2609222ab4 Merge Capsicum overhaul:
- Capability is no longer separate descriptor type. Now every descriptor
  has set of its own capability rights.

- The cap_new(2) system call is left, but it is no longer documented and
  should not be used in new code.

- The new syscall cap_rights_limit(2) should be used instead of
  cap_new(2), which limits capability rights of the given descriptor
  without creating a new one.

- The cap_getrights(2) syscall is renamed to cap_rights_get(2).

- If CAP_IOCTL capability right is present we can further reduce allowed
  ioctls list with the new cap_ioctls_limit(2) syscall. List of allowed
  ioctls can be retrived with cap_ioctls_get(2) syscall.

- If CAP_FCNTL capability right is present we can further reduce fcntls
  that can be used with the new cap_fcntls_limit(2) syscall and retrive
  them with cap_fcntls_get(2).

- To support ioctl and fcntl white-listing the filedesc structure was
  heavly modified.

- The audit subsystem, kdump and procstat tools were updated to
  recognize new syscalls.

- Capability rights were revised and eventhough I tried hard to provide
  backward API and ABI compatibility there are some incompatible changes
  that are described in detail below:

	CAP_CREATE old behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.
	- Allow for linkat(2).
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).
	CAP_CREATE new behaviour:
	- Allow for openat(2)+O_CREAT.

	Added CAP_LINKAT:
	- Allow for linkat(2). ABI: Reuses CAP_RMDIR bit.
	- Allow to be target for renameat(2).

	Added CAP_SYMLINKAT:
	- Allow for symlinkat(2).

	Removed CAP_DELETE. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing non-directory object.
	- Allow to be source for renameat(2).

	Removed CAP_RMDIR. Old behaviour:
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) when removing directory.

	Added CAP_RENAMEAT:
	- Required for source directory for the renameat(2) syscall.

	Added CAP_UNLINKAT (effectively it replaces CAP_DELETE and CAP_RMDIR):
	- Allow for unlinkat(2) on any object.
	- Required if target of renameat(2) exists and will be removed by this
	  call.

	Removed CAP_MAPEXEC.

	CAP_MMAP old behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2) with any combination of PROT_NONE, PROT_READ and
	  PROT_WRITE.
	CAP_MMAP new behaviour:
	- Allow for mmap(2)+PROT_NONE.

	Added CAP_MMAP_R:
	- Allow for mmap(PROT_READ).
	Added CAP_MMAP_W:

	- Allow for mmap(PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC).
	Added CAP_MMAP_RWX:

	Renamed CAP_MKDIR to CAP_MKDIRAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKFIFO to CAP_MKFIFOAT.
	Renamed CAP_MKNODE to CAP_MKNODEAT.

	CAP_READ old behaviour:
	- Allow pread(2).
	- Disallow read(2), readv(2) (if there is no CAP_SEEK).
	CAP_READ new behaviour:
	- Allow read(2), readv(2).
	- Disallow pread(2) (CAP_SEEK was also required).

	CAP_WRITE old behaviour:
	- Allow pwrite(2).
	- Disallow write(2), writev(2) (if there is no CAP_SEEK).
	CAP_WRITE new behaviour:
	- Allow write(2), writev(2).

56be1b9a7a To limit amount of the kernel memory allocated, and to optimize the
iteration over the fdsets, kern_select() limits the length of the
fdsets copied in by the last valid file descriptor index. If any bit
is set in a mask above the limit, current implementation ignores the
filedescriptor, instead of returning EBADF.

Fix the issue by scanning the tails of fdset before entering the
select loop and returning EBADF if any bit above last valid
filedescriptor index is set. The performance impact of the additional
check is only imposed on the (somewhat) buggy applications that pass
bad file descriptors to select(2) or pselect(2).

patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also

psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future

6aba400a70 Fix a deficiency in the selinfo interface:
If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.

That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.

Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

a9d2f8d84f 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.

6d8fedda2c For some file types, select code registers two selfd structures. E.g.,
for socket, when specified POLLIN|POLLOUT in events, you would have one
selfd registered for receiving socket buffer, and one for sending. Now,
if both events are not ready to fire at the time of the initial scan,
but are simultaneously ready after the sleep, pollrescan() would iterate
over the pollfd struct twice. Since both times revents is not zero,
returned value would be off by one.

Fix this by recalculating the return value in pollout().

066d836b02 Current pselect(3) is implemented in usermode and thus vulnerable to

making change of sigmask and sleep atomic.

Since signal shall be delivered to the usermode, but sigmask restored,
set TDP_OLDMASK and save old mask in td_oldsigmask. The TDP_OLDMASK
should be cleared by ast() in case signal was not gelivered during

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).

873fbcd776 Further system call comment cleanup:
- Remove also "MP SAFE" after prior "MPSAFE" pass. (suggested by bde)
- Remove extra blank lines in some cases.
- Add extra blank lines in some cases.
- Remove no-op comments consisting solely of the function name, the word
  "syscall", or the system call name.
- Add punctuation.
- Re-wrap some comments.

0c14ff0eb5 Remove 'MPSAFE' annotations from the comments above most system calls: all
system calls now enter without Giant held, and then in some cases, acquire
Giant explicitly.

Remove a number of other MPSAFE annotations in the credential code and
tweak one or two other adjacent comments.

6f7ca813c4 Do not dispatch SIGPIPE from the generic write path for a socket; with
this patch the code behaves according to the comment on the line above.

Without this patch, a socket could cause SIGPIPE to be delivered to its
process, once with SO_NOSIGPIPE set, and twice without.

With this patch, the kernel now passes the sigpipe regression test.

a1b0a18096 Prevent IOC_IN with zero size argument (this is only supported
if backward copatibility options are present) from attempting
to free memory that wasn't allocated.  This is an old bug, and
previously it would attempt to free a null pointer.  I noticed
this bug when working on the previous revision, but forgot to
fix it.

9fddcc6661 Fix our ioctl(2) implementation when the argument is "int". New
ioctls passing integer arguments should use the _IOWINT() macro.
This fixes a lot of ioctl's not working on sparc64, most notable
being keyboard/syscons ioctls.

Full ABI compatibility is provided, with the bonus of fixing the
handling of old ioctls on sparc64.

d9f4623307 - Split ioctl() up into ioctl() and kern_ioctl(). The kern_ioctl() assumes
that the 'data' pointer is already setup to point to a valid KVM buffer
  or contains the copied-in data from userland as appropriate (ioctl(2)
  still does this).  kern_ioctl() takes care of looking up a file pointer,
  implementing FIONCLEX and FIOCLEX, and calling fi_ioctl().
- Use kern_ioctl() to implement xenix_rdchk() instead of using the stackgap
  and mark xenix_rdchk() MPSAFE.

e730167f16 Remove XXX comments complaining that write(2) on a read-only descriptor
returns EBADF.  That errno is correct and is mandated by POSIX.  It also
goes back to revision 1.1 of our CVS history (i.e. 4.4BSD).

The _fget() function should probably also be upated as it currently returns
EINVAL in that case rather than EBADF.  (It does return EBADF for reads
on a write-only descriptor without any XXX comments oddly enough.)
