b55abfd929 o Reserve system call 377 for afs_syscall; by reserving a system call
number, portable OpenAFS applications don't have to attempt to determine
  what system call number was dynamically allocated.  No system call
  prototype or implementation is defined.

9c94f7731e o Introduce eaccess(2), a version of access(2) that uses the effective
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().

356861db03 Remove the MPSAFE keyword from the parser for syscalls.master.
Instead introduce the [M] prefix to existing keywords.  e.g.
MSTD is the MP SAFE version of STD.  This is prepatory for a
massive Giant lock pushdown.  The old MPSAFE keyword made
syscalls.master too messy.

Begin comments MP-Safe procedures with the comment:
/*
 * MPSAFE
 */
This comments means that the procedure may be called without
Giant held (The procedure itself may still need to obtain
Giant temporarily to do its thing).

sv_prepsyscall() is now MP SAFE and assumed to be MP SAFE
sv_transtrap() is now MP SAFE and assumed to be MP SAFE

ktrsyscall() and ktrsysret() are now MP SAFE (Giant Pushdown)
trapsignal() is now MP SAFE (Giant Pushdown)

Places which used to do the if (mtx_owned(&Giant)) mtx_unlock(&Giant)
test in syscall[2]() in */*/trap.c now do not.  Instead they
explicitly unlock Giant if they previously obtained it, and then
assert that it is no longer held to catch broken system calls.

Rebuild syscall tables.

2395531439 Introduce a global lock for the vm subsystem (vm_mtx).
vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.

faults can not be taken without holding Giant.

Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.

Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the
vm mutex.

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.

FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor
changes (grabbing the vm lock when twiddling page properties).

130d0157d1 o Introduce a new system call, __setsugid(), which allows a process to
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.

fec605c882 o Introduce extattr_{delete,get,set}_fd() to allow extended attribute
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.

70f3685105 o Change the API and ABI of the Extended Attribute kernel interfaces to
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.

aa4b7eae22 Fixed the declaration of mmap(). The crufty padding arg had the wrong
type.  This gave an inconsistent amount of crufty padding on i386's with
64-bit longs (8 bytes instead of 4).  On alphas it gives a consistent
amount of crufty padding (8 bytes) in addition to the 4 bytes of normal
padding caused by passing int args as register_t's.

Fixed the args struct tag for the NOPROTO syscalls (netbsd_lchown() and
netbsd_msync()).  The tag is currently unused for NOPROTO syscalls, so
the bug has no effect, but it will be used even in the NOPROTO case to
calculate sy_nargs correctly.

Rename sigaction, sigprocmask, sigpending and sigsuspend to
osigaction, osigprocmask, osigpending and osigsuspend (resp)
and add new syscalls for them to support the new sisgset_t

compliant.

Also, rename sigreturn to osigreturn and add a new syscall
to support the modified stackframe. The change is caused by
sigreturn operating on ucontext_t now and the fact that
siginfo_t has been updated to conform to SUSv2.

325e13dd19 A kldsym(2) syscall prototype for extracting information from the in-kernel
linker.  This is intended to replace kvm_mkdb etc.  The first version
only does name->value lookups, but it's open ended.  value->name lookups
would probably be a good thing to do too.

It's been suggested to try and connect the symbol tables to sysctl (which
is probably a more flexible way of doing it if it's done right), but that
is far more complex and difficult than I was ready to have a shot at.

dd0b2081f4 Implemented zero-copy TCP/IP extensions via sendfile(2) - send a
file to a stream socket. sendfile(2) is similar to implementations in
HP-UX, Linux, and other systems, but the API is more extensive and
addresses many of the complaints that the Apache Group and others have
had with those other implementations. Thanks to Marc Slemko of the
Apache Group for helping me work out the best API for this.
Anyway, this has the "net" result of speeding up sends of files over
TCP/IP sockets by about 10X (that is to say, uses 1/10th of the CPU
cycles) when compared to a traditional read/write loop.
