This change adds a pr_pid field to prpsinfo (NT_PRSINFO). Rather than

ARM (the company) provides the acle-compat.h header file to define the

for arm about the same thing cdefs.h does for freebsd: defines
standardized macros that work no matter which compiler you use. If ARM

Coredump notes depend on being able to invoke dump routines twice; once
in a dry-run mode to get the size of the note, and another to actually
emit the note to the corefile.
When a note helper emits a different length section the second time
around than the length it requested the first time, the kernel produces
a corrupt coredump.
NT_PROCSTAT_FILES output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' fd table
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move around during dump, this is racy.
So:
- Detect badly behaved notes in putnote() and pad underfilled notes.
- Add a fail point, debug.fail_point.fill_kinfo_vnode__random_path to
exercise the NT_PROCSTAT_FILES corruption. It simply picks random
lengths to expand or truncate paths to in fo_fill_kinfo_vnode().
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_fileinfo, to allow users to
disable kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_FILES notes. This should avoid
both FILES note corruption and truncation, even if filenames change,
at the cost of about 1 kiB in padding bloat per open fd. Document
the new sysctl in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_files to self-limit in the 2nd pass. Since
sometimes this will result in a short write, pad up to our advertised
size. This addresses note corruption, at the risk of sometimes
truncating the last several fd info entries.
- Fix NT_PROCSTAT_FILES consumers libutil and libprocstat to grok the

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.

Badly formed ELF note may cause the caclulated pointer to the next note
to point both after the note region, that was checked in the code, but
also to point before the region, that was not checked [1]. Remember the
first note location in note0 and leap out if the note is not between
note0 and note_end.
In the similar way, badly formed note may cause infinite loop by
pointing next note into the same or previous note. Guard against this by
limiting amount of loop iterations by arbitrary choosen big number.
For clarity, check the calculated note alignment in each iteration.

an interpreter definition in its program header), set the auxiliary
ELF argument AT_BASE to 0 rather than to the address that we would
have mapped the interpreter at if there had been one.
The ELF ABI specifications appear to be ambiguous as to the desired
behavior in this situation, as they define AT_BASE as the base address
of the interpreter, but do not mention what to do if there is none.
On Solaris, AT_BASE will be set to the base address of the static
binary if there is no interpreter, and on Linux, AT_BASE is set to 0.
We go with the Linux semantics as they are of more immediate utility
and allow the early runtime environment to know that the kernel has
not mapped an interpreter, but because AT_PHDR points at the ELF
header for the running binary, it is still possible to retrieve all
required mapping information when the process starts should it be
required. Either approach would be preferable to our current behavior
of passing a pointer to an unmapped region of user memory as AT_BASE.

its resource limits at exec() time. The problem with this approach is that
the new limits affect all child processes of the 32-bit process, including
if the child process forks and execs a 64-bit process. To fix this, don't
ovewrite the resource limits during exec(). Instead, sv_fixlimits() is
now replaced with a different function sv_fixlimit() which asks the ABI to
sanitize a single resource limit. We then use this when querying and
setting resource limits. Thus, if a 32-bit process sets a limit, then
that new limit will be inherited by future children. However, if the
32-bit process doesn't change a limit, then a future 64-bit child will
see the "full" 64-bit limit rather than the 32-bit limit.

Now that Giant is acquired in uprintf() and tprintf(), the caller no
longer leads to acquire Giant unless it also holds another mutex that
would generate a lock order reversal when calling into these functions.
Specifically not backed out is the acquisition of Giant in nfs_socket.c

the lock order with Giant.
This aligns this code more with the eventual locking of ttys.

tty buffer is full (per comment).
Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having

time now to break with the past: do not write the PID in the first note.
Rationale:
1. [impact of the breakage] Process IDs in core files serve no immediate
purpose to the debugger itself. They are only useful to relate a core
file to a process. This can provide context to the person looking at
the core file, provided one keeps track of this. Overall, not having
the PID in the core file is only in very rare occasions unfortunate.
2. [reason of the breakage] Having one PRSTATUS note contain the PID,
while all others contain the LWPID of the corresponding kernel thread
creates an irregularity for the debugger that cannot easily be worked
around. This is caused by libthread_db correlating user thread IDs to
kernel thread (aka LWP) IDs and thus aware of the actual LWPIDs.
Update comments accordingly.
The overhead of unconditionally allocating TIDs (and likewise,
unconditionally deallocating them), is amortized across multiple
thread creations by the way UMA makes it possible to have type-stable
storage.
Previously the cost was kept down by having threads created as part
of a fork operation use the process' PID as the TID. While this had
some nice properties, it also introduced complexity in the way TIDs
were allocated. Most importantly, by using the type-stable storage
that UMA gives us this was also unnecessary.
This change affects how core dumps are created and in particular how
the PRSTATUS notes are dumped. Since we don't have a thread with a
TID equalling the PID, we now need a different way to preserve the
old and previous behavior. We do this by having the given thread (i.e.
the thread passed to the core dump code in td) dump it's state first
and fill in pr_pid with the actual PID. All other threads will have
pr_pid contain their TIDs. The upshot of all this is that the debugger
will now likely select the right LWP (=TID) as the initial thread.

in the process. This is required for proper debugging of corefiles
created by 1:1 or M:N threaded processes. Add an XXX comment where
we should actually call a function that dumps MD specific notes.
An example of a MD specific note is the NT_PRXFPREG note for SSE
registers.
Since BFD creates non-annotated pseudo-sections for the first PRSTATUS
and FPREGSET notes (non-annotated in the sense that the name of the
section does not contain the pid/tid), make sure those sections describe
the initial thread of the process (i.e. the thread which tid equals the
pid). This is not strictly necessary, but makes sure that tools that use
the non-annotated section names will not change behaviour due to this
change.
The practical upshot of this all is that one can see the threads in
the debugger when looking at a corefile. For 1:1 threading this means
that *all* threads are visible.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy

it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()

- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
