kqueue(2) already supports EVFILT_PROC. Add an EVFILT_PROCDESC that behaves the same, but operates on a procdesc(4) instead. Only implement NOTE_EXIT for now. The nice thing about NOTE_EXIT is that it also returns the exit status of the process, meaning that we can now obtain this value, even if pdwait4(2) is still unimplemented. Notes: - Simply reuse EVFILT_NETDEV for EVFILT_PROCDESC. As both of these will be used on totally different descriptor types, this should not clash. - Let procdesc_kqops_event() reuse the same structure as filt_proc(). The only difference is that procdesc_kqops_event() should also be able to deal with the case where the process was already terminated after registration. Simply test this when hint == 0. - Fix some style(9) issues in filt_proc() to keep it consistent with the newly added procdesc_kqops_event(). - Save the exit status of the process in pd->pd_xstat, as we cannot pick up the proctree_lock from within procdesc_kqops_event().

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/procdesc.h
|
|
.Ft pid_t
|
|
.Fn pdfork "int *fdp" "int flags"
|
|
.Ft int
|

.Fn pdwait4 "int fd" "int *status" "int options" "struct rusage *rusage"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Process descriptors are special file descriptors that represent processes,
|
|
and are created using
|
|
.Fn pdfork ,
|
|
a variant of
|
|
.Xr fork 2 ,
|
|
which, if successful, returns a process descriptor in the integer pointed to
|
|
by
|
|
.Fa fdp .
|
|
Processes created via
|
|
.Fn pdfork
|
|
will not cause
|
|
.Dv SIGCHLD
|
|
on termination.
|
|
.Fn pdfork
|
|
can accept the flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PD_DAEMON"
|
|
.It Dv PD_DAEMON
|
|
Instead of the default terminate-on-close behaviour, allow the process to
|
|
live until it is explicitly killed with
|
|
.Xr kill 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option is not permitted in
|
|
.Xr capsicum 4
|
|
capability mode (see
|
|
.Xr cap_enter 2 ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn pdgetpid
|
|
queries the process ID (PID) in the process descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn pdkill
|
|
is functionally identical to
|
|
.Xr kill 2 ,
|
|
except that it accepts a process descriptor,
|
|
.Fa fd ,
|
|
rather than a PID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn pdwait4
|
|
behaves identically to
|
|
.Xr wait4 2 ,
|
|
but operates with respect to a process descriptor argument rather than a PID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following system calls also have effects specific to process descriptors:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr fstat 2
|
|
queries status of a process descriptor; currently only the
|
|
.Fa st_mode ,
|
|
.Fa st_birthtime ,
|
|
.Fa st_atime ,
|
|
.Fa st_ctime
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa st_mtime
|
|
fields are defined.
|
|
If the owner read, write, and execute bits are set then the
|
|
process represented by the process descriptor is still alive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr poll 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
allow waiting for process state transitions; currently only
|
|
.Dv POLLHUP
|
|
is defined, and will be raised when the process dies.
|
|
Process state transitions can also be monitored using
|
|
.Xr kqueue 2
|
|
filter
|
|
.Dv EVFILT_PROCDESC ;
|
|
currently only
|
|
.Dv NOTE_EXIT
|
|
is implemented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr close 2
|
|
will close the process descriptor unless
|
|
.Dv PD_DAEMON
|
|
is set; if the process is still alive and this is
|
|
the last reference to the process descriptor, the process will be terminated
|
|
with the signal
|
|
.Dv SIGKILL .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn pdfork
|
|
returns a PID, 0 or -1, as
|
|
.Xr fork 2
|
|
does.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn pdgetpid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pdkill
|
|
return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn pdwait4
|
|
returns a PID on success and -1 on failure.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions may return the same error numbers as their PID-based equivalents
|
|
(e.g.
|
|
.Fn pdfork
|
|
may return the same error numbers as
|
|
.Xr fork 2 ) ,
|
|
with the following additions:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The signal number given to
|
|
.Fn pdkill
|
|
is invalid.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTCAPABLE
|
|
The process descriptor being operated on has insufficient rights (e.g.
|
|
.Dv CAP_PDKILL
|
|
for
|
|
.Fn pdkill ) .
