This was mostly fixed in rev.1.27 (by longjmp()'ing back to the top

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

First, eliminate the use of preprocessor magic to form the address
fields of asm instructions. It hid the actual addresses being
referenced from the compiler. Without knowledge of all the data
dependencies, the compiler might possibly use optimizations which
would result in incorrect code.
Use "__asm __volatile" rather than "__asm" for instruction sequences
that pass information through the condition codes (the carry bit, in
this case). Without __volatile, the compiler might add unrelated
code between consecutive __asm instructions, modifying the condition
codes. I have seen GCC insert stack pointer adjustments in this
way, for example. Unfortunately, GCC doesn't provide a way to
specify dependencies on the condition codes. You can specify that
they are clobbered, but not that you are going to use them as input.
Finally, simplify the LOAD macro. This macro is used as a poor

to find documented values in the bytes of MTRR registers.
To convert the MTRR byte into a FreeBSD "Memory Range Type"
(mrt) it uses the byte value and looks it up in an array.
If the value is not in range then the mrt value ends up
containing random junk.
This isn't an immediate problem. The mrt value is only used
later when rewriting the MTRR registers. When we finally
go to write a value back again, the function i686_mtrrtype()
searches for the junk value and returns -1 when it fails
to find it. This is converted to a byte (0xff) and written
back to the register, causing a GPF as 0xff is an illegal
value for a MTRR byte.
To work around this problem I've added a new mrt flag
MDF_UNKNOWN. We set this when we read a MTRR byte which
we do not understand. If we try to convert a MDF_UNKNOWN
back into a MTRR value, then the new function, i686_mrt2mtrr,
just returns the old value of the MTRR byte. This leaves
the memory range type unchanged.
I'd like to merge this before the 4.6 code freeze, so if people
can test this with XFree 4 that would be very useful.

drivers with MI portions into the MI notes. Device drivers such as busses
like the isa, eisa, and pci devices are now in the MD NOTES section even
though they have some MI code. This will ensure that only the proper bits
of device drivers will be included due to the optional bits dependent on
the busses in sys/conf/files. This commit also takes the stance that since
hints are ignored in NOTES anyways, it is ok to include hints for a bus
that may not be present.

PCPU_LAZY_INC() which increments elements in it for cases where we
can afford the occassional inaccuracy. Use of per-cpu stats counters
avoids significant cache stalls in various critical paths that would
otherwise severely limit our cpu scaleability.
Adjust all sysctl's accessing cnt.* elements to now use a procedure
which aggregates the requested field for all cpus and for the global
vmmeter.
The global vmmeter is retained, since some stats counters, like v_free_min,
cannot be made per-cpu. Also, this allows us to convert counters from
the global vmmeter to the per-cpu vmmeter in a piecemeal fashion, so
have at it!

Unfortunately, this level doesn't really provide enough granularity. We
probably need several MI NOTES type files for things that are shared by
several architectures but not by all. For example, the PCI options could
live in a NOTES.pci.
This also updates the Makefile for i386 to generate LINT. The only changes
in the generated LINT are the order of various options.
Suggestions for improvement welcome.

Note: In general, developers should not gratuitously move declarations out

readability, compiler-localizability, and to avoid developer-introduced bugs
similar to several found in recent years in the VFS and VM code.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

Caveats:
The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.
I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc. (send me email if
you are interested).
Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.
All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.
Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.
Details:
ATA and SCSI drivers should work as the dump formatting code has been
removed. The IDA, TWE and AAC have not yet been converted.
Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set
the device as dumpdev. To implement the "off" argument, /dev/null
is used as the device.
Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles
named from the MD5 hash of the header record. The header record
is dumped in readable format in the .info file. The kernel
is not saved. Only complete dumps will be saved.

Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain
enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug,
and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement.
This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized,
and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things.
This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways. This should

Instead of caching the ucred reference, just go ahead and eat the

into crfree(), we no longer have to get Giant in the common case. In the
case when we are actually free'ing the ucred, we would normally free it on
the next kernel entry, so the cost there is not new, just in a different
place. This also removse td_cache_ucred from struct thread. This is
still only done #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC.
