Each TCP connection that uses the system default cc_newreno(4) congestion
control algorithm module leaks a "struct newreno" (8 bytes of memory) at
connection initialisation time. The NULL-pointer dereference is only germane
when using the ABE feature, which is disabled by default.
While at it:
- Defer the allocation of memory until it is actually needed given that ABE is
optional and disabled by default.
- Document the ENOMEM errno in getsockopt(2)/setsockopt(2).
- Document ENOMEM and ENOBUFS in tcp(4) as being synonymous given that they are
used interchangeably throughout the code.
- Fix a few other nits also accidentally omitted from the original patch.

On older kernels, when userspace program disables SIGSYS, catch ENOSYS and
emulate getrandom(2) syscall with the kern.arandom sysctl (via existing
arc4_sysctl wrapper).
Special care is taken to faithfully emulate EFAULT on NULL pointers, because
sysctl(3) as used by kern.arandom ignores NULL oldp. (This was caught by

The general idea here is to provide userspace programs with well-defined
sources of entropy, in a fashion that doesn't require opening a new file
descriptor (ulimits) or accessing paths (/dev/urandom may be restricted
by chroot or capsicum).
getrandom(2) is the more general API, and comes from the Linux world.
Since our urandom and random devices are identical, the GRND_RANDOM flag
is ignored.
getentropy(3) is added as a compatibility shim for the OpenBSD API.
truss(1) support is included.
Tests for both system calls are provided. Coverage is believed to be at
least as comprehensive as LTP getrandom(2) test coverage. Additionally,
instructions for running the LTP tests directly against FreeBSD are provided
in the "Test Plan" section of the Differential revision linked below. (They
pass, of course.)

utilities is done by calling gr_addgid() for each group to be
added (usually found by traversing /etc/group) then calling the
setgroups() system call after the group set has been created.
The gr_addgid() function (helpfully?) deduplicates the addition
of group members. So, if you call it to add a group member that
already exists, it is just dropped. Because group[0] is the
effective group-ID and is over-written when a setgid program
is run, The value in group[0] is usually duplicated so that
group value is not lost when a setgid program is run.
Historically this happened because the group value indicated
in the password file also appears in /etc/group (e.g., if you
are group staff in the password file, you will also appear in
the staff line in /etc/group). But, with the addition of the
deduplication, the attempt to add group staff was lost because
it already appeared in group[0]. So, the fix is to deduplicate
starting from group[1] which allows a duplicate of the entry in
group[0], but not in later entries.
There is some confusion about the setgroups system call because in
BSD it has (always) set the entire group including the egid group
(in group[0]). However, in Linux, it skips over group[0] and starts
setting from group[1]. See this comment from linux_setgroups:
/*
* cr_groups[0] holds egid. Setting the whole set from
* the supplied set will cause egid to be changed too.
* Keep cr_groups[0] unchanged to prevent that.
*/
To make it clear what the BSD setgroups system call does, I
added the following paragraph to the setgroups(2) manual page:
The first entry of the group array (gidset[0]) is used as the effective
group-ID for the process. This entry is over-written when a setgid
program is run. To avoid losing access to the privileges of the
gidset[0] entry, it should be duplicated later in the group array.
By convention, this happens because the group value indicated in the
password file also appears in /etc/group. The group value in the
password file is placed in gidset[0] and that value then gets added a
second time when the /etc/group file is scanned to create the group set.

In r322258 I made p1003_1b.aio_listio_max a tunable. However, further
investigation shows that there was never any good reason for that limit to
exist in the first place. It's used in two completely different ways:
* To size a UMA zone, which globally limits the number of concurrent
aio_suspend calls.
* To artifically limit the number of operations in a single lio_listio call.
There doesn't seem to be any memory allocation associated with this limit.
This change does two things:
* Properly names aio_suspend's UMA zone, and sizes it based on a new constant.
* Eliminates the artifical restriction on lio_listio. Instead, lio_listio
calls will now be limited by the more generous max_aio_queue_per_proc. The
old p1003_1b.aio_listio_max is now an alias for
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc, so sysconf(3) will still work with
_SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX.
