If CloudABI processes open files with a set of requested rights that do
not match any of the privileges granted by O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY or O_RDWR,
we'd better fall back to O_RDONLY -- not O_WRONLY.
CloudABI purely operates on file descriptor rights (CAP_*). File
descriptor access modes (O_ACCMODE) are emulated on top of rights.
Instead of accepting the traditional flags argument, file_open() copies
in an fdstat_t object that contains the initial rights the descriptor
should have, but also file descriptor flags that should persist after
opening (APPEND, NONBLOCK, *SYNC). Only flags that don't persist (EXCL,
TRUNC, CREAT, DIRECTORY) are passed in as an argument.
file_open() first converts the rights, the persistent flags and the
non-persistent flags to fflags. It then calls into vn_open(). If
successful, it installs the file descriptor with the requested
rights, trimming off rights that don't apply to the type of
the file that has been opened.
Unlike kern_openat(), this function does not support /dev/fd/*. I can't
think of a reason why we need to support this for CloudABI.

On CloudABI, the rights bits returned by cap_rights_get() match up with
the operations that you can actually perform on the file descriptor.
Limiting the rights is good, because it makes it easier to get uniform
behaviour across different operating systems. If process descriptors on
FreeBSD would suddenly gain support for any new file operation, this
wouldn't become exposed to CloudABI processes without first extending
the rights.
Extend fork1() to gain a 'struct filecaps' argument that allows you to
construct process descriptors with custom rights. Use this in
cloudabi_sys_proc_fork() to limit the rights to just fstat() and

Summary:
Pipes in CloudABI are unidirectional. The reason for this is that
CloudABI attempts to provide a uniform runtime environment across
different flavours of UNIX.
Instead of implementing a custom pipe that is unidirectional, we can
simply reuse Capsicum permission bits to support this. This is nice,
because CloudABI already attempts to restrict permission bits to
correspond with the operations that apply to a certain file descriptor.
Replace kern_pipe() and kern_pipe2() by a single kern_pipe() that takes
a pair of filecaps. These filecaps are passed to the newly introduced
falloc_caps() function that creates the descriptors with rights in
place.

CloudABI's openat() ensures that files are opened with the smallest set

can just reuse the code for this that was already present in the rights
conversion function.
Summary:
CloudABI's readdir() system call could be thought of as a mixture
between FreeBSD's getdents(2) and pread(). Instead of using the file
descriptor offset, userspace provides a 64-bit cloudabi_dircookie_t
continue reading at a given point. CLOUDABI_DIRCOOKIE_START, having
value 0, can be used to return entries at the start of the directory.
The file descriptor offset is not used to store the cookie for the
reason that in a file descriptor centric environment, it would make
sense to allow concurrent use of a single file descriptor.
The remaining space returned by the system call should be filled with a
partially truncated copy of the next entry. The advantage of doing this
is that it gracefully deals with long filenames. If the C library
provides a buffer that is too small to hold a single entry, it can still
extract the directory entry header, meaning that it can retry the read
with a larger buffer or skip it using the cookie.

The file_create() system call can be used to create files of a given
type. Right now it can only be used to create directories and FIFOs. As
CloudABI does not expose filesystem permissions, this system call lacks
a mode argument. Simply use 0777 or 0666 depending on the file type.
Summary:
CloudABI provides access to two different stat structures:
- fdstat, containing file descriptor level status: oflags, file
descriptor type and Capsicum rights, used by cap_rights_get(),
fcntl(F_GETFL), getsockopt(SO_TYPE).
- filestat, containing your regular file status: timestamps, inode
number, used by fstat().
Unlike FreeBSD's stat::st_mode, CloudABI file descriptor types don't
have overloaded meanings (e.g., returning S_ISCHR() for kqueues). Add a
utility function to extract the type of a file descriptor accurately.
CloudABI does not work with O_ACCMODEs. File descriptors have two sets
of Capsicum-style rights: rights that apply to the file descriptor
itself ('base') and rights that apply to any new file descriptors
yielded through openat() ('inheriting'). Though not perfect, we can
pretty safely decompose Capsicum rights to such a pair. This is done in
convert_capabilities().

Summary:
CloudABI provides two different types of futex objects: read-write locks
and condition variables. There is no need to provide separate support
for once objects and thread joining, as these are efficiently simulated
by blocking on a read-write lock. Mutexes simply use read-write locks.
Condition variables always have a lock object associated to them. They
always know to which lock a thread needs to be migrated if woken up.
This allows us to implement requeueing. A broadcast on a condition
variable will never cause multiple threads to be woken up at once. They
will be woken up iteratively.
This implementation still has lots of room for improvement. Locking is
coarse and right now we use linked lists to store all of the locks and
condition variables, instead of using a hash table. The primary goal of
this implementation was to behave correctly. Performance will be
improved as we go.

functionality (e.g., conversion of struct stat).
Also implement the socket system calls that operate on pathnames, namely
the ones used by the C library functions bindat() and connectat(). These
don't receive a 'struct sockaddr_un', but just the pathname, meaning
they could be implemented in such a way that they don't depend on the
size of sun_path. For now, just use the existing interfaces.

Though the standard C library uses a 'struct timespec' using a 64-bit
'time_t', there is no need to use such a type at the system call level.
CloudABI uses a simple 64-bit unsigned timestamp in nanoseconds. This is
sufficient to express any time value from 1970 to 2554.
The CloudABI low-level interface also supports fetching timestamp values
with a lower precision. Instead of overloading the clock ID argument for
this purpose, the system call provides a precision argument that may be
used to specify the maximum slack. The current system call
implementation does not use this information, but it's good to already
have this available.

Summary:
In a runtime that is purely based on capability-based security, there is
a strong emphasis on how programs start their execution. We need to make
sure that we execute an new program with an exact set of file
descriptors, ensuring that credentials are not leaked into the process
accidentally.
Providing the right file descriptors is just half the problem. There
also needs to be a framework in place that gives meaning to these file
descriptors. How does a CloudABI mail server know which of the file
descriptors corresponds to the socket that receives incoming emails?
Furthermore, how will this mail server acquire its configuration
parameters, as it cannot open a configuration file from a global path on
disk?
CloudABI solves this problem by replacing traditional string command
line arguments by tree-like data structure consisting of scalars,
sequences and mappings (similar to YAML/JSON). In this structure, file
descriptors are treated as a first-class citizen. When calling exec(),
file descriptors are passed on to the new executable if and only if they
are referenced from this tree structure. See the cloudabi-run(1) man
page for more details and examples (sysutils/cloudabi-utils).
Fortunately, the kernel does not need to care about this tree structure
at all. The C library is responsible for serializing and deserializing,
but also for extracting the list of referenced file descriptors. The
system call only receives a copy of the serialized data and a layout of
what the new file descriptor table should look like:
int proc_exec(int execfd, const void *data, size_t datalen, const int *fds,
size_t fdslen);
This change introduces a set of fd*_remapped() functions:
- fdcopy_remapped() pulls a copy of a file descriptor table, remapping
all of the file descriptors according to the provided mapping table.
- fdinstall_remapped() replaces the file descriptor table of the process
by the copy created by fdcopy_remapped().
- fdescfree_remapped() frees the table in case we aborted before
fdinstall_remapped().
We then add a function exec_copyin_data_fds() that builds on top these
functions. It copies in the data and constructs a new remapped file
descriptor. This is used by cloudabi_sys_proc_exec().
Test Plan:
cloudabi-run(1) is capable of spawning processes successfully, providing
it data and file descriptors. procstat -f seems to confirm all is good.
Regular FreeBSD processes also work properly.

CloudABI is a pure capability-based runtime environment for UNIX. It
works similar to Capsicum, except that processes already run in
capabilities mode on startup. All functionality that conflicts with this
model has been omitted, making it a compact binary interface that can be
supported by other operating systems without too much effort.
CloudABI is 'secure by default'; the idea is that it should be safe to
run arbitrary third-party binaries without requiring any explicit
hardware virtualization (Bhyve) or namespace virtualization (Jails). The
rights of an application are purely determined by the set of file
descriptors that you grant it on startup.
The datatypes and constants used by CloudABI's C library (cloudlibc) are
defined in separate files called syscalldefs_mi.h (pointer size
independent) and syscalldefs_md.h (pointer size dependent). We import
these files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and wrap around them in
cloudabi*_syscalldefs.h.
We then add stubs for all of the system calls in sys/compat/cloudabi or
sys/compat/cloudabi64, depending on whether the system call depends on
the pointer size. We only have nine system calls that depend on the
pointer size. If we ever want to support 32-bit binaries, we can simply
add sys/compat/cloudabi32 and implement these nine system calls again.
The next step is to send in code reviews for the individual system call
implementations, but also add a sysentvec, to allow CloudABI executabled
to be started through execve().

1. Get rid of the stubs/quirks with process dethreading,
process reparent when the process group leader exits and close
to this problems on wait(), waitpid(), etc.
2. Reuse our kernel code instead of writing excessive thread
managment routines in Linuxulator.
Implementation details:
1. The thread is created via kern_thr_new() in the clone() call with
the CLONE_THREAD parameter. Thus, everything else is a process.
2. The test that the process has a threads is done via P_HADTHREADS

4. PID mangling has changed. Now Linux pid is the native tid

Ugliness:
In case when the Linux thread is the initial thread in the thread
group thread id is equal to the process id. Glibc depends on this

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

This fires off a kqueue note (of type sendfile) to the configured kqfd
when the sendfile transaction has completed and the relevant memory
backing the transaction is no longer in use by this transaction.
This is analogous to SF_SYNC waiting for the mbufs to complete -
except now you don't have to wait.
Both SF_SYNC and SF_KQUEUE should work together, even if it
doesn't necessarily make any practical sense.
This is designed for use by applications which use backing cache/store
files (eg Varnish) or POSIX shared memory (not sure anything is using
it yet!) to know when a region of memory is free for re-use. Note
it doesn't mark the region as free overall - only free from this
transaction. The application developer still needs to track which
ranges are in the process of being recycled and wait until all
pending transactions are completed.

for extending and reusing it.
The sendfile_sync wrapper is mostly just a "mbuf transaction" wrapper,
used to indicate that the backing store for a group of mbufs has completed.
It's only being used by sendfile for now and it's only implementing a
sleep/wakeup rendezvous. However, there are other potential signaling
paths (kqueue) and other potential uses (socket zero-copy write) where the
same mechanism would also be useful.
So, with that in mind:
* extract the sendfile_sync code out into sf_sync_*() methods
* teach the sf_sync_alloc method about the current config flag -
it will eventually know about kqueue.
* move the sendfile_sync code out of do_sendfile() - the only thing
it now knows about is the sfs pointer. The guts of the sync
rendezvous (setup, rendezvous/wait, free) is now done in the
syscall wrapper.
* .. and teach the 32-bit compat sendfile call the same.
This should be a no-op. It's primarily preparation work for teaching
the sendfile_sync about kqueue notification.
