Code analysis and runtime analysis using truss(8) indicate that the only
privileged operations performed by ntpd are adjusting system time, and
(re-)binding to privileged UDP port 123. These changes add a new mac(4)
policy module, mac_ntpd(4), which grants just those privileges to any
process running with uid 123.
This also adds a new user and group, ntpd:ntpd, (uid:gid 123:123), and makes
them the owner of the /var/db/ntp directory, so that it can be used as a
location where the non-privileged daemon can write files such as the
driftfile, and any optional logfile or stats files.
Because there are so many ways to configure ntpd, the question of how to
configure it to run without root privs can be a bit complex, so that will be
addressed in a separate commit. These changes are just what's required to
grant the limited subset of privs to ntpd, and the small change to ntpd to
prevent it from exiting with an error if running as non-root.

Plumb the %VERSREQ from Makefile.<arch> through to the rest of config(8).
We've recorded the config(8) version that we're calling "the end of
envmode and hintmode," and we'll write them out for earlier versions. Later
kernel version bumps will remove envmode/hintmode from the kernel as needed,
which is OK since the current kernel does not use them at all.
These compatibility shims really need to go away when the major version
rolls over...
Discussed with: imp
config-generated hints.c/env.c from r335998 and later are incompatible with
earlier kernels due to no longer setting envmode/hintmode. A minor bump for
this is insufficient, as matching major version with a later minor version
is still viewed as backwards-compatible.
This was an MI kernel change, soo all VERSREQ's are bumped.

Normally, we can get away with just reading the 1k buffer for the
string, since the placement of the data is generally no where near the
end of the file. However, it's possible that the string is within the
last 1k of the file, in which case the read will fail, and we'll not
produce the proper records needed for devmatch to work. By reading
using EF_SEG_READ_STRING, we automatically work around these problems
while still retaining safety.
This fix a problem with devmatch where we wouldn't load certain
modules (like ums). This didn't always happen (my tree didn't exhibit
it, while nathan's did because his optimization options were more
agressive).

This variable has been given the name "loader_env.disabled" as it's the
primary way most people will have an MD environment. This restores the
previously-default behavior of ignoring the loader(8) environment, which may
be useful for vendor distributions or other scenarios where inheriting the
loader environment may be considered a security issue or potentially
breaking of a more locked-down environment.
As the change to config(5) indicates, disabling the loader environment
should not be a choice made lightly since it may provide ACPI hints and
other useful things that the system can rely on to boot.
An UPDATING entry has been added to mention an upgrade path for those that
may have relied on the previous behavior.

The bhyve(8) exit status indicates how the VM was terminated:
0 rebooted
1 powered off
2 halted
3 triple fault
The problem is when we have wrappers around bhyve that parses the exit
error code and gets an exit(1) for an error but interprets it as "powered off".
So to mitigate this issue and makes it less error prone for third part
applications, I have added a new exit code 4 that is "exited due to an error".
For now the bhyve(8) exit status are:
0 rebooted
1 powered off
2 halted
3 triple fault
4 exited due to an error

The pnfsdskill(8) command will normally fail if there is no valid mirror
for the DS to be disabled. However, a system administrator may need to
disable a DS which does not have a valid mirror so that the nfsd threads
can be terminated. This patch adds a "-f" option to pnfsdskill(8) that
uses the kernel changes made by r336141 to implement this "forced" case
of disabling a DS.
This patch only affects the pNFS server.
The RFC 5424 spec mentions that logging FQDNs over short hostnames is
preferred. Alter this code, so that the hostname doesn't get truncated
on startup. Keep track of the length of the short hostname, so that
fprintf() can do the truncation where necessary.

r336019 introduced ${SRCTOP}/sys to the include paths in order to pull in a
new sys/{c,}nv.h. This is wrong, because the build tree's ABI isn't
guaranteed to match what's running on the host system.
Fix instead by removing -I${SRCTOP}/sys and installing the libnv headers
with `make -C lib/libnv includes`... this may or may not get re-worked in
the future so that a userland lib isn't installing includes from sys/.

r335653 flipped the order in which hints/env files are concatenated to match
the order in which vars are processed by the kernel. This is the other
hammer to drop.
Use nv(9) to de-dupe entries within a single `hint` or `env` file, using the
latest value specified for a key. This leaves some duplicates if a variable
is specified in multiple hint/env files or via `envvar` in a kernel config,
but the reversed order of concatenation (from r335653) makes this a
non-issue as the latest-specified version will be seen first.
This change also silently rewrote hint bits to use the same sanitization
process that ian@ wrote for r335642. To the kernel, hints and env vars are
basically the same thing through early boot, then get merged into the
dynamic environment once kmem becomes available and the dynamic environment
is created. They should be subjected to the same restrictions.

At the moment, hintmode and envmode are used to indicate whether static
hints or static env have been provided in the kernel config(5) and the
static versions are mutually exclusive with loader(8)-provided environment.
hintmode *can* be reconfigured later to pull from the dynamic environment,
thus taking advantage of the loader(8) or post-kmem environment setting.
This changeset fixes both problems at once to move us from a semi-confusing
state to a consistent state: if an environment file, hints file, or
loader(8) environment are provided, we use them in a well-known order of
precedence:
- loader(8) environment
- static environment
- static hints file
Once the dynamic environment is setup this becomes a moot point. The
loader(8) and static environments are merged (respecting the above order of
precedence), and the static hints are merged in on an as-needed basis after
the dynamic environment has been setup.
Hints lookup are changed to respect all of the above. Before the dynamic
environment is setup, lookups use the above-mentioned order and fallback to
the next environment if a matching hint is not found. Once the dynamic
environment is setup, that is used on its own since it captures all of the
above information plus any dynamic kenv settings that came up later in boot.
The following tangentially related changes were made to res_find:
- A hintp cookie is now passed in so that related searches continue using
the chain of environments (or dynamic environment) without relying on
global state
- All three environments will be searched if they actually have valid hints
to use, rather than just choosing the first environment that actually had
a hint and rolling with that only
The hintmode sysctl has been ripped out. static_{env,hints}.disabled are
still honored and will disable their respective environments from being used
for hint lookups and from being merged into the dynamic environment, as
expected.

For developers gensnmptree can now generate functions for enums to convert
between enums and strings and to check the validity of a value.
The sources in FreeBSD are now in sync with the upstream which allows to
bring in IPv6 modifications.
r335871 added support for an optional suffix of "#mds_path" that can be
applied to each entry in the "-p" option argument. This specifies that
the DS should be used to store files for the file system on the MDS
at "mds_path".
This patch documents this optional suffix.
This is a content change.
Without this patch, the pNFS server distributes the data storage files across
all of the specified DSs.
A tester noted that it would be nice if a system administrator could control
which DSs are used to store the file data for a given exported MDS file system.
This patch adds an optional suffix for each entry in the "-p" option argument
that specifies "store file data for this MDS file system" in this DS.
The patch should only affect sites using the pNFS server (specified via the
"-p" command line option for nfsd.
The interface between the nfsd and the kernel has changed with this patch,
so anyone using the "-p" option needs to rebuild their nfsd from sources
with this patch applied to them.

The refactoring of the syslogd code to format messages using iovecs
slightly altered the output of syslogd by placing the facility/priority
after the hostname, as opposed to printing it right before. This change

When pnfsdscopymr(8) is used to create a mirror of a file on a mirrored
pNFS service, it expects to find an entry in the extended attribute for
IP address 0.0.0.0.
This patch adds a "-m" option which can be used to create these entrie(s).
It also tightens up the checks for use of incompatible command line options.
The kernel code assumes that nfsdargs.addr == NULL and nfsdargs.addrlen == 0
when there is no "-p" argument used for starting the nfsd.
This small patch ensures this is the case. In practice, I believe this always
happened, since "nfsdargs" was the last element on the stack for "main()",
but this little patch ensures it will be the case.
Spotted by inspection while adding a new optional field for "-p".
By using INSTALL_LINK instead of calling ln during install the files
end up in the METALOG file as well if we use -DNO_ROOT and will be
included in a disk image when using makefs with METALOG as the input.
The other file that was not included in METALOG was /var/db/services.db
which is now also included for -DNO_ROOT.

As previously noted, kernel's processing of these means that the first
appearance of a hint/variable wins. Flipping the order of concatenation
means that later variables override earlier variables, as expected when one
does:
hints x
hints y
Where perhaps x is:
hint.aw_sid.0.disable=1
and y is:
hint.aw_sid.0.disable=0
The expectation would be that a later appearing variable would override an
earlier appearing variable, such as with `device`/`nodevice`, device.hints,
and other similarly structured data files.
Previously, only one 'env' file could be specified. Later 'env' directives
would overwrite earlier 'env' directives. This is inconsistent with every
other file-accepting directives which process files in order, including
hints.
A caveat applies to both hints and env that isn't mentioned: they're
concatenated in the order of appearance, so they're not actually applied in
the way one might think by supplying:
hints x
hints y
Hints in x will take precedence over same-name hints in y due to how
the kernel processes them, stopping at the first line that matches the hint
we're searching for. Future work will flip the order of concatenation so
that later files may still properly override earlier files.
In practice, this likely doesn't matter at all due to the nature of the
beast.
envvar allows adding individual environment variables to the kernel's static
environment without the overhead of pulling in a full file. envvar in a
config looks like:
envvar some_var=5
All envvar-provided variables will be added after the env file is processed,
so envvar keys that exist in the previous env will be overwritten by
whatever value is set here in the kernel configuration directly.
As an aside, envvar lines are intentionally tokenized differently from
basically every other line. We used a named state when ENVVAR is encountered
to gobble up the rest of the line, which will later be cleaned and validated
in post-processing by sanitize_envline. This turns out to be the simplest
and cleanest way to allow the flexibility that kenv does while not
compromising on silly hacks.
