to the kmem group. With the advent of non-setgid kmem ps, this code
is no longer required, and in fact, can is potentially harmful as it
allocates privilege to a gid that is increasingly less meaningful.
Knowledge of specific gid's in kernel is also generally bad precedent,
as the kernel security policy doesn't distinguish gid's specifically,
only uid 0.
This commit removes reference to kmem in procfs, both in terms of
access control decisions, and the applying of gid kmem to the
/proc/*/mem file, simplifying the associated code considerably.
Processes are still permitted to access the mem file based on
the debugging policy, so ps -e still works fine for normal

The p_can(...) construct was a premature (and, it turns out,
awkward) abstraction. The individual calls to p_canxxx() better
reflect differences between the inter-process authorization checks,
such as differing checks based on the type of signal. This has
a side effect of improving code readability.
o Replace direct credential authorization checks in ktrace() with
invocation of p_candebug(), while maintaining the special case
check of KTR_ROOT. This allows ktrace() to "play more nicely"
with new mandatory access control schemes, as well as making its
authorization checks consistent with other "debugging class"
checks.
o Eliminate "privused" construct for p_can*() calls which allowed the
caller to determine if privilege was required for successful
evaluation of the access control check. This primitive is currently
unused, and as such, serves only to complicate the API.

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled
by the centralized routines, as well as being inconsistent with other

not to mention a compile-time warning about the critical function

ntfs seems to have the same bug.
The factor for converting specfs block numbers to physical block
numbers is 1, but vop_stdbmap() uses the bogus factor
btodb(ap->a_vp->v_mount->mnt_stat.f_iosize), which is 16 for ffs with
the default block size of 8K. This factor is bogus even for vop_stdbmap()
-- the correct factor is related to the filesystem blocksize which is not
necessarily the same to the optimal i/o size. vop_stdbmap() was apparently
cloned from nfs where these sizes happen to be the same.

introduce a new argument, "namespace", rather than relying on a first-
character namespace indicator. This is in line with more recent
thinking on EA interfaces on various mailing lists, including the
posix1e, Linux acl-devel, and trustedbsd-discuss forums. Two namespaces
are defined by default, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM and
EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, where the primary distinction lies in the
access control model: user EAs are accessible based on the normal
MAC and DAC file/directory protections, and system attributes are
limited to kernel-originated or appropriately privileged userland
requests.
o These API changes occur at several levels: the namespace argument is
introduced in the extattr_{get,set}_file() system call interfaces,
at the vnode operation level in the vop_{get,set}extattr() interfaces,
and in the UFS extended attribute implementation. Changes are also
introduced in the VFS extattrctl() interface (system call, VFS,
and UFS implementation), where the arguments are modified to include
a namespace field, as well as modified to advoid direct access to
userspace variables from below the VFS layer (in the style of recent
changes to mount by adrian@FreeBSD.org). This required some cleanup
and bug fixing regarding VFS locks and the VFS interface, as a vnode
pointer may now be optionally submitted to the VFS_EXTATTRCTL()
call. Updated documentation for the VFS interface will be committed
shortly.
o In the near future, the auto-starting feature will be updated to
search two sub-directories to the ".attribute" directory in appropriate
file systems: "user" and "system" to locate attributes intended for
those namespaces, as the single filename is no longer sufficient
to indicate what namespace the attribute is intended for. Until this
is committed, all attributes auto-started by UFS will be placed in
the EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM namespace.
o The default POSIX.1e attribute names for ACLs and Capabilities have
been updated to no longer include the '$' in their filename. As such,
if you're using these features, you'll need to rename the attribute
backing files to the same names without '$' symbols in front.
o Note that these changes will require changes in userland, which will
be committed shortly. These include modifications to the extended
attribute utilities, as well as to libutil for new namespace
string conversion routines. Once the matching userland changes are
committed, a buildworld is recommended to update all the necessary
include files and verify that the kernel and userland environments
are in sync. Note: If you do not use extended attributes (most people
won't), upgrading is not imperative although since the system call
API has changed, the new userland extended attribute code will no longer
compile with old include files.
o Couple of minor cleanups while I'm there: make more code compilation
conditional on FFS_EXTATTR, which should recover a bit of space on
kernels running without EA's, as well as update copyright dates.

We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed

has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used

function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

fsyncs, which typically occur during unmounting, will drain all dirty
buffers even if it takes multiple passes to do so. The guarentee was
mangled by the last patch which solved a problem due to -current disabling
interrupts while holding giant (which caused an infinite spin loop waiting for
I/O to complete). -stable does not have either patch, but has a similar
bug in the original spec_fsync() code which is triggered by a bug in the
softupdates umount code, a fix for which will be committed to -current
as soon as Kirk stamps it. Then both solutions will be MFC'd to -stable.
-stable currently suffers from a combination of the softupdates bug and
a small window of opportunity in the original spec_fsync() code, and -stable
also suffers from the spin-loop bug but since interrupts are enabled the
spin resolves itself in a few milliseconds.
