The pipe2() function is similar to pipe() but allows setting FD_CLOEXEC and
O_NONBLOCK (on both sides) as part of the function.
If p points to two writable ints, pipe2(p, 0) is equivalent to pipe(p).
If the pointer is not valid, behaviour differs: pipe2() writes into the
array from the kernel like socketpair() does, while pipe() writes into the
array from an architecture-specific assembler wrapper.

The accept4() function, compared to accept(), allows setting the new file
descriptor atomically close-on-exec and explicitly controlling the
non-blocking status on the new socket. (Note that the latter point means
that accept() is not equivalent to any form of accept4().)
The linuxulator's accept4 implementation leaves a race window where the new
file descriptor is not close-on-exec because it calls sys_accept(). This
implementation leaves no such race window (by using falloc() flags). The
linuxulator could be fixed and simplified by using the new code.
Like accept(), accept4() is async-signal-safe, a cancellation point and
permitted in capability mode.
A blocking accept (and some other operations) waits on &so->so_timeo. Once
it wakes up, it will detect the SBS_CANTRCVMORE bit.
The error from accept() is [ECONNABORTED] which is not the nicest one -- the
thread calling accept() needs to know out-of-band what is happening.
A spurious wakeup on so->so_timeo appears harmless (sleep retried) except
when lingering on close (SO_LINGER, and in that case there is no descriptor
to call shutdown() on) so this should be fairly safe.
A shutdown() already woke up a blocked accept() for TCP sockets, but not for
Unix domain sockets. This fix is generic for all domains.
This patch was sent to -hackers@ and -net@ on April 5.

instead of kernel_map size to prevent kernel memory exhaustion
by mbufs and a subsequent panic on physical page allocation
failure.
On architectures without a direct map all mbuf memory (except
for jumbo mbufs larger than PAGE_SIZE) comes from kmem_map.
It is the limiting factor hence.
For architectures with a direct map using the size of kmem_map
is a good proxy of available kernel memory as well. If it is
much smaller the mbuf limit may be sub-optimal but remains
reasonable, while avoiding panics under exhaustion.
The overall mbuf memory limit calculation may be reconsidered
again later, however due to the many different mbuf sizes and
different backing KVM maps it is a tricky subject.

Programs often do not expect an [EINTR] return from sem_wait() and POSIX
only allows it if the signal was installed without SA_RESTART. The timeout
in sem_timedwait() is absolute so it can be restarted normally.
The umtx call can be invoked with a relative timeout and in that case
[ERESTART] must be changed to [EINTR]. However, libc does not do this.
The old POSIX semaphore implementation did this correctly (before r249566),
unlike the new umtx one.
It may be desirable to avoid [EINTR] completely, which matches the pthread
functions and is explicitly permitted by POSIX. However, the kernel must
return [EINTR] at least for signals with SA_RESTART clear, otherwise pthread
cancellation will not abort a semaphore wait. In this commit, only restore
the 8.x behaviour which is also permitted by POSIX.

The main goal of the change is to make coredump to write notes
directly to the core file, without preliminary preparing them all in a
memory buffer. Storing notes in memory is not a problem for the
current, rather small, set of notes we write to the core, but it may
becomes an issue when we start to store procstat notes.

In some cases, kern_envp is set by the architecture code and env_pos does

In case where there are no static kernel environment entries, the
function init_dynamic_kenv() adds an incorrect entry at position 0 of
the dynamic kernel environment. This in turn causes kenv(1) to print

Fix this by checking env_pos in init_dynamic_kenv() and adding dynamic

Although native word padding (i.e. 8-byte on 64bit arch) looks to be
in agreement with standards, other parts of our code and other OSes
use 4-byte alignment.
This is not expected to change alignment for currently generated core
dump notes, as the notes look to consist of structures with sizes
multiple of 8 on 64-bit archs. But there are plans to add additional
notes, where 4-byte vs 8-byte alignment makes difference.

POSIX mqueue, compatibility ksem and POSIX shm create a file descriptor that

where a thread may fork and exec while the flag has not been set yet. The
race is easily reproduced on a multicore system with one thread doing
shm_open and close and another thread doing posix_spawnp and waitpid.
