utility functions which convert between string namespace names and
numeric constants used by the interface. Right now, two namespaces
are supported, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM ("system") and
EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER ("user"). These functions are used by
various userland EA utilities, rather than hard coding the routines
all over the place.

introduce a new argument, "namespace", rather than relying on a first-
character namespace indicator. This is in line with more recent
thinking on EA interfaces on various mailing lists, including the
posix1e, Linux acl-devel, and trustedbsd-discuss forums. Two namespaces
are defined by default, EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM and
EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_USER, where the primary distinction lies in the
access control model: user EAs are accessible based on the normal
MAC and DAC file/directory protections, and system attributes are
limited to kernel-originated or appropriately privileged userland
requests.
o These API changes occur at several levels: the namespace argument is
introduced in the extattr_{get,set}_file() system call interfaces,
at the vnode operation level in the vop_{get,set}extattr() interfaces,
and in the UFS extended attribute implementation. Changes are also
introduced in the VFS extattrctl() interface (system call, VFS,
and UFS implementation), where the arguments are modified to include
a namespace field, as well as modified to advoid direct access to
userspace variables from below the VFS layer (in the style of recent
changes to mount by adrian@FreeBSD.org). This required some cleanup
and bug fixing regarding VFS locks and the VFS interface, as a vnode
pointer may now be optionally submitted to the VFS_EXTATTRCTL()
call. Updated documentation for the VFS interface will be committed
shortly.
o In the near future, the auto-starting feature will be updated to
search two sub-directories to the ".attribute" directory in appropriate
file systems: "user" and "system" to locate attributes intended for
those namespaces, as the single filename is no longer sufficient
to indicate what namespace the attribute is intended for. Until this
is committed, all attributes auto-started by UFS will be placed in
the EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM namespace.
o The default POSIX.1e attribute names for ACLs and Capabilities have
been updated to no longer include the '$' in their filename. As such,
if you're using these features, you'll need to rename the attribute
backing files to the same names without '$' symbols in front.
o Note that these changes will require changes in userland, which will
be committed shortly. These include modifications to the extended
attribute utilities, as well as to libutil for new namespace
string conversion routines. Once the matching userland changes are
committed, a buildworld is recommended to update all the necessary
include files and verify that the kernel and userland environments
are in sync. Note: If you do not use extended attributes (most people
won't), upgrading is not imperative although since the system call
API has changed, the new userland extended attribute code will no longer
compile with old include files.
o Couple of minor cleanups while I'm there: make more code compilation
conditional on FFS_EXTATTR, which should recover a bit of space on
kernels running without EA's, as well as update copyright dates.

.endif statements but can't be placed in .elif. Basically, the problem
was that ParseSkipLine() didn't handle comments the same way that
ParseReadLine() did, and thus you had errors with comments that are on a
conditional line (i.e. "^.") rather than a non-conditional line.

"options FFS_EXTATTR". When extended attribute auto-starting
is enabled, FFS will scan the .attribute directory off of the
root of each file system, as it is mounted. If .attribute
exists, EA support will be started for the file system. If
there are files in the directory, FFS will attempt to start
them as attribute backing files for attributes baring the same
name. All attributes are started before access to the file
system is permitted, so this permits race-free enabling of
attributes. For attributes backing support for security
features, such as ACLs, MAC, Capabilities, this is vital, as
it prevents the file system attributes from getting out of
sync as a result of file system operations between mount-time
and the enabling of the extended attribute. The userland
extattrctl tool will still function exactly as previously.
Files must be placed directly in .attribute, which must be
directly off of the file system root: symbolic links are
not permitted. FFS_EXTATTR will continue to be able
to function without FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART for sites that do not
want/require auto-starting. If you're using the UFS_ACL code
available from www.TrustedBSD.org, using FFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
is recommended.
o This support is implemented by adding an invocation of
ufs_extattr_autostart() to ffs_mountfs(). In addition,
several new supporting calls are introduced in
ufs_extattr.c:
ufs_extattr_autostart(): start EAs on the specified mount
ufs_extattr_lookup(): given a directory and filename,
return the vnode for the file.
ufs_extattr_enable_with_open(): invoke ufs_extattr_enable()
after doing the equililent of vn_open()
on the passed file.
ufs_extattr_iterate_directory(): iterate over a directory,
invoking ufs_extattr_lookup() and
ufs_extattr_enable_with_open() on each
entry.
o This feature is not widely tested, and therefore may contain
bugs, caution is advised. Several changes are in the pipeline
for this feature, including breaking out of EA namespaces into
subdirectories of .attribute (this is waiting on the updated
EA API), as well as a per-filesystem flag indicating whether
or not EAs should be auto-started. This is required because
administrators may not want .attribute auto-started on all
file systems, especially if non-administrators have write access
to the root of a file system.

is transmitted as all ones". This got broken after introduction
of delayed checksums as follows. Some guys (including Jonathan)
think that it is allowed to transmit all ones in place of a zero
checksum for TCP the same way as for UDP. (The discussion still
takes place on -net.) Thus, the 0 -> 0xffff checksum fixup was
first moved from udp_output() (see udp_usrreq.c, 1.64 -> 1.65)
to in_cksum_skip() (see sys/i386/i386/in_cksum.c, 1.17 -> 1.18,
INVERT expression). Besides that I disagree that it is valid for
TCP, there was no real problem until in_cksum.c,v 1.20, where the
in_cksum() was made just a special version of in_cksum_skip().
The side effect was that now every incoming IP datagram failed to
pass the checksum test (in_cksum() returned 0xffff when it should
actually return zero). It was fixed next day in revision 1.21,
by removing the INVERT expression. The latter also broke the
0 -> 0xffff fixup for UDP checksums.
