general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

disablement assumptions in kern_fork.c by adding another API call,
cpu_critical_fork_exit(). Cleanup the td_savecrit field by moving it
from MI to MD. Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from <arch>/include/cpufunc.h
to <arch>/<arch>/critical.c (stage-2 will clean this up).
Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain
enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug,
and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement.
This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized,
and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things.
This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways. This should
be temporary.

Move the network code from using cr_cansee() to check whether a
socket is visible to a requesting credential to using a new
function, cr_canseesocket(), which accepts a subject credential
and object socket. Implement cr_canseesocket() so that it does a
prison check, a uid check, and add a comment where shortly a MAC
hook will go. This will allow MAC policies to seperately
instrument the visibility of sockets from the visibility of

There appears to be one case where NULL is explicitly passed in in the

a new cr_seeotheruids(u1, u2) function, which encapsulates the

jail security check for all of {debug,sched,see,signal} inter-process

fully protect p_ucred yet so Giant is needed until all the p_ucred
locking is done. This is the original reason td_ucred was not used
immediately after its addition. Unfortunately, not using td_ucred is
not enough to avoid problems. Since p_ucred could be stale, we could
actually be dereferencing a stale pointer to dink with the refcount, so
we really need Giant to avoid foot-shooting. This allows td_ucred to
be safely used as well.
spares (the size of the field was changed from u_short to u_int to
reflect what it really ends up being). Accordingly, change users of
xucred to set and check this field as appropriate. In the kernel,
this is being done inside the new cru2x() routine which takes a
`struct ucred' and fills out a `struct xucred' according to the
former. This also has the pleasant sideaffect of removing some
duplicate code.

New locks are:
- pgrpsess_lock which locks the whole pgrps and sessions,
- pg_mtx which protects the pgrp members, and
- s_mtx which protects the session members.
Please refer to sys/proc.h for the coverage of these locks.
Changes on the pgrp/session interface:
- pgfind() needs the pgrpsess_lock held.
- The caller of enterpgrp() is responsible to allocate a new pgrp and
session.
- Call enterthispgrp() in order to enter an existing pgrp.
- pgsignal() requires a pgrp lock held.

This will permit the same logic to be reused in situations where only

- Because of two clauses, the automatic success against curproc,
and the session semantics for SIGCONT, not all logic can be pushed
into cr_cansignal(), but those cases should not apply for most other
consumers of cr_cansignal().

of Giant during the Giant unwinding phase, and start work on instrumenting
Giant for the file and proc mutexes.
These wrappers allow developers to turn on and off Giant around various
subsystems. DEVELOPERS SHOULD NEVER TURN OFF GIANT AROUND A SUBSYSTEM JUST
BECAUSE THE SYSCTL EXISTS! General developers should only considering
turning on Giant for a subsystem whos default is off (to help track down
bugs). Only developers working on particular subsystems who know what
they are doing should consider turning off Giant.
These wrappers will greatly improve our ability to unwind Giant and test
the kernel on a (mostly) subsystem by subsystem basis. They allow Giant
unwinding developers (GUDs) to emplace appropriate subsystem and structural
mutexes in the main tree and then request that the larger community test
the work by turning off Giant around the subsystem(s), without the larger
community having to mess around with patches. These wrappers also allow
GUDs to boot into a (more likely to be) working system in the midst of
their unwinding work and to test that work under more controlled
circumstances.
There is a master sysctl, kern.giant.all, which defaults to 0 (off). If
turned on it overrides *ALL* other kern.giant sysctls and forces Giant to
be turned on for all wrapped subsystems. If turned off then Giant around
individual subsystems are controlled by various other kern.giant.XXX sysctls.
Code which overlaps multiple subsystems must have all related subsystem Giant
sysctls turned off in order to run without Giant.

- Remove prison_unpcb() and make use of cr_cansee() against the UNIX
domain socket credential instead of comparing root vnodes for the
UDS and the process. This allows multiple jails to share the same

- Remove unused socheckproc().
Now that cr_cansee() is used universally for socket visibility, a variety
of policies are more consistently enforced, including uid-based
restrictions and jail-based restrictions. This also better-supports
the introduction of additional MAC models.
