1b405df8ba Revisit the capability failure trace points. The initial implementation
only logged instances where an operation on a file descriptor required
capabilities which the file descriptor did not have.  By adding a type enum
to struct ktr_cap_fail, we can catch other types of capability failures as
well, such as disallowed system calls or attempts to wrap a file descriptor
with more capabilities than it had to begin with.

f63d2e9205 Allow Capsicum capabilities to delegate constrained
access to file system subtrees to sandboxed processes.

- Use of absolute paths and '..' are limited in capability mode.
- Use of absolute paths and '..' are limited when looking up relative
  to a capability.
- When a name lookup is performed, identify what operation is to be
  performed (such as CAP_MKDIR) as well as check for CAP_LOOKUP.

With these constraints, openat() and friends are now safe in capability
mode, and can then be used by code such as the capability-mode runtime
linker.

4af919b491 Second-to-last commit implementing Capsicum capabilities in the FreeBSD
kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:

Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *.  With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.

Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.

In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.

Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

d4890c88b0 Add dedicated routines to toggle lockmgr flags such as LK_NOSHARE and
LK_CANRECURSE after a lock is created.  Use them to implement macros that
otherwise manipulated the flags directly.  Assert that the associated
lockmgr lock is exclusively locked by the current thread when manipulating
these flags to ensure the flag updates are safe.  This last change required
some minor shuffling in a few filesystems to exclusively lock a brand new
vnode slightly earlier.

ae136aabf0 Let vfs_lookup() return ENOTDIR if the path has a trailing slash and
the last component is a symlink to something that isn't a directory.

We introduce a new namei flag, TRAILINGSLASH, which is set by lookup()
if the last component is followed by a slash.  The trailing slash is
then stripped, as before.  If the final component is a symlink,
lookup() will return to namei(), which will expand the symlink and
call lookup() with the new path.  When all symlinks have been
resolved, lookup() checks if the TRAILINGSLASH flag is set, and if it
is, and the vnode it ended up with is not a directory, it returns
ENOTDIR.

a013e0afcb Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails.  Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less.  Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system.  Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().

Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings.  The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system
call.

1dcb84131b Remove the thread argument from the FSD (File-System Dependent) parts of

context as long as it always refers to curthread.

In some points, in particular when dealing with VOPs and functions living
in the same namespace (eg. vflush) which still need to be converted,
pass curthread explicitly in order to retain the old behaviour.
Such loose ends will be fixed ASAP.

While here fix a bug: now, UFS_EXTATTR can be compiled alone without the
UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART option.

520acdaf69 Add a new internal mount flag (MNTK_EXTENDED_SHARED) to indicate that a
filesystem supports additional operations using shared vnode locks.
Currently this is used to enable shared locks for open() and close() of
read-only file descriptors.
- When an ISOPEN namei() request is performed with LOCKSHARED, use a
  shared vnode lock for the leaf vnode only if the mount point has the
  extended shared flag set.
- Set LOCKSHARED in vn_open_cred() for requests that specify O_RDONLY but
  not O_CREAT.
- Use a shared vnode lock around VOP_CLOSE() if the file was opened with
  O_RDONLY and the mountpoint has the extended shared flag set.
- Adjust md(4) to upgrade the vnode lock on the vnode it gets back from
  vn_open() since it now may only have a shared vnode lock.
- Don't enable shared vnode locks on FIFO vnodes in ZFS and UFS since
  FIFO's require exclusive vnode locks for their open() and close()
  routines.  (My recent MPSAFE patches for UDF and cd9660 already included
  this change.)
- Enable extended shared operations on UFS, cd9660, and UDF.

	can select from one of three failure modes:
	- panic - panic on write error
	- wait - wait for disk to reappear
	- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests

- Refquota, refreservation properties

	Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
	by children file systems, clones and snapshots.

- Sparse volumes

	ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.

e1f493235e Improve VFS locking:
- Implement real draining for vfs consumers by not relying on the
  mnt_lock and using instead a refcount in order to keep track of lock
  requesters.
- Due to the change above, remove the mnt_lock lockmgr because it is now
  useless.
- Due to the change above, vfs_busy() is no more linked to a lockmgr.
  Change so its KPI by removing the interlock argument and defining 2 new
  flags for it: MBF_NOWAIT which basically replaces the LK_NOWAIT of the
  old version (which was unlinked from the lockmgr alredy) and
  MBF_MNTLSTLOCK which provides the ability to drop the mountlist_mtx
  once the mnt interlock is held (ability still desired by most consumers).
- The stub used into vfs_mount_destroy(), that allows to override the
  mnt_ref if running for more than 3 seconds, make it totally useless.
  Remove it as it was thought to work into older versions.
  If a problem of "refcount held never going away" should appear, we will
  need to fix properly instead than trust on such hackish solution.
- Fix a bug where returning (with an error) from dounmount() was still
  leaving the MNTK_MWAIT flag on even if it the waiters were actually
  woken up. Just a place in vfs_mount_destroy() is left because it is
  going to recycle the structure in any case, so it doesn't matter.
- Remove the markercnt refcount as it is useless.

This patch modifies VFS ABI and breaks KPI for vfs_busy() so manpages and
__FreeBSD_version will be modified accordingly.

765a83fd79 Replace custom file descriptor array sleep lock constructed using a mutex
and flags with an sxlock.  This leads to a significant and measurable
performance improvement as a result of access to shared locking for
frequent lookup operations, reduced general overhead, and reduced overhead
in the event of contention.  All of these are imported for threaded
applications where simultaneous access to a shared file descriptor array
occurs frequently.  Kris has reported 2x-4x transaction rate improvements
on 8-core MySQL benchmarks; smaller improvements can be expected for many
workloads as a result of reduced overhead.

- Generally eliminate the distinction between "fast" and regular
  acquisisition of the filedesc lock; the plan is that they will now all
  be fast.  Change all locking instances to either shared or exclusive
  locks.

- Correct a bug (pointed out by kib) in fdfree() where previously msleep()
  was called without the mutex held; sx_sleep() is now always called with
  the sxlock held exclusively.

- Universally hold the struct file lock over changes to struct file,
  rather than the filedesc lock or no lock.  Always update the f_ops
  field last. A further memory barrier is required here in the future
  (discussed with jhb).

- Improve locking and reference management in linux_at(), which fails to
  properly acquire vnode references before using vnode pointers.  Annotate
  improper use of vn_fullpath(), which will be replaced at a future date.

In fcntl(), we conservatively acquire an exclusive lock, even though in
some cases a shared lock may be sufficient, which should be revisited.
The dropping of the filedesc lock in fdgrowtable() is no longer required
as the sxlock can be held over the sleep operation; we should consider
removing that (pointed out by attilio).

79752b63e1 Below is slightly edited description of the LOR by Tor Egge:
--------------------------
[Deadlock] is caused by a lock order reversal in vfs_lookup(), where
[some] process is trying to lock a directory vnode, that is the parent
directory of covered vnode) while holding an exclusive vnode lock on
covering vnode.

A simplified scenario:

root fs					var fs
/    		A			/    (/var)	D
/var		B			/log (/var/log) E
vfs lock	C			vfs lock	F

Within each file system, the lock order is clear: C->A->B and F->D->E

When traversing across mounts, the system can choose between two lock orders,
but everything must then follow that lock order:

      L1: C->A->B
		|
	        +->F->D->E

      L2: F->D->E
	     |
             +->C->A->B

The lookup() process for namei("/var") mixes those two lock orders:

    VOP_LOOKUP() obtains B while A is held
    vfs_busy() obtains a shared lock on F while A and B are held (follows L1,
    violates L2)
    vput() releases lock on B
    VOP_UNLOCK() releases lock on A
    VFS_ROOT() obtains lock on D while shared lock on F is held
    vfs_unbusy() releases shared lock on F
    vn_lock() obtains lock on A while D is held (violates L1, follows L2)

dounmount() follows L1 (B is locked while F is drained).

Without unmount activity, vfs_busy() will always succeed without blocking
and the deadlock isn't triggered (the system behaves as if L2 is followed).

With unmount, you can get 4 processes in a deadlock:

     p1: holds D, want A (in lookup())
     p2: holds shared lock on F, want D (in VFS_ROOT())
     p3: holds B, want drain lock on F (in dounmount())
     p4: holds A, want B (in VOP_LOOKUP())

You can have more than one instance of p2.

The reversal was introduced in revision 1.81 of src/sys/kern/vfs_lookup.c and
MFCed to revision 1.80.2.1, probably to avoid a cascade of vnode locks when nfs
servers are dead (VFS_ROOT() just hangs) spreading to the root fs root vnode.

- Tor Egge

To fix the LOR, ups@ noted that when crossing the mount point, ni_dvp
is actually not used by the callers of namei. Thus, placeholder deadfs

7beaaf5cd2 Complete break-out of sys/sys/mac.h into sys/security/mac/mac_framework.h
begun with a repo-copy of mac.h to mac_framework.h.  sys/mac.h now
contains the userspace and user<->kernel API and definitions, with all
in-kernel interfaces moved to mac_framework.h, which is now included
across most of the kernel instead.

This change is the first step in a larger cleanup and sweep of MAC
Framework interfaces in the kernel, and will not be MFC'd.

21daa650a9 Fixes up the handling of shared vnode lock lookups in the NFS client,
adds a FS type specific flag indicating that the FS supports shared
vnode lock lookups, adds some logic in vfs_lookup.c to test this flag
and set lock flags appropriately.

- amd on 6.x is a non-starter (without this change). Using amd under
  heavy load results in a deadlock (with cascading vnode locks all the
  way to the root) very quickly.
- This change should also fix the more general problem of cascading
  vnode deadlocks when an NFS server goes down.

Ideally, we wouldn't need these changes, as enabling shared vnode lock
lookups globally would work. Unfortunately, UFS, for example isn't
ready for shared vnode lock lookups, crashing pretty quickly.

This change is the result of discussions with Stephan Uphoff (ups@).
