Allow the location of capabilities.conf to be configured.
Also allow a per-abi syscall prefix to be configured with the
abi_func_prefix syscalls.conf variable and check syscalls against
entries in capabilities.conf with and without the prefix amended.
Take advantage of these two features to allow use shared capabilities.conf
between the default syscall vector and the freebsd32 compatability
layer. We've been inconsistent about keeping the two in sync as
evidenced by the bugs fixed in r340294. This eliminates that problem

Update the return types of break, mmap, and shmat to be void * as

Modify makesyscalls.sh to strip out SAL annotations.
No functional change.
This is based on work I started in CheriBSD and use to validate fat
pointers at the syscall boundary. Tal Garfinkel reviewed the changes,
added annotations to COMPAT* syscalls and is using them in a record and
playback framework. One can envision other uses such as a WITNESS-like
validator for copyin/out as speculated on in the review.
As this time we are only annotating sys/kern/syscalls.master as that is
sufficient for userspace work. If kernel use cases materialize, we can
annotate other syscalls.master as needed.

Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

Previously, the first lines of various generated files from system call
tables were generated in two sections. Some of the initialization was
done in BEGIN, and the rest was done when the first line was encountered.
The main reason for this split before r313564 was that most of the
initialization done in the second section depended on the $FreeBSD$ tag
extracted from the system call table. Now that the $FreeBSD$ tag is no
longer used, consolidate all of the file initialization in the BEGIN
section.
This change was tested by confirming that the content of generated files
did not change.
This information is less useful when the generated files are included in
source control along with the source. If needed it can be reconstructed
from the $FreeBSD$ tag in the generated file. Removing this information
from the generated output permits committing the generated files along
with the change to the system call master list without having inconsistent
metadata in the generated files.

CloudABI is a pure capability-based runtime environment for UNIX. It
works similar to Capsicum, except that processes already run in
capabilities mode on startup. All functionality that conflicts with this
model has been omitted, making it a compact binary interface that can be
supported by other operating systems without too much effort.
CloudABI is 'secure by default'; the idea is that it should be safe to
run arbitrary third-party binaries without requiring any explicit
hardware virtualization (Bhyve) or namespace virtualization (Jails). The
rights of an application are purely determined by the set of file
descriptors that you grant it on startup.
The datatypes and constants used by CloudABI's C library (cloudlibc) are
defined in separate files called syscalldefs_mi.h (pointer size
independent) and syscalldefs_md.h (pointer size dependent). We import
these files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and wrap around them in
cloudabi*_syscalldefs.h.
We then add stubs for all of the system calls in sys/compat/cloudabi or
sys/compat/cloudabi64, depending on whether the system call depends on
the pointer size. We only have nine system calls that depend on the
pointer size. If we ever want to support 32-bit binaries, we can simply
add sys/compat/cloudabi32 and implement these nine system calls again.
The next step is to send in code reviews for the individual system call
implementations, but also add a sysentvec, to allow CloudABI executabled
to be started through execve().

in the type field of system call tables. Specifically, one can now use
the 'NO*' types as flags in addition to the 'COMPAT*' types. For example,
to tag 'COMPAT*' system calls as living in a KLD via NOSTD. The COMPAT*
type is required to be listed first in this case.
- Add new functions 'type()' and 'flag()' to the embedded awk script in
makesyscalls.sh that return true if a requested flag is found in the
type field ($3). The flag() function checks all of the flags in the
field, but type() only checks the first flag. type() is meant to be
used in the top-level "switch" statement and flag() should be used
otherwise.
- Retire the CPT_NOA type, it is now replaced with "COMPAT|NOARGS" using
the flags approach.
- Tweak the comment descriptions of COMPAT[46] system calls so that they
say "freebsd[46] foo" rather than "old foo".
- Document the COMPAT6 type.
- Sync comments in compat32 syscall table with the master table.
- Instead of using a syscall slot (370) just to get a function prototype
for lkmressys(), add an explicit function prototype to <sys/sysent.h>.
This also removes unused special case checks for 'lkmressys' from
makesyscalls.sh.
- Instead of having magic logic in makesyscalls.sh to only generate a
function prototype the first time 'lkmnosys' is seen, make 'NODEF'
always not generate a function prototype and include an explicit
prototype for 'lkmnosys' in <sys/sysent.h>.
- As a result of the fix in (2), update the LKM syscall entries in
the freebsd32 syscall table to use 'lkmnosys' rather than 'nosys'.
- Use NOPROTO for the __syscall() entry (198) in the native ABI. This
avoids the need for magic logic in makesyscalls.h to only generate
a function prototype the first time 'nosys' is encountered.
Also, change the visibility of compat syscalls a slightly. Compat
syscalls were missing from 'syscalls.h' entirely. This additionally adds
them with their compat prefix. eg: SYS_freebsd6_mmap.
Also, the syscalls.c names strings have different prefixes to differentiate
syscalls. Instead of several "old.mmap" strings, there will now be a
"compat.mmap" and "compat6.mmap" etc. Before, both would have had the
same "old.mmap" label.
