processes match the given criteria. Since revision 1.60 of malloc.c,
malloc() and friends return an invalid pointer when given a size of 0.
kvm_getprocs() uses sysctl() with a NULL oldp argument to get an
initial size, but does not check whether it's 0 before passing it to
realloc() (via _kvm_realloc()). Before the aforementioned malloc()
change, this resulted in a minimal allocation made and a valid poitner
returned, but now results in an invalid, but non-NULL, pointer being
returned. When this is passed to sysctl(), the latter returns EFAULT
(as it should).

o Universally update code so that it makes use of ucred instead of pcred,
p->p_ucred instead of p->p_pcred, cr_ruidinfo instead of p_uidinfo,

o Remove pcred0 and its initialization from init_main.c; initialize

o Restruction many credential modification chunks to always crdup while
we figure out locking and optimizations; generally speaking, this
means moving to a structure like this:
newcred = crdup(oldcred);
...
p->p_ucred = newcred;
crfree(oldcred);
It's not race-free, but better than nothing. There are also races
in sys_process.c, all inter-process authorization, fork, exec, and
exit.
o Remove sigio->sio_ruid since sigio->sio_ucred now contains the ruid;
remove comments indicating that the old arrangement was a problem.
o Restructure exec1() a little to use newcred/oldcred arrangement, and
use improved uid management primitives.
o Clean up exit1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup due to
pcred removal.
o Clean up fork1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup and
allocation.
o Clean up ktrcanset() to take into account changes, and move to using
suser_xxx() instead of performing a direct uid==0 comparision.
o Improve commenting in various kern_prot.c credential modification
calls to better document current behavior. In a couple of places,
current behavior is a little questionable and we need to check
POSIX.1 to make sure it's "right". More commenting work still
remains to be done.
o Update credential management calls, such as crfree(), to take into
account new ruidinfo reference.
o Modify or add the following uid and gid helper routines:
change_euid()
change_egid()
change_ruid()
change_rgid()
change_svuid()
change_svgid()
In each case, the call now acts on a credential not a process, and as
such no longer requires more complicated process locking/etc. They
now assume the caller will do any necessary allocation of an
exclusive credential reference. Each is commented to document its
reference requirements.
o CANSIGIO() is simplified to require only credentials, not processes
and pcreds.
o Remove lots of (p_pcred==NULL) checks.
o Add an XXX to authorization code in nfs_lock.c, since it's
questionable, and needs to be considered carefully.
o Simplify posix4 authorization code to require only credentials, not
processes and pcreds. Note that this authorization, as well as
CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled
by the centralized routines, as well as being inconsistent with other
similar authorization instances.
o Update libkvm to take these changes into account.

sysctls exporting swap information. When running on a live kernel,
the sysctl's will now be used instead of kvm_read, allowing consumers of
this interface to run without privilege (setgid kmem). Retain the
ability to run on coredumps, or on a kernel using kmem if explicitly
pointed at one.
A side effect of this change is that kvm_getswapinfo() is faster now in
the general case. If the SWIF_DUMP_TREE flag is given (pstat -ss does
this), the radix tree walker, which still uses kvm_read in any case, is
invoked, and therefore does require privilege.

programs using setproctitle from coredumping if the kernel VM is increased,
and stops libkvm users (w, ps, etc) from needing to be recompiled if only
the VM layout changes.
