POSIX requires these members to be of type void * rather than the
char * inherited from 4BSD. NetBSD and OpenBSD both changed their
fields to void * back in 1998. No new build failures were reported

AT_SECURE auxv entry has been added to the Linux 2.5 kernel to pass a
boolean flag indicating whether secure mode should be enabled. 1 means
that the program has changes its credentials during the execution.
Being exported AT_SECURE used by glibc issetugid() call.

The set_robust_list system call request the kernel to record the head
of the list of robust futexes owned by the calling thread. The head
argument is the list head to record.
The get_robust_list system call should return the head of the robust
list of the thread whose thread id is specified in pid argument.
The list head should be stored in the location pointed to by head
argument.
In contrast, our implemenattion of get_robust_list system call copies
the known portion of memory pointed by recorded in set_robust_list
system call pointer to the head of the robust list to the location
pointed by head argument.
So, it is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel
memory, which may result in a privilege escalation.

sv_prepsyscall is unused.
sv_sigsize and sv_sigtbl translate signal number from the FreeBSD
namespace into the ABI domain. It is only utilized on i386 for iBCS2
binaries. The issue with this approach is that signals for iBCS2 were
delivered with the FreeBSD signal frame layout, which does not follow
iBCS2. The same note is true for any other potential user if
sv_sigtbl. In other words, if ABI needs signal number translation, it
really needs custom sv_sendsig method instead.

Due to an off by one the code would read an entry past the table, as

Use the same scheme implemented to manage credentials.
Code needing to look at process's credentials (as opposed to thred's) is
provided with *_proc variants of relevant functions.
Places which possibly had to take the proc lock anyway still use the proc
pointer to access limits.
1. Linux sigset always 64 bit on all platforms. In order to move Linux
sigset code to the linux_common module define it as 64 bit int. Move
Linux sigset manipulation routines to the MI path.
2. Move Linux signal number definitions to the MI path. In general, they
are the same on all platforms except for a few signals.
3. Map Linux RT signals to the FreeBSD RT signals and hide signal conversion
tables to avoid conversion errors.
4. Emulate Linux SIGPWR signal via FreeBSD SIGRTMIN signal which is outside
of allowed on Linux signal numbers.

argument is not a null pointer, and the ss_flags member pointed to by ss
contains flags other than SS_DISABLE. However, in fact, Linux also
allows SS_ONSTACK flag which is simply ignored.
For buggy apps (at least mono) ignore other than SS_DISABLE
flags as a Linux do.
While here move MI part of sigaltstack code to the appropriate place.

around kqueue() to implement epoll subset of functionality.
The kqueue user data are 32bit on i386 which is not enough for
epoll user data, so we keep user data in the proc emuldata.
Initial patch developed by rdivacky@ in 2007, then extended
by Yuri Victorovich @ r255672 and finished by me
in collaboration with mjg@ and jillies@.

The AT_EACCESS and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags are actually implemented
within the glibc wrapper function for faccessat(). If either of these
flags are specified, then the wrapper function employs fstatat() to
determine access permissions.

following primary purposes:
1. Remove the dependency of linsysfs and linprocfs modules from linux.ko,
which will be architecture specific on amd64.
2. Incorporate into linux_common.ko general code for platforms on which
we'll support two Linuxulator modules (for both instruction set - 32 & 64 bit).
3. Move malloc(9) declaration to linux_common.ko, to enable getting memory
usage statistics properly.
Currently linux_common.ko incorporates a code from linux_mib.c and linux_util.c
and linprocfs, linsysfs and linux kernel modules depend on linux_common.ko.
Temporarily remove dtrace garbage from linux_mib.c and linux_util.c
