The kernel tracks syscall users so that modules can safely unregister them.
But if the module is not unloadable or was compiled into the kernel, there is
no need to do this.
Achieve this by adding SY_THR_STATIC_KLD macro which expands to SY_THR_STATIC

call to freebsd32_convert_msg_in() with freebsd32_copyin_control() to
readin and convert in a single step. This makes it simpler to put all
the control messages in a single mbuf or mbuf cluster as per the
limitations imposed upon us by ip6_setpktopts().
The logic is as follows:
1. Go over the array of control messages to determine overall size
and include extra padding for proper alignment as we go.
2. Get a mbuf or mbuf cluster as needed or fail if the overall
(adjusted) size is larger than a cluster.
3. Go over the array of control messages again, but now copy them
into kernel space and into aligned offsets.
4. Update the length of the control message to take padding between
the header and the data into account (but not for padding added
between one control message and the next).

This will also prevent future breakage due to people adding additional

This fires off a kqueue note (of type sendfile) to the configured kqfd
when the sendfile transaction has completed and the relevant memory
backing the transaction is no longer in use by this transaction.
This is analogous to SF_SYNC waiting for the mbufs to complete -
except now you don't have to wait.
Both SF_SYNC and SF_KQUEUE should work together, even if it
doesn't necessarily make any practical sense.
This is designed for use by applications which use backing cache/store
files (eg Varnish) or POSIX shared memory (not sure anything is using
it yet!) to know when a region of memory is free for re-use. Note
it doesn't mark the region as free overall - only free from this
transaction. The application developer still needs to track which
ranges are in the process of being recycled and wait until all
pending transactions are completed.

for extending and reusing it.
The sendfile_sync wrapper is mostly just a "mbuf transaction" wrapper,
used to indicate that the backing store for a group of mbufs has completed.
It's only being used by sendfile for now and it's only implementing a
sleep/wakeup rendezvous. However, there are other potential signaling
paths (kqueue) and other potential uses (socket zero-copy write) where the
same mechanism would also be useful.
So, with that in mind:
* extract the sendfile_sync code out into sf_sync_*() methods
* teach the sf_sync_alloc method about the current config flag -
it will eventually know about kqueue.
* move the sendfile_sync code out of do_sendfile() - the only thing
it now knows about is the sfs pointer. The guts of the sync
rendezvous (setup, rendezvous/wait, free) is now done in the
syscall wrapper.
* .. and teach the 32-bit compat sendfile call the same.
This should be a no-op. It's primarily preparation work for teaching
the sendfile_sync about kqueue notification.

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.

o) Add a new type to the freebsd32 compat layer, time32_t, which is time_t in the
32-bit ABI being used. Since the MIPS port is relatively-new, even the 32-bit
ABIs use a 64-bit time_t.
o) Because time{spec,val}32 has the same size and layout as time{spec,val} on MIPS
with 32-bit compatibility, then, disable some code which assumes otherwise
wrongly when built for MIPS. A more general macro to check in this case would
seem like a good idea eventually. If someone adds support for using n32
userland with n64 kernels on MIPS, then they will have to add a variety of
flags related to each piece of the ABI that can vary. That's probably the
right time to generalize further.

madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.
