get a quick snapshot of the kernel's symbol table including the symbols
from any loaded modules (the symbols are all merged into one symbol
table). Unlike like other implementations, this ksyms driver maps
memory in the process memory space to store the snapshot at the time
/dev/ksyms is opened. It also checks to see if the process has already
a snapshot open and won't allow it to open /dev/ksyms it again until it
closes first. This prevents kernel and process memory from being
exhausted. Note that /dev/ksyms is used by the lockstat(1) command.

File format loading functions should avoid printing any additional
informations but just returning appropriate (and different between each
other) error condition, characterizing different informations.
Additively, the linker should handle appropriately different format
loading errors.
While a general mechanism is desired, fix a simple and common case on
amd64: file type is not recognized for link elf and confuses the linker.

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.

__stop_<section> symbols generated by the static linker for elf

Augment elf_obj in-kernel linker by recognizing such special symbols,
and resolving them to the start and end of the section automatically.
As result, linker sets on amd64 could be used in the same way as on
other architectures, without explicit calls to linker_file_lookup_set().

contains the userspace and user<->kernel API and definitions, with all
in-kernel interfaces moved to mac_framework.h, which is now included

This change is the first step in a larger cleanup and sweep of MAC
Framework interfaces in the kernel, and will not be MFC'd.

protect all linker-related data structures including the contents of
linker file objects and the any linker class data as well. Considering how
rarely the linker is used I just went with the simple solution of
single-threading the whole thing rather than expending a lot of effor on
something more fine-grained and complex. Giant is still explicitly
acquired while registering and deregistering sysctl's as well as in the
elf linker class while calling kmupetext(). The rest of the linker runs
without Giant unless it has to acquire Giant while loading files from a
non-MPSAFE filesystem.

Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.

as dependent on binutils features/quirks as the current one. This one
loads plain .o files without having to mess with shared object mode.
This happens to be essential on amd64, because binutils hasn't implemented
all the quirks/features that we need for producing the hack non-PIC shared
objects. As it turned out, .o format isn't all that inconvenient after
all. It looks like the ability to use the same .o files for linking
directly into a static kernel or loading as a module might be worth it.
It is still very much a work-in-progress, but it is almost usable. Other
changes are still needed in order to use it though, these have not been
committed yet. There is still a memory corruption/overrun bug somewhere.
For example, test modules load and work, but the machine explodes a few
minutes later in vm_forkproc() or the like. Notable missing things
include kldxref support, and loader(8) support. I wanted to figure out
a working baseline set of code first.
- All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are*
necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for
mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from
linking to this API (suggested by mux)
- Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as
the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c.
- Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
to express their intention explicitly.
- Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
- The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.

The primary reason for this is to allow MD code to process machine
specific attributes, segments or sections in the ELF file and
update machine specific state accordingly. An immediate use of this
is in the ia64 port where unwind information is updated to allow
debugging and tracing in/across modules. Note that this commit
does not add the functionality to the ia64 port. See revision 1.9

Since link_elf_init() did initializations as a side-effect
of doing the common actions, keep the initialization in
that function. Consequently, link_elf_add_gdb() is now also
called to insert the very first link_map() (ie the kernel).

were improperly relocated due to faulty logic in lookup_fdesc()
in elf_machdep.c. The symbol index (symidx) was bogusly used for
load modules other than the one the relocation applied to. This
resulted in bogus bindings and consequently runtime failures.
The fix is to use the symbol index only for the module being
relocated and to use the symbol name for look-ups in the
modules in the dependent list. As such, we need a function to
return the symbol name given the linker file and symbol index.
sparc v9 ABI. The Elf_Rela records for local symbols appear to already
have the symbol's value added in to the addend field, even though the ABI
specifies we need to lookup the symbol and add its value too. This breaks
text relocations in klds because the symbol's value is added twice, and
the resulting address points off into nowhere land, so for now just use
the addend.

a pointer to a symbol is given and we have to find the containing symbol
table. We do this by bounds checking. For some strange reason (ie I
haven't found the root cause) the first test succeeded for said symbol,
implying that the symbol came from the .dynsym table. In reality however
the symbol actually resided in the .symtab table. Needless to say that
all that was returned was junk.
The upper bounds check was: (symptr - baseptr) < symtab_size
This has been rewritten to: symptr < (baseptr + symtab_size)
As a side-effect, slightly more optimal (and still correct :-) code can
be generated on ia64.
