Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
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

libmthread: add guard pages to stacks
Add guard pages to the top of the stack to catch overflow errors.
Moreover, fix a bug where libmthread would keep using a stack that was
just deallocated; a detached thread would deallocate its own stack after
it was finished running).

Remove libkern, leave just header.
Boot stuff dependencies from NetBSD.
Patch by Antoine Leca. Relocated to src/sys.
The port is using the same libminc.a as usual MINIX services (and does
not use NetBSD libkern); the headers imported from NetBSD sys/ tree
have been kept to a minimum (still numbers higher than 30 though.)
Note the peculiar way to use libraries (libsa, libi386, etc.): the
source code is shared, but each component builds its own copy of the
library, with its own set of preprocessor defines.

AVFS: fix various system call interruption issues
- When cancelling ioctls, VFS did not remember which file descriptor
to cancel and sent bogus to the driver.
- Select state was not cleaned up when select()ing process was
interrupted.
- Process trying to do a system call at the exact same time as a user
trying to interrupt the process, could cause the system call worker
thread to overwrite state belonging to the worker thread trying to
exit the process. This led to hanging threads and eventual system hang
when this happens often enough.

AVFS: only put mount point when it was used as one
When a mount operation fails and the FS exits, free_proc could try and
clean up resources associated with the mount point before the mount
thread itself can do that. However, the clean up procedure should only
clean up resources that were actually in use.

PM: extend srv_fork to set a specific UID
Currently, all servers and drivers run as root as they are forks of
RS. srv_fork now tells PM with which credentials to run the resulting
fork. Subsequently, PM lets VFS now as well.
This patch also fixes the following bugs:
- RS doesn't initialize the setugid variable during exec, causing the
servers and drivers to run setuid rendering the srv_fork extension
useless.
- PM erroneously tells VFS to run processes setuid. This doesn't
actually lead to setuid processes as VFS sets {r,e}uid and {r,e}gid
properly before checking PM's approval.

SMP - clock calibration spurious IRQ deadlock fix
- this patch fixes a deadlock which may occur if we get a
spurious interrupt while calibrating clocks during the boot
time. Since we never handle interrupts while in the kernel
(BKL locked) the interrupt code locks the lock. This is a
different situation, a corner case, boot time only. We do not
return to userspace but to the kernel, so the BKL is not
unlocked. So we need irq handler which leaves the BKL
unlocked. The clock handler does it already, this patch adds
a dummy spurious irq handler for the same reason. It is better
to handle the situation this way to keep the normal runtime
code simple.

Add support for survival of crashed FSs
When an FS crashes, VFS will clean up resources tied to that FS:
- Pending requests to the FS are canceled (i.e., fail with EIO)
- Threads waiting for a reply are stopped (i.e., fail with EIO)
- Open files are marked invalid. Future operations on a file descriptor
will cause EBADF errors.
- vmnt entry is cleared, so in-flight system calls that got past the
file descriptor check but not yet talking to the crashed FS, will
fail with EIO.
- The reference counter of the mount point is decreased, effectively
removing the crashed FS from the file system tree. Descendants of
this part of the tree are unreachable by means of a path, but can
still be unmounted by feeding the block special file to unmount(2).
This patch also gets rid of the "not a known driver endpoint" messages
during shutdown.
