Rather than combining the declearation of nosys with the registration
of SYS_syscall, declare syscall(2) and __syscall(2) with the new
SYSMUX type in syscalls.master and declare nosys directly. This

Declare the exit system call normally. This results in the
implementation being named sys_exit rather than sys_sys_exit and
being decalred as returning an int. Infact it does not return
at all because exit1 does not, so add an __unreachable() to let the
compiler know that.

Switch the main syscall table to use CAPENABLED flags rather than
capabilities.conf. This avoid synchronization issues between
syscalls.master and capabilities.conf (e.g. when renaming a syscall
during development).
For now, move capabilities.conf to sys/compat/freebsd32 and use it
there. Use of sys/compat/freebsd32/syscalls.master should be replaced
by makesyscalls.lua enhancements to allow the main one to be used.
This change results in no changes to generated files after running
`make sysent`.

fspacectl(2) is a system call to provide space management support to
userspace applications. VOP_DEALLOCATE(9) is a VOP call to perform the
deallocation. vn_deallocate(9) is a public KPI for kmods' use.
The purpose of proposing a new system call, a KPI and a VOP call is to
allow bhyve or other hypervisor monitors to emulate the behavior of SCSI
UNMAP/NVMe DEALLOCATE on a plain file.
fspacectl(2) comprises of cmd and flags parameters to specify the
space management operation to be performed. Currently cmd has to be
SPACECTL_DEALLOC, and flags has to be 0.
fo_fspacectl is added to fileops.
VOP_DEALLOCATE(9) is added as a new VOP call. A trivial implementation
of VOP_DEALLOCATE(9) is provided.

POSIX AIO is great, but it lacks vectored I/O functions. This commit
fixes that shortcoming by adding aio_writev and aio_readv. They aren't
part of the standard, but they're an obvious extension. They work just
like their synchronous equivalents pwritev and preadv.

eventfd is a Linux system call that produces special file descriptors
for event notification. When porting Linux software, it is currently
usually emulated by epoll-shim on top of kqueues. Unfortunately, kqueues
are not passable between processes. And, as noted by the author of
epoll-shim, even if they were, the library state would also have to be
passed somehow. This came up when debugging strange HW video decode
failures in Firefox. A native implementation would avoid these problems
and help with porting Linux software.
Since we now already have an eventfd implementation in the kernel (for
the Linuxulator), it's pretty easy to expose it natively, which is what
this patch does.

Include a temporarily compatibility shim as well for kernels predating
close_range, since closefrom is used in some critical areas.
Reviewed by: markj (previous version), kib
Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24399
close_range(min, max, flags) allows for a range of descriptors to be
closed. The Python folk have indicated that they would much prefer this
interface to closefrom(2), as the case may be that they/someone have special
fds dup'd to higher in the range and they can't necessarily closefrom(min)
because they don't want to hit the upper range, but relocating them to lower
isn't necessarily feasible.
sys_closefrom has been rewritten to use kern_close_range() using ~0U to
indicate closing to the end of the range. This was chosen rather than
requiring callers of kern_close_range() to hold FILEDESC_SLOCK across the
call to kern_close_range for simplicity.
The flags argument of close_range(2) is currently unused, so any flags set
is currently EINVAL. It was added to the interface in Linux so that future
flags could be added for, e.g., "halt on first error" and things of this
nature.
This patch is based on a syscall of the same design that is expected to be
merged into Linux.

realpath(3) is used a lot e.g., by clang and is a major source of getcwd
and fstatat calls. This can be done more efficiently in the kernel.
This works by performing a regular lookup while saving the name and found
parent directory. If the terminal vnode is a directory we can resolve it using
usual means. Otherwise we can use the name saved by lookup and resolve the
parent.
See the review for sample syscall counts.

A new syscall sigfastblock(2) is added which registers a uint32_t
variable as containing the count of blocks for signal delivery. Its
content is read by kernel on each syscall entry and on AST processing,
non-zero count of blocks is interpreted same as the signal mask
blocking all signals.
The biggest downside of the feature that I see is that memory
corruption that affects the registered fast sigblock location, would
cause quite strange application misbehavior. For instance, the process
would be immune to ^C (but killable by SIGKILL).
With consumers (rtld and libthr added), benchmarks do not show a
slow-down of the syscalls in micro-measurements, and macro benchmarks
like buildworld do not demonstrate a difference. Part of the reason is
that buildworld time is dominated by compiler, and clang already links
to libthr. On the other hand, small utilities typically used by shell
scripts have the total number of syscalls cut by half.
The syscall is not exported from the stable libc version namespace on
purpose. It is intended to be used only by our C runtime
implementation internals.

Add an atomic shm rename operation, similar in spirit to a file
rename. Atomically unlink an shm from a source path and link it to a
destination path. If an existing shm is linked at the destination
path, unlink it as part of the same atomic operation. The caller needs
the same permissions as shm_unlink to the shm being renamed, and the
same permissions for the shm at the destination which is being
unlinked, if it exists. If those fail, EACCES is returned, as with the
other shm_* syscalls.
truss support is included; audit support will come later.
This commit includes only the implementation; the sysent-generated
