check for and/or report I/O errors. The result is that a VFS_SYNC
or VOP_FSYNC called with MNT_WAIT could loop infinitely on ufs in
the presence of a hard error writing a disk sector or in a filesystem
full condition. This patch ensures that I/O errors will always be
checked and returned. This patch also ensures that every call to
VFS_SYNC or VOP_FSYNC with MNT_WAIT set checks for and takes
appropriate action when an error is returned.

to use a modified notion of 'struct mac', and flesh out the new variation
system calls (almost identical to existing ones except that they permit
a pid to be specified for process label retrieval, and don't follow
symlinks). This generalizes the label API so that the framework is
now almost entirely policy-agnostic.

locks the mount point directory while waiting for vfs_busy to clear.
Meanwhile the unmount which holds the vfs_busy lock tried to lock
the mount point vnode. The fix is to observe that it is safe for the
unmount to remove the vnode from the mount point without locking it.
The lookup will wait for the unmount to complete, then recheck the
mount point when the vfs_busy lock clears.

that works in the new threaded kernel. It was commented out of
the disksort routine earlier this year for the reasons given in

before it moved to kern/subr_disk.c):

Comment out Kirks io-request priority hack until we can do this in a
civilized way which doesn't cause grief.
The problem is that it is not generally safe to cast a "struct bio
*" to a "struct buf *". Things like ccd, vinum, ata-raid and GEOM
constructs bio's which are not entrails of a struct buf.
Also, curthread may or may not have anything to do with the I/O request
at hand.
The correct solution can either be to tag struct bio's with a
priority derived from the requesting threads nice and have disksort
act on this field, this wouldn't address the "silly-seek syndrome"
where two equal processes bang the diskheads from one edge to the
other of the disk repeatedly.
Alternatively, and probably better: a sleep should be introduced
either at the time the I/O is requested or at the time it is completed
where we can be sure to sleep in the right thread.
The sleep also needs to be in constant timeunits, 1/hz can be practicaly
any sub-second size, at high HZ the current code practically doesn't
do anything.
----------------------------
As suggested in this comment, it is no longer located in the disk sort
routine, but rather now resides in spec_strategy where the disk operations
are being queued by the thread that is associated with the process that
is really requesting the I/O. At that point, the disk queues are not
visible, so the I/O for positively niced processes is always slowed
down whether or not there is other activity on the disk.
On the issue of scaling HZ, I believe that the current scheme is
better than using a fixed quantum of time. As machines and I/O
subsystems get faster, the resolution on the clock also rises.
So, ten years from now we will be slowing things down for shorter
periods of time, but the proportional effect on the system will
be about the same as it is today. So, I view this as a feature
rather than a drawback. Hence this patch sticks with using HZ.

Instead, cast to long before the subtraction; the numbers are

Other than ia64 (which uses ELF), sparc64 uses a homegrown format for
the dumps (headers are required because the physical address and size of
the tsb must be noted, and because physical memory may be discontiguous);
ELF would not offer any advantages here.

caller to indicate that MAC checks are not required for the lookup.
Similar to IO_NOMACCHECK for vn_rdwr(), this indicates that the caller
has already performed all required protections and that this is an
internally generated operation. This will be used by the NFS server
code, as we don't currently enforce MAC protections against requests
delivered via NFS.
While here, add NOCROSSMOUNT to PARAMASK; apparently this was used at
one point for name lookup flag checking, but isn't any longer or it
would have triggered from the NFS server code passing it to indicate
that mountpoints shouldn't be crossed in lookups.

for a label change during exec. This permits SELinux to change the
label for the resulting exec without a race following a manual label
change on the process. Because this interface uses our general purpose
MAC label abstraction, we call it execve_mac(), and wrap our port of
SELinux's execve_secure() around it with appropriate sid mappings.

creation, deletion, and rename. There are one or two other stray
cases I'll catch in follow-up commits (such as unix domain socket
creation); this permits MAC policy modules to limit the ability to
perform these operations based on existing UNIX credential / vnode
attributes, extended attributes, and security labels. In the rename
case using MAC, we now have to lock the from directory and file
vnodes for the MAC check, but this is done only in the MAC case,
and the locks are immediately released so that the remainder of the
rename implementation remains the same. Because the create check
takes a vattr to know object type information, we now initialize
additional fields in the VATTR passed to VOP_SYMLINK() in the MAC
case.

The primary reason for this is to allow MD code to process machine
specific attributes, segments or sections in the ELF file and
update machine specific state accordingly. An immediate use of this
is in the ia64 port where unwind information is updated to allow
debugging and tracing in/across modules. Note that this commit
does not add the functionality to the ia64 port. See revision 1.9

Since link_elf_init() did initializations as a side-effect
of doing the common actions, keep the initialization in
that function. Consequently, link_elf_add_gdb() is now also
called to insert the very first link_map() (ie the kernel).
Move link_elf_add_gdb(), link_elf_delete_gdb() and link_elf_error()

the #ifdef DDB already present there.

we free lf and thus ef as part of the bailing-out.
