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.
extattr_set_{fd,file,link} is logically a write(2)-like operation and

in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages

The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the

- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the

right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and

- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
extended FPU state.

madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.

A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.
New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.
When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.

Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve

vop_stdallocate() is filesystem agnostic and will run as slow as a
read/write loop in userspace; however, it serves to correctly
implement the functionality for filesystems that do not implement a
VOP_ALLOCATE.
Note that __FreeBSD_version was already bumped today to 900036 for any
ports which would like to use this function.
Also reserve space in the syscall table for posix_fadvise(2).

safer for i386 because it can be easily over 4 GHz now. More worse, it can
be easily changed by user with 'machdep.tsc_freq' tunable (directly) or
cpufreq(4) (indirectly). Note it is intentionally not used in performance
critical paths to avoid performance regression (but we should, in theory).
Alternatively, we may add "virtual TSC" with lower frequency if maximum
frequency overflows 32 bits (and ignore possible incoherency as we do now).
There is a generic problem with the shims for ioctls that receive
pointers to the usermode data areas in the data argument. We either have
to modify the handler to accept UIO_USERSPACE/UIO_SYSSPACE indicator, or
allocate and fill a usermode memory for data buffer in the host format.
The change goes the second route, in particular because we do not need
to modify the handler.

In particular:
- implement compat shims for old stat(2) variants and ogetdirentries(2);
- implement delivery of signals with ancient stack frame layout and
corresponding sigreturn(2);
- implement old getpagesize(2);
- provide a user-mode trampoline and LDT call gate for lcall $7,$0;
- port a.out image activator and connect it to the build as a module
on amd64.
The changes are hidden under COMPAT_43.

I have not properly thought through the commit. After r220031 (linux
compat: improve and fix sendmsg/recvmsg compatibility) the basic
handling for SO_PASSCRED is not sufficient as it breaks recvmsg
functionality for SCM_CREDS messages because now we would need to handle
sockcred data in addition to cmsgcred. And that is not implemented yet.

on the set of rules it maintains and the current resource usage. It also
privides userland API to manage that ruleset.

- implement baseic stubs for capget, capset, prctl PR_GET_KEEPCAPS
and prctl PR_SET_KEEPCAPS.
- add SCM_CREDS support to sendmsg and recvmsg
- modify sendmsg to ignore control messages if not using UNIX
domain sockets
This should allow linux pulse audio daemon and client work on FreeBSD
and interoperate with native counter-parts modulo the differences in
pulseaudio versions.
