limitation of mount ABI to 16-byte labels, so that labels
can be made larger in the future;
- introduce new m11 message union type for mount(2) as side effect.

The following types are modified (old -> new):
* _BSD_USECONDS_T_ int -> unsigned int
* __socklen_t __int32_t -> __uint32_t
* blksize_t uint32_t -> int32_t
* rlim_t uint32_t -> uint64_t
On ARM:
* _BSD_CLOCK_T_ int -> unsigned int
On Intel:
* _BSD_CLOCK_T_ int -> unsigned long
bin/cat is also updated in order to fix warnings.
_BSD_TIMER_T_ has still to be aligned.

When we start using a new pagetable (for a new process)
the last part is to ensure the pagetable itself can be
accessed by VM. This is done in pt_bind by updating
the "pagetable of pagetables" and we want this mapping
to match other mappings to the l1 pagetable.

Previously, PFS would incorrectly try to unsuspend the parent (i.e.,
the listening socket), resulting in the child hanging until the other
side performed another action. Test56 started failing on this now.

The VM server now manages its call masks such that all user processes
share the same call mask. As a result, an update for the call mask of
any user process will apply to all user processes. This is similar to
the privilege infrastructure employed by the kernel, and may serve as
a template for similar fine-grained restrictions in other servers.
Concretely, this patch fixes the problem of "service edit init" not
applying the given VM call mask to user processes started from RC
scripts during system startup.
In addition, this patch makes RS set a proper VM call mask for each
recovery script it spawns.

Some ARM chips handle power-off with RTC alarms. PM notifies
readclock (the driver for RTCs) about the impending power-off.
If the power-off mechanism is an RTC alarm, readclock will
set the alarm. If not, there is no effect.

-By adding MKGCC=yes and MKGCCCMDS=yes on the make commandline
it is now possible to compile and install GCC on the system.
Before doing this, if you are not using the build.sh script,
you will need to call the fetch scripts in order to retrieve
the sources of GCC and its dependencies.
-Reduce difference with NetBSD share/mk
Move Minix-specific parameters from bsd.gcc.mk to bsd.own.mk,
which is anyway patched, so that bsd.gcc.mk is now aligned
on the NetBSD version.
-Clean libraries dependencies, compiles stdc++ only if gcc is
also compiled (it is part of the gcc sources)
-Correct minix.h header sequence, cleanup spec headers.
-Fix cross-compilation from a 32bit host targeting MINIX/arm
