MFS' get_block() must never return a newly acquired block buffer that
is marked dirty from previous use. This patch replaces git-dd59d50,
which assumed a working model where blocks for device NO_DEV would
never be dirty. For at least one scenario, that assumption does not
hold, triggering superblock overwrite warnings. In this patch, blocks
are explicitly marked as clean upon being repurposed. The working
model is now restored to be: the dirty state of a block is relevant
only when its associated device is not set to NO_DEV.
POSIX mandates that a file's modification and change time be left
untouched upon truncate/ftruncate iff the file size does not change.
However, an open(O_TRUNC) call must always update the modification and
change time of the file, even if it was already zero-sized. VFS uses
the file systems' truncate call to implement O_TRUNC. This patch
replaces git-255ae85, which did not take into account the open case.
The size check is now moved into VFS, so that individual file systems
need not check for this case anymore.
Previously, procfs would consider all processes that have a non-free
kernel slot *or* an in-use PM slot. However, since AVFS, a non-free
kernel slot does not imply an in-use PM slot. As a result, procfs
may use PM slots that have a zero PID value. If two such entries are
present in the retrieved PM table, procfs would try to add two inodes
with the same name "0", triggering an assertion in vtreefs.
This patch makes procfs consider only the PM slot for (non-task)
processes.

VFS: fix filp reuse race
Pipes consist of two filps (read filp and write filp) and a shared
vnode. When the writer leaves the filp reference count drops to
zero and subsequent find_filp()s should not find the filp when a
reader looks for it and the reader gets EOF. However, the pipe()
system call tries to find two filps, marks them in use, and only
after a successful node creation on PFS, overwrites the shared
vnode with the new vnode. Consequently, this leaves a small window
where a just closed 'pipe write filp' gets reused and marked as
present, before becoming the actual new 'pipe write filp' for a new
pipe. A reader for the old pipe will think a writer is present and
wait for that writer to write something or to leave; both actions
should revive the suspended reader. This will never happen and the
reader will be stuck forever.

TTY: don't allow multiple readers on tty minor
TTY has no way of keeping track of multiple readers for a tty minor
device. Instead, it stores a read request for the last reader only.
Consequently, the first ("overwritten") reader gets stuck on a read
request that's never going to be finished. Also, the overwriting
causes a grant mismatch in VFS when TTY returns a reply for the
second reader.
This patch is a work around for the actual problem (i.e., keeping track
of multiple readers). It checks whether there is a read operation in
progress and returns an error if it is --preventing that reader from
getting overwritten and stuck. It fixes a bug triggered by executing
'top | more' and pressing the space bar for a while (easily reproducable
in a VM, not on hardware).

VFS: make m_in job local
By making m_in job local (i.e., each job has its own copy of m_in instead
of refering to the global m_in) we don't have to store and restore m_in
on every thread yield. This reduces overhead. Moreover, remove the
assumption that m_in is preserved. Do_XXX functions have to copy the
system call parameters as soon as possible and only pass those copies to
other functions.
Furthermore, this patch cleans up some code and uses better types in a lot
of places.

Previously, the mmap address (if given) was merely used as a lower
bound, and then possibly overriden with a hint. Now, the mapping is
first tried at the exact given address. If that fails, the start of
the mmap range is used as lower bound (which is then still overridden
by the hint for efficiency).
This allows two pages to be mapped in at predefined addresses, where
the second address is lower than the first. That was not possible.
