Hook up various policy modules to the kernel build.
Note that a number of these modules require futher entry point commits
in the remainder of the kernel to become fully functional, but enough
of the pieces are in place to allow experimentation.
Note also that it would be desirable to not build the mac_*.ko modules
if 'options MAC' is not defined in the kernel configuration, because
the resulting modules are not useful without the kernel option. There
doesn't appear to be precedent for a way to do this -- for example,
we allow ipfw.ko to be built even if 'options NETINET' isn't defined.
Suggests welcomed on the "best" way to do this.

Provide implementations of some sample operating system security
policy extensions. These are not yet hooked up to the build as
other infrastructure is still being committed. Most of these
work fairly well and are in daily use in our development and (limited)
production environments. Some are not yet in their final form,
and a number of the labeled policies waste a lot of kernel memory
and will be fixed over the next month or so to be more conservative.
They do give good examples of the flexibility of the MAC framework
for implementing a variety of security policies.
mac_biba: Implementation of fixed-label Biba integrity policy,
similar to those found in a number of commercial
trusted operating systems. All subjects and objects
are assigned integrity levels, and information flow
is controlled based on a read-up, write-down
policy. Currently, purely hierarchal.
mac_bsdextended: Implementation of a "file system firewall",
which allows the administrator to specify a series
of rules limiting access by users and groups to
objects owned by other users and groups. This
policy is unlabeled, relying on existing system
security labeling (file permissions/ownership,
process credentials).
mac_ifoff: Secure interface silencing. Special-purpose module
to limit inappropriate out-going network traffic
for silent monitoring scenarios. Prevents the
various network stacks from generating any output
despite an interface being live for reception.
mac_mls: Implementation of fixed-label Multi-Level Security
confidentiality policy, similar to those found in
a number of commercial trusted operating systems.
All subjects and objects are assigned confidentiality
levels, and information flow is controlled based on
a write-up, read-down policy. Currently, purely
hiearchal, although non-hierarchal support is in the
works.
mac_none: Policy module implementing all MAC policy entry
points with empty stubs. A good place to start if
you want all the prototypes types in for you, and
don't mind a bit of pruning. Can be loaded, but
has no access control impact. Useful also for

of specific groups, etc. This policy is unlabeled,
relying on existing system security labeling

vm_page_sleep_busy() with vm_page_sleep_if_busy(). At the same time,
increase the scope of the page queues lock. (This should significantly
reduce the locking overhead in vm_object_page_remove().)
o Apply some style fixes.
swapped in, we do not have to ask for the scheduler thread to do
that.
- Assert that a process is not swapped out in runq functions and
swapout().
- Introduce thread_safetoswapout() for readability.
- In swapout_procs(), perform a test that may block (check of a
thread working on its vm map) first. This lets us call swapout()
with the sched_lock held, providing a better atomicity.
conventions for _mcount and __cyg_profile_func_enter are different, so
statistical profiling kernels build and link but don't actually work.
IWBNI one could tell gcc to only generate calls to the former.
Define uintfptr_t properly for userland, but not for the kernel (I hope).
