d1b06863fb Huge cleanup of random(4) code.
* GENERAL
- Update copyright.
- Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set
  neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna
- If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO
  random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will
  return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that
  always blocks.
- Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went
  through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird.
- Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little
  suspect.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
  functions to do these tasks.
- Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals.
  This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack.
- Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be
  there.
- Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some
  behind boot verbose.
- Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup.
- Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff.
- Make relevant sysctls also tunables.
- Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements
  (direct, queue, fast).
- Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for
  weighing down the FS code.
- Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for
  weighing down the allocator code.
- Fix the random(9) manpage.
- Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered
  when the dust settles.
- Use macros for locks.
- Fix comments.

* src/share/man/...

* src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.c src/sys/dev/random/randomdev_soft.h
- Remove; no longer needed.

* src/sys/dev/random/uint128.h
- Provide a fake uint128_t; if a real one ever arrived, we can use
  that instead. All that is needed here is N=0, N++, N==0, and some
  localised trickery is used to manufacture a 128-bit 0ULLL.

* src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.c src/sys/dev/random/unit_test.h
- Improve unit tests; previously the testing human needed clairvoyance;
  now the test will do a basic check of compressibility. Clairvoyant
  talent is still a good idea.
- This is still a long way off a proper unit test.

* src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.c src/sys/dev/random/fortuna.h
- Improve messy union to just uint128_t.
- Remove unneeded 'static struct fortuna_start_cache'.
- Tighten up up arithmetic.
- Provide a method to allow eternal junk to be introduced; harden
  it against blatant by compress/hashing.
- Assert that locks are held correctly.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
  functions to do these tasks.
- Turn into self-sufficient module (no longer requires randomdev_soft.[ch])

* src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.c src/sys/dev/random/yarrow.h
- Improve messy union to just uint128_t.
- Remove unneeded 'staic struct start_cache'.
- Tighten up up arithmetic.

  it against blatant by compress/hashing.
- Assert that locks are held correctly.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit

b96bd95b85 Allow the kern.osrelease and kern.osreldate sysctl values to be set in a
jail's creation parameters.  This allows the kernel version to be reliably
spoofed within the jail whether examined directly with sysctl or
indirectly with the uname -r and -K options.

The values can only be set at jail creation time, to eliminate the need
for any locking when accessing the values via sysctl.

The overridden values are inherited by nested jails (unless the config for
the nested jails also overrides the values).

There is no sanity or range checking, other than disallowing an empty
release string or a zero release date, by design.  The system
administrator is trusted to set sane values.  Setting values that are
newer than the actual running kernel will likely cause compatibility
problems.

f0188618f2 Fix multiple incorrect SYSCTL arguments in the kernel:
- Wrong integer type was specified.

- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.

- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.

- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.

- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.

- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.

- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

3da1cf1e88 Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

To reduce the diff struct pcu.cnt field was not renamed, so
PCPU_OP(cnt.field) is still used. pc_cnt and pcpu are also used in
kvm(3) and vmstat(8). The goal was to not affect externally used KPI.

fec27435ab Rename sysctl kern.supported_abis to kern.supported_archs, since it gives

Nathan Whitehorn
3cb6654d23 Add new sysctl, kern.supported_abis, containing the list of FreeBSD
MACHINE_ARCH values whose binaries this kernel can run. This patch provides
a feature requested for implementing pkgng ABI identifiers in a robust
way.

The list is designed to indicate whether, say, an i386 package can be run on
the current system. If kern.supported_abis contains "i386", then the answer
is yes. Otherwise, the answer is no.

At the moment, this only supports MACHINE_ARCH and MACHINE_ARCH32. As we
gain support for more interesting combinations, this needs to become more
flexible, possibily through the sysent framework, along with the
hw.machine_arch emulation immediately preceding this code in kern_mib.c.

ff66f6a404 Define two new sysctl node flags: CTLFLAG_CAPRD and CTLFLAG_CAPRW, which
may be jointly referenced via the mask CTLFLAG_CAPRW.  Sysctls with these
flags are available in Capsicum's capability mode; other sysctl nodes are
not.

Flag several useful sysctls as available in capability mode, such as memory
layout sysctls required by the run-time linker and malloc(3).  Also expose
access to randomness and available kernel features.

A few sysctls are enabled to support name->MIB conversion; these may leak
information to capability mode by virtue of providing resolution on names
not flagged for access in capability mode.  This is, generally, not a huge
problem, but might be something to resolve in the future.  Flag these cases
with XXX comments.

76ca6f88da Place hostnames and similar information fully under the prison system.
The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex.  Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system.  The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL.  The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.

The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

0304c73163 Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails.  Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less.  Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system.  Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().

Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings.  The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system
call.

29b02909eb Introduce a new virtualization container, provisionally named vprocg, to hold
virtualized instances of hostname and domainname, as well as a new top-level
virtualization struct vimage, which holds pointers to struct vnet and struct
vprocg.  Struct vprocg is likely to become replaced in the near future with
a new jail management API import.

As a consequence of this change, change struct ucred to point to a struct
vimage, instead of directly pointing to a vnet.

Merge vnet / vimage / ucred refcounting infrastructure from p4 / vimage
branch.

Permit kldload / kldunload operations to be executed only from the default
vimage context.

f6dfe47a14 Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance.  Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables.  As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

    options VIMAGE:          ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
    default build:           vnet_net_0._ifnet
    options VIMAGE_GLOBALS:  ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

    INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

    struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals.  If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.

4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet.  options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.

5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.

6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod.  SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

f3b86a5fd7 Mark most often used sysctl's as MPSAFE.
After running a `make buildkernel', I noticed most of the Giant locks in
sysctl are only caused by a very small amount of sysctl's:

- sysctl.name2oid. This one is locked by SYSCTL_LOCK, just like
  sysctl.oidfmt.

- kern.ident, kern.osrelease, kern.version, etc. These are just constant
  strings.

- kern.arandom, used by the stack protector. It is already protected by
  arc4_mtx.

I also saw the following sysctl's show up. Not as often as the ones
above, but still quite often:

- security.jail.jailed. Also mark security.jail.list as MPSAFE. They
  don't need locking or already use allprison_lock.

- kern.devname, used by devname(3), ttyname(3), etc.

This seems to reduce Giant locking inside sysctl by ~75% in my primitive
test setup.

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.

Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().

Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).

All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).

744b947ef8 Improve INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE support.
This change will let us to have full configuration of a running kernel
available in sysctl:

	sysctl -b kern.conftxt

The same configuration is also contained within the kernel image. It can be
obtained with:

	config -x <kernelfile>

Current functionality lets you to quickly recover kernel configuration, by
simply redirecting output from commands presented above and starting kernel
build procedure. "include" statements are also honored, which means options
and devices from included files are also included.

Please note that comments from configuration files are not preserved by
default. In order to preserve them, you can use -C flag for config(8). This
will bring configuration file and included files literally; however,
redirection to a file no longer works directly.

don't acquire the prison mutex, as it's an integer read and races
