libc/sys-minix/mount.c: fix overflow
Fix a bug where a filesystem label could overflow the reserved buffer.
This was already possible with 32 bits values, but is more proeminent

Add a compile-time check for IPC messages size
This patch adds compile-time check for each message type to ensure the
size is within the IPC assumptions.
This will allow messages specific to a protocol to use from now on the
proper types for each fields, while preventing from any unsuspected
side effect when updating type definitions.

Remove some legacy support in rc scripts & some cleanup
* Remove support for the Poor Man fstab
* Remove checks for the missing ARCH kernel variable
* Remove .ashrc which is anyway only read once per login
* Cleanup PATH variable
- introduce new call numbers, names, and field aliases;
- initialize request messages to zero for all ABI calls;
- format callnr.h in the same way as com.h;
- redo call tables in both servers;
- remove param.h namespace pollution in the servers;
- make brk(2) go to VM directly, rather than through PM;
- remove obsolete BRK, UTIME, and WAIT calls;
- clean up path copying routine in VFS;
- move remaining system calls from libminlib to libc;
- correct some errno-related mistakes in libc routines.
For common calls, give servers unique call numbers
The getsysinfo(2), getrusage(2), and svrctl(2) calls used the same
call number to different services. Since we want to give each service
its own call number ranges, this is no longer tenable. This patch
introduces per-service call numbers for these calls.
Note that the remainder of the COMMON_ range is left intact, as these
the remaining requests in it are processed by SEF and thus server-
agnostic. The range should really be prefixed with SEF_ now.
- move system calls for use by services from libminlib into libsys;
- move srv_fork(2) and srv_kill(2) from RS and into libsys;
- replace getprocnr(2) with sef_self(3);
- rename previous getnprocnr(2) to getprocnr(2);
- clean up getepinfo(2);
- change all libsys calls that used _syscall to use _taskcall, so as
to avoid going through errno to pass errors; this is already how
most calls work anyway, and many of the calls previously using
_syscall were already assumed to return the actual error;
- initialize request messages to zero, for future compatibility
(note that this does not include PCI calls, which are in need of a
much bigger overhaul, nor kernel calls);
- clean up more of dead DS code as a side effect.
The original delayed reply functionality was there to support swapping
in processes as they are unblocked, but swap support is long gone.
These days, this code only incurs overhead and hides bugs.
When a process forks, VFS is informed on behalf of the child. This is
correct, because otherwise signals to the new child could get lost.
However, that means that the parent is not blocked from being killed
by a signal while the child is blocked on this VFS call. As a result,
by the time that the VFS reply comes in, the parent may already be
dead, and the child may thus have been assigned a new parent: INIT.
Previously, PM would blindly reply to the parent when the VFS reply
for the fork came in. Thus, it could end up sending a reply to INIT,
even though INIT did not issue the fork(2) call. This could end up
satisfying a different call from INIT (typically waitpid(2)) and then
cause an error when that other call was complete.
It would be possible to set VFS_CALL on both forking parent and child.
This patch instead adds a flag (NEW_PARENT) to note that a process's
parent has changed during a VFS call.
- introduce PROC_STOPPED flag, which tracks whether the process is
stopped on PROC_STOP in the kernel, rather than implicitly deriving
this from PM_SIG_PENDING;
- make the process resumption test based on current state rather than
state transitions;
- add and clarify several flag checks in the signal handling code;
- add test79 to test signal handling robustness.

- 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.
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.
- 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.
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.
- move VFS calls to a separate source file;
- solve a few subtle bugs, mostly in error handling;
- simplify debug reporting code;
- make a few definitions more independent;
- restyle to something closer to KNF.
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.
