    VFS: further cleanup of device code

    - all TTY-related exceptions have now been merged into the regular
      code paths, allowing non-TTY drivers to expose TTY-like devices;
    - as part of this, CTTY_MAJOR is now fully managed by VFS instead of
      being an ugly stepchild of the TTY driver;
    - device styles have become completely obsolete, support for them has
      been removed throughout the system; same for device flags, which had
      already become useless a while ago;
    - device map open/close and I/O function pointers have lost their use,
      thus finally making the VFS device code actually readable;
    - the device-unrelated pm_setsid has been moved to misc.c;
    - some other small cleanup-related changes.

    Extend dupfrom(2) into copyfd(2)

    This single function allows copying file descriptors from and to
    processes, and closing a previously copied remote file descriptor.
    This function replaces the five FD-related UDS backcalls. While it
    limits the total number of in-flight file descriptors to OPEN_MAX,
    this change greatly improves crash recovery support of UDS, since all
    in-flight file descriptors will be closed instead of keeping them
    open indefinitely (causing VFS to crash on system shutdown). With the
    new copyfd call, UDS becomes simpler, and the concept of filps is no
    longer exposed outside of VFS.

    This patch also moves the checkperms(2) stub into libminlib, thus
    fully abstracting away message details of VFS communication from UDS.

    UDS: sendmsg/recvmsg fixes

    - sendmsg: the accumulation of multiple in-flight file descriptors was
      already described in the comments; now the code actually does what
      the comments say :) -- also, added robustness in case of a failure;
    - recvmsg: only create a socket rights message if there are file
      descriptors pending at all;
    - recvmsg: copy back the control message length;
    - recvmsg: use CMSG_SPACE instead of CMSG_LEN to compute sizes.

    Not sure if all of this is now working according to specification,
    but at least tmux seems to be happy with it.

    UDS: align struct sockaddr_un with NetBSD

    Well, make a start, anyway. Our copy was missing a legacy field from
    the structure, that could very well cause applications to fail trying
    to set, clear, or check it. As a consequence, SUN_LEN now yields the
    same result as on NetBSD.

    at_wini: PCI-only now; one controller per instance

    - remove non-PCI support, since all supported platforms with at_wini
      devices also have PCI support by now;
    - correspondingly, stop using information from the BIOS altogether;
    - limit each driver instance to one controller, to be in line with
      the general MINIX3 one-instance-per-controller driver model; this
      limits the number of disks per at_wini instance to four;
    - go through the controllers by the order of their occurrence in the
      PCI table, thus removing the exception for compatibility devices;
    - let the second at_wini instance shut down silently if there is only
      one IDE controller;
    - clean up some extra code we don't need anymore, and resolve some
      WARNS=5 level warnings.

    Overall, these changes should simplify automatic loading of the right
    disk drivers at boot time in the future.

    - change "vid/did" to "vid:did", old form still supported for now;
    - allow "vid:did/subvid:subdid" specification in system.conf, in
      which case a device will be visible to a driver if the subsystem
      VID/DID also match.

    uname: normalize release and version

    Most systems provide the full version number in the
    'release' field and the kernel version in 'version'.
    Minix used to split the full version number between
    release and version which caused problems for pkgsrc
    and other applications. This patch brings Minix's
    uname in line with other systems such as NetBSD.
    It also brings the getty banner in line with NetBSD.

    Old Minix uname:
    	sysname->Minix
    	nodename->10.0.2.15
    	release->3
    	version->2.1
    	machine->i686

    ARM serial driver: Comment termios_baud_rate.

    The B0-B115200 defines are flags, and not the actual speed they
    represent.

    This fixes an incoherency for B0 handling, and documents why it is
    required to call the function again after changing the speed flag.

    DFL_BAUD is set to one of the flag, so to translate it to an actual
    speed, the function calls itself again, which will always be able to
    finish without inducing another recursive call.

    TTY: skip /dev/log checks if console is serial

    It is unclear why /dev/log has its own open/close rules, but those
    rules conflict with serial console redirection.  This does not solve
    the root of the problem, but it puts back in place more or less the
    same workaround that was already in place before the TTY overhaul.

    VFS/FS: replace protocol version with flag field

    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.

    Alignement on netbsd types, part 1

    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.

    clock_t is currently a signed type, but in NetBSD this is not the
    case. As we plan on aligning our types we have to change this as this

    Input infrastructure, INPUT server, PCKBD driver

    This commit separates the low-level keyboard driver from TTY, putting
    it in a separate driver (PCKBD). The commit also separates management
    of raw input devices from TTY, and puts it in a separate server
    (INPUT). All keyboard and mouse input from hardware is sent by drivers
    to the INPUT server, which either sends it to a process that has
    opened a raw input device, or otherwise forwards it to TTY for
    standard processing.

    Design by Dirk Vogt. Prototype by Uli Kastlunger.

    Additional changes made to the prototype:

    - the event communication is now based on USB HID codes; all input
      drivers have to use USB codes to describe events;
    - all TTY keymaps have been converted to USB format, with the effect
      that a single keymap covers all keys; there is no (static) escaped
      keymap anymore;
    - further keymap tweaks now allow remapping of literally all keys;
    - input device renumbering and protocol rewrite;
    - INPUT server rewrite, with added support for cancel and select;
    - PCKBD reimplementation, including PC/AT-to-USB translation;
    - support for manipulating keyboard LEDs has been added;
    - keyboard and mouse multiplexer devices have been added to INPUT,
      primarily so that an X server need only open two devices;
    - a new "libinputdriver" library abstracts away protocol details from
      input drivers, and should be used by all future input drivers;
    - both INPUT and PCKBD can be restarted;
    - TTY is now scheduled by KERNEL, so that it won't be punished for
      running a lot; without this, simply running "yes" on the console
      kills the system;
    - the KIOCBELL IOCTL has been moved to /dev/console;
    - support for the SCANCODES termios setting has been removed;
    - obsolete keymap compression has been removed;
    - the obsolete Olivetti M24 keymap has been removed.

    TTY: allow selecting on translated minors

    Due to the existence of /dev/console and /dev/log, and the new
    "console=" setting, it is now possible that a single non-PTY object
    (e.g. serial) is accessible through two different minor numbers.  This
    poses a problem when sending late select replies (CDEV_SEL2_REPLY),
    because the object's minor number can not be used to identify the
    device.  Since selecting on such objects through translated minor
    numbers is actually required, we now save the minor number used to
    initiate the select query in order to send a late reply.

    The solution is suboptimal, as it is not possible to use two different
    minors to select on the same object at once.  In the future, there
    should be at least one select record for each minor that can be used
    with each object.

    VM: readd support for forgetting cached FS blocks

    Not all services involved in block I/O go through VM to access the
    blocks they need.  As a result, the blocks in VM may become stale,
    possibly causing corruption when the stale copy is restored by a
    service that does go through VM later on.  This patch restores support
    for forgetting cached blocks that belong to a particular device, and
    makes the relevant file systems use this functionality 1) when
    requested by VFS through REQ_FLUSH, and 2) upon unmount.

    Remove support for reopening character devices

    Previously, VFS would reopen a character device after a driver crash
    if the associated file descriptor was opened with the O_REOPEN flag.
    This patch removes support for this feature. The code was complex,
    full of uncovered corner cases, and hard to test. Moreover, it did not
    actually hide the crash from user applications: they would get an
    error code to indicate that something went wrong, and have to decide
    based on the nature of the underlying device how to continue.

    - remove support for O_REOPEN, and make playwave(1) reopen its device;
    - remove support for the DEV_REOPEN protocol message;
    - remove all code in VFS related to reopening character devices;
    - no longer change VFS filp reference count and FD bitmap upon filp
      invalidation; instead, make get_filp* fail all calls on invalidated
      FDs except when obtained with the locktype VNODE_OPCL which is used
      by close_fd only;
    - remove the VFS fproc file descriptor bitmap entirely, returning to
      the situation that a FD is in use if its slot points to a filp; use
      FILP_CLOSED as single means of marking a filp as invalidated.

    libchardriver: full API rewrite

    The new API now covers the entire character driver protocol, while
    hiding all the message details. It should therefore be used by all
    new character drivers. All existing drivers that already made use of
    libchardriver have been changed to use the new API.

    As one of the most important API changes, support for scatter and
    gather transfers has been removed, as several key drivers already
    did not support this, and it could be supported at the safecopy
    level instead (for a future readv/writev).

    Additional changes include:

    - respond to block device open requests to avoid hanging VFS threads;
    - add support for sef_cancel.

    field, which is an alias for BDEV_FLAGS. The contents of this field
    are to be used only in highly specific situations. It should be
    preserved (not replaced!) by services that forward IOCTL requests,
    and may be set to NONE for service-initiated IOCTL requests.

    VFS: update filp_pos on chardev I/O (workaround)

    Previously, reading from or writing to a character device would not
    update the file position on the corresponding filp object.  Performing
    this update correctly is not trivial: during and after the I/O
    operation, the filp object must not be locked.  Ideally, read/write
    requests on a filp that is already involved in a read/write operation,
    should be queued.  For now, we optimistically update the file position
    at the start of the I/O; this works under the assumptions listed in
    the corresponding comment.

    Opening and closing the master side of a pseudo terminal without

    would be possible but not allow for I/O.  Finally, attempting to

    VFS: worker thread model overhaul

    The main purpose of this patch is to fix handling of unpause calls
    from PM while another call is ongoing. The solution to this problem
    sparked a full revision of the threading model, consisting of a large
    number of related changes:

    - all active worker threads are now always associated with a process,
      and every process has at most one active thread working for it;
    - the process lock is always held by a process's worker thread;
    - a process can now have both normal work and postponed PM work
      associated to it;
    - timer expiry and non-postponed PM work is done from the main thread;
    - filp garbage collection is done from a thread associated with VFS;
    - reboot calls from PM are now done from a thread associated with PM;
    - the DS events handler is protected from starting multiple threads;
    - support for a system worker thread has been removed;
    - the deadlock recovery thread has been replaced by a parameter to the
      worker_start() function; the number of worker threads has
      consequently been increased by one;
    - saving and restoring of global but per-thread variables is now
      centralized in worker_suspend() and worker_resume(); err_code is now
      saved and restored in all cases;
    - the concept of jobs has been removed, and job_m_in now points to a
      message stored in the worker thread structure instead;
    - the PM lock has been removed;
    - the separate exec lock has been replaced by a lock on the VM
      process, which was already being locked for exec calls anyway;
    - PM_UNPAUSE is now processed as a postponed PM request, from a thread
      associated with the target process;
    - the FP_DROP_WORK flag has been removed, since it is no longer more
      than just an optimization and only applied to processes operating on
      a pipe when getting killed;
    - assignment to "fp" now takes place only when obtaining new work in
      the main thread or a worker thread, when resuming execution of a
      thread, and in the special case of exiting processes during reboot;
    - there are no longer special cases where the yield() call is used to
      force a thread to run.

    Retire ptrace(T_DUMPCORE), dumpcore(1), gcore(1)

    The T_DUMPCORE implementation was not only broken - it would currently
    produce a coredump of the tracer process rather than the traced
    process - but also deeply flawed, and fixing it would require serious
    alteration of PM's internal state machine. It should be possible to
    implement the same functionality in userland, and that is now the
    suggested way forward. For now, also remove the (identical) utilities
    using T_DUMPCORE: dumpcore(1) and gcore(1).

    VFS: process char driver replies from main thread

    Previously, processing of some replies coming from character drivers
    could block on locks, and therefore, such processing was done from
    threads that were associated to the character driver process. The
    hidden consequence of this was that if all threads were in use, VFS
    could drop replies coming from the driver. This patch returns VFS to
    a situation where the replies from character drivers are processed
    instantly from the main thread, by removing the situations that may
    cause VFS to block while handling those replies.

    - change the locking model for select, so that it will never block
      on any processing that happens after the select call has been set
      up, in particular processing of character driver select replies;
    - clearly mark all select routines that may never block;
    - protect against race conditions in do_select as result of the
      locking that still does happen there (as is required for pipes);
    - also handle select timers from the main thread;
    - move processing of character driver replies into device.c.

    VFS: remove FP_BLOCKED_ON_DOPEN

    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.

    Sync char protocol: add nonblocking transfer flag

    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.

    VFS: set w_drv_sendrec only when needed

    As with w_task, this ensures that the field remains cleared if it is

    VFS: set w_task only when needed

    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.

49eb1f4806 vm: new secondary cache code
Primary purpose of change: to support the mmap implementation, VM must
know both (a) about some block metadata for FS cache blocks, i.e.
inode numbers and inode offsets where applicable; and (b) know about
*all* cache blocks, i.e.  also of the FS primary caches and not just
the blocks that spill into the secondary one. This changes the
interface and VM data structures.

This change is only for the interface (libminixfs) and VM data
structures; the filesystem code is unmodified, so although the
secondary cache will be used as normal, blocks will not be annotated
with inode information until the FS is modified to provide this
information. Until it is modified, mmap of files will fail gracefully
on such filesystems.

This is indicated to VFS/VM by returning ENOSYS for REQ_PEEK.

516fec97d9 libc: add clock_settime() system call.
This also adds the sys_settime() kernel call which allows for the adjusting
of the clock named realtime in the kernel. The existing sys_stime()
function is still needed for a separate job (setting the boottime). The
boottime is set in the readclock driver. The sys_settime() interface is
meant to be flexible and will support both clock_settime() and adjtime()
when adjtime() is implemented later.

settimeofday() was adjusted to use the clock_settime() interface.

One side note discovered during testing: uptime(1) (part of the last(1)),
uses wtmp to determine boottime (not Minix's times(2)). This leads `uptime`
to report odd results when you set the time to a time prior to boottime.
This isn't a new bug introduced by my changes. It's been there for a while.

e67fc5771d libc: add clock_getres()/clock_gettime() system calls.
In order to make it more clear that ticks should be used for timers
and realtime should be used for timestamps / displaying the date/time,
getuptime() was renamed to getticks() and getuptime2() was renamed to
getuptime().

Servers, drivers, libraries, tests, etc that use getuptime()/getuptime2()
have been updated. In instances where a realtime was calculated, the
calculation was changed to use realtime.

System calls clock_getres() and clock_gettime() were added to PM/libc.

db8c1ee9d0 ARM: provide free running clock to replace ccnt
The Cycle CouNTer on ARM cannot be used reliably as it wraps around
rather quickly and can be altered by user space (on Minix). Furthermore,
it's buggy when wrapping and is not implemented at all on the Linaro
Beagleboard emulator.

This patch programs GPTIMER10 as a free running clock at 1.625 MHz (it
doesn't generate interrupts). It's memory mapped into every process,
which enables libsys to provide micro_delay().

9152e1c5a7 Upgrading build system to new NetBSD revision
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
 * tools
 * distribution
 * sets
 * release

The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.

For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.

Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
 * Read share/mk/bsd.README
 * If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
   by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
 * Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
   the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
   If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
 * Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
   life easier, do not fight it.

Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"

	. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
	  for call number
	. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
	  has to save it
	. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
	  type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
	  were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
	  is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
	  from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
	  done as some information is missing.
	. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
	  process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
	  is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
	  context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
	  the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
	  will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
	  sigreturn case.

50e2064049 No more intel/minix segments.
This commit removes all traces of Minix segments (the text/data/stack
memory map abstraction in the kernel) and significance of Intel segments
(hardware segments like CS, DS that add offsets to all addressing before
page table translation). This ultimately simplifies the memory layout
and addressing and makes the same layout possible on non-Intel
architectures.

There are only two types of addresses in the world now: virtual
and physical; even the kernel and processes have the same virtual
address space. Kernel and user processes can be distinguished at a
glance as processes won't use 0xF0000000 and above.

No static pre-allocated memory sizes exist any more.

Changes to booting:
        . The pre_init.c leaves the kernel and modules exactly as
          they were left by the bootloader in physical memory
        . The kernel starts running using physical addressing,
          loaded at a fixed location given in its linker script by the
          bootloader.  All code and data in this phase are linked to
          this fixed low location.
        . It makes a bootstrap pagetable to map itself to a
          fixed high location (also in linker script) and jumps to
          the high address. All code and data then use this high addressing.
        . All code/data symbols linked at the low addresses is prefixed by
          an objcopy step with __k_unpaged_*, so that that code cannot
          reference highly-linked symbols (which aren't valid yet) or vice
          versa (symbols that aren't valid any more).
        . The two addressing modes are separated in the linker script by
          collecting the unpaged_*.o objects and linking them with low
          addresses, and linking the rest high. Some objects are linked
          twice, once low and once high.
        . The bootstrap phase passes a lot of information (e.g. free memory
          list, physical location of the modules, etc.) using the kinfo
          struct.
        . After this bootstrap the low-linked part is freed.
        . The kernel maps in VM into the bootstrap page table so that VM can
          begin executing. Its first job is to make page tables for all other
          boot processes. So VM runs before RS, and RS gets a fully dynamic,
          VM-managed address space. VM gets its privilege info from RS as usual
          but that happens after RS starts running.
        . Both the kernel loading VM and VM organizing boot processes happen
	  using the libexec logic. This removes the last reason for VM to
	  still know much about exec() and vm/exec.c is gone.

Further Implementation:
        . All segments are based at 0 and have a 4 GB limit.
        . The kernel is mapped in at the top of the virtual address
          space so as not to constrain the user processes.
        . Processes do not use segments from the LDT at all; there are
          no segments in the LDT any more, so no LLDT is needed.
        . The Minix segments T/D/S are gone and so none of the
          user-space or in-kernel copy functions use them. The copy
          functions use a process endpoint of NONE to realize it's
          a physical address, virtual otherwise.
        . The umap call only makes sense to translate a virtual address
          to a physical address now.
        . Segments-related calls like newmap and alloc_segments are gone.
        . All segments-related translation in VM is gone (vir2map etc).
        . Initialization in VM is simpler as no moving around is necessary.
        . VM and all other boot processes can be linked wherever they wish
          and will be mapped in at the right location by the kernel and VM
          respectively.

Other changes:
        . The multiboot code is less special: it does not use mb_print
          for its diagnostics any more but uses printf() as normal, saving
          the output into the diagnostics buffer, only printing to the
          screen using the direct print functions if a panic() occurs.
        . The multiboot code uses the flexible 'free memory map list'
          style to receive the list of free memory if available.
        . The kernel determines the memory layout of the processes to
          a degree: it tells VM where the kernel starts and ends and
          where the kernel wants the top of the process to be. VM then
          uses this entire range, i.e. the stack is right at the top,
          and mmap()ped bits of memory are placed below that downwards,
          and the break grows upwards.

Other Consequences:
        . Every process gets its own page table as address spaces
          can't be separated any more by segments.
        . As all segments are 0-based, there is no distinction between
          virtual and linear addresses, nor between userspace and
          kernel addresses.
        . Less work is done when context switching, leading to a net
          performance increase. (8% faster on my machine for 'make servers'.)
	. The layout and configuration of the GDT makes sysenter and syscall
	  possible.

	  first, then call third-party mmap()s to reserve memory, then
	  copy the executable file section contents in, all using callbacks
	  tailored to the caller's way of starting an executable
	. i.e. no more explicit EXEC_NEWMEM-style calls in PM or VM
	  as with rigid 2-section arguments
	. this naturally allows generalizing exec() by simply loading
	  all ELF sections
	. drop/merge of lots of duplicate exec() code into libexec
	. not copying the code sections to vfs and into the executable
