b38520f09c Fix long-standing thinko regarding maxproc accounting. Basically,
we were accounting the newly created process to its parent instead
of the child itself.  This caused problems later, when the child
changed its credentials - the per-uid, per-jail etc counters were
not properly updated, because the maxproc counter in the child
process was 0.

8451d0dd78 In order to maximize the re-usability of kernel code in user space this
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

cfb5f76865 Add experimental support for process descriptors
A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.

New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.

When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.

This feature is enabled by "options PROCDESC", but as with several other
Capsicum kernel features, is not enabled by default in GENERIC 9.0.

8e6fa660f2 Fix some locking nits with the p_state field of struct proc:
- Hold the proc lock while changing the state from PRS_NEW to PRS_NORMAL
  in fork to honor the locking requirements.  While here, expand the scope
  of the PROC_LOCK() on the new process (p2) to avoid some LORs.  Previously
  the code was locking the new child process (p2) after it had locked the
  parent process (p1).  However, when locking two processes, the safe order
  is to lock the child first, then the parent.
- Fix various places that were checking p_state against PRS_NEW without
  having the process locked to use PROC_LOCK().  Every place was already
  locking the process, just after the PRS_NEW check.
- Remove or reduce the use of PROC_SLOCK() for places that were checking
  p_state against PRS_NEW.  The PROC_LOCK() alone is sufficient for reading
  the current state.
- Reorder fill_kinfo_proc() slightly so it only acquires PROC_SLOCK() once.

d680caab73 - When disabling ktracing on a process, free any pending requests that
may be left.  This fixes a memory leak that can occur when tracing is
  disabled on a process via disabling tracing of a specific file (or if
  an I/O error occurs with the tracefile) if the process's next system
  call is exit().  The trace disabling code clears p_traceflag, so exit1()
  doesn't do any KTRACE-related cleanup leading to the leak.  I chose to
  make the free'ing of pending records synchronous rather than patching
  exit1().
- Move KTRACE-specific logic out of kern_(exec|exit|fork).c and into
  kern_ktrace.c instead.  Make ktrace_mtx private to kern_ktrace.c as a

Also, r173361 removed the caching of the kernel stacks for a non-first

some limited amount of preallocated kernel stacks to lower the latency
of thread allocation. Add vm_lowmem handler to prune the cache on

3364c323e6 Implement global and per-uid accounting of the anonymous memory. Add
rlimit RLIMIT_SWAP that limits the amount of swap that may be reserved
for the uid.

The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.

The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.

The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by
kernel, e.g. md(4).

Several syscalls, among them is fork(2), may now return ENOMEM when
global or per-uid limits are enforced.

d8b0556c6d Adapt vfs kqfilter to the shared vnode lock used by zfs write vop. Use
vnode interlock to protect the knote fields [1]. The locking assumes
that shared vnode lock is held, thus we get exclusive access to knote
either by exclusive vnode lock protection, or by shared vnode lock +
vnode interlock.

Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.

Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.

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.

21ca7b57bd Change the curvnet variable from a global const struct vnet *,
previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one.  The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE().  Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.

This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.

The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc.  Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.

The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.

This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

aeb325719a Several threads in a process may do vfork() simultaneously. Then, all

requires that at any time, all simultaneous sleepers for the channel use

Silent the assertion by using conditional variable allocated in the
child. Broadcast the variable event on exec() and exit().

413628a7e3 MFp4:
Bring in updated jail support from bz_jail branch.

This enhances the current jail implementation to permit multiple
addresses per jail. In addtion to IPv4, IPv6 is supported as well.
Due to updated checks it is even possible to have jails without
an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chroot with
restricted process view, no networking,..

SCTP support was updated and supports IPv6 in jails as well.

Cpuset support permits jails to be bound to specific processor
sets after creation.

Jails can have an unrestricted (no duplicate protection, etc.) name
in addition to the hostname. The jail name cannot be changed from
within a jail and is considered to be used for management purposes
or as audit-token in the future.

DDB 'show jails' command was added to aid debugging.

Proper compat support permits 32bit jail binaries to be used on 64bit
systems to manage jails. Also backward compatibility was preserved where
possible: for jail v1 syscalls, as well as with user space management
utilities.

Both jail as well as prison version were updated for the new features.
A gap was intentionally left as the intermediate versions had been
used by various patches floating around the last years.

Bump __FreeBSD_version for the afore mentioned and in kernel changes.

7054ee4e38 The kqueue_register() function assumes that it is called from the top of
the syscall code and acquires various event subsystem locks as needed.
The handling of the NOTE_TRACK for EVFILT_PROC is currently done by
calling the kqueue_register() from filt_proc() filter, causing recursive
entrance of the kqueue code. This results in the LORs and recursive
acquisition of the locks.

Implement the variant of the knote() function designed to only handle
the fork() event. It mostly copies the knote() body, but also handles
the NOTE_TRACK, removing the handling from the filt_proc(), where it
causes problems described above. The function is called from the fork1()
instead of knote().

When encountering NOTE_TRACK knote, it marks the knote as influx
and drops the knlist and kqueue lock. In this context call to
kqueue_register is safe from the problems.

An error from the kqueue_register() is reported to the observer as
NOTE_TRACKERR fflag.

td_startcopy section as it is not the right thing to do
in other cases (e.g. if starting a new thread from one that is already named).

e01eafef2a A bunch more files that should probably print out a thread name
instead of a process name.

89b57fcf01 Fix for the panic("vm_thread_new: kstack allocation failed") and
silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.

As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.

The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).
