been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.
- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from
machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.

ACL_USER_OBJ and ACL_GROUP_OBJ fields, believing that modification of the
access ACL could be used by privileged processes to change file/directory

to correct that misunderstanding.
o Modify arguments to vaccess_acl_posix1e() to accept the uid and gid
associated with the vnode, as those can no longer be extracted from
the ACL passed as an argument. Perform all comparisons against
the passed arguments. This actually has the effect of simplifying
a number of components of this call, as well as reducing the indent
level, but now seperates handling of ACL_GROUP_OBJ from ACL_GROUP.
o Modify acl_posix1e_check() to return EINVAL if the ae_id field of
any of the ACL_{USER_OBJ,GROUP_OBJ,MASK,OTHER} entries is a value
other than ACL_UNDEFINED_ID. As a temporary work-around to allow
clean upgrades, set the ae_id field to ACL_UNDEFINED_ID before
each check so that this cannot cause a failure in the short term
(this work-around will be removed when the userland libraries and
utilities are updated to take this change into account).
o Modify ufs_sync_acl_from_inode() so that it forces
ACL_{USER_OBJ,GROUP_OBJ,MASK,OTHER} ae_id fields to ACL_UNDEFINED_ID
when synchronizing the ACL from the inode.
o Modify ufs_sync_inode_from_acl to not propagate uid and gid
information to the inode from the ACL during ACL update. Also
modify the masking of permission bits that may be set from
ALLPERMS to (S_IRWXU|S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO), as ACLs currently do not
carry none-ACCESSPERMS (S_ISUID, S_ISGID, S_ISTXT).
o Modify ufs_getacl() so that when it emulates an access ACL from
the inode, it initializes the ae_id fields to ACL_UNDEFINED_ID.
o Clean up ufs_setacl() substantially since it is no longer possible
to perform chown/chgrp operations using vop_setacl(), so all the
access control for that can be eliminated.
o Modify ufs_access() so that it passes owner uid and gid information
into vaccess_acl_posix1e().

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.
