10b1416d2f Update the documentation for setpgrp(2) to reflect the access control
checks that the code actually performs.  Judging from the 4.2BSD
release notes, the docs have only been out of date for 20 years.

ccfddc1cce Clarify the behavior of ptrace(2) a little bit: the tracing process
must first attach to the traced process.  If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued.  For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors).  It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time.  When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace().  Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

ffe40c80ea In the !MNT_BYFSID case, return EINVAL from unmount(2) when the
specified directory is not found in the mount list. Before the
MNT_BYFSID changes, unmount(2) used to return ENOENT for a nonexistent
path and EINVAL for a non-mountpoint, but we can no longer distinguish
between these cases. Of the two error codes, EINVAL was more likely
to occur in practice, and it was the only one of the two that was
documented.

Update the manual page to match the current behaviour.

abd498aa71 Add the mlockall() and munlockall() system calls.
- All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are*
   necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for
   mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from
   linking to this API (suggested by mux)
 - Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as
   the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c.
 - Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
   to express their intention explicitly.
 - Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
   Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
 - The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
   This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
   page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.
 - Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly
   (tested with WITNESS, MUTEX_PROFILING, INVARIANTS and DIAGNOSTIC).

55e24f6e77 Document an additional error return value. The connect(2) call can also
return EACCES on non-Unix domain sockets as demonstrated by the
following program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	struct sockaddr_in rem_addr;
	int sock;

	if ((sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
		perror("socket");
		exit(1);
	}

	bzero((char *)&rem_addr, sizeof(rem_addr));
	rem_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
	rem_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_NONE;
	rem_addr.sin_port = htons(10000);

	if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&rem_addr,
sizeof(rem_addr)) < 0) {
		perror("connect");
		exit(1);
	}
}

The call chain returning this value is probably:

kern/uipc_syscalls.c:connect
kern/uipc_socket.c:soconnect
netinet/tcp_usrreq.c:tcp_usr_connect
netinet/tcp_output.c:tcp_output

318f2fb4bf Add a new mount flag MNT_BYFSID that can be used to unmount a file
system by specifying the file system ID instead of a path. Use this
by default in umount(8). This avoids the need to perform any vnode
operations to look up the mount point, so it makes it possible to
unmount a file system whose root vnode cannot be looked up (e.g.
due to a dead NFS server, or a file system that has become detached
from the hierarchy because an underlying file system was unmounted).
It also provides an unambiguous way to specify which file system is
to be unmunted.

Since the ability to unmount using a path name is retained only for
compatibility, that case now just uses a simple string comparison
of the supplied path against f_mntonname of each mounted file system.
