in vfs_syscalls.c. Although it did save some indirection, many of
those savings will be obscured with the impending commit of suser()
changes, and the result is increased code complexity. Also, once
p->p_ucred and td->td_ucred are distinguished, this will make
vfs_mount() use the correct thread credential, rather than the
process credential.
debug another process based on their respective {effective,additional,
saved,real} gid's. p1 is only permitted to debug p2 if its effective
gids (egid + additional groups) are a strict superset of the gids of
p2. This implements properly the security test previously incorrectly
implemented in kern_ktrace.c, and is consistent with the kernel
security policy (although might be slightly confusing for those more
familiar with the userland policy).
o Restructure p_candebug() logic so that various results are generated
comparing uids, gids, credential changes, and then composed in a
single check before testing for privilege. These tests encapsulate
the "BSD" inter-process debugging policy. Other non-BSD checks remain
seperate. Additional comments are added.

really be moved elsewhere: p_candebug() encapsulates the security
policy decision, whereas the P_INEXEC check has to do with "correctness"
regarding race conditions, rather than security policy.
Example: even if no security protections were enforced (the "uids are
advisory" model), removing P_INEXEC could result in incorrect operation
due to races on credential evaluation and modification during execve().

o Reorder and synchronize #include's, including moving "opt_cap.h" to
above system includes.
o Introduce #ifdef'd kern.security.capabilities sysctl tree, including
kern.security.capabilities.enabled, which defaults to 0.
The rest of the file remains stubs for the time being.

- Introduce cap_check_td() to reflect suser_td()
- Introduce non-portable cap_from_text2_np(), which converts a
text-form capability to an internal form relative to an existing
capability, and non-portable cap_to_text2_np(), which accepts
a flag argument specifying more about the text output format.
- Introduce CTT_* flags controlling the behavior of
cap_to_text2_np().

When we truncate the msgbuf size because the last chunk is too small,
correctly terminate the phys_avail[] array - the VM system tests
the *end* for zero, not the start. This leads the VM startup to
attempt to recreate a duplicate set of pages for all physical memory.
XXX the msgbuf handling is suspiciously different on i386 vs
alpha/ia64...

pointer. This is part of a gradual migration to suser() accepting
a struct ucred instead of a struct proc, simplifying the reference
and locking semantics of suser().
