Kirk McKusick fdece2b8f7 Declare a `struct extattr' that defines the format of an extended
attribute. Also define some macros to manipulate one of these
structures. Explain their use in the extattr.9 manual page.

The next step will be to make a sweep through the kernel replacing
the old pointer manipulation code. To get an idea of how they would
be used, the ffs_findextattr() function in ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c is
currently written as follows:

/*
 * Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
 *
 * Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
 * the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
 */
static int
ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
    u_char **eap, u_char **eac)
{
	u_char *p, *pe, *pn, *p0;
	int eapad1, eapad2, ealength, ealen, nlen;
	uint32_t ul;

	pe = ptr + length;
	nlen = strlen(name);

	for (p = ptr; p < pe; p = pn) {
		p0 = p;
		bcopy(p, &ul, sizeof(ul));
		pn = p + ul;
		/* make sure this entry is complete */
		if (pn > pe)
			break;
		p += sizeof(uint32_t);
		if (*p != nspace)
			continue;
		p++;
		eapad2 = *p++;
		if (*p != nlen)
			continue;
		p++;
		if (bcmp(p, name, nlen))
			continue;
		ealength = sizeof(uint32_t) + 3 + nlen;
		eapad1 = 8 - (ealength % 8);
		if (eapad1 == 8)
			eapad1 = 0;
		ealength += eapad1;
		ealen = ul - ealength - eapad2;
		p += nlen + eapad1;
		if (eap != NULL)
			*eap = p0;
		if (eac != NULL)
			*eac = p;
		return (ealen);
	}
	return(-1);
}

After applying the structure and macros, it would look like this:

/*
 * Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
 *
 * Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
 * the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
 */
static int
ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
    u_char **eapp, u_char **eac)
{
	struct extattr *eap, *eaend;

	eaend = (struct extattr *)(ptr + length);
	for (eap = (struct extattr *)ptr; eap < eaend; eap = EXTATTR_NEXT(eap)){
		/* make sure this entry is complete */
		if (EXTATTR_NEXT(eap) > eaend)
			break;
		if (eap->ea_namespace != nspace ||
		    eap->ea_namelength != length ||
		    bcmp(eap->ea_name, name, length))
			continue;
		if (eapp != NULL)
			*eapp = eap;
		if (eac != NULL)
			*eac = EXTATTR_CONTENT(eap);
		return (EXTATTR_CONTENT_SIZE(eap));
	}
	return(-1);
}

Not only is it considerably shorter, but it hopefully more readable :-)

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
