With the mac_priority(4) realtime policy active, users and processes in
the realtime group may promote existing threads and processes to
realtime scheduling priority. Extend the privileges granted to
PRIV_SCHED_SETPOLICY which allows explicit creation of new realtime
threads.
One use case of this is when the pthread scheduling policy is set to
SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO via pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(...) before
calling pthread_create(...). I ran into this when testing audio software
with realtime threads, particularly audio/ardour6.

Add an idletime user group that allows non-root users to run processes
with idle scheduling priority. Privileges are granted by a MAC policy in
the mac_priority module. For this purpose, the kernel privilege
PRIV_SCHED_IDPRIO was added to sys/priv.h (kernel module ABI change).
Deprecate the system wide sysctl(8) knob
security.bsd.unprivileged_idprio which lets any user run idle priority
processes, regardless of context. While the knob is still working, it is
marked as deprecated in the description and in the man pages.

This is a MAC policy module that grants scheduling privileges based on
group membership. Users or processes in the group realtime (gid 47) are
allowed to run threads and processes with realtime scheduling priority.
For timing-sensitive, low-latency software like audio/jack, running with
realtime priority helps to avoid stutter and gaps.

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.

When packet is a SYN packet, we don't need to modify any existing PCB.
Normally SYN arrives on a listening socket, we either create a syncache
entry or generate syncookie, but we don't modify anything with the
listening socket or associated PCB. Thus create a new PCB lookup
mode - rlock if listening. This removes the primary contention point
under SYN flood - the listening socket PCB.
Sidenote: when SYN arrives on a synchronized connection, we still
don't need write access to PCB to send a challenge ACK or just to
drop. There is only one exclusion - tcptw recycling. However,
existing entanglement of tcp_input + stacks doesn't allow to make
this change small. Consider this patch as first approach to the problem.

reasons. We might wish to relocate it in due course, but this way at least
we document the asymmetry.
pipes get stated all thet time and this avoidably contributed to contention.
The pipe lock is only held to accomodate MAC and to check the type.
Since normally there is no probe for pipe stat depessimize this by having the
flag.
The pipe_state field gets modified with locks held all the time and it's not
feasible to convert them to use atomic store. Move the type flag away to a
separate variable as a simple cleanup and to provide stable field to read.
Use short for both fields to avoid growing the struct.
While here short-circuit MAC for pipe_poll as well.

The code would unconditionally lock the vnode to audit or call the
mac hoook, even if neither want to do anything. Pre-check the state
to avoid locking in the common case of nothing to do.
Note this code should not be normally executed anyway as vnodes are
always return ready. However, poll1/2 from will-it-scale use regular
files for benchmarking, presumably to focus on the interface itself
as the vnode handler is not supposed to do almost anything.
This in particular fixes poll2 which passes 128 fds.

- thr_kill(2) and thr_exit(2) generally (no argument auditing here.

pdfork(2), pdgetpid(2) and pdkill(2)
For these syscalls, audit the file descriptor. In the case of pdfork(2)
a pointer to an integer (file descriptor) is passed in as an argument.
We audit the post initialized file descriptor (not the random garbage
that would have been passed in). We will also audit the child process
which was created from the fork operation (similar to what is done for
the fork(2) syscall).
pdkill(2) we audit the signal value and fd, and finally pdgetpid(2)

The new structure is copy-on-write. With the assumption that path lookups are
significantly more frequent than chdirs and chrooting this is a win.
This provides stable root and jail root vnodes without the need to reference
them on lookup, which in turn means less work on globally shared structures.
Note this also happens to fix a bug where jail vnode was never referenced,
meaning subsequent access on lookup could run into use-after-free.

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.

This in particular significantly shortens amd64_syscall, which otherwise
keeps jumping forward over 2KB of code in total.
Note some of these branches should be either eliminated altogether or
coalesced.
All checking routines walk a linked list of all modules in order to determine
if given hook is installed. This became a significant problem after mac_ntpd
started being loaded by default.
Implement a way perform checks for select hooks by testing a boolean.
Use it for priv_check and priv_grant, which are constantly called from priv_check.
The real fix would use hotpatching, but the above provides a way to know when
to do it.
