You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'

two references to the new descriptor: one in the descriptor table
and one via a pointer argument.
As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor
table before falloc's caller gets to use the file. I don't think this
can happen in practice at the moment, because Giant indirectly protects
closes.
To stop the file being completly closed in this situation, this change
makes falloc set the refcount to two when both references are returned.
This makes life easier for several of falloc's callers, because the

implementing GUI's which need to modify icons based on access rights,
but where use of open(2) is too expensive, use of stat(2) doesn't
reflect the file system's real protection model, and use of
access() suffers from real/effective credential confusion. This
implementation provides the same semantics as the call of the same

leave you subject to some of the same races present in the

calls, extattr_{delete,get,set}_file() which act on paths. In doing
so, restructure the system call implementation such that the two sets
of functions share most of the relevant code, rather than duplicating

the copying in of some arguments in the system call code. Allowing
access via file descriptors reduces the opportunity for race

introduce a new argument, "namespace", rather than relying on a first-
character namespace indicator. This is in line with more recent
thinking on EA interfaces on various mailing lists, including the
posix1e, Linux acl-devel, and trustedbsd-discuss forums. Two namespaces
are defined by default, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM and
EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, where the primary distinction lies in the
access control model: user EAs are accessible based on the normal
MAC and DAC file/directory protections, and system attributes are
limited to kernel-originated or appropriately privileged userland
requests.
o These API changes occur at several levels: the namespace argument is
introduced in the extattr_{get,set}_file() system call interfaces,
at the vnode operation level in the vop_{get,set}extattr() interfaces,
and in the UFS extended attribute implementation. Changes are also
introduced in the VFS extattrctl() interface (system call, VFS,
and UFS implementation), where the arguments are modified to include
a namespace field, as well as modified to advoid direct access to
userspace variables from below the VFS layer (in the style of recent
changes to mount by adrian@FreeBSD.org). This required some cleanup
and bug fixing regarding VFS locks and the VFS interface, as a vnode
pointer may now be optionally submitted to the VFS_EXTATTRCTL()
call. Updated documentation for the VFS interface will be committed
shortly.
o In the near future, the auto-starting feature will be updated to
search two sub-directories to the ".attribute" directory in appropriate
file systems: "user" and "system" to locate attributes intended for
those namespaces, as the single filename is no longer sufficient
to indicate what namespace the attribute is intended for. Until this
is committed, all attributes auto-started by UFS will be placed in
the EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM namespace.
o The default POSIX.1e attribute names for ACLs and Capabilities have
been updated to no longer include the '$' in their filename. As such,
if you're using these features, you'll need to rename the attribute
backing files to the same names without '$' symbols in front.
o Note that these changes will require changes in userland, which will
be committed shortly. These include modifications to the extended
attribute utilities, as well as to libutil for new namespace
string conversion routines. Once the matching userland changes are
committed, a buildworld is recommended to update all the necessary
include files and verify that the kernel and userland environments
are in sync. Note: If you do not use extended attributes (most people
won't), upgrading is not imperative although since the system call
API has changed, the new userland extended attribute code will no longer
compile with old include files.
o Couple of minor cleanups while I'm there: make more code compilation

An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.
This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.
* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().
* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being
kernel variables in vfs_mount(). `data' remains a pointer into
userspace.
* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()
aren't too long.
* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
(besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
(linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)
* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
since its a pointer into userland.
* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
filesystem. This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
each filesystem can override it if they want to.
* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.
`rootvnode' pointer, but vfs_syscalls.c's checkdirs() assumed that
it did. This bug reliably caused a panic at reboot time if any
filesystem had been mounted directly over /.
The checkdirs() function is called at mount time to find any process
fd_cdir or fd_rdir pointers referencing the covered mountpoint
vnode. It transfers these to point at the root of the new filesystem.
However, this process was not reversed at unmount time, so processes
with a cwd/root at a mount point would unexpectedly lose their
cwd/root following a mount-unmount cycle at that mountpoint.
This change should fix both of the above issues. Start_init() now
holds an extra vnode reference corresponding to `rootvnode', and
dounmount() releases this reference when the root filesystem is
unmounted just before reboot. Dounmount() now undoes the actions
taken by checkdirs() at mount time; any process cdir/rdir pointers
that reference the root vnode of the unmounted filesystem are
transferred to the now-uncovered vnode.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.
