Removed POSIX.1/NetBSD markup (braces) for NAME_MAX, etc. We don't
define this. Most FreeBSD man pages hard-code the limits; in fact,
utimes.2 recently became the only file in libc/sys/*.2 that mentions
NAME_MAX. There probably should be mandoc macros for this.
Text is a compromise based on messages from Wes Peters, Ville-Pertti
Keinonen, and Matt Dillon.

_BIG5_sgetrune() in libc doesn't work well, this commit will fix it.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

Unlike other filesystem objects, symbolic links do not have an owner,
group, access mode, times, etc. Instead, these attributes are taken from
the directory that contains the link. The only attributes returned from
an lstat() that refer to the symbolic link itself are the file type
(S_IFLNK), size, blocks, and link count (always 1).
This is bogus, and disagrees with the implementation and symlink(7).

call them. All the execX() libc functions should be vfork() safe now.
Specifically:
- execlp() does the argument count-and-build into a vector from alloca
(like the others) - buildargv() is no longer used (and gone).
- execvp() uses alloca/strcpy rather than strdup().
- the ENOEXEC handler uses alloca rather than malloc.
- a couple of free() calls removed - alloca works on the local stack and
the allocations are freed on function exit (which is why buildargv
wasn't useful - it's alloca() context would disappear on return).
Along the way:
- If alloca() fails (can it?), set errno = ENOMEM explicitly.
- The ENOEXEC recovery routine that trys again with /bin/sh appeared to
not be terminating the new argv[] array for /bin/sh, allowing it to
walk off the end of the list.
I dithered a bit about using alloca() even more as it's most commonly
associated with gcc. However, standalone portable (using malloc) and
machine-specific assembler alloca implementations appear to be available
on just about all the architectures we're likely to want to port to.
alloca will be the least of our problems if ever going to another compiler.

This changes the definitions of a few items so that structures are the
same whether or not the option itself is enabled. This allows
people to enable and disable the option without recompilng the world.
As the author says:
|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option. I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it. The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch. There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.
what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in. This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches. The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize). It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c. This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch. I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.

|Once the alpha code is adequately tested, we can pull VM_STACK out
