- DTrace scripts to check for errors, performance, ...
they serve mostly as examples of what you can do with the static probe;s
with moderate load the scripts may be overwhelmed, excessive lock-tracing
may influence program behavior (see the last design decission)
Design decissions:
- use "linuxulator" as the provider for the native bitsize; add the
bitsize for the non-native emulation (e.g. "linuxuator32" on amd64)
- Add probes only for locks which are acquired in one function and released
in another function. Locks which are aquired and released in the same
function should be easy to pair in the code, inter-function
locking is more easy to verify in DTrace.
- Probes for locks should be fired after locking and before releasing to
prevent races (to provide data/function stability in DTrace, see the
man-page of "dtrace -v ..." and the corresponding DTrace docs).
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

kern.ngroups+1. kern.ngroups can range from NGROUPS_MAX=1023 to

should be sufficient for most applications.

NGROUPS_MAX, eliminate ABI dependencies on them, and raise the to 1024
and 1023 respectively. (Previously they were equal, but under a close
reading of POSIX, NGROUPS_MAX was defined to be too large by 1 since it
is the number of supplemental groups, not total number of groups.)
The bulk of the change consists of converting the struct ucred member
cr_groups from a static array to a pointer. Do the equivalent in
kinfo_proc.
Introduce new interfaces crcopysafe() and crsetgroups() for duplicating
a process credential before modifying it and for setting group lists
respectively. Both interfaces take care for the details of allocating
groups array. crsetgroups() takes care of truncating the group list
to the current maximum (NGROUPS) if necessary. In the future,
crsetgroups() may be responsible for insuring invariants such as sorting
the supplemental groups to allow groupmember() to be implemented as a
binary search.
Because we can not change struct xucred without breaking application
ABIs, we leave it alone and introduce a new XU_NGROUPS value which is
always 16 and is to be used or NGRPS as appropriate for things such as
NFS which need to use no more than 16 groups. When feasible, truncate
the group list rather than generating an error.
Minor changes:
- Reduce the number of hand rolled versions of groupmember().
- Do not assign to both cr_gid and cr_groups[0].
- Modify ipfw to cache ucreds instead of part of their contents since
they are immutable once referenced by more than one entity.

some cases, move to priv_check() if it was an operation on a thread and
no other flags were present.
Eliminate caller-side jail exception checking (also now-unused); jail
privilege exception code now goes solely in kern_jail.c.
We can't yet eliminate suser() due to some cases in the KAME code where
a privilege check is performed and then used in many different deferred
paths. Do, however, move those prototypes to priv.h.

size pointers than we use natively:
- declare certain structure members as l_uintptr_t and use the new PTRIN
and PTROUT macros to convert to and from native pointers.
- declare some structures __packed on amd64 when the layout would differ
from that used on i386.
- include <machine/../linux32/linux.h> instead of <machine/../linux/linux.h>

32-bit and 64-bit Linux emulation support can coexist in the same kernel.

This should be a no-op on i386 and Alpha.

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.

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
