It was reported that getdirentries(2) was
returning dirents with d_off set to 0 for an NFS
mount.
This is believed to be correct behaviour at
this time (it may change for some NFS mounts
in the future), but is inconsistent with what the
getdirentries(2) man page says.
This patch fixes the man page.
This is a content change.

jail_attach(2) performs an internal chroot operation, leaving it up to
the calling process to assure the working directory is inside the jail.
Add a matching internal chdir operation to the jail's root. Also
ignore kern.chroot_allow_open_directories, and always disallow the
operation if there are any directory descriptors open.

Previously, we would accept any kind of LIO_* opcode, including ones
that were intended for in-kernel use only like LIO_SYNC (which is not
defined in userland). The situation became more serious with
022ca2fc7f. After that revision, setting
aio_lio_opcode to LIO_WRITEV or LIO_READV would trigger an assertion.
Note that POSIX does not specify what should happen if aio_lio_opcode is
invalid.

aio_fsync(O_DSYNC, ...) is the asynchronous version of fdatasync(2).
Reviewed by: kib, asomers, jhb
Differential Review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25071
POSIX O_DSYNC means that writes include an implicit fdatasync(2), just
as O_SYNC implies fsync(2).
VOP_WRITE() functions that understand the new IO_DATASYNC flag can act
accordingly, but we'll still pass down IO_SYNC so that file systems that
don't understand it will continue to provide the stronger O_SYNC
behaviour.
Flag also applies to fcntl(2).

POSIX AIO is great, but it lacks vectored I/O functions. This commit
fixes that shortcoming by adding aio_writev and aio_readv. They aren't
part of the standard, but they're an obvious extension. They work just
like their synchronous equivalents pwritev and preadv.
It isn't yet possible to use vectored aiocbs with lio_listio, but that
could be added in the future.

PR#252358 reported a serious performance problem w.r.t.
cp(1) when copying large non-sparse files.
This problem appears to have been caused by cp(1)
calling copy_file_range(2) with a small "len" argument.
This patch adds a recommendation to use a large "len"
value where possible, for performance reasons.

While some of the syscalls' behavior were documented and implied in the
RETURN VALUES section by earlier, e.g., the DESCRIPTION sections, as having
behavior of the other calls (`*_fd` vs `*_file` vs `*_link`), there was a lot
of implied return value behavior in the section prior to this change.
Explicitly document the syscall behavior per the current implementation in
sys/kern/vfs_extattr.c so others can better develop based on its explicit
documented behavior instead of having to digest the context of the manpage to
understand the appropriate behavior.

Although some sections of the manpage sort the syscalls alphabetically, many
core areas of the manpage do not. Sort the syscalls so it is easier to pick out
functional changes and to improve manpage readability.

This also fixes a minor issue that was missed in the initial review; the
layout of the MFD_HUGE_* flags is actually not 1:1 bit:flag -- it instead
borrowed the Linux convention of how this is laid out since it was
originally implemented on Linux, the top 6 bits represent the shift required
for the requested page size.
This allows us to remove the flag <-> pgsize mapping table and simplify the
logic just prior to validation of the requested page size.
While we're here, fix two small nits:
- HUGETLB memfd shouldn't exhibit the SHM_GROW_ON_WRITE behavior. We can
only grow largepage shm by appropriately aligned (i.e. requested pagesize)
sizes, so it can't work in the typical/sane fashion. Furthermore, Linux
does the same, so let's be compatible.
- We don't allow MFD_HUGETLB without specifying a pagesize, so no need to
check for that later.
