from Mac OS X Leopard--rationalize naming for entry points to
the following general forms:
mac_<object>_<method/action>
mac_<object>_check_<method/action>
The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,
some entry point names.
All MAC policy modules will need to be recompiled, and modules
not updates as part of this commit will need to be modified to
conform to the new KPI.

rewrite. This call to useracc() is redundant to validation performed by
later copyin()/copyout() calls, so there isn't a security issue here,
but this could technically lead to excessive validation of addresses if
the length in newlen is shorter than req.newlen.

I tried to do this in a generic abi wrapper that intercepted the sysctl

With this, we can now run 'sysctl -a' on a 32 bit sysctl binary and have

Fix another bug in the oldlen return value code.
Fix a potential wired memory leak if a sysctl handler uses
sysctl_wire_old_buffer() and returns an EAGAIN error to trigger
a retry.
If vslock() returns ENOMEM, sysctl_wire_old_buffer() should set
wiredlen to zero and return zero (success) so that the handler will
operate according to sysctl(3):
The size of the buffer is given by the location specified by
oldlenp before the call, and that location gives the amount
of data copied after a successful call and after a call that
returns with the error code ENOMEM.
The handler will return an ENOMEM error because the zero length
buffer will overflow.

permit MAC policies to augment the security protections on sysctl()

only have access to the MIB of the target sysctl entry, rather than
the more useful entry name, but this is sufficient for policies
