Nexoniarz 7e88cea151 root: find the filesystem instead of being told at build time, and fix dmesg
`#define ROOTDEV 1` -- IDE disk 1 -- so a kernel could only ever root on the
disk it was *built* expecting. Booting the same image from a USB stick was
impossible by construction, and that was the one thing standing between this
kernel and its own acceptance test, which begins "boot on real hardware from a
USB stick".

rootdev_mount() probes. schfs_kmount() was already written for exactly this --
its own comment says "the uberblock scan doubles as the probe: no valid
uberblock means this is simply not a SchFS volume, which is not an error worth
reporting loudly" -- and a failed probe leaves the slot unmounted and reusable,
which is what makes a loop over candidates legal at all. So the change is one
function and one call site; the only real use of ROOTDEV was `schfs_kmount()`.

Order is preference, not confidence: a RAMDISK_ROOT build wins outright, then
USB, then IDE 1, then IDE 0. USB before the fixed disks because a stick that is
plugged in was plugged in on purpose. iderw() panics on an absent drive rather
than failing, so each candidate is checked with ide_disk_present() /
usb_storage_present() first -- which is what those predicates are for.

Verified with **no IDE disk attached at all**: boots, mounts the stick, writes
a file, and the file is still there on the next boot.

    [    0.000021] root: USB disk (device 3)

And when nothing matches, it names what it looked at, because "no root
filesystem" with no list is the least useful thing a kernel can say at the one
moment somebody needs to know which disk it expected:

    root: no SchFS volume on any candidate device. Looked at:
      device 3, USB disk: not present
      device 1, IDE disk 1: not present
      device 0, IDE disk 0: present, but no SchFS on it

**That message is also how dmesg turned out to be broken**, because it did not
appear in `dmesg` and should have. `dmesg` printed *nothing at all*, on a
system whose boot banner says "or dmesg once you are in" and whose entire
quiet-boot design is "route the detail into the kernel log and say how to read
it". The log was there the whole time -- `cat /proc/kmsg` has always worked --
but the one command anybody would reach for could not see it.

Two separate faults, each alone enough:

  - **sys_syslog() was `return 0`.** dmesg does not read /proc/kmsg; it calls
    klogctl(10) for the buffer size and klogctl(3) to read. 0 to the first one
    means "the log is zero bytes", and a stub that answers 0 is
    indistinguishable from a machine that logged nothing. Implemented for the
    actions that mean something here; the rest return -EINVAL rather than 0,
    because a console log level this kernel does not have is not a request that
    succeeded.

  - **With that fixed, dmesg was still empty.** It parses every line with
    `sscanf(msg, "<%u>[%llu.%llu] %n", ...)` and silently drops anything that
    does not match. The ring's `[     0.00] text` already matches everything
    after the priority -- scanf skips the leading spaces -- so the only missing
    thing was the `<6>`. klog_render_syslog() adds it on the way out rather
    than storing it: the ring is also what a person reads with `cat
    /proc/kmsg` and what PSOGM points at after a crash, and an ABI detail
    belongs at the boundary that has the ABI.

Also: the first version of the no-root diagnostic printed

    %-11s device 1596400

because cprintf() has no field-width specifier -- it prints "%-11s" literally
and then reads the next argument for the %d. Plain %s now, with the note.

// Kernel stacks, one per ptable slot, statically.

// **They used to be a single kalloc() page**, and a measurement said that was
// not enough: painting the stack at allocation and scanning it on every trap
// put the high-water mark at 3736 of 4096 bytes -- 91%, in netd, inside lwIP's
// input path. 360 bytes of headroom on a kernel that takes interrupts on the
// current stack is not headroom. A timer landing at that depth pushes a
// trapframe and runs trap() straight off the bottom of the page and into
// whatever kalloc handed out next, which is very often another process's
// kernel stack.
//
// That is a precise match for the symptom that had been written off as a
// mystery: roughly one shell in four boots died with `trap 14 ... rip 0x0`, a
// user-mode instruction fetch at address zero, having "jumped" somewhere it
// never branched to. A process does not corrupt itself into that state; it
// gets corrupted.
//
// The canary at kstack[0] did not catch it, and could not have. It is checked
// on trap entry and exit, and a frame allocated in one `sub $N, %rsp` can step
// clean over the bottom eight bytes and write below them without ever touching
// the canary. It catches slow leaks past the bottom, not one deep call.
//
// Static and per-slot rather than a bigger kalloc, because kalloc() hands out
// exactly one page and there is no contiguous multi-page allocator to ask. A
// process's ptable slot is fixed for its lifetime, so the stack that belongs
// to that slot is the natural answer: no allocation to fail, no free to
// forget, and the one kalloc failure path in allocproc() disappears with it.
//
// The cost is NPROC * KSTACKSIZE = 1 MB of BSS, paid at link time. That is
// what a kernel stack per process costs; it was being paid out of kalloc
// before, one page at a time, and undercounted.

//
// So instead: tear nothing down, keep pid 1, and re-exec in place.

// The reason this is so short is the reason it is the right design. exec()
// already replaces the address space, and everything else is *deliberately*
// left alone:
//
// - the pid stays 1, so every orphan the kernel reparented to initproc is
// still correctly parented and initproc is still the pointer it was
// - the children survive, because nothing killed them
// - the open files survive, so the new image still has a console to
// complain to -- this runs before exit() closes anything, which is why
// the call site is the first line of exit() and not the last
// - the state survives, in /proc/schinit, which is the whole reason the
// job table lives outside the process holding it
//
// A sibling init resurrecting a dead one would have to solve all four of those
// and could not solve the first at all. This solves them by not creating them.
//
// The escalation ladder is what makes it safe to have. A machine that cannot
