protocol to the socket. Normally protocol references are weak: that is,
the socket layer can tear down the socket (and hence protocol state)
when it finds convenient. This flag will allow the protocol to
explicitly declare to the socket layer that it is maintaining a
strong reference, rather than the current implicit model associated
with so_pcb pointer values and repeated attempts to possibly free the
socket.
if the target is a fifo. After opening a trace file, check that it is a
regular file, and if not, return an error.

rather than panicking later. This can occur if the kernel calls
vn_open() on a fifo, as there will be no associated file descriptor,
and therefore the file descriptor operations cannot be modified to
point to the fifo operation set.

Previously, we tried to allow this only for root. However, we were calling
suser() on the *target* process rather than the current process. This
means that if you can ptrace() a process running as root you can set a
hardware watch point in the kernel. In practice I think you probably have
to be root in order to pass the p_candebug() checks in ptrace() to attach
to a process running as root anyway. Rather than fix the suser(), I just
axed the entire idea, as I can't think of any good reason _at all_ for
userland to set hardware watch points for KVM.

Also thinks hardware watch points on KVM from userland are bad: bde, rwatson
processing, this actually means there's a double slash recorded in the
symbolic link's path name. We used to start over from / then, which
caused link targets like ../../bsdi.1.0/include//pathnames.h to be
interpreted as /pathnahes.h. This is both contradictionary to our
conventional slash interpretation, as well as potentially dangerous.
The right thing to do is (obviously) to just ignore that element.
bde once pointed out that mistake when he noticed it on the
4.4BSD-Lite2 CD-ROM, and asked me for help.

specified, the rightmost option takes effect." Fix code to obey
this. This makes e.g. "mount -r /usr" or "mount -ar" actually
mount file systems read-only.
