. libc: add vfs_mmap, a way for vfs to initiate mmap()s.
This is a good special case to have as vfs is a slightly
different client from regular user processes. It doesn't do it
for itself, and has the dev & inode info already so the callback
to VFS for the lookup isn't necessary. So it has different info
to have to give to VM.
. libc: also add minix_mmap64() that accepts a 64-bit offset, even
though our off_t is still 32 bit now.
. to support mmap, we need to create new references to FD's (such
as an FD) so that the mmapped object can never be removed even if
all FD's are closed. To do that we conceptually dup the
filedescriptor into a new range that is only visible to the system.
So there are FDS_PER_PROCESS fd's, which is more than OPEN_MAX,
per process, and user processes can still use up to OPEN_MAX
FD's. mmap()ped objects then get extra reference in the invisible
range so user processes can't close them. The in-vfs fd_set is
of size FDS_PER_PROCESS.
. On exec() time, try to mmap() in the executable if available.
(It is not yet available in this commit.)
. To support mmap(), add do_vm_call that allows VM to lookup
(to ino+dev), do i/o from and close FD's on behalf of other
processes.
. To make this possible, a few functions have 2 more arguments
to make the target process explicit (instead of the implicit
global fp) and to specify whether the request is from a user
process or the system (which implies whether FD's starting at
OPEN_MAX are valid). These are close_fd, common_open, actual_llseek,
actual_read_write_peek, get_fd and get_filp2.

Some (backwards-compatible) changes in mmap() call message fields
that allow for a 64-bit offset. minix_mmap() takes an off_t and
minix_mmap64() takes a u64_t. Some mmap() work in VM goes into a
separate function, using the new fields, so that that can be re-used
when files are to be mapped (future commit).

complete munmap implementation; single-page references made
a general munmap() implementation possible to write cleanly.
. memory: let the MIOCRAMSIZE ioctl set the imgrd device
size (but only to 0)
. let the ramdisk command set sizes to 0
. use this command to set /dev/imgrd to 0 after mounting /usr
in /etc/rc, so the boot time ramdisk is freed (about 4MB
currently)
these two functions will be used to support all exec() functionality
going into a single library shared by RS and VFS and exec() knowledge
leaving VM.
. third-party mmap: allow certain processes (VFS, RS) to
do mmap() on behalf of another process
. PROCCTL: used to free and clear a process' address space
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
