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

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

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

link_elf_load_file() to link_elf_link_common_finish().
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).
Move link_elf_add_gdb(), link_elf_delete_gdb() and link_elf_error()
near the top of the file. The *_gdb() functions are moved inside
the #ifdef DDB already present there.

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.

Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.

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

make a series of modifications to the credential arguments relating
to file read and write operations to cliarfy which credential is
used for what:
- Change fo_read() and fo_write() to accept "active_cred" instead of
"cred", and change the semantics of consumers of fo_read() and
fo_write() to pass the active credential of the thread requesting
an operation rather than the cached file cred. The cached file
cred is still available in fo_read() and fo_write() consumers
via fp->f_cred. These changes largely in sys_generic.c.
For each implementation of fo_read() and fo_write(), update cred
usage to reflect this change and maintain current semantics:
- badfo_readwrite() unchanged
- kqueue_read/write() unchanged
pipe_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred rather
than td->td_ucred
- soo_read/write() unchanged
- vn_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred but
VOP_READ/WRITE() with fp->f_cred
Modify vn_rdwr() to accept two credential arguments instead of a
single credential: active_cred and file_cred. Use active_cred
for MAC authorization, and select a credential for use in
VOP_READ/WRITE() based on whether file_cred is NULL or not. If
file_cred is provided, authorize the VOP using that cred,
otherwise the active credential, matching current semantics.
Modify current vn_rdwr() consumers to pass a file_cred if used
in the context of a struct file, and to always pass active_cred.
When vn_rdwr() is used without a file_cred, pass NOCRED.
These changes should maintain current semantics for read/write,
but avoid a redundant passing of fp->f_cred, as well as making
it more clear what the origin of each credential is in file
descriptor read/write operations.
Follow-up commits will make similar changes to other file descriptor
operations, and modify the MAC framework to pass both credentials
to MAC policy modules so they can implement either semantic for
revocation.

the symbol index defined by the relocation. The elf_lookup() support
function is to be used by elf_reloc() when symbol lookups need to be
done. The elf_lookup() function operates on the symbol index and
will do a symbol name based lookup when such is required, otherwise
it uses the symbol index directly. This solves the problem seen on
ia64 where the symbol hash table does not contain local symbols and
a symbol name based lookup would fail for those symbols.
Don't pass the symbol name to elf_reloc(), as it isn't used any more.
the DT_PLTGOT value. On ia64 this is the value of GP. We need this
to construct function descriptors, but the elf file structure is
not exported to MD code.
Note that the name of the function is based on the meaning that
DT_PLTGOT has on ia64. This may differ on other architectures. As
such, link_elf_get_gp() has a high level of MD to it. Renaming the
function to describe what DT_* value is returned makes it generic,
but also makes the MD code less clear and if we only need this on
ia64, then a general name for a specific function doesn't help.

This sysctl requires addition of a new linker operation. Now,
linker_file_t's need to respond to "each_function_name" to export
their function symbols.
Note that the sysctl doesn't currently allow distinguishing multiple
symbols with the same name from different modules, but could quite
easily without a change to the linker operation. This will be a nicety
to have when it can be used.

It certainly should have since things were using linker_kernel_file

means that trying to do a kldload on a non-dynamic kernel will implode.
structure is always free()ed yet only sometimes malloc()ed. In particular,
it was simply set to point to l_filename from the a linker_file_t in
link_elf_link_preload_finish(). The l_filename had been malloc()ed inside
the kern_linker.c module and was being free()ed twice: once by
link_elf_unload_file() and again by linker_file_unload(), leading to
a panic.
How to duplicate the problem:
- Pre-load a kernel module from the loader, i.e. if_sis.ko
- Boot system
- Attempt to unload module with kldunload if_sis
- Bewm
The problem here is that the case where the module was loaded with kldload
after system boot would work correctly, so this bug went unnoticed until
I stubbed my toe on it just now. (Also, you can only trip this bug if
you compile a kernel with options DDB, but that's the default now.)
