__mac_get_pid Retrieve MAC label of a process by pid
Similar to __mac_get_proc() except that the target process of
the operation is explicitly specified rather than assuming
curthread.
__mac_get_link Retrieve MAC label of a path with NOFOLLOW
__mac_set_link Set MAC label of a path with NOFOLLOW
extattr_set_link Set EAs on a path with NOFOLLOW
extattr_get_link Retrieve EAs on a path with NOFOLLOW
extattr_delete_link Delete EAs on a path with NOFOLLOW
These calls are similar to __mac_get_file(), __mac_set_file(),
extattr_set_file(), extattr_get_file(), and extattr_delete_file(),
except that they do not follow symlinks. The distinction between
these calls is similar to lchown() vs chown().

All will be stubbed in this kernel in the next commit.

o Modify the system call syntax for extattr_{get,set}_{fd,file}() so
as not to use the scatter gather API (which appeared not to be used
by any consumers, and be less portable), rather, accepts 'data'
and 'nbytes' in the style of other simple read/write interfaces.
This changes the API and ABI.
o Modify system call semantics so that extattr_get_{fd,file}() return
a size_t. When performing a read, the number of bytes read will
be returned, unless the data pointer is NULL, in which case the
number of bytes of data are returned. This changes the API only.
o Modify the VOP_GETEXTATTR() vnode operation to accept a *size_t
argument so as to return the size, if desirable. If set to NULL,
the size will not be returned.
o Update various filesystems (pseodofs, ufs) to DTRT.
These changes should make extended attributes more useful and more
portable. More commits to rebuild the system call files, as well
as update userland utilities to follow.

signal trampoline for old signals. The arches that support old signals
currently abuse sigreturn(2) instead. This mainly complicates things
and slightly breaks the the new sigreturn(2).
COMPAT is too limited to support the correct configuration of osigreturn,
and this commit doesn't attempt to fix it; it just moves the bogusness:
osigreturn() must now be provided unconditionally even on arches that
don't really need it; previously it had to be provided under the bogus

credentials rather than the real credentials. This is useful for
implementing GUI's which need to modify icons based on access rights,
but where use of open(2) is too expensive, use of stat(2) doesn't
reflect the file system's real protection model, and use of
access() suffers from real/effective credential confusion. This
implementation provides the same semantics as the call of the same
name on SCO OpenServer. Note: using this call improperly can
leave you subject to some of the same races present in the
access(2) call.
o To implement this, break out the basic logic of access(2) into
vpaccess(), which accepts a passed credential to perform the
invocation of VOP_ACCESS(). Add eaccess(2) to invoke vpaccess(),
and modify access(2) to use vpaccess().

Synchronize syscalls.master with all MPSAFE changes to date. Synchronize

of sync with syscalls.master.
Instead introduce the [M] prefix to existing keywords. e.g.

massive Giant lock pushdown. The old MPSAFE keyword made
syscalls.master too messy.

toggle the P_SUGID bit explicitly, rather than relying on it being
set implicitly by other protection and credential logic. This feature
is introduced to support inter-process authorization regression testing
by simplifying userland credential management allowing the easy
isolation and reproduction of authorization events with specific
security contexts. This feature is enabled only by "options REGRESSION"
and is not intended to be used by applications. While the feature is
not known to introduce security vulnerabilities, it does allow
processes to enter previously inaccessible parts of the credential
state machine, and is therefore disabled by default. It may not
constitute a risk, and therefore in the future pending further analysis
(and appropriate need) may become a published interface.

operations on file descriptors, which complement the existing set of
calls, extattr_{delete,get,set}_file() which act on paths. In doing
so, restructure the system call implementation such that the two sets
of functions share most of the relevant code, rather than duplicating
it. This pushes the vnode locking into the shared code, but keeps
the copying in of some arguments in the system call code. Allowing
access via file descriptors reduces the opportunity for race
conditions when managing extended attributes.
Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project
introduce a new argument, "namespace", rather than relying on a first-
character namespace indicator. This is in line with more recent
thinking on EA interfaces on various mailing lists, including the
posix1e, Linux acl-devel, and trustedbsd-discuss forums. Two namespaces
are defined by default, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM and
EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, where the primary distinction lies in the
access control model: user EAs are accessible based on the normal
MAC and DAC file/directory protections, and system attributes are
limited to kernel-originated or appropriately privileged userland
requests.
o These API changes occur at several levels: the namespace argument is
introduced in the extattr_{get,set}_file() system call interfaces,
at the vnode operation level in the vop_{get,set}extattr() interfaces,
and in the UFS extended attribute implementation. Changes are also
introduced in the VFS extattrctl() interface (system call, VFS,
and UFS implementation), where the arguments are modified to include
a namespace field, as well as modified to advoid direct access to
userspace variables from below the VFS layer (in the style of recent
changes to mount by adrian@FreeBSD.org). This required some cleanup
and bug fixing regarding VFS locks and the VFS interface, as a vnode
pointer may now be optionally submitted to the VFS_EXTATTRCTL()
call. Updated documentation for the VFS interface will be committed
shortly.
o In the near future, the auto-starting feature will be updated to
search two sub-directories to the ".attribute" directory in appropriate
file systems: "user" and "system" to locate attributes intended for
those namespaces, as the single filename is no longer sufficient
to indicate what namespace the attribute is intended for. Until this
is committed, all attributes auto-started by UFS will be placed in
the EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM namespace.
o The default POSIX.1e attribute names for ACLs and Capabilities have
been updated to no longer include the '$' in their filename. As such,
if you're using these features, you'll need to rename the attribute
backing files to the same names without '$' symbols in front.
o Note that these changes will require changes in userland, which will
be committed shortly. These include modifications to the extended
attribute utilities, as well as to libutil for new namespace
string conversion routines. Once the matching userland changes are
committed, a buildworld is recommended to update all the necessary
include files and verify that the kernel and userland environments
are in sync. Note: If you do not use extended attributes (most people
won't), upgrading is not imperative although since the system call
API has changed, the new userland extended attribute code will no longer
compile with old include files.
o Couple of minor cleanups while I'm there: make more code compilation
conditional on FFS_EXTATTR, which should recover a bit of space on
kernels running without EA's, as well as update copyright dates.
