1270ecd86a MFC r207734: sigaltstack(2): document some modernizations:
* un-document 'struct sigaltstack' tag for stack_t as this is BSD-specific;
  this doesn't seem useful enough to document as such
* alternate stacks are per thread, not per process
* update error codes to what the kernel does and POSIX requires

931d13672c MFC revision 197579 and 199617:
Add two new fcntls to enable/disable read-ahead:

 - F_READAHEAD: specify the amount for sequential access.  The amount is
   specified in bytes and is rounded up to nearest block size.
 - F_RDAHEAD: Darwin compatible version that use 128KB as the sequential
   access size.

A third argument of zero disables the read-ahead behavior.

Please note that the read-ahead amount is also constrainted by sysctl
variable, vfs.read_max, which may need to be raised in order to better
utilize this feature.

Thanks Igor Sysoev for proposing the feature and submitting the original
version, and kib@ for his valuable comments.

2286fe7635 Second attempt at eliminating .text relocations in shared libraries
compiled with stack protector.

Use libssp_nonshared library to pull __stack_chk_fail_local symbol into
each library that needs it instead of pulling it from libc. GCC
generates local calls to this function which result in absolute
relocations put into position-independent code segment, making dynamic
loader do extra work every time given shared library is being relocated
and making affected text pages non-shareable.

0fe0ed8bf8 - Change mmap() to fail requests with EINVAL that pass a length of 0. This
behavior is mandated by POSIX.
- Do not fail requests that pass a length greater than SSIZE_MAX
  (such as > 2GB on 32-bit platforms).  The 'len' parameter is actually
  an unsigned 'size_t' so negative values don't really make sense.

c38898116a There is an optimization in chmod(1), that makes it not to call chmod(2)
if the new file mode is the same as it was before; however, this
optimization must be disabled for filesystems that support NFSv4 ACLs.
Chmod uses pathconf(2) to determine whether this is the case - however,
pathconf(2) always follows symbolic links, while the 'chmod -h' doesn't.

This change adds lpathconf(3) to make it possible to solve that problem
in a clean way.

b648d4806b Change the ABI of some of the structures used by the SYSV IPC API:
- The uid/cuid members of struct ipc_perm are now uid_t instead of unsigned
  short.
- The gid/cgid members of struct ipc_perm are now gid_t instead of unsigned
  short.
- The mode member of struct ipc_perm is now mode_t instead of unsigned short
  (this is merely a style bug).
- The rather dubious padding fields for ABI compat with SV/I386 have been
  removed from struct msqid_ds and struct semid_ds.
- The shm_segsz member of struct shmid_ds is now a size_t instead of an
  int.  This removes the need for the shm_bsegsz member in struct
  shmid_kernel and should allow for complete support of SYSV SHM regions
  >= 2GB.
- The shm_nattch member of struct shmid_ds is now an int instead of a
  short.
- The shm_internal member of struct shmid_ds is now gone.  The internal
  VM object pointer for SHM regions has been moved into struct
  shmid_kernel.
- The existing __semctl(), msgctl(), and shmctl() system call entries are
  now marked COMPAT7 and new versions of those system calls which support
  the new ABI are now present.
- The new system calls are assigned to the FBSD-1.1 version in libc.  The
  FBSD-1.0 symbols in libc now refer to the old COMPAT7 system calls.
- A simplistic framework for tagging system calls with compatibility
  symbol versions has been added to libc.  Version tags are added to
  system calls by adding an appropriate __sym_compat() entry to
  src/lib/libc/incldue/compat.h. [1]

54404cfb13 In preparation for raising NGROUPS and NGROUPS_MAX, change base
system callers of getgroups(), getgrouplist(), and setgroups() to
allocate buffers dynamically.  Specifically, allocate a buffer of size
sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX)+1 (+2 in a few cases to allow for overflow).

This (or similar gymnastics) is required for the code to actually follow
the POSIX.1-2008 specification where {NGROUPS_MAX} may differ at runtime
and where getgroups may return {NGROUPS_MAX}+1 results on systems like
FreeBSD which include the primary group.

In id(1), don't pointlessly add the primary group to the list of all
groups, it is always the first result from getgroups().  In principle
the old code was more portable, but this was only done in one of the two
places where getgroups() was called to the overall effect was pointless.

Document the actual POSIX requirements in the getgroups(2) and
setgroups(2) manpages.  We do not yet support a dynamic NGROUPS, but we
may in the future.

c4f16b69e1 Add a new 'void closefrom(int lowfd)' system call. When called, it closes
any open file descriptors >= 'lowfd'.  It is largely identical to the same
function on other operating systems such as Solaris, DFly, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD.  One difference from other *BSD is that this closefrom() does not
fail with any errors.  In practice, while the manpages for NetBSD and
OpenBSD claim that they return EINTR, they ignore internal errors from
close() and never return EINTR.  DFly does return EINTR, but for the common
use case (closing fd's prior to execve()), the caller really wants all
fd's closed and returning EINTR just forces callers to call closefrom() in
a loop until it stops failing.

Note that this implementation of closefrom(2) does not make any effort to
resolve userland races with open(2) in other threads.  As such, it is not
multithread safe.

0304c73163 Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails.  Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less.  Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system.  Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().

Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings.  The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system
call.

b38ff370e4 Introduce the extensible jail framework, using the same "name=value"
interface as nmount(2).  Three new system calls are added:
* jail_set, to create jails and change the parameters of existing jails.
  This replaces jail(2).
* jail_get, to read the parameters of existing jails.  This replaces the
  security.jail.list sysctl.
* jail_remove to kill off a jail's processes and remove the jail.
Most jail parameters may now be changed after creation, and jails may be
set to exist without any attached processes.  The current jail(2) system
call still exists, though it is now a stub to jail_set(2).
