The CloudABI specification has had some minor changes over the last half
year. No substantial features have been added, but some features that
are deemed unnecessary in retrospect have been removed:
- mlock()/munlock():
These calls tend to be used for two different purposes: real-time
support and handling of sensitive (cryptographic) material that
shouldn't end up in swap. The former use case is out of scope for
CloudABI. The latter may also be handled by encrypting swap.
Removing this has the advantage that we no longer need to worry about
having resource limits put in place.
- SOCK_SEQPACKET:
Support for SOCK_SEQPACKET is rather inconsistent across various
operating systems. Some operating systems supported by CloudABI (e.g.,
macOS) don't support it at all. Considering that they are rarely used,
remove support for the time being.
- getsockname(), getpeername(), etc.:
A shortcoming of the sockets API is that it doesn't allow you to
create socket(pair)s, having fake socket addresses associated with
them. This makes it harder to test applications or transparently
forward (proxy) connections to them.
With CloudABI, we're slowly moving networking connectivity into a
separate daemon called Flower. In addition to passing around socket
file descriptors, this daemon provides address information in the form
of arbitrary string labels. There is thus no longer any need for
requesting socket address information from the kernel itself.
This change also updates consumers of the generated code accordingly.
Even though system calls end up getting renumbered, this won't cause any
problems in practice. CloudABI programs always call into the kernel
through a kernel-supplied vDSO that has the numbers updated as well.

It looks like the __acquire and __release macros are for the consumption
of static analysis tools and have no semantic effect. Transform the
definitions from constant expressions to empty statements in order to
avoid -Wunused-value from gcc.
Likewise avoid future warnings for __chk_{user,io}_ptr, but with a cast
to void, because it looks like some linux kernel code may use those in
expression contexts.

Using the https://github.com/google/capsicum-test/ suite, the
PosixMqueue.CapModeForked test was failing due to an ECAPMODE after
calling kmq_notify(). On further inspection, the dynamically
loaded syscall entry was initialized with sy_flags zeroed out, since
SYSCALL_INIT_HELPER() left sysent.sy_flags with the default value.
Add a new helper SYSCALL{,32}_INIT_HELPER_F() which takes an
additional argument to specify the sy_flags value.

Instead of mapping a dummy page upon a page fault, map the page
pointed to by the physical address given by IDX_TO_OFF(vmap->vm_pfn).
To simplify the implementation use OBJT_DEVICE to implement our own
linux_cdev_pager_fault() instead of using the existing
linux_cdev_pager_populate().
Some minor code factoring while at it.

Set "td_pinned" to zero after "sched_unbind()" to prevent "td_pinned"
from temporarily becoming negative during "sched_bind()". This can
happen if "sched_bind()" uses "sched_pin()" and "sched_unpin()".

All 32bit MIPS ABIs align uint64_t on 8-byte. Since struct kevent32
is defined using 32bit types to avoid extra alignment on amd64/i386,
layout of the structure needs paddings on PowerPC and apparently MIPS.

Process core notes for a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit host need to

Only amd64 (because of i386) needs 32-bit time_t compat now, everything else is

AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).
PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386). This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.

This change implements NOTE_ABSTIME flag for EVFILT_TIMER, which
specifies that the data field contains absolute time to fire the
event.
To make this useful, data member of the struct kevent must be extended
to 64bit. Using the opportunity, I also added ext members. This
changes struct kevent almost to Apple struct kevent64, except I did
not changed type of ident and udata, the later would cause serious API
incompatibilities.
The type of ident was kept uintptr_t since EVFILT_AIO returns a
pointer in this field, and e.g. CHERI is sensitive to the type
(discussed with brooks, jhb).
Unlike Apple kevent64, symbol versioning allows us to claim ABI
compatibility and still name the new syscall kevent(2). Compat shims
are provided for both host native and compat32.

struct thread.
For all architectures, the syscall trap handlers have to allocate the
structure on the stack. The structure takes 88 bytes on 64bit arches
which is not negligible. Also, it cannot be easily found by other
code, which e.g. caused duplication of some members of the structure
to struct thread already. The change removes td_dbg_sc_code and
td_dbg_sc_nargs which were directly copied from syscall_args.
The structure is put into the copied on fork part of the struct thread
to make the syscall arguments information correct in the child after
fork.
This move will also allow several more uses shortly.
