The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.

add new gr_* functions so now gr_util API is similar to pw_util API,

file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.
The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.
The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.
We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.

a very bad one, since the shift does not actually overflow. This is
a better example (assuming uint64_t = unsigned long long):
~0LLU >> 9 = 0x7fffffffffffffLLU
~0LLU >> 9 << 10 = 0xfffffffffffffc00LLU
~0LLU >> 9 << 10 >> 10 = 0x3fffffffffffffLLU

from int64_t to uint64_t; this makes it easier to check for overflow.

I changed login_tty() to only work when the application is not a session
leader yet. This works fine for applications in the base system, but it
turns out various applications call this function after daemonizing,
which means they already use their own session.
If setsid() fails, just call tcsetsid() on the current session.
tcsetsid() will already perform proper security checks.

The problem with fcntl(2) locks is that they are not inherited by child
processes. This breaks pidfile(3), where the common idiom is to open
and lock the PID file before daemonizing.
The entire world seems to use the non-standard TIOCSCTTY ioctl to make a
TTY a controlling terminal of a session. Even though tcsetsid(3) is also
non-standard, I think it's a lot better to use in our own source code,
mainly because it's similar to tcsetpgrp(), tcgetpgrp() and tcgetsid().
I stole the idea from QNX. They do it the other way around; their
TIOCSCTTY is just a wrapper around tcsetsid(). tcsetsid() then calls
into an IPC framework.

files directly.
Update the edquota program to use this new interface as proof of
concept.
This changes struct kinfo_filedesc and kinfo_vmentry such that they are
same on both 32 and 64 bit platforms like i386/amd64 and won't require
sysctl wrapping.
Two new OIDs are assigned. The old ones are available under
COMPAT_FREEBSD7 - but it isn't that simple. The superceded interface
was never actually released on 7.x.
The other main change is to pack the data passed to userland via the
sysctl. kf_structsize and kve_structsize are reduced for the copyout.
If you have a process with 100,000+ sockets open, the unpacked records
require a 132MB+ copyout. With packing, it is "only" ~35MB. (Still
seriously unpleasant, but not quite as devastating). A similar problem
exists for the vmentry structure - have lots and lots of shared libraries
and small mmaps and its copyout gets expensive too.
My immediate problem is valgrind. It traditionally achieves this
functionality by parsing procfs output, in a packed format. Secondly, when
tracing 32 bit binaries on amd64 under valgrind, it uses a cross compiled
32 bit binary which ran directly into the differing data structures in 32
vs 64 bit mode. (valgrind uses this to track file descriptor operations
and this therefore affected every single 32 bit binary)
I've added two utility functions to libutil to unpack the structures into
a fixed record length and to make it a little more convenient to use.

Fixed alignment issue in gr_dup() in its assignment of gr_mem using a
struct to force alignment without performing alignment mathematics. This

Added checks to gr_dup(), gr_equal() and gr_make() to prevent segfaults
when examining struct group's with the struct members pointing to NULL's.
With fix of alignment issue, restore WARNS?=6.

struct sockaddr * that it casts internally to the appropriate type based on
sa_family. However, struct sockaddr has very lax alignment requirements,
which causes the compiler to complain when you cast a struct sockaddr * to,
say, a struct sockaddr_in6 *.
I find it reasonable to assume that the pointer we received is in fact
correctly aligned. Therefore, we can work around the compiler warnings by
casting to void * before casting to the desired type. For readability's
sake, this is done with macros.
The same technique should prove useful in other parts of the tree that

As discussed on the commits list, there is no need to call revoke()
inside openpty(). On RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 unlockpt() will call
revoke(). On HEAD we create pseudo-terminals on demand, so there is no
need to revoke the slave device node.
This change should never be MFC'd, because the implementation we have in
RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 should work flawlessly with older versions of
libc.
