we no longer need to guard against access from hardware interrupt handlers.
Additionally, if cloning a process with CLONE_SIGHAND, arrange to have the
child process share the parent's lock so that signal state may be kept in
sync. Partially addresses PR kern/37437.
proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
- Socket layer becomes MP safe.
- Unix protocols become MP safe.
- Allows protocol processing interrupts to safely block on locks.
- Fixes a number of race conditions.
With much feedback from matt@ and plunky@.
but only the processes that emulate threads (with LINUX_CLONE_THREAD
set).
This fix a problem for child processes that share address space with
the parent. At exit, the child will die silently, leaving the parent
waiting indefinitely for its end ...
Make the FreeBSD and Linux compat code convert the parameters to their
native representation and call the native routines.
Remove KAUTH_PROCESS_SCHEDULER_GET/SET.
Update documentation and examples.
XXX: For now, only the Linux compat code does the priority conversion
XXX: right.
Linux priority conversion code from yamt@, thanks!
Okay yamt@.
words, don't pass an action and a request, and just use a single action to
indicate what is the operation in question.
This is the first step in fixing PR/37986, which calls for policy/priority
checking in the secmodel code. Right now we're lacking room for another
parameter required to make a decision, and this change makes room for such.
The 64bit linux emulation versions can't be used because the lock structure
alignment and field sizes all differ.
Since there need to be 4 different versions of the linux struct flock, and
amd64 kernel needs 3 of them compiled in, rather than replicating the same
code block twice more, move the body of the code into a few #defines
that can be expanded with the correct types in the linux[32]_sys_fcntl[64]()
functions.
Should fix problems running progams like skype running under linux32
emulation on amd64.
Unravel some of the knots that caused linux_file64.c to be compiled twice
for an amd64 kernel (once for linux and once for linux32) with different
parts being skipped each time.
- SHM_STAT take an index as input, and return the corresponding shmid.
- IPC_INFO and SHM_INFO returns the highest used index.
- SHM_INFO expected the total used pages (not bytes) in shm_tot field
of struct shm_info.
- Add a KAUTH_PROCESS_SCHEDULER action, to handle scheduler related
requests, and add specific requests for set/get scheduler policy and
set/get scheduler parameters.
- Add a KAUTH_PROCESS_KEVENT_FILTER action, to handle kevent(2) related
requests.
- Add a KAUTH_DEVICE_TTY_STI action to handle requests to TIOCSTI.
- Add requests for the KAUTH_PROCESS_CANSEE action, indicating what
process information is being looked at (entry itself, args, env,
open files).
- Add requests for the KAUTH_PROCESS_RLIMIT action indicating set/get.
- Add requests for the KAUTH_PROCESS_CORENAME action indicating set/get.
- Make bsd44 secmodel code handle the newly added rqeuests appropriately.
All of the above make it possible to issue finer-grained kauth(9) calls in
many places, removing some KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER requests.
- Remove the "CAN" from KAUTH_PROCESS_CAN{KTRACE,PROCFS,PTRACE,SIGNAL}.
Discussed with christos@ and yamt@.
- Move uid16 functions to their own file linux_uid16.c, included by
needed archs (arm, i386 and m68k).
- Add new MI types linux_{u,g}id16_t.
- Add macros to handle linux_uid16_t and uid_t conversions.
- Add linux_sys_getres{uid,gid}16 syscalls, to fix an overflow with
bad sizes given to copyout when linux_sys_getres{uid,gid} are used.
- Update arm syscall table to use more uid16 functions.
