f591779bb5 Lock struct pgrp, session and sigio.
New locks are:

- pgrpsess_lock which locks the whole pgrps and sessions,
- pg_mtx which protects the pgrp members, and
- s_mtx which protects the session members.

Please refer to sys/proc.h for the coverage of these locks.

Changes on the pgrp/session interface:

- pgfind() needs the pgrpsess_lock held.

- The caller of enterpgrp() is responsible to allocate a new pgrp and
  session.

- Call enterthispgrp() in order to enter an existing pgrp.

- pgsignal() requires a pgrp lock held.

5b29d6e906 Clean up breakage in inferior() I introduced in 1.92 of kern_proc.c:
- Restore inferior() to being iterative rather than recursive.
- Assert that the proctree_lock is held in inferior() and change the one
  caller to get a shared lock of it.  This also ensures that we hold the
  lock after performing the check so the check can't be made invalid out
  from under us after the check but before we act on it.

8a7d8cc675 - Combine kern.ps_showallprocs and kern.ipc.showallsockets into
a single kern.security.seeotheruids_permitted, describes as:
  "Unprivileged processes may see subjects/objects with different real uid"
  NOTE: kern.ps_showallprocs exists in -STABLE, and therefore there is
  an API change.  kern.ipc.showallsockets does not.
- Check kern.security.seeotheruids_permitted in cr_cansee().
- Replace visibility calls to socheckuid() with cr_cansee() (retain
  the change to socheckuid() in ipfw, where it is used for rule-matching).
- Remove prison_unpcb() and make use of cr_cansee() against the UNIX
  domain socket credential instead of comparing root vnodes for the
  UDS and the process.  This allows multiple jails to share the same
  chroot() and not see each others UNIX domain sockets.
- Remove unused socheckproc().

Now that cr_cansee() is used universally for socket visibility, a variety
of policies are more consistently enforced, including uid-based
restrictions and jail-based restrictions.  This also better-supports
the introduction of additional MAC models.

a0f75161f9 o Replace calls to p_can(..., P_CAN_xxx) with calls to p_canxxx().
The p_can(...) construct was a premature (and, it turns out,
  awkward) abstraction.  The individual calls to p_canxxx() better
  reflect differences between the inter-process authorization checks,
  such as differing checks based on the type of signal.  This has
  a side effect of improving code readability.
o Replace direct credential authorization checks in ktrace() with
  invocation of p_candebug(), while maintaining the special case
  check of KTR_ROOT.  This allows ktrace() to "play more nicely"
  with new mandatory access control schemes, as well as making its
  authorization checks consistent with other "debugging class"
  checks.
o Eliminate "privused" construct for p_can*() calls which allowed the
  caller to determine if privilege was required for successful
  evaluation of the access control check.  This primitive is currently
  unused, and as such, serves only to complicate the API.

b1fc0ec1a7 o Merge contents of struct pcred into struct ucred. Specifically, add the
real uid, saved uid, real gid, and saved gid to ucred, as well as the
  pcred->pc_uidinfo, which was associated with the real uid, only rename
  it to cr_ruidinfo so as not to conflict with cr_uidinfo, which
  corresponds to the effective uid.
o Remove p_cred from struct proc; add p_ucred to struct proc, replacing
  original macro that pointed.
  p->p_ucred to p->p_cred->pc_ucred.
o Universally update code so that it makes use of ucred instead of pcred,
  p->p_ucred instead of p->p_pcred, cr_ruidinfo instead of p_uidinfo,
  cr_{r,sv}{u,g}id instead of p_*, etc.
o Remove pcred0 and its initialization from init_main.c; initialize
  cr_ruidinfo there.
o Restruction many credential modification chunks to always crdup while
  we figure out locking and optimizations; generally speaking, this
  means moving to a structure like this:
        newcred = crdup(oldcred);
        ...
        p->p_ucred = newcred;
        crfree(oldcred);
  It's not race-free, but better than nothing.  There are also races
  in sys_process.c, all inter-process authorization, fork, exec, and
  exit.
o Remove sigio->sio_ruid since sigio->sio_ucred now contains the ruid;
  remove comments indicating that the old arrangement was a problem.
o Restructure exec1() a little to use newcred/oldcred arrangement, and
  use improved uid management primitives.
o Clean up exit1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup due to
  pcred removal.
o Clean up fork1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup and
  allocation.
o Clean up ktrcanset() to take into account changes, and move to using
  suser_xxx() instead of performing a direct uid==0 comparision.
o Improve commenting in various kern_prot.c credential modification
  calls to better document current behavior.  In a couple of places,
  current behavior is a little questionable and we need to check
  POSIX.1 to make sure it's "right".  More commenting work still
  remains to be done.
o Update credential management calls, such as crfree(), to take into
  account new ruidinfo reference.
o Modify or add the following uid and gid helper routines:
      change_euid()
      change_egid()
      change_ruid()
      change_rgid()
      change_svuid()
      change_svgid()
  In each case, the call now acts on a credential not a process, and as
  such no longer requires more complicated process locking/etc.  They
  now assume the caller will do any necessary allocation of an
  exclusive credential reference.  Each is commented to document its
  reference requirements.
o CANSIGIO() is simplified to require only credentials, not processes
  and pcreds.
o Remove lots of (p_pcred==NULL) checks.
o Add an XXX to authorization code in nfs_lock.c, since it's
  questionable, and needs to be considered carefully.
o Simplify posix4 authorization code to require only credentials, not
  processes and pcreds.  Note that this authorization, as well as
  CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
  p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
  do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled
  by the centralized routines, as well as being inconsistent with other
  similar authorization instances.
o Update libkvm to take these changes into account.

d5a08a6065 Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly.
- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
  scheduling classes using different portions of the array.  This
  allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
  interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
  32.  We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
  may not be optimal.  The new run queue code was written with this
  in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
  constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter.  This
  is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues.  Implement
  wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
  the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
  propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
  symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
  This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
  it should yield.  We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority().  It should now have the desired
  effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
  idle loop.  It interfered with propogate_priority() because
  the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
  and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
  onto it.  The idle process should not do anything except idle.
  vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
  kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
  system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface.  Deliberately
  change its size by adjusting the spare fields.  It remained the same
  size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
  would parse the data incorrectly.  The size constraint should really
  be changed to an arbitrary version number.  Also add a debug.sizeof
  sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

than freeing the structure when the resource consumption drops to zero.

387d2c036b o Centralize inter-process access control, introducing:
int p_can(p1, p2, operation, privused)

  which allows specification of subject process, object process,
  inter-process operation, and an optional call-by-reference privused
  flag, allowing the caller to determine if privilege was required
  for the call to succeed.  This allows jail, kern.ps_showallprocs and
  regular credential-based interaction checks to occur in one block of
  code.  Possible operations are P_CAN_SEE, P_CAN_SCHED, P_CAN_KILL,
  and P_CAN_DEBUG.  p_can currently breaks out as a wrapper to a
  series of static function checks in kern_prot, which should not
  be invoked directly.

o Commented out capabilities entries are included for some checks.

o Update most inter-process authorization to make use of p_can() instead
  of manual checks, PRISON_CHECK(), P_TRESPASS(), and
  kern.ps_showallprocs.

o Modify suser{,_xxx} to use const arguments, as it no longer modifies
  process flags due to the disabling of ASU.

o Modify some checks/errors in procfs so that ENOENT is returned instead
  of ESRCH, further improving concealment of processes that should not

82d9ae4e32 Style police catches up with rev 1.26 of src/sys/sys/sysctl.h:
Sanitize SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS so that simplistic tools can grog our
sources:

        -sysctl_vm_zone SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS
        +sysctl_vm_zone (SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS)

c636255150 fix races in the uidinfo subsystem, several problems existed:
1) while allocating a uidinfo struct malloc is called with M_WAITOK,
   it's possible that while asleep another process by the same user
   could have woken up earlier and inserted an entry into the uid
   hash table.  Having redundant entries causes inconsistancies that
   we can't handle.

   fix: do a non-waiting malloc, and if that fails then do a blocking
   malloc, after waking up check that no one else has inserted an entry
   for us already.

2) Because many checks for sbsize were done as "test then set" in a non
   atomic manner it was possible to exceed the limits put up via races.

   fix: instead of querying the count then setting, we just attempt to
   set the count and leave it up to the function to return success or
   failure.

3) The uidinfo code was inlining and repeating, lookups and insertions
   and deletions needed to be in their own functions for clarity.
