The goal here is to provide one place altering process credentials.
This eases debugging and opens up posibilities to do additional work when such

The core kernel part is patch file utimes.2008.4.diff from
pluknet@FreeBSD.org. I updated the code for API changes, added the manual

Capsicum support.
A new UTIME_* constant might allow setting birthtimes in future.

in r276564, change path type to char * (pathnames are always char *).
And remove bogus casts of malloc().
kern___getcwd() internally doesn't actually use or support u_char *
paths, except to copy them to a normal char * path.
These changes are not visible to libc as libc/gen/getcwd.c misdeclares
__getcwd() as taking a plain char * path.
While here remove _SYS_SYSPROTO_H_ for __getcwd() syscall as
we always have sysproto.h.

- Threads lifetime cycle, in particular, counting of the threads in
the process, and interlocking with process mutex and thread lock.
The main reason of this is that turnstile locks are after thread
locks, so you e.g. cannot unlock blockable mutex (think process
mutex) while owning thread lock.
- Virtual and profiling itimers, since the timers activation is done
from the clock interrupt context. Replace the p_slock by p_itimmtx
and PROC_ITIMLOCK().
- Profiling code (profil(2)), for similar reason. Replace the p_slock
by p_profmtx and PROC_PROFLOCK().
- Resource usage accounting. Need for the spinlock there is subtle,
my understanding is that spinlock blocks context switching for the
current thread, which prevents td_runtime and similar fields from
changing (updates are done at the mi_switch()). Replace the p_slock
by p_statmtx and PROC_STATLOCK().
The split is done mostly for code clarity, and should not affect
scalability.

- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current
XSTATE save area (so the size of the buffer needed for PT_GETXSTATE)
and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

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
during kernel build and 0 otherwise.

- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

syscalls themselves are tightly coupled with the network stack and
therefore should not be in the generic socket code.
The following four syscalls have been marked as NOSTD so they can be
dynamically registered in sctp_syscalls_init() function:
sys_sctp_peeloff
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov
sys_sctp_generic_recvmsg
The syscalls are also set up to be dynamically registered when COMPAT32
option is configured.
As a side effect of moving the SCTP syscalls, getsock_cap needs to be
made available outside of the uipc_syscalls.c source file. A proper
prototype has been added to the sys/socketvar.h header file.
API tests from the SCTP reference implementation have been run to ensure

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Make it really work for native FreeBSD programs. Before this it was broken
for years due to different number of pointer dereferences in Linux and
FreeBSD IOCTL paths, permanently returning errors to FreeBSD programs.
This change breaks the driver FreeBSD IOCTL ABI, making it more strict,
but since it was not working any way -- who bother.
Add shims for 32-bit programs on 64-bit host, translating the argument
of the SG_IO IOCTL for both FreeBSD and Linux ABIs.
With this change I was able to run 32-bit Linux sg3_utils tools and simple
32 and 64-bit FreeBSD test tools on both 32 and 64-bit FreeBSD systems.

flag has been added instead of FUTEX_WAIT to replace the FUTEX_WAIT
logic which needs to do gettimeofday() calls before the futex syscall
to convert the absolute timeout to a relative timeout.
Before this the CLOCK_MONOTONIC used by the FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET op.
When the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is specified the timeout is an absolute
time, not a relative time. Rework futex_wait to handle this.
On the side fix the futex leak in error case and remove useless
parentheses.
Properly calculate the timeout for the CLOCK_MONOTONIC case.

Some Linux futex ops atomically verifies that the futex address uaddr

While here change ktr records to print parameters in more readable format.

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).
