in struct proc. While the process label is actually stored in the
struct ucred pointed to by p_ucred, there is a need for transient
storage that may be used when asynchronous (deferred) updates need to
be performed on the "real" label for locking reasons. Unlike other
label storage, this label has no locking semantics, relying on policies
to provide their own protection for the label contents, meaning that
a policy leaf mutex may be used, avoiding lock order issues. This
permits policies that act based on historical process behavior (such
as audit policies, the MAC Framework port of LOMAC, etc) can update
process properties even when many existing locks are held without
violating the lock order. No currently committed policies implement use
of this label storage.

owner thread's spare thread in thread_exit(). there
is a race between owner thread and borrow thread:
an owner thread may allocate a spare thread as this:

td->standin = thread_alloc();
but thread_alloc() can block the thread, then a borrower
thread would possible stash it self as owner's spare

is a thread leak in kernel, double check in owner can

the MAC policy list is busy during a load or unload attempt.
We assert no locks held during the cv wait, meaning we should
be fairly deadlock-safe. Because of the cv model and busy
count, it's possible for a cv waiter waiting for exclusive
access to the policy list to be starved by active and
long-lived access control/labeling events. For now, we
accept that as a necessary tradeoff.

mac_thread_userret() only if PS_MACPEND is set in the process AST mask.
This avoids the cost of the entry point in the common case, but
requires policies interested in the userret event to set the flag
(protected by the scheduler lock) if they do want the event. Since
all the policies that we're working with which use mac_thread_userret()
use the entry point only selectively to perform operations deferred
for locking reasons, this maintains the desired semantics.

The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.

of the original AIO request: save and restore the active thread credential
as well as using the file credential, since MAC (and some other bits of
the system) rely on the thread credential instead of/as well as the
file credential. In brief: cache td->td_ucred when the AIO operation
is queued, temporarily set and restore the kernel thread credential,
and release the credential when done. Similar to ktrace credential
management.

(1) Permit userland applications to request a change of label atomic
with an execve() via mac_execve(). This is required for the
SEBSD port of SELinux/FLASK. Attempts to invoke this without
MAC compiled in result in ENOSYS, as with all other MAC system
calls. Complexity, if desired, is present in policy modules,
rather than the framework.
(2) Permit policies to have access to both the label of the vnode
being executed as well as the interpreter if it's a shell
script or related UNIX nonsense. Because we can't hold both
vnode locks at the same time, cache the interpreter label.
SEBSD relies on this because it supports secure transitioning
via shell script executables. Other policies might want to
take both labels into account during an integrity or
confidentiality decision at execve()-time.

entrypoints, #ifdef MAC. The supporting logic already existed in
kern_mac.c, so no change there. This permits MAC policies to cause
a process label change as the result of executing a binary --
typically, as a result of executing a specially labeled binary.
For example, the SEBSD port of SELinux/FLASK uses this functionality
to implement TE type transitions on processes using transitioning
binaries, in a manner similar to setuid. Policies not implementing
a notion of transition (all the ones in the tree right now) require
no changes, since the old label data is copied to the new label
via mac_create_cred() even if a transition does occur.

describes an image activation instance. Instead, make use of the
existing fname structure entry, and introduce two new entries,
userspace_argv, and userspace_envv. With the addition of
mac_execve(), this divorces the image structure from the specifics
of the execve() system call, removes a redundant pointer, etc.
No semantic change from current behavior, but it means that the
structure doesn't depend on syscalls.master-generated includes.
There seems to be some redundant initialization of imgact entries,
which I have maintained, but which could probably use some cleaning
