7f724f8b51 Break out mac_check_vnode_op() into three seperate checks:
mac_check_vnode_poll(), mac_check_vnode_read(), mac_check_vnode_write().
This improves the consistency with other existing vnode checks, and
allows policies to avoid implementing switch statements to determine
what operations they do and do not want to authorize.

d49fa1ca6e In continuation of early fileop credential changes, modify fo_ioctl() to
accept an 'active_cred' argument reflecting the credential of the thread
initiating the ioctl operation.

- Change fo_ioctl() to accept active_cred; change consumers of the
  fo_ioctl() interface to generally pass active_cred from td->td_ucred.
- In fifofs, initialize filetmp.f_cred to ap->a_cred so that the
  invocations of soo_ioctl() are provided access to the calling f_cred.
  Pass ap->a_td->td_ucred as the active_cred, but note that this is
  required because we don't yet distinguish file_cred and active_cred
  in invoking VOP's.
- Update kqueue_ioctl() for its new argument.
- Update pipe_ioctl() for its new argument, pass active_cred rather
  than td_ucred to MAC for authorization.
- Update soo_ioctl() for its new argument.
- Update vn_ioctl() for its new argument, use active_cred rather than
  td->td_ucred to authorize VOP_IOCTL() and the associated VOP_GETATTR().

ea6027a8e1 Make similar changes to fo_stat() and fo_poll() as made earlier to
fo_read() and fo_write(): explicitly use the cred argument to fo_poll()
as "active_cred" using the passed file descriptor's f_cred reference
to provide access to the file credential.  Add an active_cred
argument to fo_stat() so that implementers have access to the active
credential as well as the file credential.  Generally modify callers
of fo_stat() to pass in td->td_ucred rather than fp->f_cred, which
was redundantly provided via the fp argument.  This set of modifications
also permits threads to perform these operations on behalf of another
thread without modifying their credential.

Trickle this change down into fo_stat/poll() implementations:

- badfo_poll(), badfo_stat(): modify/add arguments.
- kqueue_poll(), kqueue_stat(): modify arguments.
- pipe_poll(), pipe_stat(): modify/add arguments, pass active_cred to
  MAC checks rather than td->td_ucred.
- soo_poll(), soo_stat(): modify/add arguments, pass fp->f_cred rather
  than cred to pru_sopoll() to maintain current semantics.
- sopoll(): moidfy arguments.
- vn_poll(), vn_statfile(): modify/add arguments, pass new arguments
  to vn_stat().  Pass active_cred to MAC and fp->f_cred to VOP_POLL()
  to maintian current semantics.
- vn_close(): rename cred to file_cred to reflect reality while I'm here.
- vn_stat(): Add active_cred and file_cred arguments to vn_stat()
  and consumers so that this distinction is maintained at the VFS
  as well as 'struct file' layer.  Pass active_cred instead of
  td->td_ucred to MAC and to VOP_GETATTR() to maintain current semantics.

- fifofs: modify the creation of a "filetemp" so that the file
  credential is properly initialized and can be used in the socket
  code if desired.  Pass ap->a_td->td_ucred as the active
  credential to soo_poll().  If we teach the vnop interface about
  the distinction between file and active credentials, we would use
  the active credential here.

Note that current inconsistent passing of active_cred vs. file_cred to
VOP's is maintained.  It's not clear why GETATTR would be authorized
using active_cred while POLL would be authorized using file_cred at
the file system level.

9ca435893b In order to better support flexible and extensible access control,
make a series of modifications to the credential arguments relating
to file read and write operations to cliarfy which credential is
used for what:

- Change fo_read() and fo_write() to accept "active_cred" instead of
  "cred", and change the semantics of consumers of fo_read() and
  fo_write() to pass the active credential of the thread requesting
  an operation rather than the cached file cred.  The cached file
  cred is still available in fo_read() and fo_write() consumers
  via fp->f_cred.  These changes largely in sys_generic.c.

For each implementation of fo_read() and fo_write(), update cred
usage to reflect this change and maintain current semantics:

- badfo_readwrite() unchanged
- kqueue_read/write() unchanged
  pipe_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred rather
  than td->td_ucred
- soo_read/write() unchanged
- vn_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred but
  VOP_READ/WRITE() with fp->f_cred

Modify vn_rdwr() to accept two credential arguments instead of a
single credential: active_cred and file_cred.  Use active_cred
for MAC authorization, and select a credential for use in
VOP_READ/WRITE() based on whether file_cred is NULL or not.  If
file_cred is provided, authorize the VOP using that cred,
otherwise the active credential, matching current semantics.

Modify current vn_rdwr() consumers to pass a file_cred if used
in the context of a struct file, and to always pass active_cred.
When vn_rdwr() is used without a file_cred, pass NOCRED.

These changes should maintain current semantics for read/write,
but avoid a redundant passing of fp->f_cred, as well as making
it more clear what the origin of each credential is in file
descriptor read/write operations.

Follow-up commits will make similar changes to other file descriptor
operations, and modify the MAC framework to pass both credentials
to MAC policy modules so they can implement either semantic for
revocation.

0231c03df4 Implement IO_NOMACCHECK in vn_rdwr() -- perform MAC checks (assuming
'options MAC') as long as IO_NOMACCHECK is not set in the IO flags.
If IO_NOMACCHECK is set, bypass MAC checks in vn_rdwr().  This allows
vn_rdwr() to be used as a utility function inside of file systems
where MAC checks have already been performed, or where the operation
is being done on behalf of the kernel not the user.

e6e370a7fe - Replace v_flag with v_iflag and v_vflag
- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
   with VOP calls is needed.
 - v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
   management issues.  These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
 - All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
   mp_fixme's.
 - Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
   clear.
 - Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
   locking.

4a58340e98 Introduce support for Mandatory Access Control and extensible
kernel access control

Invoke appropriate MAC framework entry points to authorize a number
of vnode operations, including read, write, stat, poll.  This permits
MAC policies to revoke access to files following label changes,
and to limit information spread about the file to user processes.

Note: currently the file cached credential is used for some of
these authorization check.  We will need to expand some of the
MAC entry point APIs to permit multiple creds to be passed to
the access control check to allow diverse policy behavior.

kernel access control.

Restructure the vn_open_cred() access control checks to invoke
the MAC entry point for open authorization.  Note that MAC can
reject open requests where existing DAC code skips the open
authorization check due to O_CREAT.  However, the failure mode
here is the same as other failure modes following creation,
wherein an empty file may be left behind.

1c85e6a35d This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

44731cab3b Change the suser() API to take advantage of td_ucred as well as do a
general cleanup of the API.  The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API.  The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument.  The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0.  The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

8de00f4a87 This patch adds the "LOCKSHARED" option to namei which causes it to only acquire shared locks on leafs.
The stat() and open() calls have been changed to make use of this new functionality.  Using shared locks in
these cases is sufficient and can significantly reduce their latency if IO is pending to these vnodes.  Also,
this reduces the number of exclusive locks that are floating around in the system, which helps reduce the
number of deadlocks that occur.

A new kernel option "LOOKUP_SHARED" has been added.  It defaults to off so this patch can be turned on for
testing, and should eventually go away once it is proven to be stable.  I have personally been running this
patch for over a year now, so it is believed to be fully stable.

74237f55b0 Part I: Update extended attribute API and ABI:
o Modify the system call syntax for extattr_{get,set}_{fd,file}() so
  as not to use the scatter gather API (which appeared not to be used
  by any consumers, and be less portable), rather, accepts 'data'
  and 'nbytes' in the style of other simple read/write interfaces.
  This changes the API and ABI.

o Modify system call semantics so that extattr_get_{fd,file}() return
  a size_t.  When performing a read, the number of bytes read will
  be returned, unless the data pointer is NULL, in which case the
  number of bytes of data are returned.  This changes the API only.

o Modify the VOP_GETEXTATTR() vnode operation to accept a *size_t
  argument so as to return the size, if desirable.  If set to NULL,
  the size will not be returned.

o Update various filesystems (pseodofs, ufs) to DTRT.

These changes should make extended attributes more useful and more
portable.  More commits to rebuild the system call files, as well
as update userland utilities to follow.

426da3bcfb SMP Lock struct file, filedesc and the global file list.
Seigo Tanimura (tanimura) posted the initial delta.

I've polished it quite a bit reducing the need for locking and
adapting it for KSE.

Locks:

1 mutex in each filedesc
   protects all the fields.
   protects "struct file" initialization, while a struct file
     is being changed from &badfileops -> &pipeops or something
     the filedesc should be locked.

1 mutex in each struct file
   protects the refcount fields.
   doesn't protect anything else.
   the flags used for garbage collection have been moved to
     f_gcflag which was the FILLER short, this doesn't need
     locking because the garbage collection is a single threaded
     container.
  could likely be made to use a pool mutex.

1 sx lock for the global filelist.

struct file *	fhold(struct file *fp);
        /* increments reference count on a file */

struct file *	fhold_locked(struct file *fp);
        /* like fhold but expects file to locked */

struct file *	ffind_hold(struct thread *, int fd);
        /* finds the struct file in thread, adds one reference and
                returns it unlocked */

struct file *	ffind_lock(struct thread *, int fd);
        /* ffind_hold, but returns file locked */

I still have to smp-safe the fget cruft, I'll get to that asap.

problems and could also deadlock easily.  This code relegates the vnode
reclamation to its own kproc and relaxes the vnode reclamation requirements
to better maintain kern.maxvnodes.  This code still doesn't balance as well

06ae1e91c4 This brings in a Yahoo coredump patch from Paul, with additional mods by
me (addition of vn_rdwr_inchunks).  The problem Yahoo is solving is that
if you have large process images core dumping, or you have a large number of
forked processes all core dumping at the same time, the original coredump code
would leave the vnode locked throughout.  This can cause the directory vnode
to get locked up, which can cause the parent directory vnode to get locked
up, and so on all the way to the root node, locking the entire machine up
for extremely long periods of time.

This patch solves the problem in two ways.  First it uses an advisory
non-blocking lock to abort multiple processes trying to core to the same
file.  Second (my contribution) it chunks up the writes and uses bwillwrite()
to avoid holding the vnode locked while blocking in the buffer cache.

ac8f990bde This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset
Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.

Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%.  For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.

I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

112f737245 When closing the last reference to an unlinked file, it is freed
by the inactive routine. Because the freeing causes the filesystem
to be modified, the close must be held up during periods when the
filesystem is suspended.

For snapshots to be consistent across crashes, they must write
blocks that they copy and claim those written blocks in their
on-disk block pointers before the old blocks that they referenced
can be allowed to be written.

Close a loophole that allowed unwritten blocks to be skipped when
doing ffs_sync with a request to wait for all I/O activity to be
completed.
