file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.
The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.
The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.
We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.

These functions only apply to utmp(5). They cannot be kept intact when
moving towards utmpx. The login(3) function would break, because its
argument is an utmp structure. The logout(3) and logwtmp(3) functions
cannot be used, since they provide a functionality which partially
overlaps.

There are several reasons why it didn't work:
- It was missing <sys/cdefs.h> for __BEGIN_DECLS.
- It uses various primitive types that were not declared.
quotactl(2) interface and inactive quotas by accessing the quota
files directly.
Update the edquota program to use this new interface as proof of
concept.
This changes struct kinfo_filedesc and kinfo_vmentry such that they are
same on both 32 and 64 bit platforms like i386/amd64 and won't require
sysctl wrapping.
Two new OIDs are assigned. The old ones are available under
COMPAT_FREEBSD7 - but it isn't that simple. The superceded interface
was never actually released on 7.x.
The other main change is to pack the data passed to userland via the
sysctl. kf_structsize and kve_structsize are reduced for the copyout.
If you have a process with 100,000+ sockets open, the unpacked records
require a 132MB+ copyout. With packing, it is "only" ~35MB. (Still
seriously unpleasant, but not quite as devastating). A similar problem
exists for the vmentry structure - have lots and lots of shared libraries
and small mmaps and its copyout gets expensive too.
My immediate problem is valgrind. It traditionally achieves this
functionality by parsing procfs output, in a packed format. Secondly, when
tracing 32 bit binaries on amd64 under valgrind, it uses a cross compiled
32 bit binary which ran directly into the differing data structures in 32
vs 64 bit mode. (valgrind uses this to track file descriptor operations
and this therefore affected every single 32 bit binary)
I've added two utility functions to libutil to unpack the structures into
a fixed record length and to make it a little more convenient to use.

- gr_equal()
Perform a deep comparison of two struct grp's. It does a thorough, yet
unoptimized comparison of all the members regardless of order.
- gr_make()
Create a string (see group(5)) from a struct grp.
- gr_dup()
Duplicate a struct grp. Returns a value that is a single contiguous
block of memory.
- gr_scan()
Create a struct grp from a string (as produced by gr_make()).
