As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor

similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid

such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

The stat() and open() calls have been changed to make use of this new functionality. Using shared locks in
these cases is sufficient and can significantly reduce their latency if IO is pending to these vnodes. Also,
this reduces the number of exclusive locks that are floating around in the system, which helps reduce the
number of deadlocks that occur.
A new kernel option "LOOKUP_SHARED" has been added. It defaults to off so this patch can be turned on for
testing, and should eventually go away once it is proven to be stable. I have personally been running this

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

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

An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.
This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.
* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().
* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being

* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()

* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
(besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
(linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)
* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
since its a pointer into userland.
* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
filesystem. This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
each filesystem can override it if they want to.
* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.
`rootvnode' pointer, but vfs_syscalls.c's checkdirs() assumed that
it did. This bug reliably caused a panic at reboot time if any
filesystem had been mounted directly over /.
The checkdirs() function is called at mount time to find any process
fd_cdir or fd_rdir pointers referencing the covered mountpoint
vnode. It transfers these to point at the root of the new filesystem.
However, this process was not reversed at unmount time, so processes
with a cwd/root at a mount point would unexpectedly lose their
cwd/root following a mount-unmount cycle at that mountpoint.
This change should fix both of the above issues. Start_init() now
holds an extra vnode reference corresponding to `rootvnode', and
dounmount() releases this reference when the root filesystem is
unmounted just before reboot. Dounmount() now undoes the actions
taken by checkdirs() at mount time; any process cdir/rdir pointers
that reference the root vnode of the unmounted filesystem are
transferred to the now-uncovered vnode.

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed

has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used

function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we

syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

Make the alias list a SLIST.
Drop the "fast recycling" optimization of vnodes (including
the returning of a prexisting but stale vnode from checkalias).
It doesn't buy us anything now that we don't hardlimit
vnodes anymore.
Rename checkalias2() and checkalias() to addalias() and
addaliasu() - which takes dev_t and udev_t arg respectively.
Make the revoke syscalls use vcount() instead of VALIASED.
Remove VALIASED flag, we don't need it now and it is faster
to traverse the much shorter lists than to maintain the
flag.
vfs_mountedon() can check the dev_t directly, all the vnodes
point to the same one.
Print the devicename in specfs/vprint().
Remove a couple of stale LFS vnode flags.
Remove unimplemented/unused LK_DRAINED;

the old behavior until the Trans-Pacific Internet Vulcan Mind Meld
yields fuller understanding.

This does not fix other problems mentioned in this PR than the first

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left

Wakeup anyone waiting on a mount point prior to returning from umount,
whether an error occurs or not. Fixes a stat/NFS-umount race and other
potential future problems. Fix taken from bug/pr which also indicated
that the same fix has already been applied to OpenBSD and NetBSD.
