Ntpd needs only a subset of full root privileges to do its job. Specifically
it needs the ability to manipulate system time, and to re-bind to a
privileged UDP port after interface changes. The mac_ntpd(4) policy module
(see r336525) can grant these privs.
These changes detect the availability of mac_ntpd(4). If enabled, and if the
ntpd configuration is fairly vanilla, it automatically runs ntpd as the
non-root user 'ntpd' (uid 123). "Vanilla" means the config doesn't include
command line or ntp.conf options changing the location of files or using any
files/dirs likely to be inaccessible to user ntpd. Ntpd can still run as
non-root when using such options, but the admin must ensure all required
files and dirs are accessible, and then set ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf.
Note that these changes also address PR 199127 by using the command_args
technique suggested in the patch. They also tangentially address PR 113552,
which is primarily about inconsistent filenames in documentation, but some
of the inconsistancy was caused by old code in rc.d/ntpd which is leftover
from the intial import from netbsd. There was code to do chroot setup which
required the use of the netbsd clockctl(4) device; that code never had any
effect on freebsd, because we lack that device and don't build ntpd with the
options that would allow using it.

When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.

Existing scripts and associated config such as rc.initdiskless, rc.d/var,
and others, use mdmfs to create memory filesystems. That program accepts a
size argument which allows SI suffixes and treats an unsuffixed number as a
count of 512 byte sectors. That makes it difficult to convert existing
scripts to use tmpfs instead of mdmfs, because tmpfs treats unsuffixed
numbers as a count of bytes. The script logic to deal with existing user
config that might include suffixed and unsuffixed numbers is... unpleasant.
Also, there is no g'tee that tmpfs will be available. It is sometimes
configured out of small-resource embedded systems to save memory and flash
storage space.
These changes enhance mdmfs(8) so that it accepts two new values for the
'md-device' arg: 'tmpfs' and 'auto'. With tmpfs, the program always uses
tmpfs(5) (and fails if it's not available). With 'auto' the program prefers
tmpfs, but falls back to using md(4) if tmpfs isn't available. It also
handles the -s <size> argument so that the mdconfig interpetation of
unsuffixed numbers applies when tmpfs is used as well, so that existing user
config keeps working after a switch to tmpfs.
A new rc setting, mfs_type, is added to etc/defaults/rc.conf to let users
force the use of tmpfs or md; the default value is "auto".

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.
