than mac_<policy>_whatever, as this shortens the names and makes the code
a bit easier to read.
When dealing with label structures, name variables 'mb', 'ml', 'mm rather
than the longer 'mac_biba', 'mac_lomac', and 'mac_mls', likewise making
the code a little easier to read.

from Mac OS X Leopard--rationalize naming for entry points to
the following general forms:
mac_<object>_<method/action>
mac_<object>_check_<method/action>
The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,
some entry point names.
All MAC policy modules will need to be recompiled, and modules
not updates as part of this commit will need to be modified to
conform to the new KPI.

some cases, move to priv_check() if it was an operation on a thread and
no other flags were present.
Eliminate caller-side jail exception checking (also now-unused); jail
privilege exception code now goes solely in kern_jail.c.
We can't yet eliminate suser() due to some cases in the KAME code where
a privilege check is performed and then used in many different deferred
paths. Do, however, move those prototypes to priv.h.

Don't perform a nested include of _label.h in mac.h, as mac.h now
describes only the user API to MAC, and _label.h defines the in-kernel
representation of MAC labels.
Remove mac.h includes from policies and MAC framework components that do
not use userspace MAC API definitions.

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.
security.mac.portacl.autoport_exempt
This sysctl exempts to bind port '0' as long as IP_PORTRANGELOW hasn't
been set on the socket. This is quite useful as it allows applications
to use automatic binding without adding overly broad rules for the
binding of port 0. This sysctl defaults to enabled.
This is a slight variation on the patch submitted by the contributor.

the sx lock was used previously because we might sleep allocating
additional memory by using auto-extending sbufs. However, we no longer
do this, instead retaining the user-submitted rule string, so mutexes
can be used instead. Annotate the reason for not using the sbuf-related
rule-to-string code with a comment.
Switch to using TAILQ_CONCAT() instead of manual list copying, as it's
O(1), reducing the rule replacement step under the mutex from O(2N) to
O(2).
Remove now uneeded vnode-related includes.

permit users and groups to bind ports for TCP or UDP, and is intended
to be combined with the recently committed support for
net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh. The policy is twiddled using
sysctl(8). To use this module, you will need to compile in MAC
support, and probably set reservedhigh to 0, then twiddle
security.mac.portacl.rules to set things as desired. This policy
module only restricts ports explicitly bound using bind(), not
implicitly bound ports where the port number is selected by the
IP stack. It appears to work properly in my local configuration,
but needs more broad testing.
A sample policy might be:
# sysctl security.mac.portacl.rules="uid:425:tcp:80,uid:425:tcp:79"
This permits uid 425 to bind TCP sockets to ports 79 and 80. Currently
no distinction is made for incoming vs. outgoing ports with TCP,
although that would probably be easy to add.
