When performing a non-blocking read(2), on a TTY while no data is
available, we should return EAGAIN. But if there's a modem disconnect,
we should return 0. Right now we only return 0 when doing a blocking
read, which is wrong.

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the
nullfs vnode gets VV_TEXT set, and you still can open the lower vnode
for write.
Add a set of VOPs for the VV_TEXT query, set and clear operations,
which are correctly bypassed to lower vnode.

I have to note that POSIX is simply stupid in how it describes O_EXEC/fexecve
and friends. Yes, not only inconsistent, but stupid.
In the open(2) description, O_RDONLY flag is described as:
O_RDONLY Open for reading only.
Taken from:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/open.html
Note "for reading only". Not "for reading or executing"!
In the fexecve(2) description you can find:
The fexecve() function shall fail if:
[EBADF]
The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor open for executing.
Taken from:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/exec.html
As you can see the function shall fail if the file was not open with O_EXEC!
And yet, if you look closer you can find this mess in the exec.html:
Since execute permission is checked by fexecve(), the file description
fd need not have been opened with the O_EXEC flag.
Yes, O_EXEC flag doesn't have to be specified after all. You can open a file
with O_RDONLY and you still be able to fexecve(2) it.
global variables are placed. When a module is loaded by link_elf
linker its variables from "set_vnet" linker set are copied to the
kernel "set_vnet" ("modspace") and all references to these variables
inside the module are relocated accordingly.
The issue is when a module is loaded that has references to global
variables from another, previously loaded module: these references are
not relocated so an invalid address is used when the module tries to
access the variable. The example is V_layer3_chain, defined in ipfw
module and accessed from ipfw_nat.
The same issue is with DPCPU variables, which use "set_pcpu" linker
set.
Fix this making the link_elf linker on a module load recognize
"external" DPCPU/VNET variables defined in the previously loaded
modules and relocate them accordingly. For this set_pcpu_list and
set_vnet_list are used, where the addresses of modules' "set_pcpu" and
"set_vnet" linker sets are stored.
Note, archs that use link_elf_obj (amd64) were not affected by this
issue.

The bad effect of having the thread id equal to -1 is that
UMTX_OP_UMUTEX_WAIT returns EFAULT for a lock owned by such thread,
because casuword cannot distinguish between literal value -1 read from
the address and -1 returned as an indication of faulted

Deny any attempt to do so by panicing at the locking operation
when INVARIANTS is on. Then, remove the check on blocking on a

The check in sleepqueues is left because they are not allowed to use

about vnode reclamation. Typical use is for the bypass mounts like
nullfs to get a notification about lower vnode going away.
Now, vgone() calls new VFS op vfs_reclaim_lowervp() with an argument
lowervp which is reclaimed. It is possible to register several
reclamation event listeners, to correctly handle the case of several
nullfs mounts over the same directory.
For the filesystem not having nullfs mounts over it, the overhead
added is a single mount interlock lock/unlock in the vnode reclamation
path.

MSG_WAITALL is set, and it is possible to do the entire receive
operation at once if we block (resid <= hiwat). Actually it might make
the recv(2) with MSG_WAITALL flag get stuck when there is enough space
in the receiver buffer to satisfy the request but not enough to open
the window closed previously due to the buffer being full.
The issue can be reproduced using the following scenario:
On the sender side do 2 send(2) requests:
1) data of size much smaller than SOBUF_SIZE (e.g. SOBUF_SIZE / 10);
2) data of size equal to SOBUF_SIZE.
On the receiver side do 2 recv(2) requests with MSG_WAITALL flag set:
1) recv() data of SOBUF_SIZE / 10 size;
2) recv() data of SOBUF_SIZE size;
We totally fill the receiver buffer with one SOBUF_SIZE/10 size request
and partial SOBUF_SIZE request. When the first request is processed we
get SOBUF_SIZE/10 free space. It is just enough to receive the rest of
bytes for the second request, and soreceive_generic() blocks in the
part that is a subject of this change waiting for the rest. But the
window was closed when the buffer was filled and to avoid silly window
syndrome it opens only when available space is larger than sb_hiwat/4
or maxseg. So it is stuck and pending data is only sent via TCP window
probes.

check it for MT_CONTROL type too, otherwise the assertion
"m->m_type == MT_DATA" below may be triggered by the following scenario:
- the sender sends some data (MT_DATA) and then a file descriptor

- the receiver calls recv(2) with a MSG_WAITALL asking for data larger
than the receive buffer (uio_resid > hiwat).

1. Process A pdfork(2)s process B.
2. Process A passes process descriptor of B to unrelated process C.
3. Hit CTRL+C to terminate process A. Process B is also terminated
with SIGINT.
4. init(8) collects status of process B.
5. Process C closes process descriptor associated with process B.
When we have such order of events, init(8), by collecting status of
process B, will call procdesc_reap(). This function sets pd_proc to NULL.
Now when process C calls close on this process descriptor,
procdesc_close() is called. Unfortunately procdesc_close() assumes that
pd_proc points at a valid proc structure, but it was set to NULL earlier,
so the kernel panics.
The patch also adds setting 'p->p_procdesc' to NULL in procdesc_reap(),
which I think should be done.

handler and not more statically.
Unfortunately, it seems that this is not ideal for new platform bringup
and boot low level development (which needs ktr_cpumask to be effective
before tunables can be setup).
Because of this, add a way to statically initialize cpusets, by passing
an list of initializers, divided by commas. Also, provide a way to enforce
an all-set mask, for above mentioned initializers.
This imposes some differences on how KTR_CPUMASK is setup now as a
kernel option, and in particular this makes the words specifications
backward wrt. what is currently in -CURRENT. In order to avoid mismatches
between KTR_CPUMASK definition and other way to setup the mask
(tunable, sysctl) and to print it, change the ordering how
cpusetobj_print() and cpusetobj_scan() acquire the words belonging
to the set.
Please give a look to sys/conf/NOTES in order to understand how the
new format is supposed to work.
Also, ktr manpages will be updated shortly by gjb which volountereed
for this.
This patch won't be merged because it changes a POLA (at least
from the theoretical standpoint) and this is however a patch that
proves to be effective only in development environments.
