In the case of vbfs the host is VirtualBox so mentions of VMware must be
copy-paste errors.

Some assembly code to cause unaligned access as well as
segmentation faults to exercise the data abort path.

On second thought, handle unknown faults caused by processes by sending
SIGSEGV to them instead of bringing the whole system to a grind.
arm/archconst: use values defined in armreg.h

Without this option, gcc may emit code accessing unaligned memory. This,
and the fact that SCTRL.A (System Control Register - Alignment Check) is
set to 1 in Minix causes data aborts when such code is encountered.
This was the cause of #104. The `minix-service' executable caused
unaligned memory accesses calling into getpwnam(). These then trigger
data abort exceptions. On ARM, these were previously forwarded to `vm'
as pagefaults. However, `vm' did not properly handle them, but instead
allocated one page for the faulting address (over and over again) and
then resumed the process at the faulting instruction (over and over
again). This behavior masked the whole story as an OOM.
Below the assembly version getpwent.c in which unaligned memory
accesses are even highlighted...
...
341 ldr lr, [sp, #48]
342 cmp lr, #0
343 bne .L46
344 ldr r0, [r4] @ unaligned
345 add r1, r7, #5
346 str r0, [sp, #4] @ unaligned
347 ldr r4, [sp, #4]
348 mov r5, r4, asr #31
349 strd r4, [r8, #40]
...
This should fix#104. It was tested on an actual Beaglebone Black.
An alternative fix would be to disable alignment checking by setting
SCTRL.A to 0 and allowing unaligned memory accesses.

For now, distinguish alignment, translation and permission faults.
The first kind of faults cause the kernel to send SIGBUS to the
process causing the fault, the latter two are forwarded to `vm' as
pagefaults. Previously, any data abort was forwarded to `vm' as
a pagefault, resulting in hard to debug issue #104.
Any unhandled fault status results in a disaster. This seems
better than naively hoping `vm' can do something about it.

This directory no longer exists, probably since the netbsd file layout
re-organization.

I tried to launch Minix3 in Qubes OS. While there is no problem to boot
minix as a qube (in Qubes OS terminology) before 3641562, it fails with
the commit (and after). I didn't digg into PCI handling but this change
fixes the problem. Minix handles NULL case from pci_subclass_name.

Instead of formatting the image, and then using the mtools to copy on it
the boot partition files, we use makefs to directly generate the
partition.

In particular, remove the hardcoded limit of 4096 entries in a single
directory, as there are (at least) real DVDs out there with more
entries than that. The implementation of this change requires a
second pass on large directories; performance optimizations are left
to future work.

at_wini was previously hardcoded to present ATAPI devices as having a
size of 800 MiB, which was enough for CDs but not for DVDs. This
patch increases the device size to 8500 MiB, which should be large
enough to cover all DVDs.

As reported by Jean-Baptiste Boric, lua would refuse to start,
throwing an error about incompatibility of numeric types.
This resolves#160.

This script uses the image generation framework to create a pkgsrc CD

Setting PACKAGE_DIR without PACKAGES will default to bundling all
packages in PACKAGE_DIR. PKG_INFO is also mandatory now.

When possible, network drivers are now started automatically. That
means that netconf(8)'s network driver selection has become obsolete.
This patch changes netconf(8) to allow the user to specify a network
configuration (currently one of DHCP IPv4+IPv6, DHCP IPv4-only,
manual IPv4-only) for any hardware network interfaces that are
currently present.
Selection of network drivers that require manual configuration first
(mainly old ISA cards) is still supported, but now as a special case.

This commit adds a new TCP/IP service to MINIX 3. As its core, the
service uses the lwIP TCP/IP stack for maintenance reasons. The
service aims to be compatible with NetBSD userland, including its
low-level network management utilities. It also aims to support
modern features such as IPv6. In summary, the new LWIP service has
support for the following main features:
- TCP, UDP, RAW sockets with mostly standard BSD API semantics;
- IPv6 support: host mode (complete) and router mode (partial);
- most of the standard BSD API socket options (SO_);
- all of the standard BSD API message flags (MSG_);
- the most used protocol-specific socket and control options;
- a default loopback interface and the ability to create one more;
- configuration-free ethernet interfaces and driver tracking;
- queuing and multiple concurrent requests to each ethernet driver;
- standard ioctl(2)-based BSD interface management;
- radix tree backed, destination-based routing;
- routing sockets for standard BSD route reporting and management;
- multicast traffic and multicast group membership tracking;
- Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) devices;
- standard and custom sysctl(7) nodes for many internals;
- a slab allocation based, hybrid static/dynamic memory pool model.
Many of its modules come with fairly elaborate comments that cover
many aspects of what is going on. The service is primarily a socket
driver built on top of the libsockdriver library, but for BPF devices
it is at the same time also a character driver.

Normally, each RMIB subtree consists of an array of nodes, indexed
by node identifier. In a sparsely filled subtree, most of the array
is empty and just wasting memory. In that case, it may be beneficial
to have a level of indirection, with an intermediate array containing
pairs of node IDs and pointers to the actual nodes. This patch adds
support for such indirection.
For the use cases that inspired this patch, net.inet and net.inet6,
the indirection shaves off a little under 16KB of memory from the
TCP/IP service.
