For this to work, vinum has to be loaded early (e. g. from
boot/loader), for obvious reasons. If the kernel env variable
(aka. loader variable) "vinum.autostart" is set, vinum then asks the
sysctl kern.disks for all available disks in the system, and scans
them for possible vinum headers.
For statically compiled kernels, this behaviour can be obtained even
without boot/loader by using "options VINUM_AUTOSTART" (though this is
not the recommended way).
Alternatively, the 4.x way to specify "vinum.drives" is also supported.
No further hacks (like the 4.x "vinum.root" variable) are needed,
since in 5.x, mountroot() asks back at the drivers to have them
resolve the name of the root FS into a dev_t (using the dev_clone
eventhandler).

options do. Comments should be in NOTES and having the comments in two
places usually means that one place will just bitrot. Thus, remove the
comment for KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL from the previous revision.
Requested by: bde
operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled
asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events
to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by
the new ktrace_lock.
There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various
ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the
end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of
the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the
thread triggering the event.
Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a
ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace
worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are
still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests
from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a
synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put
the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread.
The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue.
When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up
the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a
later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the
synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the
synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread
back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work.
Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep()
and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few
locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the
vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means
that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered.
Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool
and returned to the pool after a request is serviced.
The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an
i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the
KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the
kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the
kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl.
If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is
printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only
printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl.
I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted
by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory.
Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace
vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose
to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently
the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is
a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first
argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer.
Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a
process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now
per-thread instead of process-wide.

The correct behaviour if the GPT class would be to back-off (reject)

- In the case of trying to lock a mutex, if the MTX_CONTESTED flag is set,
then we can safely read the thread pointer from the mtx_lock member while
holding sched_lock. We then examine the thread to see if it is currently
executing on another CPU. If it is, then we keep looping instead of
blocking.
- In the case of trying to unlock a mutex, it is now possible for a mutex
to have MTX_CONTESTED set in mtx_lock but to not have any threads
actually blocked on it, so we need to handle that case. In that case,
we just release the lock as if MTX_CONTESTED was not set and return.

- Remove KTR_EXTEND. This changes the format of the trace entries when

- Use get_cyclecount() for timestamps. nanotime() is much too heavy weight
and requires recursion protection due to ktr traces occuring as a result
of ktr traces. KTR_VERBOSE may still require recursion protection, which
is now conditional on it.
- Allow KTR_CPU to be overridden by MD code. This is so that it is possible
to trace early in startup before pcpu and/or curthread are setup.
- Add a version number for the ktr interface. A userland tool can check this
to detect mismatches.
- Use an array for the parameters to make decoding in userland easier.
- Add file and line recording to the non-extended traces now that the extended

These changes will break gdb macros to decode the extended version of the

determine the rate at which the machine is generating packets, since the
default behaviour is to increment a counter for each packet sent.

implementation is still experimental, and while fairly broadly tested,
is not yet intended for production use. Support for POSIX.1e ACLs on
UFS will not be MFC'd to RELENG_4.
This implementation works by providing implementations of VOP_[GS]ETACL()
for FFS, as well as modifying the appropriate access control and file
creation routines. In this implementation, ACLs are backed into extended
attributes; the base ACL (owner, group, other) permissions remain in the
inode for performance and compatibility reasons, so only the extended and
default ACLs are placed in extended attributes. The logic for ACL
evaluation is provided by the fs-independent kern/kern_acl.c.
o Introduce UFS_ACL, a compile-time configuration option that enables
support for ACLs on FFS (and potentially other UFS-based file systems).
o Introduce ufs_getacl(), ufs_setacl(), ufs_aclcheck(), which
respectively get, set, and check the ACLs on the passed vnode.
o Introduce ufs_sync_acl_from_inode(), ufs_sync_inode_from_acl() to
maintain access control information between inode permissions and
extended attribute data.
o Modify ufs_access() to load a file access ACL and invoke
vaccess_acl_posix1e() if ACLs are available on the file system
o Modify ufs_mkdir() and ufs_makeinode() to associate ACLs with newly
created directories and files, inheriting from the parent directory's
default ACL.
o Enable these new vnode operations and conditionally compiled code
paths if UFS_ACL is defined.
A few notes:
o This implementation is fairly widely tested, but still should be
considered experimental.
o Currently, ACLs are not exported via NFS, instead, the summarizing
file mode/etc from the inode is. This results in conservative
protection behavior, similar to the behavior of ACL-nonaware programs
acting locally.
o It is possible that underlying binary data formats associated with
this implementation may change. Consumers of the implementation
should expect to find their local configuration obsoleted in the
next few months, resulting in possible loss of ACL data during an
upgrade.
o The extended attributes interface and implementation is still
undergoing modification to address portable interface concerns, as
well as performance.
o Many applications do not yet correctly handle ACLs. In general,
due to the POSIX.1e ACL model, behavior of ACL-unaware applications
will be conservative with respects to file protection; some caution
is recommended.
o Instructions for configuring and maintaining ACLs on UFS will be
committed in the near future; in the mean time it is possible to
reference the README included in the last UFS ACL distribution
placed in the TrustedBSD web site:
http://www.TrustedBSD.org/downloads/

options UFS_EXTATTR and UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART respectively. This change
reflects the fact that our EA support is implemented entirely at the
UFS layer (modulo FFS start/stop/autostart hooks for mount and unmount
events). This also better reflects the fact that [shortly] MFS will also
support EAs, as well as possibly IFS.

"options FFS_EXTATTR". When extended attribute auto-starting
is enabled, FFS will scan the .attribute directory off of the
root of each file system, as it is mounted. If .attribute
exists, EA support will be started for the file system. If
there are files in the directory, FFS will attempt to start
them as attribute backing files for attributes baring the same
name. All attributes are started before access to the file
system is permitted, so this permits race-free enabling of
attributes. For attributes backing support for security
features, such as ACLs, MAC, Capabilities, this is vital, as
it prevents the file system attributes from getting out of
sync as a result of file system operations between mount-time
and the enabling of the extended attribute. The userland
extattrctl tool will still function exactly as previously.
Files must be placed directly in .attribute, which must be
directly off of the file system root: symbolic links are
not permitted. FFS_EXTATTR will continue to be able
to function without FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART for sites that do not
want/require auto-starting. If you're using the UFS_ACL code
available from www.TrustedBSD.org, using FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
is recommended.
o This support is implemented by adding an invocation of
ufs_extattr_autostart() to ffs_mountfs(). In addition,
several new supporting calls are introduced in
ufs_extattr.c:
ufs_extattr_autostart(): start EAs on the specified mount
ufs_extattr_lookup(): given a directory and filename,
return the vnode for the file.
ufs_extattr_enable_with_open(): invoke ufs_extattr_enable()
after doing the equililent of vn_open()
on the passed file.
ufs_extattr_iterate_directory(): iterate over a directory,
invoking ufs_extattr_lookup() and
ufs_extattr_enable_with_open() on each
entry.
o This feature is not widely tested, and therefore may contain
bugs, caution is advised. Several changes are in the pipeline
for this feature, including breaking out of EA namespaces into
subdirectories of .attribute (this is waiting on the updated
EA API), as well as a per-filesystem flag indicating whether
or not EAs should be auto-started. This is required because
administrators may not want .attribute auto-started on all
file systems, especially if non-administrators have write access
to the root of a file system.
