6356dba0b4 Introduce two related changes to the TrustedBSD MAC Framework:
(1) Abstract interpreter vnode labeling in execve(2) and mac_execve(2)
    so that the general exec code isn't aware of the details of
    allocating, copying, and freeing labels, rather, simply passes in
    a void pointer to start and stop functions that will be used by
    the framework.  This change will be MFC'd.

(2) Introduce a new flags field to the MAC_POLICY_SET(9) interface
    allowing policies to declare which types of objects require label
    allocation, initialization, and destruction, and define a set of
    flags covering various supported object types (MPC_OBJECT_PROC,
    MPC_OBJECT_VNODE, MPC_OBJECT_INPCB, ...).  This change reduces the
    overhead of compiling the MAC Framework into the kernel if policies
    aren't loaded, or if policies require labels on only a small number
    or even no object types.  Each time a policy is loaded or unloaded,
    we recalculate a mask of labeled object types across all policies
    present in the system.  Eliminate MAC_ALWAYS_LABEL_MBUF option as it
    is no longer required.

8e38aeff17 Add a new file descriptor type for IPC shared memory objects and use it to
implement shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) in the kernel:
- Each shared memory file descriptor is associated with a swap-backed vm
  object which provides the backing store.  Each descriptor starts off with
  a size of zero, but the size can be altered via ftruncate(2).  The shared
  memory file descriptors also support fstat(2).  read(2), write(2),
  ioctl(2), select(2), poll(2), and kevent(2) are not supported on shared
  memory file descriptors.
- shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) are now implemented as system calls that
  manage shared memory file descriptors.  The virtual namespace that maps
  pathnames to shared memory file descriptors is implemented as a hash
  table where the hash key is generated via the 32-bit Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
  of the pathname.
- As an extension, the constant 'SHM_ANON' may be specified in place of the
  path argument to shm_open(2).  In this case, an unnamed shared memory
  file descriptor will be created similar to the IPC_PRIVATE key for
  shmget(2).  Note that the shared memory object can still be shared among
  processes by sharing the file descriptor via fork(2) or sendmsg(2), but
  it is unnamed.  This effectively serves to implement the getmemfd() idea
  bandied about the lists several times over the years.
- The backing store for shared memory file descriptors are garbage
  collected when they are not referenced by any open file descriptors or
  the shm_open(2) virtual namespace.
