syscalls themselves are tightly coupled with the network stack and
therefore should not be in the generic socket code.
The following four syscalls have been marked as NOSTD so they can be
dynamically registered in sctp_syscalls_init() function:
sys_sctp_peeloff
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov
sys_sctp_generic_recvmsg
The syscalls are also set up to be dynamically registered when COMPAT32

As a side effect of moving the SCTP syscalls, getsock_cap needs to be
made available outside of the uipc_syscalls.c source file. A proper

Make it really work for native FreeBSD programs. Before this it was broken
for years due to different number of pointer dereferences in Linux and
FreeBSD IOCTL paths, permanently returning errors to FreeBSD programs.
This change breaks the driver FreeBSD IOCTL ABI, making it more strict,
but since it was not working any way -- who bother.
Add shims for 32-bit programs on 64-bit host, translating the argument
of the SG_IO IOCTL for both FreeBSD and Linux ABIs.
With this change I was able to run 32-bit Linux sg3_utils tools and simple
32 and 64-bit FreeBSD test tools on both 32 and 64-bit FreeBSD systems.

call to freebsd32_convert_msg_in() with freebsd32_copyin_control() to
readin and convert in a single step. This makes it simpler to put all
the control messages in a single mbuf or mbuf cluster as per the
limitations imposed upon us by ip6_setpktopts().
The logic is as follows:
1. Go over the array of control messages to determine overall size
and include extra padding for proper alignment as we go.
2. Get a mbuf or mbuf cluster as needed or fail if the overall
(adjusted) size is larger than a cluster.
3. Go over the array of control messages again, but now copy them
into kernel space and into aligned offsets.
4. Update the length of the control message to take padding between
the header and the data into account (but not for padding added
between one control message and the next).

amd64 it doesn't either, as register_t is already 64bits...
This will also prevent future breakage due to people adding additional

This fires off a kqueue note (of type sendfile) to the configured kqfd
when the sendfile transaction has completed and the relevant memory
backing the transaction is no longer in use by this transaction.
This is analogous to SF_SYNC waiting for the mbufs to complete -
except now you don't have to wait.
Both SF_SYNC and SF_KQUEUE should work together, even if it
doesn't necessarily make any practical sense.
This is designed for use by applications which use backing cache/store
files (eg Varnish) or POSIX shared memory (not sure anything is using
it yet!) to know when a region of memory is free for re-use. Note
it doesn't mark the region as free overall - only free from this
transaction. The application developer still needs to track which
ranges are in the process of being recycled and wait until all
pending transactions are completed.

for extending and reusing it.
The sendfile_sync wrapper is mostly just a "mbuf transaction" wrapper,
used to indicate that the backing store for a group of mbufs has completed.
It's only being used by sendfile for now and it's only implementing a
sleep/wakeup rendezvous. However, there are other potential signaling
paths (kqueue) and other potential uses (socket zero-copy write) where the
same mechanism would also be useful.
So, with that in mind:
* extract the sendfile_sync code out into sf_sync_*() methods
* teach the sf_sync_alloc method about the current config flag -
it will eventually know about kqueue.
* move the sendfile_sync code out of do_sendfile() - the only thing
it now knows about is the sfs pointer. The guts of the sync
rendezvous (setup, rendezvous/wait, free) is now done in the
syscall wrapper.
* .. and teach the 32-bit compat sendfile call the same.
This should be a no-op. It's primarily preparation work for teaching
the sendfile_sync about kqueue notification.

The freebsd32 compatibility mode (for running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit
kernels) does not currently allow any system calls in capability mode, but
still permits cap_enter(). As a result, 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels
that use capability mode do not work (they crash after being disallowed to
call sys_exit()). Affected binaries include dhclient and uniq. The latter's
crashes cause obscure build failures.
This commit makes freebsd32 cap_enter() fail with [ENOSYS], as if capability
mode was not compiled in. Applications deal with this by doing their work
without capability mode.
This commit does not fix the uncommon situation where a 64-bit process
enters capability mode and then executes a 32-bit binary using fexecve().
This commit should be reverted when allowing the necessary freebsd32 system
calls in capability mode.
