This change avoids undesirably passing some internal file descriptors to a

Kernel support for SOCK_CLOEXEC was added in r248534, March 19, 2013.
Austin Group issue #411 requires 'e' to be accepted before and after 'x',
and encourages accepting the characters in any order, except the initial
'r', 'w' or 'a'.
Given that glibc accepts the characters after r/w/a in any order and that
diagnosing this problem may be hard, change our libc to behave that way as
well.
These are weak and so can be replaced by other versions in applications
that choose to do so, and will give a linker warning when used so that
applications that rely on the extra precision can avoid them.
Note that since the C/C++ specs only guarantee that long double has
precision equal to double, code that actually relies on these functions
having greater precision is unportable at best and broken at worst.
in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.

As mentioned in r16117 and the book "Advanced Programming in the Unix
Environment" by W. Richard Stevens, we should ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT
before forking, since it is not guaranteed that the parent process starts
running soon enough.
To avoid calling sigaction() in the vforked child, instead block SIGINT and
SIGQUIT before vfork() and keep the sigaction() to ignore after vfork(). The
FreeBSD kernel discards ignored signals, even if they are blocked;
therefore, it is not necessary to unblock SIGINT and SIGQUIT earlier.
This ensures strerror() and friends continue to work correctly even if a

current value of sys_nerr and may access past the bounds of the array.

and CIFS file attributes as BSD stat(2) flags.
This work is intended to be compatible with ZFS, the Solaris CIFS
server's interaction with ZFS, somewhat compatible with MacOS X,
and of course compatible with Windows.
The Windows attributes that are implemented were chosen based on
the attributes that ZFS already supports.
The summary of the flags is as follows:
UF_SYSTEM: Command line name: "system" or "usystem"
ZFS name: XAT_SYSTEM, ZFS_SYSTEM
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM
This flag means that the file is used by the
operating system. FreeBSD does not enforce any
special handling when this flag is set.
UF_SPARSE: Command line name: "sparse" or "usparse"
ZFS name: XAT_SPARSE, ZFS_SPARSE
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SPARSE_FILE
This flag means that the file is sparse. Although
ZFS may modify this in some situations, there is
not generally any special handling for this flag.
UF_OFFLINE: Command line name: "offline" or "uoffline"
ZFS name: XAT_OFFLINE, ZFS_OFFLINE
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE
This flag means that the file has been moved to
offline storage. FreeBSD does not have any special
handling for this flag.
UF_REPARSE: Command line name: "reparse" or "ureparse"
ZFS name: XAT_REPARSE, ZFS_REPARSE
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT
This flag means that the file is a Windows reparse
point. ZFS has special handling code for reparse
points, but we don't currently have the other
supporting infrastructure for them.
UF_HIDDEN: Command line name: "hidden" or "uhidden"
ZFS name: XAT_HIDDEN, ZFS_HIDDEN
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN
This flag means that the file may be excluded from
a directory listing if the application honors it.
FreeBSD has no special handling for this flag.
The name and bit definition for UF_HIDDEN are
identical to the definition in MacOS X.
UF_READONLY: Command line name: "urdonly", "rdonly", "readonly"
ZFS name: XAT_READONLY, ZFS_READONLY
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
This flag means that the file may not written or
appended, but its attributes may be changed.
ZFS currently enforces this flag, but Illumos
developers have discussed disabling enforcement.
The behavior of this flag is different than MacOS X.
MacOS X uses UF_IMMUTABLE to represent the DOS
readonly permission, but that flag has a stronger
meaning than the semantics of DOS readonly permissions.
UF_ARCHIVE: Command line name: "uarch", "uarchive"
ZFS_NAME: XAT_ARCHIVE, ZFS_ARCHIVE
Windows name: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE
The UF_ARCHIVED flag means that the file has changed and
needs to be archived. The meaning is same as
the Windows FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE attribute, and
the ZFS XAT_ARCHIVE and ZFS_ARCHIVE attribute.
msdosfs and ZFS have special handling for this flag.
i.e. they will set it when the file changes.

Different filesystems behave differently
with respect to flags, so warn the

zfs_vnops.c: Add support for getting and setting the
UF_ARCHIVE, UF_READONLY, UF_SYSTEM, UF_HIDDEN,
UF_REPARSE, UF_OFFLINE, and UF_SPARSE flags.
All of these flags are implemented using
attributes that ZFS already supports, so
the on-disk format has not changed.
ZFS currently doesn't allow setting the
UF_REPARSE flag, and we don't really have
the other infrastructure to support reparse
points.
msdosfs_denode.c,
msdosfs_vnops.c: Add support for getting and setting
UF_HIDDEN, UF_SYSTEM and UF_READONLY
in MSDOSFS.
It supported SF_ARCHIVED, but this has been
changed to be UF_ARCHIVE, which has the same
semantics as the DOS archive attribute instead
of inverse semantics like SF_ARCHIVED.
After discussion with Bruce Evans, change
several things in the msdosfs behavior:
Use UF_READONLY to indicate whether a file
is writeable instead of file permissions, but
don't actually enforce it.
Refuse to change attributes on the root
directory, because it is special in FAT
filesystems, but allow most other attribute
changes on directories.
Don't set the archive attribute on a directory
when its modification time is updated.
Windows and DOS don't set the archive attribute
in that scenario, so we are now bug-for-bug
compatible.
smbfs_node.c,
smbfs_vnops.c: Add support for UF_HIDDEN, UF_SYSTEM,
UF_READONLY and UF_ARCHIVE in SMBFS.
This is similar to changes that Apple has
made in their version of SMBFS (as of
smb-583.8, posted on opensource.apple.com),
but not quite the same.
We map SMB_FA_READONLY to UF_READONLY,
because UF_READONLY is intended to match
the semantics of the DOS readonly flag.
The MacOS X code maps both UF_IMMUTABLE
and SF_IMMUTABLE to SMB_FA_READONLY, but
the immutable flags have stronger meaning
than the DOS readonly bit.
stat.h: Add definitions for UF_SYSTEM, UF_SPARSE,
UF_OFFLINE, UF_REPARSE, UF_ARCHIVE, UF_READONLY
and UF_HIDDEN.
The definition of UF_HIDDEN is the same as
the MacOS X definition.
Add commented-out definitions of
UF_COMPRESSED and UF_TRACKED. They are
defined in MacOS X (as of 10.8.2), but we
do not implement them (yet).
ufs_vnops.c: Add support for getting and setting
UF_ARCHIVE, UF_HIDDEN, UF_OFFLINE, UF_READONLY,
UF_REPARSE, UF_SPARSE, and UF_SYSTEM in UFS.
Alphabetize the flags that are supported.
These new flags are only stored, UFS does
not take any action if the flag is set.

Requests for n >= number of bits in a pointer or less than the size of

- MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER is a special case of MAP_ALIGNED. It can be used
to optimize the chances of using large pages. By default it will align
the mapping on a large page boundary (the system is free to choose any
large page size to align to that seems best for the mapping request).
However, if the object being mapped is already using large pages, then
it will align the virtual mapping to match the existing large pages in
the object instead.
- Internally, VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE is now renamed to VMFS_SUPER_SPACE, and
VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE(n) is repurposed for specifying a specific alignment.
MAP_ALIGNED(n) maps to using VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE(n), while
MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER maps to VMFS_SUPER_SPACE.
- mmap() of a device object now uses VMFS_OPTIMAL_SPACE rather than
explicitly using VMFS_SUPER_SPACE. All device objects are forced to

- Always free to the alloc bucket if there is space. This gives LIFO
allocation order to improve hot-cache performance. This also allows
for zones with a single bucket per-cpu rather than a pair if the entire
working set fits in one bucket.
- Enable per-cpu caches of buckets. To prevent recursive bucket
allocation one bucket zone still has per-cpu caches disabled.
- Pick the initial bucket size based on a table driven maximum size
per-bucket rather than the number of items per-page. This gives
more sane initial sizes.
- Only grow the bucket size when we face contention on the zone lock, this
causes bucket sizes to grow more slowly.
- Adjust the number of items per-bucket to account for the header space.
This packs the buckets more efficiently per-page while making them
not quite powers of two.
- Eliminate the per-zone free bucket list. Always return buckets back
to the bucket zone. This ensures that as zones grow into larger
bucket sizes they eventually discard the smaller sizes. It persists
fewer buckets in the system. The locking is slightly trickier.
- Only switch buckets in zalloc, not zfree, this eliminates pathological
cases where we ping-pong between two buckets.
- Ensure that the thread that fills a new bucket gets to allocate from
it to give a better upper bound on allocation time.

real shared object and libssp_nonshared.a.
This was the last showstopper that prevented from enabling SSP for ports
by default. portmgr@ performed a buildworld which showed no significant
breakage with this patch.
Details:
On i386 for PIC objects, gcc uses the __stack_chk_fail_local hidden
symbol instead of calling __stack_chk_fail directly [1]. This happen
not only with our gcc-4.2.1 but also with the latest gcc-4.8. If you
want the very nasty details, see [2].
OTOH the problem doesn't exist on other architectures. It also doesn't
exist with Clang as the latter will somehow manage to create the
function in the object file at compile time (contrary to only
referencing it through a symbol that will be brought in at link time).
In a perfect world, when an object file is compiled with
-fstack-protector, it will be linked into a binary or a DSO with this
same flag as well, so GCC will add libssp_nonshared.a to the linker
command-line. Unfortunately, we don't control softwares in ports and we
may have such broken DSO. This is the whole point of this patch.
You can reproduce the problem on i386 by compiling a source file into an
object file with "-fstack-protector-all -fPIE" and linking it
into a binary without "-fstack-protector".
This ld script automatically proposes libssp_nonshared.a along with the
real libc DSO to the linker. It is important to understand that the
object file contained in this library will be pulled in the resulting
binary _only if_ the linker notices one of its symbols is needed (i.e.
one of the SSP symbol is missing).
A theorical performance impact could be when compiling, but my testing
showed less than 0.1% of difference.
[1] For 32-bit code gcc saves the PIC register setup by using
__stack_chk_fail_local hidden function instead of calling
__stack_chk_fail directly. See comment line 19460 in:
src/contrib/gcc/config/i386/i386.c
[2] When compiling a source file to an object file, if you use something
which is external to the compilation unit, GCC doesn't know yet if
this symbol will be inside or outside the DSO. So it expects the
worst case and routes the symbol through the GOT, which means
additional space and extra relocation for rtld(1).
Declaring a symbol has hidden tells GCC to use the optimal route (no
GOT), but on the other hand this means the symbol has to be provided
in the same DSO (namely libssp_nonshared.a).
On i386, GCC actually uses an hidden symbol for SSP in PIC objects
to save PIC register setup, as said in [1].

Based on r134760:
Reset the seek pointer to 0 when a file is successfully opened,
since otherwise the initial seek offset will contain the directory
offset of the filesystem block that contained its directory entry.
This bug was mostly harmless because typically the directory is
less than one filesystem block in size so the offset would be zero.
It did however generally break loading a kernel from the (large)
kernel compile directory.
Also reset the seek pointer when a new inode is opened in read_inode(),
though this is not actually necessary now because all callers set
it afterwards.

Store/restore the VFP registers in setjmp/longjmp on ARM EABI if VFP is
enabled in the kernel. It checks the hw.floatingpoint sysctl to see if
floating-point is available and uses this to determine if it should store
them. If it does it uses a different magic value so longjmp is able to know
if it should load them.
