task_spawn() and posix_spawn() are NuttX OS interfaces. In PROTECTED and KERNEL build modes, then can be reached from applications only via a system call. Currently, the number of parameters in a system call is limited to six; these spawn function have seven parameters. Rather than extend the maximum number of parameters across all architectures, I opted instead to marshal the seven parameters into a structure.
*
In order to support builtin in function in protected mode, a task_spawn() system call must be supported. Unfortunately this is overly complex because there is a (soft) limit of 6 parameters in a system call; task_spawn has seven paramters. This is a soft limit but still difficult to extend because it involves assembly language changes to numerous architectures. Better to get more creative.

1. Move exepath_*() related code to libc/misc
1. Rename exepath_ to envpath_
2. Rename BINFMT_EXEPATH to LIB_ENVPATH
libs/libc/modlib: Add pre module library symbol table support
sched/clock: Move the implementation of clock() from libs/libc/time to sched/clock. This is necessary because it calls the (now) internal OS function clock_systimer. clock() is now accessed only via a system call in certain configuratins.
libs/libc/wqueue: Replace calls to clock_systimer() with calls to the equivalent clock().
fs: Add truncate() support for userfs
fs/unionfs: Add truncate() support to the unionfs
fs/tmpfs: Add ftruncate() support to tmpfs
syscall/: Add system call support for ftruncate()
net/route: Adding ftruncate() support eliminates an issue in file-based routing table management.
fs: Add basic framework to support truncate() and ftruncate(). The infrastructure is complete. Now, however, the actual implementation of ftruncate() will have to be done for each file system.
Entropy pool gathers environmental noise from device drivers, user-space, etc., and returns good random numbers, suitable for cryptographic use. Based on entropy pool design from *BSDs and uses BLAKE2Xs algorithm for CSPRNG output.
Patch also adds /dev/urandom support for using entropy pool RNG and new 'getrandom' system call for getting randomness without file-descriptor usage (thus avoiding file-descriptor exhaustion attacks). The 'getrandom' interface is similar as 'getentropy' and 'getrandom' available on OpenBSD and Linux respectively.
