would sometimes prevent a dirty page from being cleaned, even when synced,
resulting in the dirty page being re-flushed to disk every 30-60 seconds or
so, forever. The problem is that when the filesystem flushes a page to
its backing file it typically does not clear dirty bits representing areas
of the page that are beyond the file EOF. If the file is also mmap()'d and
a fault is taken, vm_fault (properly, is required to) set the vm_page_t->dirty
bits to VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL. This combination could leave us with an uncleanable,
unfreeable page.
The solution is to have the vnode_pager detect the edge case and manually
clear the dirty bits representing areas beyond the file EOF. The filesystem
does the rest and the page comes up clean after the write completes.

instruction. Stefan Keller <dres@earth.serd.org> noticed that CPU
identification was broken when compiled with -O2, and tracked it
down to the asm statement, which was storing values into memory
without specifying that memory was modified. He submitted a patch
which added "memory" as a clobber, but I refined it further to
arrive at this version.

be set. We need to check isr.w before isr.r so that we can correctly
handle a cmpxchg to a copy-on-write page.
This fixes the hang-after-fork problem for dynamically linked programs.
This stops panics on unloading modules which define their own sysctl sets.
However, this also removes the protection against somebody actually
defining a static sysctl with an oid in the range of the dynamic ones,
which would break badly if there is already a dynamic sysctl with
the requested oid.
Apparently, the algorithm for removing sysctl sets needs a bit more work.
For the present, the panic I introduced only leads to Bad Things (tm).

Pointy hat to: roam (myself) for not testing rev. 1.112 enough.
- Add proc locking to the jail() syscall. This mostly involved shuffling
a few things around so that blockable things like malloc and copyin
were performed before acquiring the lock and checking the existing
ucred and then updating the ucred as one "atomic" change under the proc
lock.
- crhold() returns a reference to the ucred whose refcount it bumps.
- crcopy() now simply copies the credentials from one credential to
another and has no return value.
- a new crshared() primitive is added which returns true if a ucred's
refcount is > 1 and false (0) otherwise.
C calling conventions. This allows crt1.c to be written nearly without
any inline assembler.

existing devices (e.g.: tunX). This may need a little more thought.
Create a /dev/netX alias for devices. net0 is reserved.
Allow wiring of net aliases in /boot/device.hints of the form:
hint.net.1.dev="lo0"
hint.net.12.ether="00:a0:c9:c9:9d:63"
for initializing the parts. Since I don't have any of these parts in
any of my working laptops, I'm committing this to allow people to test
it. Will MFC when I receive reports of it working.
a single kern.security.seeotheruids_permitted, describes as:
"Unprivileged processes may see subjects/objects with different real uid"
NOTE: kern.ps_showallprocs exists in -STABLE, and therefore there is
an API change. kern.ipc.showallsockets does not.
- Check kern.security.seeotheruids_permitted in cr_cansee().
- Replace visibility calls to socheckuid() with cr_cansee() (retain
the change to socheckuid() in ipfw, where it is used for rule-matching).
- Remove prison_unpcb() and make use of cr_cansee() against the UNIX
domain socket credential instead of comparing root vnodes for the
UDS and the process. This allows multiple jails to share the same
chroot() and not see each others UNIX domain sockets.
- Remove unused socheckproc().
Now that cr_cansee() is used universally for socket visibility, a variety
of policies are more consistently enforced, including uid-based
restrictions and jail-based restrictions. This also better-supports
the introduction of additional MAC models.
