reserved word.

70f3685105 o Change the API and ABI of the Extended Attribute kernel interfaces to
introduce a new argument, "namespace", rather than relying on a first-
  character namespace indicator.  This is in line with more recent
  thinking on EA interfaces on various mailing lists, including the
  posix1e, Linux acl-devel, and trustedbsd-discuss forums.  Two namespaces
  are defined by default, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM and
  EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, where the primary distinction lies in the
  access control model: user EAs are accessible based on the normal
  MAC and DAC file/directory protections, and system attributes are
  limited to kernel-originated or appropriately privileged userland
  requests.

o These API changes occur at several levels: the namespace argument is
  introduced in the extattr_{get,set}_file() system call interfaces,
  at the vnode operation level in the vop_{get,set}extattr() interfaces,
  and in the UFS extended attribute implementation.  Changes are also
  introduced in the VFS extattrctl() interface (system call, VFS,
  and UFS implementation), where the arguments are modified to include
  a namespace field, as well as modified to advoid direct access to
  userspace variables from below the VFS layer (in the style of recent
  changes to mount by adrian@FreeBSD.org).  This required some cleanup
  and bug fixing regarding VFS locks and the VFS interface, as a vnode
  pointer may now be optionally submitted to the VFS_EXTATTRCTL()
  call.  Updated documentation for the VFS interface will be committed
  shortly.

o In the near future, the auto-starting feature will be updated to
  search two sub-directories to the ".attribute" directory in appropriate
  file systems: "user" and "system" to locate attributes intended for
  those namespaces, as the single filename is no longer sufficient
  to indicate what namespace the attribute is intended for.  Until this
  is committed, all attributes auto-started by UFS will be placed in
  the EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM namespace.

o The default POSIX.1e attribute names for ACLs and Capabilities have
  been updated to no longer include the '$' in their filename.  As such,
  if you're using these features, you'll need to rename the attribute
  backing files to the same names without '$' symbols in front.

o Note that these changes will require changes in userland, which will
  be committed shortly.  These include modifications to the extended
  attribute utilities, as well as to libutil for new namespace
  string conversion routines.  Once the matching userland changes are
  committed, a buildworld is recommended to update all the necessary
  include files and verify that the kernel and userland environments
  are in sync.  Note: If you do not use extended attributes (most people
  won't), upgrading is not imperative although since the system call
  API has changed, the new userland extended attribute code will no longer
  compile with old include files.

o Couple of minor cleanups while I'm there: make more code compilation
  conditional on FFS_EXTATTR, which should recover a bit of space on
  kernels running without EA's, as well as update copyright dates.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

936524aa02 Implement a low-memory deadlock solution.
Removed most of the hacks that were trying to deal with low-memory
    situations prior to now.

    The new code is based on the concept that I/O must be able to function in
    a low memory situation.  All major modules related to I/O (except
    networking) have been adjusted to allow allocation out of the system
    reserve memory pool.  These modules now detect a low memory situation but
    rather then block they instead continue to operate, then return resources
    to the memory pool instead of cache them or leave them wired.

    Code has been added to stall in a low-memory situation prior to a vnode
    being locked.

    Thus situations where a process blocks in a low-memory condition while
    holding a locked vnode have been reduced to near nothing.  Not only will
    I/O continue to operate, but many prior deadlock conditions simply no
    longer exist.

Implement a number of VFS/BIO fixes

	(found by Ian): in biodone(), bogus-page replacement code, the loop
        was not properly incrementing loop variables prior to a continue
        statement.  We do not believe this code can be hit anyway but we
        aren't taking any chances.  We'll turn the whole section into a
        panic (as it already is in brelse()) after the release is rolled.

	In biodone(), the foff calculation was incorrectly
        clamped to the iosize, causing the wrong foff to be calculated
        for pages in the case of an I/O error or biodone() called without
        initiating I/O.  The problem always caused a panic before.  Now it
        doesn't.  The problem is mainly an issue with NFS.

	Fixed casts for ~PAGE_MASK.  This code worked properly before only
        because the calculations use signed arithmatic.  Better to properly
        extend PAGE_MASK first before inverting it for the 64 bit masking
        op.

	In brelse(), the bogus_page fixup code was improperly throwing
        away the original contents of 'm' when it did the j-loop to
        fix the bogus pages.  The result was that it would potentially
        invalidate parts of the *WRONG* page(!), leading to corruption.

	There may still be cases where a background bitmap write is
        being duplicated, causing potential corruption.  We have identified
        a potentially serious bug related to this but the fix is still TBD.
        So instead this patch contains a KASSERT to detect the problem
  	and panic the machine rather then continue to corrupt the filesystem.
	The problem does not occur very often..  it is very hard to
	reproduce, and it may or may not be the cause of the corruption
	people have reported.

9b97113391 This patch corrects the first round of panics and hangs reported
with the new snapshot code.

Update addaliasu to correctly implement the semantics of the old
checkalias function. When a device vnode first comes into existence,
check to see if an anonymous vnode for the same device was created
at boot time by bdevvp(). If so, adopt the bdevvp vnode rather than
creating a new vnode for the device. This corrects a problem which
caused the kernel to panic when taking a snapshot of the root
filesystem.

Change the calling convention of vn_write_suspend_wait() to be the
same as vn_start_write().

Split out softdep_flushworklist() from softdep_flushfiles() so that
it can be used to clear the work queue when suspending filesystem
operations.

Access to buffers becomes recursive so that snapshots can recursively
traverse their indirect blocks using ffs_copyonwrite() when checking
for the need for copy on write when flushing one of their own indirect
blocks. This eliminates a deadlock between the syncer daemon and a
process taking a snapshot.

Ensure that softdep_process_worklist() can never block because of a
snapshot being taken. This eliminates a problem with buffer starvation.

Cleanup change in ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when
MNT_WAIT was specified. The result was an unclean filesystem panic
when doing forcible unmount with heavy filesystem I/O in progress.

Return a zero'ed block when reading a block that was not in use at
the time that a snapshot was taken. Normally, these blocks should
never be read. However, the readahead code will occationally read
them which can cause unexpected behavior.

Clean up the debugging code that ensures that no blocks be written
on a filesystem while it is suspended. Snapshots must explicitly
label the blocks that they are writing during the suspension so that
they do not cause a `write on suspended filesystem' panic.

Reorganize ffs_copyonwrite() to eliminate a deadlock and also to
prevent a race condition that would permit the same block to be
copied twice. This change eliminates an unexpected soft updates
inconsistency in fsck caused by the double allocation.

Use bqrelse rather than brelse for buffers that will be needed
soon again by the snapshot code. This improves snapshot performance.

f2a2857bb3 Add snapshots to the fast filesystem. Most of the changes support
the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.

Details on the use and current status of snapshots in FFS can be
found in /sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot so for brevity and timelyness
is not included here. Unless and until you create a snapshot file,
these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).

e6796b67d9 Move the truncation code out of vn_open and into the open system call
after the acquisition of any advisory locks. This fix corrects a case
in which a process tries to open a file with a non-blocking exclusive
lock. Even if it fails to get the lock it would still truncate the
file even though its open failed. With this change, the truncation
is done only after the lock is successfully acquired.

e4649cfac3 Change the write-behind code to take more care when starting
async I/O's.  The sequential read heuristic has been extended to
    cover writes as well.  We continue to call cluster_write() normally,
    thus blocks in the file will still be reallocated for large (but still
    random) I/O's, but I/O will only be initiated for truely sequential
    writes.

    This solves a number of annoying situations, especially with DBM (hash
    method) writes, and also has the side effect of fixing a number of
    (stupid) benchmarks.

far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for

	fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided.  Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.

ad8ac923fa These changes appear to give us benefits with both small (32MB) and
large (1G) memory machine configurations.  I was able to run 'dbench 32'
on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt.

    * buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated.  This will
      have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and
      will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems.

    * minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit().  I noticed that
      all the calls to it used constant arguments.  Making
      it an inline allows the constants to propogate to
      deeper inlines and should produce better code.

    * removal of inherent vfs_ioopt support through the emplacement
      of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission.  If we do not
      find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely.

    * removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer
      necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal.

    * buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized
      to vfs_bio.c

    * VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added
      ( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty
      buffers are present in the system.

    * removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary
      now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers.

    * slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason
      to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers.

    * addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite().
      vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas
      in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the
      offset of the buffer passed to it.  This will probably not
      make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start
      to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift
      some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual
      I/O initiation.

    * Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk
      added.  They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already
      been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call
      to getnewbuf().  getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance
      of it being misused by other modules.  ( Unless Kirk can think
      of a specific thing that this code fixes.  I went through it
      very carefully and didn't see anything ).

    * removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues().  I do not
      think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly
      whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ).

    * removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not
      necessary.

    * missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in
      vfs_cluster.c

    * vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode,
      which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load
      situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able
      to operate more efficiently.

    * removal of b_usecount.  We may add it back in later but for now
      it is useless.  Prior implementations of the buffer cache never
      had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations
      which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to
      the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount.
      Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things
      are VMIO backed.  I expect that (even though John will not like
      this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

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...

f711d546d2 Suser() simplification:
1:
  s/suser/suser_xxx/

2:
  Add new function: suser(struct proc *), prototyped in <sys/proc.h>.

3:
  s/suser_xxx(\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)->p_ucred, \&\1->p_acflag)/suser(\1)/

The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.

There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left
as an exercise for Bruce.

More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.

f78fd73fa6 Address several problems in vn_read and vn_write:
1. Make read-ahead work for pread and aio_read.

2. Fix one place where a comparison of uio_offset with -1
   wasn't updated to use FOF_OFFSET.

3. Honor O_APPEND in the FOF_OFFSET case.

In addition, use the variable name "ioflag" in both vn_read and
vn_write to avoid possible confusion between the variable "flag"
and the parameter "flags".

8fe387ab84 Add standard padding argument to pread and pwrite syscall. That should make them
NetBSD compatible.

Add parameter to fo_read and fo_write. (The only flag FOF_OFFSET mean that
the offset is set in the struct uio).

Factor out some common code from read/pread/write/pwrite syscalls.

cde9bc877b Changed vn_read/write such that fp->f_offset isn't touched
if uio->uio_offset != -1.  This fixes a problem with aio_read/write
and permits a straightforward implementation of pread/pwrite.
