The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

Linux specific things to the native fdescfs file system.
Unlike FreeBSD, the Linux fdescfs is a directory containing a symbolic
links to the actual files, which the process has open.
A readlink(2) call on this file returns a full path in case of regular file
or a string in a special format (type:[inode], anon_inode:<file-type>, etc..).
As well as in a FreeBSD, opening the file in the Linux fdescfs directory is
equivalent to duplicating the corresponding file descriptor.
Here we have mutually exclusive requirements:
- in case of readlink(2) call fdescfs lookup() method should return VLNK
vnode otherwise our kern_readlink() fail with EINVAL error;
- in the other calls fdescfs lookup() method should return non VLNK vnode.
For what new vnode v_flag VV_READLINK was added, which is set if fdescfs has beed
mounted with linrdlnk option an modified kern_readlinkat() to properly handle it.
For now For Linux ABI compatibility mount fdescfs volume with linrdlnk option:
mount -t fdescfs -o linrdlnk null /compat/linux/dev/fd

Provide a new mode "2" which returns a special overflow indicator in

inode number or link count for the ABI compat binaries.
Right now, and by default after the change, too large 64bit values are
silently truncated to 32 bits. Enabling the knob causes the system to
return EOVERFLOW for stat(2) family of compat syscalls when some
values cannot be completely represented by the old structures. For
getdirentries(2), knob skips the dirents which would cause non-trivial
truncation of d_ino.
EOVERFLOW error is specified by the X/Open 1996 LFS document
('Adding Support for Arbitrary File Sizes to the Single UNIX
Specification').
Based on the discussion with: bde
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

If dotdot lookup does not escape from the file descriptor passed as
the lookup root, we can allow the component traversal. Track the
directories traversed, and check the result of dotdot lookup against
the recorded list of the directory vnodes.
Dotdot lookups are enabled by sysctl vfs.lookup_cap_dotdot, currently
disabled by default until more verification of the approach is done.
Disallow non-local filesystems for dotdot, since remote server might
conspire with the local process to allow it to escape the namespace.
This might be too cautious, provide the knob
vfs.lookup_cap_dotdot_nonlocal to override as well.

of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED so that it causes the backing pages to be moved to
the head of the inactive queue instead of being cached.
This affects the implementation of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE as well, since it
works by applying POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to file ranges after they have been
read or written. At that point the corresponding buffers may still be
dirty, so the previous implementation would coalesce successive ranges and
apply POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to the result, ensuring that pages backing the
dirty buffers would eventually be cached. To preserve this behaviour in an
efficient manner, this change adds a new buf flag, B_NOREUSE, which causes
the pages backing a VMIO buf to be placed at the head of the inactive queue
when the buf is released. POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE then works by setting this
flag in bufs that underlie the specified range.
