madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.

CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a

not refer to a path name. Change vn_open() to respect this flag. This
also simplifies the Linuxolator a bit.

set up for access(2) is not properly updated when its effective uid is

When renaming a directory it passes through several intermediate
states. First its new name will be created causing it to have two
names (from possibly different parents). Next, if it has different
parents, its value of ".." will be changed from pointing to the old
parent to pointing to the new parent. Concurrently, its old name
will be removed bringing it back into a consistent state. When fsck
encounters an extra name for a directory, it offers to remove the
"extraneous hard link"; when it finds that the names have been
changed but the update to ".." has not happened, it offers to rewrite
".." to point at the correct parent. Both of these changes were
considered unexpected so would cause fsck in preen mode or fsck in
background mode to fail with the need to run fsck manually to fix
these problems. Fsck running in preen mode or background mode now
corrects these expected inconsistencies that arise during directory
rename. The functionality added with this update is used by fsck
running in background mode to make these fixes.
Solution:
This update adds three new fsck sysctl commands to support background
fsck in correcting expected inconsistencies that arise from incomplete
directory rename operations. They are:
setcwd(dirinode) - set the current directory to dirinode in the
filesystem associated with the snapshot.
setdotdot(oldvalue, newvalue) - Verify that the inode number for ".."
in the current directory is oldvalue then change it to newvalue.
unlink(nameptr, oldvalue) - Verify that the inode number associated
with nameptr in the current directory is oldvalue then unlink it.
As with all other fsck sysctls, these new ones may only be used by
processes with appropriate priviledge.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system. Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().
Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings. The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system

- Remove unneeded printf's from stat() and statfs().
- Make the Linuxolator use kern_statat_vnhook(), replacing
translate_path_major_minor_at().
- Let translate_fd_major_minor() use vp->v_rdev instead of
