I changed login_tty() to only work when the application is not a session
leader yet. This works fine for applications in the base system, but it
turns out various applications call this function after daemonizing,
which means they already use their own session.
If setsid() fails, just call tcsetsid() on the current session.
tcsetsid() will already perform proper security checks.

These functions only apply to utmp(5). They cannot be kept intact when

The problem with fcntl(2) locks is that they are not inherited by child
processes. This breaks pidfile(3), where the common idiom is to open
and lock the PID file before daemonizing.
The entire world seems to use the non-standard TIOCSCTTY ioctl to make a
TTY a controlling terminal of a session. Even though tcsetsid(3) is also
non-standard, I think it's a lot better to use in our own source code,
mainly because it's similar to tcsetpgrp(), tcgetpgrp() and tcgetsid().
I stole the idea from QNX. They do it the other way around; their
TIOCSCTTY is just a wrapper around tcsetsid(). tcsetsid() then calls

struct sockaddr * that it casts internally to the appropriate type based on
sa_family. However, struct sockaddr has very lax alignment requirements,
which causes the compiler to complain when you cast a struct sockaddr * to,
say, a struct sockaddr_in6 *.
I find it reasonable to assume that the pointer we received is in fact
correctly aligned. Therefore, we can work around the compiler warnings by
casting to void * before casting to the desired type. For readability's
sake, this is done with macros.
The same technique should prove useful in other parts of the tree that
deal with socket addresses.

As discussed on the commits list, there is no need to call revoke()
inside openpty(). On RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 unlockpt() will call
revoke(). On HEAD we create pseudo-terminals on demand, so there is no
need to revoke the slave device node.
This change should never be MFC'd, because the implementation we have in
RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 should work flawlessly with older versions of
libc.

- Pass O_NOCTTY to posix_openpt(2). This makes the implementation work
consistently on implementations that make the PTY the controlling TTY
by default.
- Call unlockpt() before opening the slave device. POSIX mentions that
de slave device should only be opened after grantpt() and unlockpt()
have been called.
- Replace some redundant code by a label.
In theory we could remove a lot of code from openpty() on FreeBSD
-CURRENT, because grantpt(), unlockpt() and revoke() are not needed in
our implementation. We'd better keep them there. This makes the code
still work with older FreeBSD releases and even makes it work on other
non-BSD operating systems.
I've compiled openpty() on Linux. You only need to remove the revoke()
call, because revoke() on Linux always returns -1. Apart from that, it
seems to work like it should.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
