IMPORTANT: this change has a docs/UPDATING entry!
This rename is unfortunately necessary because NetBSD has decided to
create its own service(8) utility, and we will want to import theirs
as well. The two can obviously not coexist.
Also move ours from /bin to /sbin, as it is a superuser-only utility.

IMPORTANT: this change has a docs/UPDATING entry!
This change is a long overdue switch-over from the old MINIX set of
user and group accounts to the NetBSD set. This switch-over is
increasingly important now that we are importing more and more
utilities from NetBSD, several of which expect various user accounts
to exist. By switching over in one go, we save ourselves various
headaches in the long run, even if the switch-over itself is a bit
painful for existing MINIX users.
The newly imported master.passwd and group files have three exceptions
compared to their NetBSD originals:
1. There is a custom "service" account for MINIX 3 services. This
account is used to limit run-time privileges of various system
services, and is not used for any files on disk. Its user ID may
be changed later, but should always correspond to whatever the
SERVICE_UID definition is set to.
2. The user "bin" has its shell set to /bin/sh, instead of NetBSD's
/sbin/nologin. The reason for this is that the test set in
/usr/tests/minix-posix will not be able to run otherwise.
3. The group "operator" has been set to group ID 0, to match its old
value. This tweak is purely for transitioning purposes: as of
writing, pkgsrc packages are still using root:operator as owner and
group for most installed files. Sometime later, we can change back
"operator" to group ID 5 without breaking anything, because it does
not appear that this group name is used for anything important.

In order to allow for proper matching of available drivers to system
hardware, the output of this utility should reflect the full details
of the input from configuration files. In particular, that includes
sub-IDs of PCI devices when those have been specified.

With this patch, it is now possible to generate coverage information
for MINIX3 system services with LLVM. In particular, the system can
be built with MKCOVERAGE=yes, either with a native "make build" or
with crosscompilation. Either way, MKCOVERAGE=yes will build the
MINIX3 system services with coverage profiling support, generating a
.gcno file for each source module. After a reboot it is possible to
obtain runtime coverage data (.gcda files) for individual system
services using gcov-pull(8). The combination of the .gcno and .gcda
files can then be inspected with llvm-cov(1).
For reasons documented in minix.gcov.mk, only system service program
modules are supported for now; system service libraries (libsys etc.)
are not included. Userland programs are not affected by MKCOVERAGE.
The heart of this patch is the libsys code that writes data generated
by the LLVM coverage hooks into a serialized format using the routines
we already had for GCC GCOV. Unfortunately, the new llvm_gcov.c code
is LLVM ABI dependent, and may therefore have to be updated later when
we upgrade LLVM. The current implementation should support all LLVM
versions 3.x with x >= 4.
The rest of this patch is mostly a light cleanup of our existing GCOV
infrastructure, with as most visible change that gcov-pull(8) now
takes a service label string rather than a PID number.

The warnings in test47 seem to be a symptom of a larger problem,
i.e., not an issue with the test set code but rather with the GCC
configuration. Hopefully the switch to LLVM will resolve those.

- fix the reinstallation (preserve-/home) option;
- remove support for just reinstalling the bootloader, as the main
purpose of this option (allowing an upgrade from the old MINIX
boot monitor to the NetBSD bootloader) is no longer needed and was
already broken;
- do not try to copy over /etc/motd.install: it no longer exists.
This resolves issue 106.

A few MINIX3-specific changes are necessary due to the fact that we
are missing the System V IPC message queue system calls.
Change-Id: Idd252984be9df69618cef79bcf6c676cbf915d85
Now that there are services other than PM and VFS that implement
userland system calls directly, these services may need to know about
events related to user processes. In particular, signal delivery may
have to interrupt blocking system calls, and certain cleanup tasks may
have to be performed after a user process exits.
This patch aims to implement a generic, lasting solution for this
problem, by allowing services to subscribe to "signal delivered"
and/or "process exit" events from PM. PM publishes such events by
sending messages to its subscribed services, which must then reply an
acknowledgment message.
For now, only the two aforementioned events are implemented, and only
the IPC service makes use of the process event facility.
The new process event publish/subscribe system replaces the previous
VM notify-sig/watch-exit/query-exit system, which was unsound: 1) it
allowed subscription to events from individual processes, and suffered
from fundamental race conditions as a result; 2) it relied on "not too
many" processes making use of the IPC server functionality in order to
avoid loss of notifications. In addition, it had the "ipc" process
name hardcoded, did not distinguish between signal delivery and exits,
and added a roundtrip to VM for all events from all processes.

No changes except for one cosmetic adjustment: NetBSD has chosen to
rename the standard TT column to TTY and not shorten tty names; we
undo those changes, making ps(1) behave more in accordance with the
specification and its manual page, and, most importantly for us, not
use an incredibly wide TTY column to print "console".

Now that uname(3) uses sysctl(2), we no longer need sysuname(2).
Backward compatibility is retained for old statically linked
binaries for a short while.
Also remove the now-obsolete MINIX3-specific "arch" field from the
utsname structure. While this is an ABI break at the libc level,
it should pose no problems in practice, because:
- statically linked programs (i.e., all of the base system) are not
affected, as they will use headers synchronized with libc;
- the structure is getting smaller, thus, older dynamically linked
programs (typically in pkgsrc) using the new libc will end up with
garbage in the "arch" field, but it is unlikely they will use this
field anyway, since it was specific to MINIX3;
- new dynamically linked programs using an old libc could end up with
memory corruption, but this is not a scenario that is expected to
occur in the first place - certainly not with programs from pkgsrc.

ASR instrumentation is now performed on all applicable system services
if the system is built with MKASR=yes. This setting automatically
enables MKMAGIC=yes, which in turn enables MKBITCODE=yes.
The number of extra rerandomized service binaries to be generated can
be set by passing ASRCOUNT=n to the build system, where n is a number
between 1 and 65536. The default ASRCOUNT is 3, meaning that each
service will have one randomized base binary and three additional
rerandomized binaries. As before, update_asr(8) can be used for
runtime rerandomization.

Until now, the program name of a service was always the file name
(without directory) of the service binary. The program name is used
to, among other things, find the corresponding system.conf entry.
With ASR moving to a situation where all rerandomized service binaries
are stored in a single directory, this can no longer be maintained.
Instead, the service(8) command can now be instructed to override the
service program name, using its new -progname option.

The CD now boots directly from the ISO 9660 filesystem instead of using
MBR partitioning with Minix file systems. This saves some space on the
CD and reduces memory requirements by some unknown amount as the root
ramdisk is completely eliminated.
The x86 hard drive image creation is also rewritten in the same
fashion.
The setup is modified to be more NetBSD-like (unpacking sets
tarballs instead of blindly copying the CD contents). Splitting MINIX
into sets is done in another commit due to it being a nightmare to
rebase.
Since MINIX lacks union mounts for now, a bunch of ramdisks are
generated at run-time to make parts of the filesystem writeable for the
CD. This solution isn't ideal, but it's enough for an installation CD.

- the userland call is now made to PM only, and PM relays the call to
other servers as appropriate; this is an ABI change that will
ultimately allow us to add proper support for wait3() and the like;
for the moment there is backward compatibility;
- the getrusage-specific kernel subcall has been removed, as it
provided only redundant functionality, and did not provide the means
to be extended correctly in the future - namely, allowing the kernel
to return different values depending on whether resource usage of
the caller (self) or its children was requested;
- VM is now told whether resource usage of the caller (self) or its
children is requested, and it refrains from filling in wrong values
for information it does not have;
- VM now uses the correct unit for the ru_maxrss values;
- VFS is cut out of the loop entirely, since it does not provide any
values at the moment; a comment explains how it should be readded.

This commits adds a basic infrastructure to support Address Space
Randomization (ASR). In a nutshell, using the already imported ASR
LLVM pass, multiple versions can be generated for the same system
service, each with a randomized, different address space layout.
Combined with the magic instrumentation for state transfer, a system
service can be live updated into another ASR-randomized version at
runtime, thus providing live rerandomization.
Since MINIX3 is not yet capable of running LLVM linker passes, the
ASR-randomized service binaries have to be pregenerated during
crosscompilation. These pregenerated binaries can then be cycled
through at runtime. This patch provides the basic proof-of-concept
infrastructure for both these parts.
In order to support pregeneration, the clientctl host script has
been extended with a "buildasr" command. It is to be used after
building the entire system with bitcode and magic support, and will
produce a given number of ASR-randomized versions of all system
services. These services are placed in /usr/service/asr in the
image that is generated as final step by the "buildasr" command.
In order to support runtime updating, a new update_asr(8) command
has been added to MINIX3. This command attempts to live-update the
running system services into their next ASR-randomized versions.
For now, this command is not run automatically, and thus must be
invoked manually.
Technical notes:
- For various reasons, magic instrumentation is x86-only for now,
and ASR functionality is therefore to be used on x86 only as well.
- The ASR-randomized binaries are placed in numbered subdirectories
so as not to have to change their actual program names, which are
assumed to be static in various places (system.conf, procfs).
- The root partition is typically too small to contain all the
produced binaries, which is why we introduce /usr/service. There
is a symlink from /service/asr to /usr/service/asr for no other
reason than to let userland continue to assume that all services
are reachable through /service.
- The ASR count field (r_asr_count/ASRcount) maintained by RS is not
used within RS in any way; it is only passed through procfs to
userland in order to allow update_asr(8) to keep track of which
version is currently loaded without having to maintain own state.
- Ideally, pre-instrumentation linking of a service would remove all
its randomized versions. Currently, the user is assumed not to
perform ASR instrumentation and then recompile system services
without performing ASR instrumentation again, as the randomized
binaries included in the image would then be stale. This aspect
has to be improved later.
- Various other issues are flagged in the comments of the various
parts of this patch.

Due to changed VM internals, more elaborate preparation is required
before a live update with multiple components including VM can take
place. This patch adds the essential preparation infrastructure to
VM and adapts RS to make use of it. As a side effect, it is no
longer necessary to supply RS as the last component (if at all)
during the set-up of a multicomponent live update operation.
