This effectively provides the same benefit as applying MADV_FREE inline
upon every execve, since the page daemon invokes lowmem handlers prior to
scanning the inactive queue. It also has less overhead; the cost of
applying MADV_FREE is very noticeable on many-CPU systems since it includes
that of a TLB shootdown of global PTEs. For instance, this change nearly
halves the system CPU usage during a buildkernel on a 128-vCPU EC2
instance (with some other patches applied).

After the include headers reordering in r311345, we have sys/ptrace.h

If COMPAT_43 was requested in the kernel config, the result is that

COMPAT_43 and uses osigset_t.
Fix this by explicitely including opt_compat.h to cover the whole

Upon each execve, we allocate a KVA range for use in copying data to the
new image. Pages must be faulted into the range, and when the range is
freed, the backing pages are freed and their mappings are destroyed. This
is a lot of needless overhead, and the exec_map management becomes a
bottleneck when many CPUs are executing execve concurrently. Moreover, the
number of available ranges is fixed at 16, which is insufficient on large
systems and potentially excessive on 32-bit systems.
The new allocator reduces overhead by making exec_map allocations
persistent. When a range is freed, pages backing the range are marked clean
and made easy to reclaim. With this change, the exec_map is sized based on
the number of CPUs.

ptrace() now stores a mask of optional events in p_ptevents. Currently
this mask is a single integer, but it can be expanded into an array of
integers in the future.
Two new ptrace requests can be used to manipulate the event mask:
PT_GET_EVENT_MASK fetches the current event mask and PT_SET_EVENT_MASK
sets the current event mask.
The current set of events include:
- PTRACE_EXEC: trace calls to execve().
- PTRACE_SCE: trace system call entries.
- PTRACE_SCX: trace syscam call exits.
- PTRACE_FORK: trace forks and auto-attach to new child processes.
- PTRACE_LWP: trace LWP events.
The S_PT_SCX and S_PT_SCE events in the procfs p_stops flags have
been replaced by PTRACE_SCE and PTRACE_SCX. PTRACE_FORK replaces
P_FOLLOW_FORK and PTRACE_LWP replaces P2_LWP_EVENTS.
The PT_FOLLOW_FORK and PT_LWP_EVENTS ptrace requests remain for
compatibility but now simply toggle corresponding flags in the
event mask.
While here, document that PT_SYSCALL, PT_TO_SCE, and PT_TO_SCX both
modify the event mask and continue the traced process.

exiting (NOTE_EXIT->knlist_remove_inevent()), two things happen:
- knote kn_knlist pointer is reset
- INFLUX knote is removed from the process knlist.
And, there are two consequences:
- KN_LIST_UNLOCK() on such knote is nop
- there is nothing which would block exit1() from processing past the
knlist_destroy() (and knlist_destroy() resets knlist lock pointers).
Both consequences result either in leaked process lock, or
dereferencing NULL function pointers for locking.
Handle this by stopping embedding the process knlist into struct proc.
Instead, the knlist is allocated together with struct proc, but marked
as autodestroy on the zombie reap, by knlist_detach() function. The
knlist is freed when last kevent is removed from the list, in
particular, at the zombie reap time if the list is empty. As result,
the knlist_remove_inevent() is no longer needed and removed.
Other changes:
In filt_procattach(), clear NOTE_EXEC and NOTE_FORK desired events
from kn_sfflags for knote registered by kernel to only get NOTE_CHILD
notifications. The flags leak resulted in excessive
NOTE_EXEC/NOTE_FORK reports.
Fix immediate note activation in filt_procattach(). Condition should
be either the immediate CHILD_NOTE activation, or immediate NOTE_EXIT
report for the exiting process.
In knote_fork(), do not perform racy check for KN_INFLUX before kq
lock is taken. Besides being racy, it did not accounted for notes
just added by scan (KN_SCAN).

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.

This fix is spiritually similar to r287442 and was discovered thanks to
the KASSERT added in that revision.
NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' vm map
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move during coredump, this is racy.
We do not remove the race, only prevent it from causing coredump
corruption.
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_vmmapinfo, to allow users to disable
kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_VMMAP notes. This avoids VMMAP corruption
and truncation, even if names change, at the cost of up to PATH_MAX
bytes per mapped object. The new sysctl is documented in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_vmmap to self-limit in the second pass. This
addresses corruption, at the cost of sometimes producing a truncated
result.
- Fix PROCSTAT_VMMAP consumers libutil (and libprocstat, via copy-paste)

Summary:
In a runtime that is purely based on capability-based security, there is
a strong emphasis on how programs start their execution. We need to make
sure that we execute an new program with an exact set of file
descriptors, ensuring that credentials are not leaked into the process
accidentally.
Providing the right file descriptors is just half the problem. There
also needs to be a framework in place that gives meaning to these file
descriptors. How does a CloudABI mail server know which of the file
descriptors corresponds to the socket that receives incoming emails?
Furthermore, how will this mail server acquire its configuration
parameters, as it cannot open a configuration file from a global path on
disk?
CloudABI solves this problem by replacing traditional string command
line arguments by tree-like data structure consisting of scalars,
sequences and mappings (similar to YAML/JSON). In this structure, file
descriptors are treated as a first-class citizen. When calling exec(),
file descriptors are passed on to the new executable if and only if they
are referenced from this tree structure. See the cloudabi-run(1) man
page for more details and examples (sysutils/cloudabi-utils).
Fortunately, the kernel does not need to care about this tree structure
at all. The C library is responsible for serializing and deserializing,
but also for extracting the list of referenced file descriptors. The
system call only receives a copy of the serialized data and a layout of
what the new file descriptor table should look like:
int proc_exec(int execfd, const void *data, size_t datalen, const int *fds,
size_t fdslen);
This change introduces a set of fd*_remapped() functions:
- fdcopy_remapped() pulls a copy of a file descriptor table, remapping
all of the file descriptors according to the provided mapping table.
- fdinstall_remapped() replaces the file descriptor table of the process
by the copy created by fdcopy_remapped().
- fdescfree_remapped() frees the table in case we aborted before
fdinstall_remapped().
We then add a function exec_copyin_data_fds() that builds on top these
functions. It copies in the data and constructs a new remapped file
descriptor. This is used by cloudabi_sys_proc_exec().
Test Plan:
cloudabi-run(1) is capable of spawning processes successfully, providing
it data and file descriptors. procstat -f seems to confirm all is good.
Regular FreeBSD processes also work properly.
