to prevent deadlock on media unbind (which is called with
the interface wlock()'ed), the medias reader processes
that unbind was waiting for used to discard packets when
the interface could not be rlocked.
this has the unfortunate side effect that when we change
addresses on a interface that packets are getting lost.
this is problematic for the processing of ipv6 router
advertisements when multiple RA's are getting received
in quick succession.
this change removes that packet dropping behaviour and
instead changes the unbind process to avoid the deadlock
by wunlock()ing the interface temporarily while waiting
for the reader processes to finish. the interface media
is also changed to the mullmedium before unlocking (see
the comment).
avm fritzbox uses very long RA period so it effectively only
responds after a router solicitation. when there are multiple
fritzbox routers on the lan, then while configuring one prefix
of the first RA, the ip stack can drop the second router
advertisement and we would never get the second route.
packets can always get lost. so we just keep on sending router
solicitations (up to 3 times) to make sure we got all the RA's.
This patch makes 3 changes:
- It makes upas/fs send plumb messages when a message
changes in the background (eg, someone on another imap
connection opens a message and sets the read flag)
- It makes faces not complain when it gets one of these
new modify messages.
- It makes acme/Mail update the flags in the display
when it gets one of these messages.
on systems with serial console and graphics such as the raspberry pi,
it is nice to get a system shell on the serial console even when no
monitor is connected.
the console command runs a command or the system shell under
a new instance of kbdfs, optionally providing a serial console
when $console environment variable is set.
comparing m with MACHP() is wrong as m is a constant on 386.
add procflushothers(), which flushes all processes except up
using common procflushmmu() routine.
procflushmmu() returns once all *OTHER* processors that had
matching processes running on them flushed ther tlb/mmu state.
the caller of procflush...() takes care of flushing "up" by
calling flushmmu() later.
if the current process matched, then that means m->flushmmu
would be set, and hzclock() would call flushmmu() again.
to avoid this, we now check up->newtlb in addition to m->flushmmu
in hzclock() before calling flushmmu().
we also maintain information on which process on what processor
to wait for locally, which helps making progress when multiple
procflushmmu()'s are running concurrently.
in addition, this makes the wait condition for procflushmmu()
more sophisticated, by validating if the processor still runs
the selected process and only if it matchatches, considers
the MACHP(nm)->flushmmu flag.
The code had a nested use of the follow() function that could cause +=+
and -=- to register as ++ and --. The first follow() to execute could
consume a character and match and then the second follow() could consume
another character and match. For example i-=-10 would result in a syntax
error and i-=- would decrement i.

the change to support no-execute bits broke the original
raspberry pi1, as it uses backwards compatible page table
format.
to use the XN bit, subpage AP bits have to be disabled
using the XP bit in CP15 Control Register c1 Bit 23.
When plumbing an address like `3-`, Acme selects line 1,
and similarly `3+` selects line 5.
The same problem can be observed for character addresses (`#123+`)
but _not_ for ones like `+`, `.+` or `/foo/+`:
The problem only occurs when a number is followed by a direction (`-`/`+`).
Following along with the example `3-` through `address` (in addr.c):
We read `3` into `c` and match the `case` on line 239.
The `while` loop on line 242ff reads additional digits into `c`
and puts the first non-digit back by decrementing the index `q`.
Then we find the range for line 3 on line 251 and continue.
On the next iteration, we set `prevc` to the last `c`,
but since that part read ahead _into `c`_,
`c` is currently the _next_ character we will read, `-`,
and now `prevc` is too.
Then in the case block (line 210) the condition on line 211 holds
and Acme believes that it has read two `-` in sequence
and modifies the range to account for the “first” `-`.
The “second” `-` gets applied after the loop is done, on line 292.
So the general problem is:
While reading numbers, Acme reads the next character after the number into `c`.
It decrements the counter to ensure it will read it again on the next iteration,
but it still uses it to update `prevc`.
This change solves the problem by reading digits into `nc` instead.
This variable is used to similar effect in the block for directions (line 212)
and fills the role of “local `c` that we can safely use to read ahead” nicely.

acme to have almost zero height.

when a process does an exec syscall, procsetup() is called and
we have to disable the debug watchpoint registers. just clearing
p->dr is not enougth as we are not going thru a procsave() and
procrestore() cycle which would disable and reload the saved
debug registers.
instead of clearing debug registers in procfork(), we should
clear the saved debug registers before a process goes to die
(pexit() calls sched() with up->state = Moribund) as the Proc
structure can get reused for kernel processes (kproc) which
never call procfork() and would therefore have debug registers
loaded.
