Import the CloudABI datatypes and create a system call table. CloudABI is a pure capability-based runtime environment for UNIX. It works similar to Capsicum, except that processes already run in capabilities mode on startup. All functionality that conflicts with this model has been omitted, making it a compact binary interface that can be supported by other operating systems without too much effort. CloudABI is 'secure by default'; the idea is that it should be safe to run arbitrary third-party binaries without requiring any explicit hardware virtualization (Bhyve) or namespace virtualization (Jails). The rights of an application are purely determined by the set of file descriptors that you grant it on startup. The datatypes and constants used by CloudABI's C library (cloudlibc) are defined in separate files called syscalldefs_mi.h (pointer size independent) and syscalldefs_md.h (pointer size dependent). We import these files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and wrap around them in cloudabi*_syscalldefs.h. We then add stubs for all of the system calls in sys/compat/cloudabi or sys/compat/cloudabi64, depending on whether the system call depends on the pointer size. We only have nine system calls that depend on the pointer size. If we ever want to support 32-bit binaries, we can simply add sys/compat/cloudabi32 and implement these nine system calls again. The next step is to send in code reviews for the individual system call implementations, but also add a sysentvec, to allow CloudABI executabled to be started through execve().

Replace the CloudABI system call table by a machine generated version. The type definitions and constants that were used by COMPAT_CLOUDABI64 are a literal copy of some headers stored inside of CloudABI's C library, cloudlibc. What is annoying is that we can't make use of cloudlibc's system call list, as the format is completely different and doesn't provide enough information. It had to be synced in manually. We recently decided to solve this (and some other problems) by moving the ABI definitions into a separate file: https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudabi/blob/master/cloudabi.txt This file is processed by a pile of Python scripts to generate the header files like before, documentation (markdown), but in our case more importantly: a FreeBSD system call table. This change discards the old files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and replaces them by the latest copies, which requires some minor changes here and there. Because cloudabi.txt also enforces consistent names of the system call arguments, we have to patch up a small number of system call implementations to use the new argument names. The new header files can also be included directly in FreeBSD kernel space without needing any includes/defines, so we can now remove cloudabi_syscalldefs.h and cloudabi64_syscalldefs.h. Patch up the sources to include the definitions directly from sys/contrib/cloudabi instead.
