jhb 6f8f2fe586 Fully handle size_t lengths in AIO requests.
First, update the return types of aio_return() and aio_waitcomplete() to
ssize_t.

POSIX requires aio_return() to return a ssize_t so that it can represent
all return values from read() and write().  aio_waitcomplete() should use
ssize_t for the same reason.

aio_return() has used ssize_t in <aio.h> since r31620 but the manpage and
system call entry were not updated.  aio_waitcomplete() has always
returned int.

Note that this does not require new system call stubs as this is
effectively only an API change in how the compiler interprets the return
value.

Second, allow aio_nbytes values up to IOSIZE_MAX instead of just INT_MAX.

aio_read/write should now honor the same length limits as normal read/write.

Third, use longs instead of ints in the aio_return() and aio_waitcomplete()
system call functions so that the 64-bit size_t in the in-kernel aiocb
isn't truncated to 32-bits before being copied out to userland or
being returned.

Finally, a simple test has been added to verify the bounds checking on the
maximum read size from a file.

.Dt AIO_WAITCOMPLETE 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm aio_waitcomplete
.Nd wait for the next completion of an aio request
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In aio.h
.Ft ssize_t
.Fn aio_waitcomplete "struct aiocb **iocbp" "struct timespec *timeout"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
system call waits for completion of an asynchronous I/O request.
Upon completion,
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
returns the result of the function and sets
.Fa iocbp
to point to the structure associated with the original request.
If an asynchronous I/O request is completed before
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
is called, it returns immediately with the completed request.
.Pp
If
.Fa timeout
is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for a
asynchronous I/O request to complete.
If
.Fa timeout
is a NULL pointer,
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
waits indefinitely.
To effect a poll, the
.Fa timeout
argument should be non-NULL, pointing to a zero-valued timeval structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
system call also serves the function of
.Fn aio_return ,
thus
.Fn aio_return
should not be called for the control block returned in
.Fa iocbp .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If an asynchronous I/O request has completed,
.Fa iocbp
is set to point to the control block passed with the original request,
and the status is returned as described in
.Xr read 2 ,
.Xr write 2 ,
or
.Xr fsync 2 .
On failure,
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
returns
.Dv -1 ,
sets iocbp to
.Dv NULL
and sets
.Va errno
to indicate the error condition.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
system call fails if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The specified time limit is invalid.
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
The process has not yet called
.Fn aio_read
or
.Fn aio_write .
.It Bq Er EINTR
A signal was delivered before the timeout expired and before any
asynchronous I/O requests completed.
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
The specified time limit expired before any asynchronous I/O requests
completed.

The
