Factored out mapping of the physical page as the final generic code
after all fault-specific handling is done.
Fixed the error that zero page didn't have an owner (devzero).
Fixed the error that struct dirent did not have the record length
field as u16 as expected by userspace.
Separated vfs file as a specific file. vm file is not always a vfs file.
Updated the README
sys_open was not returning back to client, added that.
Added comments for future vfs additions.
Removed some commented out code.
Removed excessive printfs.
Fixed spid not initialising for mm0
Fixed some faults with fs0.
TODO:
- Need to store vfs files in a separate list.
- Need to define vnum as a vfs-file-specific data, i.e. in priv_data field of vm_file.
- Need to then fix vfs_receive_sys_open.
For anonymous shm, mmap now adds a shm_file and devzero behind it
as two vm_objects. Faults are handled by copy_on_write(). Just as
shadows copy r/w pages from original files, it should copy r/w
pages from devzero into the shm_file in front.
shmat/shmget uses mmap to set-up their areas.
Untested yet so bugs expected.

Tasks boot fine up to doing ipc using their utcbs.
UTCB PLAN:
- Push ipc registers into private environment instead of a shared utcb,
but map-in a shared utcb to pass on long data to server tasks.
- Shared utcb has unique virtual address for every thread.
- Forked child does inherit parent's utcb, but cannot use it to communicate to
any server. It must explicitly obtain its own utcb for that.
- Clone could have a flag to explicitly not inherit parent utcb, which is the
right thing to do.
- MM0 serves a syscall to obtain self utcb.
- By this method, upon forks tasks don't need to map-in a utcb unless they want
to pass long data.
Next issues: For every read fault, the fault must traverse the
vma's object stack until the page is found. The problem was that
we were only searching the first object, that object was a writable
shadow, and the shadow didn't have the read-only page, and the 0
return value was interpreted with IS_ERR() and failed, so address
0 was mapped into the location, and QEMU blew off.
Added reading pages from the page cache into user buffer for sys_read.
Increases stack sizes to 4 pages.
Updated README to include more details about multi-pager environments.
This implements the infrastructure for read/write system calls where
file content is first searched in mm0's page cache and then read-in
or written via the vfs read/write functions.

Changed l4id_t type to integer to recognise negative id values like L4_ANYTHREAD.
Added an extremely simple script that cleans and builds everything in right order.
Increased boot pmds by one:
This is due to the fact that if the 1MB initial allocation area of the kernel is
not 1MB-aligned, it is ought to be mapped from the middle of one MB to next,
which requires 2 pmds.
