7159310fa6 The fasttrap fork handler is responsible for removing tracepoints in the
child process that were inherited from its parent. However, this should
not be done in the case of a vfork, since the fork handler ends up removing
the tracepoints from the shared vm space, and userland DTrace probes in the
parent will no longer fire as a result.

Now the child of a vfork may trigger userland DTrace probes enabled in its
parent, so modify the fasttrap probe handler to handle this case and handle
the child process in the same way that it would handle the traced process.
In particular, if once traces function foo() in a process that vforks, and
the child calls foo(), fasttrap will treat this call as having come from the
parent. This is the behaviour of the upstream code.

While here, add #ifdef guards to some code that isn't present upstream.

54366c0bd7 - For kernel compiled only with KDTRACE_HOOKS and not any lock debugging
option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
  calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
  version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
  Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
  unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
  kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
  consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
  Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
  dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
  is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].

[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested.  As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while.  Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

55648840de Extend the support for exempting processes from being killed when swap is
exhausted.
- Add a new protect(1) command that can be used to set or revoke protection
  from arbitrary processes.  Similar to ktrace it can apply a change to all
  existing descendants of a process as well as future descendants.
- Add a new procctl(2) system call that provides a generic interface for
  control operations on processes (as opposed to the debugger-specific
  operations provided by ptrace(2)).  procctl(2) uses a combination of
  idtype_t and an id to identify the set of processes on which to operate
  similar to wait6().
- Add a PROC_SPROTECT control operation to manage the protection status
  of a set of processes.  MADV_PROTECT still works for backwards
  compatability.
- Add a p_flag2 to struct proc (and a corresponding ki_flag2 to kinfo_proc)
  the first bit of which is used to track if P_PROTECT should be inherited

2609222ab4 Merge Capsicum overhaul:
- Capability is no longer separate descriptor type. Now every descriptor
  has set of its own capability rights.

- The cap_new(2) system call is left, but it is no longer documented and
  should not be used in new code.

- The new syscall cap_rights_limit(2) should be used instead of
  cap_new(2), which limits capability rights of the given descriptor
  without creating a new one.

- The cap_getrights(2) syscall is renamed to cap_rights_get(2).

- If CAP_IOCTL capability right is present we can further reduce allowed
  ioctls list with the new cap_ioctls_limit(2) syscall. List of allowed
  ioctls can be retrived with cap_ioctls_get(2) syscall.

- If CAP_FCNTL capability right is present we can further reduce fcntls
  that can be used with the new cap_fcntls_limit(2) syscall and retrive
  them with cap_fcntls_get(2).

- To support ioctl and fcntl white-listing the filedesc structure was
  heavly modified.

- The audit subsystem, kdump and procstat tools were updated to
  recognize new syscalls.

- Capability rights were revised and eventhough I tried hard to provide
  backward API and ABI compatibility there are some incompatible changes
  that are described in detail below:

	CAP_CREATE old behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.
	- Allow for linkat(2).
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).
	CAP_CREATE new behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.

	Added CAP_LINKAT:
	- Allow for linkat(2). ABI: Reuses CAP_RMDIR bit.
	- Allow to be target for renameat(2).

	Added CAP_SYMLINKAT:
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).

	Removed CAP_DELETE. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing non-directory object.
	- Allow to be source for renameat(2).

	Removed CAP_RMDIR. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing directory.

	Added CAP_RENAMEAT:
	- Required for source directory for the renameat(2) syscall.

	Added CAP_UNLINKAT (effectively it replaces CAP_DELETE and CAP_RMDIR):
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) on any object.
	- Required if target of renameat(2) exists and will be removed by this
	  call.

	Removed CAP_MAPEXEC.

	CAP_MMAP old behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2) with any combination of PROT_NONE, PROT_READ and
	  PROT_WRITE.
	CAP_MMAP new behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2)+PROT_NONE.

	Added CAP_MMAP_R:

	Renamed CAP_MKDIR to CAP_MKDIRAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKFIFO to CAP_MKFIFOAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKNODE to CAP_MKNODEAT.

f7e50ea722 Fix a race between kern_setitimer() and realitexpire(), where the
callout is started before kern_setitimer() acquires process mutex, but
looses a race and kern_setitimer() gets the process mutex before the
callout.  Then, assuming that new specified struct itimerval has
it_interval zero, but it_value non-zero, the callout, after it starts
executing again, clears p->p_realtimer.it_value, but kern_setitimer()
already rescheduled the callout.

As the result of the race, both p_realtimer is zero, and the callout
is rescheduled. Then, in the exit1(), the exit code sees that it_value
is zero and does not even try to stop the callout. This allows the
struct proc to be reused and eventually the armed callout is
re-initialized.  The consequence is the corrupted callwheel tailq.

Use process mutex to interlock the callout start, which fixes the race.

cfb5f76865 Add experimental support for process descriptors
A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.

New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.

When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.

This feature is enabled by "options PROCDESC", but as with several other
Capsicum kernel features, is not enabled by default in GENERIC 9.0.

d680caab73 - When disabling ktracing on a process, free any pending requests that
may be left.  This fixes a memory leak that can occur when tracing is
  disabled on a process via disabling tracing of a specific file (or if
  an I/O error occurs with the tracefile) if the process's next system
  call is exit().  The trace disabling code clears p_traceflag, so exit1()
  doesn't do any KTRACE-related cleanup leading to the leak.  I chose to
  make the free'ing of pending records synchronous rather than patching
  exit1().
- Move KTRACE-specific logic out of kern_(exec|exit|fork).c and into
  kern_ktrace.c instead.  Make ktrace_mtx private to kern_ktrace.c as a

8a945d109c Reintroduce the r196640, after fixing the problem with my testing.
Remove the altkstacks, instead instantiate threads with kernel stack
allocated with the right size from the start. For the thread that has
kernel stack cached, verify that requested stack size is equial to the
actual, and reallocate the stack if sizes differ [1].

This fixes the bug introduced by r173361 that was committed several days
after r173004 and consisted of kthread_add(9) ignoring the non-default
kernel stack size.

Also, r173361 removed the caching of the kernel stacks for a non-first
thread in the process. Introduce separate kernel stack cache that keeps
some limited amount of preallocated kernel stacks to lower the latency
of thread allocation. Add vm_lowmem handler to prune the cache on
low memory condition. This way, system with reasonable amount of the
threads get lower latency of thread creation, while still not exhausting
significant portion of KVA for unused kstacks.
