flexible process_fork, process_exec, and process_exit eventhandlers. This
reduces code duplication and also means that I don't have to go duplicate
the eventhandler locking three more times for each of at_fork, at_exec, and
at_exit.

Introduce a new vfs_stdsync function, which iterates over mount

Make nwfs and smbfs use this new function instead of rolling their
own identical sync implementations.

kind of pseudofs-based filesystem. Fixes (at least) one problem where
when procfs is mounted mupltiple times, trying to unmount one will often
cause the wrong one to get unmounted, and other problem where mounting
one procfs on top of another caused the kernel to lock up.

"refreshing" the label on the vnode before use, just get the label
right from inception. For single-label file systems, set the label
in the generic VFS getnewvnode() code; for multi-label file systems,
leave the labeling up to the file system. With UFS1/2, this means
reading the extended attribute during vfs_vget() as the inode is
pulled off disk, rather than hitting the extended attributes
frequently during operations later, improving performance. This
also corrects sematics for shared vnode locks, which were not
previously present in the system. This chances the cache
coherrency properties WRT out-of-band access to label data, but in
an acceptable form. With UFS1, there is a small race condition
during automatic extended attribute start -- this is not present
with UFS2, and occurs because EAs aren't available at vnode
inception. We'll introduce a work around for this shortly.

that use it. Specifically, vop_stdlock uses the lock pointed to by
vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to
have used for the vnode. Such filesystems are responsible for
setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim
routine (e.g., vp->v_vnlock = &vp->v_lock).
In theory, this set of changes cleans up the existing filesystem
lock interface and should have no function change to the existing
locking scheme.

- Lock access to the buf lists in the various sync routines. interlock
locking could be avoided almost entirely in leaf filesystems if the
fsync function had a generic helper.
v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

kernel access control.
Modify pseudofs so that it can support synthetic file systems with
the multilabel flag set. In particular, implement vop_refreshlabel()
as pn_refreshlabel(). Implement pfs_refreshlabel() to invoke this,
and have it fall back to the mount label if the file system does
not implement pn_refreshlabel() for the node. Otherwise, permit
the file system to determine how the service is provided.

- Return locked vnodes from vncache_alloc
- Setup vnode op vectors to use default lock, unlock, and islocked
- Implement simple locking scheme required for lookup

by the second argument to be locked. We now use the thread ucred reference
for the credential checks in p_can*() as a result. p_canfoo() should now

o Modify the system call syntax for extattr_{get,set}_{fd,file}() so
as not to use the scatter gather API (which appeared not to be used
by any consumers, and be less portable), rather, accepts 'data'
and 'nbytes' in the style of other simple read/write interfaces.
This changes the API and ABI.
o Modify system call semantics so that extattr_get_{fd,file}() return
a size_t. When performing a read, the number of bytes read will
be returned, unless the data pointer is NULL, in which case the
number of bytes of data are returned. This changes the API only.
o Modify the VOP_GETEXTATTR() vnode operation to accept a *size_t
argument so as to return the size, if desirable. If set to NULL,
the size will not be returned.
o Update various filesystems (pseodofs, ufs) to DTRT.
These changes should make extended attributes more useful and more
portable. More commits to rebuild the system call files, as well
as update userland utilities to follow.

the wrong VOP descriptor. This misuse caused VFS-cached vnodes to be
re-cached, resulting in the leak. This commit is an interim fix until DES
has a chance to rework the code involved.
YA pseudofs megacommit, part 2:
- Merge the pfs_vnode and pfs_vdata structures, and make the vnode cache
a doubly-linked list. This eliminates the need to walk the list in
pfs_vncache_free().
- Add an exit callout which revokes vnodes associated with the process
that just exited. Since it needs to lock the cache when it does this,
pfs_vncache_mutex needs MTX_RECURSE.
- Add a third callback to the pfs_node structure. This one simply returns
non-zero if the specified requesting process is allowed to access the
specified node for the specified target process. This is used in
addition to the usual permission checks, e.g. when certain files don't
make sense for certain (system) processes.
- Make sure that pfs_lookup() and pfs_readdir() don't yap about files
which aren't pfs_visible(). Also check pfs_visible() before performing
reads and writes, to prevent the kind of races reported in SA-00:77 and
SA-01:55 (fork a child, open /proc/child/ctl, have that child fork a
setuid binary, and assume control of it).
- Add some more trace points.
- Rearrange the flag constants a little to simplify specifying and testing
for readability and writeability.
pseudofs_vnops.c:
- Track the aforementioned change.
- Add checks to pfs_open() to prevent opening read-only files for writing
or vice versa (pfs_{read,write} would block the actual reads and writes,
but it's still a bug to allow the open() to succeed). Also, return
EOPNOTSUPP if the caller attempts to lock the file.
- Add more trace points.
- Remove hardcoded uid, gid, mode from struct pfs_node; make pfs_getattr()
smart enough to get it right most of the time, and allow for callbacks
to handle the remaining cases. Rework the definition macros to match.
- Add lots of (conditional) debugging output.
- Fix a long-standing bug inherited from procfs: don't pretend to be a
read-only file system. Instead, return EOPNOTSUPP for operations we
truly can't support and allow others to fail silently. In particular,
pfs_lookup() now treats CREATE as LOOKUP. This may need more work.
- In pfs_lookup(), if the parent node is process-dependent, check that
the process in question still exists.
- Implement pfs_open() - its only current function is to check that the
process opening the file can see the process it belongs to.
- Finish adding support for writeable nodes.
- Bump module version number.
- Introduce lots of new bugs.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the

It's not finished yet (I still have to find a way to implement process-
dependent nodes without consuming too much memory, and the permission
system needs tightening up), but it's becoming hard to work on without
a repo (I've accidentally almost nuked it once already), and it works
(except for the lack of process-dependent nodes, that is).
I was supposed to commit this a week ago, but timed out waiting for jkh
