kernel version introduced the sysctl (based upon a linux man-page)
- add comments to sscalls.master regarding some names of sysctls which are
different than the linux-names (based upon the linux unistd.h)
- add some dummy sysctls
- name an unimplemented sysctl

Vnode-backed mappings cannot be put into the kernel map, since it is a
system map.
Use exec_map for transient mappings, and remove the mappings with
kmem_free_wakeup() to notify the waiters on available map space.
Do not map the whole executable into KVA at all to copy it out into
usermode. Directly use vn_rdwr() for the case of not page aligned
binary.
There is one place left where the potentially unbounded amount of data
is mapped into exec_map, namely, in the COFF image activator
enumeration of the needed shared libraries.

system calls to provide feed-forward clock management capabilities to
userspace processes. ffclock_getcounter() returns the current value of the
kernel's feed-forward clock counter. ffclock_getestimate() returns the current
feed-forward clock parameter estimates and ffclock_setestimate() updates the
feed-forward clock parameter estimates.
- Document the syscalls in the ffclock.2 man page.
- Regenerate the script-derived syscall related files.

The current code mixes the use of `flags' and `mode'. This is a bit
confusing, since the faccessat() function as a `flag' parameter to store
the AT_ flag.
Make this less confusing by using the same name as used in the POSIX
specification -- `amode'.
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

I have not properly thought through the commit. After r220031 (linux
compat: improve and fix sendmsg/recvmsg compatibility) the basic
handling for SO_PASSCRED is not sufficient as it breaks recvmsg
functionality for SCM_CREDS messages because now we would need to handle
sockcred data in addition to cmsgcred. And that is not implemented yet.

FPU/SSE hardware. Caller should provide a save area that is chained
into the stack of the areas; pcb save_area for usermode FPU state is
on top. The pcb now contains a pointer to the current FPU saved area,
used during FPUDNA handling and context switches. There is also a
facility to allow the kernel thread to use pcb save_area.
Change the dreaded warnings "npxdna in kernel mode!" into the panics
when FPU usage is not registered.

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.

partially fixed on amd64 earlier. Rather than forcing linux_mmap_common()
to use a 32-bit offset, have it accept a 64-bit file offset. This offset
is then passed to the real mmap() call. Rather than inventing a structure
to hold the normal linux_mmap args that has a 64-bit offset, just pass
each of the arguments individually to linux_mmap_common() since that more
closes matches the existing style of various kern_foo() functions.

reschedule newly blocked signals, closing the race.
