7008be5bd7 Change the cap_rights_t type from uint64_t to a structure that we can extend
in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.

The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.

The structure definition looks like this:

	struct cap_rights {
		uint64_t	cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
	};

The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.

The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.

The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.

To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.

	#define	CAP_PDKILL	CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)

We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:

	#define	CAP_LOOKUP	CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
	#define	CAP_FCHMOD	CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)

	#define	CAP_FCHMODAT	(CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)

There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:

	cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
	void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
	void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
	bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

	bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
	void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
	void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
	bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);

Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:

	cap_rights_t rights;

	cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);

There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:

	#define	cap_rights_set(rights, ...)				\
		__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
	void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:

	cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);

Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.

This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

adb974068b Move the NFS FHA (File Handle Affinity) code from sys/nfsserver to
sys/nfs, since it is now shared by the two NFS servers.

d96b98a360 Revamp the old NFS server's File Handle Affinity (FHA) code so that
it will work with either the old or new server.

The FHA code keeps a cache of currently active file handles for
NFSv2 and v3 requests, so that read and write requests for the same
file are directed to the same group of threads (reads) or thread
(writes).  It does not currently work for NFSv4 requests.  They are
more complex, and will take more work to support.

This improves read-ahead performance, especially with ZFS, if the
FHA tuning parameters are configured appropriately.  Without the
FHA code, concurrent reads that are part of a sequential read from
a file will be directed to separate NFS threads.  This has the
effect of confusing the ZFS zfetch (prefetch) code and makes
sequential reads significantly slower with clients like Linux that
do a lot of prefetching.

The FHA code has also been updated to direct write requests to nearby
file offsets to the same thread in the same way it batches reads,
and the FHA code will now also send writes to multiple threads when
needed.

This improves sequential write performance in ZFS, because writes
to a file are now more ordered.  Since NFS writes (generally
less than 64K) are smaller than the typical ZFS record size
(usually 128K), out of order NFS writes to the same block can
trigger a read in ZFS.  Sending them down the same thread increases
the odds of their being in order.

In order for multiple write threads per file in the FHA code to be
useful, writes in the NFS server have been changed to use a LK_SHARED
vnode lock, and upgrade that to LK_EXCLUSIVE if the filesystem
doesn't allow multiple writers to a file at once.  ZFS is currently
the only filesystem that allows multiple writers to a file, because
it has internal file range locking.  This change does not affect the
NFSv4 code.

This improves random write performance to a single file in ZFS, since
we can now have multiple writers inside ZFS at one time.

I have changed the default tuning parameters to a 22 bit (4MB)
window size (from 256K) and unlimited commands per thread as a
result of my benchmarking with ZFS.

The FHA code has been updated to allow configuring the tuning
parameters from loader tunable variables in addition to sysctl
variables.  The read offset window calculation has been slightly
modified as well.  Instead of having separate bins, each file
handle has a rolling window of bin_shift size.  This minimizes
glitches in throughput when shifting from one bin to another.

sys/conf/files:
	Add nfs_fha_new.c and nfs_fha_old.c.  Compile nfs_fha.c
	when either the old or the new NFS server is built.

sys/fs/nfs/nfsport.h,
sys/fs/nfs/nfs_commonport.c:
	Bring in changes from Rick Macklem to newnfs_realign that
	allow it to operate in blocking (M_WAITOK) or non-blocking
	(M_NOWAIT) mode.

sys/fs/nfs/nfs_commonsubs.c,
sys/fs/nfs/nfs_var.h:
	Bring in a change from Rick Macklem to allow telling
	nfsm_dissect() whether or not to wait for mallocs.

sys/fs/nfs/nfsm_subs.h:
	Bring in changes from Rick Macklem to create a new
	nfsm_dissect_nonblock() inline function and
	NFSM_DISSECT_NONBLOCK() macro.

sys/fs/nfs/nfs_commonkrpc.c,
sys/fs/nfsclient/nfs_clkrpc.c:
	Add the malloc wait flag to a newnfs_realign() call.

sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_nfsdkrpc.c:
	Setup the new NFS server's RPC thread pool so that it will
	call the FHA code.

	Add the malloc flag argument to newnfs_realign().

	Unstaticize newnfs_nfsv3_procid[] so that we can use it in
	the FHA code.

sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_nfsdsocket.c:
	In nfsrvd_dorpc(), add NFSPROC_WRITE to the list of RPC types
	that use the LK_SHARED lock type.

sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_nfsdport.c:
	In nfsd_fhtovp(), if we're starting a write, check to see
	whether the underlying filesystem supports shared writes.
	If not, upgrade the lock type from LK_SHARED to LK_EXCLUSIVE.

sys/nfsserver/nfs_fha.c:
	Remove all code that is specific to the NFS server
	implementation.  Anything that is server-specific is now
	accessed through a callback supplied by that server's FHA
	shim in the new softc.

	There are now separate sysctls and tunables for the FHA
	implementations for the old and new NFS servers.  The new
	NFS server has its tunables under vfs.nfsd.fha, the old
	NFS server's tunables are under vfs.nfsrv.fha as before.

	In fha_extract_info(), use callouts for all server-specific
	code.  Getting file handles and offsets is now done in the
	individual server's shim module.

	In fha_hash_entry_choose_thread(), change the way we decide
	whether two reads are in proximity to each other.
	Previously, the calculation was a simple shift operation to
	see whether the offsets were in the same power of 2 bucket.
	The issue was that there would be a bucket (and therefore
	thread) transition, even if the reads were in close
	proximity.  When there is a thread transition, reads wind
	up going somewhat out of order, and ZFS gets confused.

	The new calculation simply tries to see whether the offsets
	are within 1 << bin_shift of each other.  If they are, the
	reads will be sent to the same thread.

	The effect of this change is that for sequential reads, if
	the client doesn't exceed the max_reqs_per_nfsd parameter
	and the bin_shift is set to a reasonable value (22, or
	4MB works well in my tests), the reads in any sequential
	stream will largely be confined to a single thread.

	Change fha_assign() so that it takes a softc argument.  It
	is now called from the individual server's shim code, which
	will pass in the softc.

	Change fhe_stats_sysctl() so that it takes a softc
	parameter.  It is now called from the individual server's
	shim code.  Add the current offset to the list of things
	printed out about each active thread.

	Change the num_reads and num_writes counters in the
	fha_hash_entry structure to 32-bit values, and rename them
	num_rw and num_exclusive, respectively, to reflect their
	changed usage.

	Add an enable sysctl and tunable that allows the user to
	disable the FHA code (when vfs.XXX.fha.enable = 0).  This
	is useful for before/after performance comparisons.

nfs_fha.h:
	Move most structure definitions out of nfs_fha.c and into
	the header file, so that the individual server shims can
	see them.

	Change the default bin_shift to 22 (4MB) instead of 18
	(256K).  Allow unlimited commands per thread.

sys/nfsserver/nfs_fha_old.c,
sys/nfsserver/nfs_fha_old.h,
sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_fha_new.c,
sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_fha_new.h:
	Add shims for the old and new NFS servers to interface with
	the FHA code, and callbacks for the

	The shims contain all of the code and definitions that are
	specific to the NFS servers.

	They setup the server-specific callbacks and set the server
	name for the sysctl and loader tunable variables.

sys/nfsserver/nfs_srvkrpc.c:
	Configure the RPC code to call fhaold_assign() instead of
	fha_assign().

sys/modules/nfsd/Makefile:

2609222ab4 Merge Capsicum overhaul:
- Capability is no longer separate descriptor type. Now every descriptor
  has set of its own capability rights.

- The cap_new(2) system call is left, but it is no longer documented and
  should not be used in new code.

- The new syscall cap_rights_limit(2) should be used instead of
  cap_new(2), which limits capability rights of the given descriptor
  without creating a new one.

- The cap_getrights(2) syscall is renamed to cap_rights_get(2).

- If CAP_IOCTL capability right is present we can further reduce allowed
  ioctls list with the new cap_ioctls_limit(2) syscall. List of allowed
  ioctls can be retrived with cap_ioctls_get(2) syscall.

- If CAP_FCNTL capability right is present we can further reduce fcntls
  that can be used with the new cap_fcntls_limit(2) syscall and retrive
  them with cap_fcntls_get(2).

- To support ioctl and fcntl white-listing the filedesc structure was
  heavly modified.

- The audit subsystem, kdump and procstat tools were updated to
  recognize new syscalls.

- Capability rights were revised and eventhough I tried hard to provide
  backward API and ABI compatibility there are some incompatible changes
  that are described in detail below:

	CAP_CREATE old behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.
	- Allow for linkat(2).
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).
	CAP_CREATE new behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.

	Added CAP_LINKAT:
	- Allow for linkat(2). ABI: Reuses CAP_RMDIR bit.
	- Allow to be target for renameat(2).

	Added CAP_SYMLINKAT:
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).

	Removed CAP_DELETE. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing non-directory object.
	- Allow to be source for renameat(2).

	Removed CAP_RMDIR. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing directory.

	Added CAP_RENAMEAT:
	- Required for source directory for the renameat(2) syscall.

	Added CAP_UNLINKAT (effectively it replaces CAP_DELETE and CAP_RMDIR):
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) on any object.
	- Required if target of renameat(2) exists and will be removed by this
	  call.

	Removed CAP_MAPEXEC.

	CAP_MMAP old behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2) with any combination of PROT_NONE, PROT_READ and
	  PROT_WRITE.
	CAP_MMAP new behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2)+PROT_NONE.

	Added CAP_MMAP_R:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_READ).
	Added CAP_MMAP_W:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_WRITE).
	Added CAP_MMAP_X:

	Renamed CAP_MKDIR to CAP_MKDIRAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKFIFO to CAP_MKFIFOAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKNODE to CAP_MKNODEAT.

	CAP_READ old behaviour:
	- Allow pread(2).
	- Disallow read(2), readv(2) (if there is no CAP_SEEK).
	CAP_READ new behaviour:
	- Allow read(2), readv(2).
	- Disallow pread(2) (CAP_SEEK was also required).

	CAP_WRITE old behaviour:
	- Allow pwrite(2).
	- Disallow write(2), writev(2) (if there is no CAP_SEEK).
	CAP_WRITE new behaviour:
	- Allow write(2), writev(2).

a9d2f8d84f Second-to-last commit implementing Capsicum capabilities in the FreeBSD
kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:

Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *.  With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.

Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.

In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.

Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

9ea01fedc0 - Move nfs_realign() from the NFS client to the shared NFS code and
remove the NFS server version in order to reduce code duplication.
  The shared version now uses a second parameter how, which is passed
  on to m_get(9) and m_getcl(9) as the server used M_WAIT while the
  client requires M_DONTWAIT, and replaces the the previously unused
  parameter hsiz.
- Change nfs_realign() to use nfsm_aligned() so as with other NFS code
  the alignment check isn't actually performed on platforms without
  strict alignment requirements for performance reasons because as the
  comment suggests unaligned data only occasionally occurs with TCP.
- Change fha_extract_info() to use nfs_realign() with M_DONTWAIT rather

76ca6f88da Place hostnames and similar information fully under the prison system.
The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex.  Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system.  The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL.  The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.

The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

a9148abd9d Implement support for RPCSEC_GSS authentication to both the NFS client
and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager.  I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.

The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.

To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.

As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.

Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.

The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.
