Move the 5 or so identical instances of ELF_RTLD_ADDR() into imgact_elf.c.
Supply an ia32_fixlimits function. Export the clip/default values to
sysctl under the compat.ia32 heirarchy.
Have mmap(0, ...) respect the current p->p_limits[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_max
value rather than the sysctl tweakable variable. This allows mmap to
place mappings at sensible locations when limits have been reduced.
Have the imgact_elf.c ld-elf.so.1 placement algorithm use the same
method as mmap(0, ...) now does.
Note that we cannot remove all references to the sysctl tweakable
maxdsiz etc variables because /etc/login.conf specifies a datasize
of 'unlimited'. And that causes exec etc to fail since it can no
longer find space to mmap things.
(1) Permit userland applications to request a change of label atomic
with an execve() via mac_execve(). This is required for the
SEBSD port of SELinux/FLASK. Attempts to invoke this without
MAC compiled in result in ENOSYS, as with all other MAC system
calls. Complexity, if desired, is present in policy modules,
rather than the framework.
(2) Permit policies to have access to both the label of the vnode
being executed as well as the interpreter if it's a shell
script or related UNIX nonsense. Because we can't hold both
vnode locks at the same time, cache the interpreter label.
SEBSD relies on this because it supports secure transitioning
via shell script executables. Other policies might want to
take both labels into account during an integrity or
confidentiality decision at execve()-time.

describes an image activation instance. Instead, make use of the
existing fname structure entry, and introduce two new entries,
userspace_argv, and userspace_envv. With the addition of
mac_execve(), this divorces the image structure from the specifics
of the execve() system call, removes a redundant pointer, etc.
No semantic change from current behavior, but it means that the
structure doesn't depend on syscalls.master-generated includes.
There seems to be some redundant initialization of imgact entries,
which I have maintained, but which could probably use some cleaning
up at some point.

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.

- 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.

handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.
Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

- Change sysctl_out_proc() to require that the process is locked when it
is called and to drop the lock before it returns. If this proves too
complex we can change sysctl_out_proc() to simply acquire the lock at
the very end and have the calling code drop the lock right after it
returns.
- Lock the process we are going to export before the p_cansee() in the
loop in sysctl_kern_proc() and hold the lock until we call
sysctl_out_proc().
- Don't call p_cansee() on the process about to be exported twice in
the aforementioned loop.
this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main

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.
