the jail check and the MAC socket labeling in socreate(). This handles
socket creation using a cached credential better (such as in the NFS
client code when rebuilding a socket following a disconnect: the new
socket should be created using the nfsmount cached cred, not the cred
of the thread causing the socket to be rebuilt).

If IO_NOMACCHECK is set, bypass MAC checks in vn_rdwr(). This allows
vn_rdwr() to be used as a utility function inside of file systems
where MAC checks have already been performed, or where the operation
is being done on behalf of the kernel not the user.

enabled and the kernel provides the MAC registration and entry point
service. Declare a dependency on that module service for any
MAC module registered using mac_policy.h. For now, hard code the
version as 1, but once we've come up with a versioning policy, we'll
move to a #define of some sort. In the mean time, this will prevent
loading a MAC module when 'options MAC' isn't present, which (due to
a bug in the kernel linker) can result if the MAC module is preloaded
via loader.conf.

- Make getvfsbyname() take a struct xvfsconf *.
- Convert several consumers of getvfsbyname() to use struct xvfsconf.
- Correct the getvfsbyname.3 manpage.
- Create a new vfs.conflist sysctl to dump all the struct xvfsconf in the
kernel, and rewrite getvfsbyname() to use this instead of the weird
existing API.
- Convert some {set,get,end}vfsent() consumers to use the new vfs.conflist
sysctl.
- Convert a vfsload() call in nfsiod.c to kldload() and remove the useless
vfsisloadable() and endvfsent() calls.
- Add a warning printf() in vfs_sysctl() to tell people they are using
an old userland.
After these changes, it's possible to modify struct vfsconf without
breaking the binary compatibility. Please note that these changes don't
break this compatibility either.
When bp will have updated mount_smbfs(8) with the patch I sent him, there
will be no more consumers of the {set,get,end}vfsent(), vfsisloadable()
and vfsload() API, and I will promptly delete it.
sysctl_sysctl_next() to skip this sysctl. The sysctl is
still available, but doesn't appear in a "sysctl -a".
This is especially useful when you want to deprecate a sysctl,
and add a warning into it to warn users that they are using
an old interface. Without this flag, the warning would get
echoed when running "sysctl -a" (which happens at boot).

rather than the credentials of the process generating the accounting

securelevel scenarios, and in some NFS environments.

the initproc credential from the proc0 credential. Otherwise, the
proc0 credential is used instead of initproc's credentil when authorizing
start_init() activities prior to initproc hitting userland for the
first time. This could result in the incorrect credential being used
to authorize mounting of the root file system, which could in turn cause
problems for NFS when used in combination with uid/gid ipfw rules, or
with MAC.

about calls to SYSCTL_OUT() made with locks held if the buffer has not
been pre-wired. SYSCTL_OUT() should not be called while holding locks,
but if this is not possible, the buffer should be wired by calling
sysctl_wire_old_buffer() before grabbing any locks.

This might suggest some kind of problem (either insufficient locking,
or mishandling of priorities) in the poll_idle thread.
- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

linker_load_module() instead.
This fixes a bug where the kernel was unable to properly locate and
load a kernel module in vfs_mount() (and probably in the netgraph
code as well since it was using the same function). This is because
the linker_load_file() does not properly search the module path.
