the new proc structure when performing a fork. This makes it much
easier to abort a fork operation and return an error if we run out
of KVA space.
The U-area pages are still wired down in {,u}vm_fork(), as before.
readlink() from type `int' to type `size_t'. This isn't an ABI change, since
the calling convention of our only LP64 platform (the Alpha) already promotes
this argument to a `long'.
This may not be the final action on this matter; readlink() still returns
an `int', which may change in a future revision of the standard.
the kernel's pmap, since proc0 (and other that share its address space)
are kernel-only processes, and should never contain userspace mappings.
This makes it easier to detect errors, like entering user mappings
for kernel processes, in pmap modules, and makes some sense, considering
that kernel processes are really just "thread contexts" for the kernel.
again - the facility required in this context would be a filesystem-specific
super-user determination, which is not available yet. Also, add some
clarification to a comment.
vectors; defer that to vfs_opv_init().
Change the interface to vfs_opv_init() and export it; it now takes a
pointer to an array of vnodeopv_desc *'s to initialize. Allocate
the vnode operations vectors here. Called by vfs_attach().
Implement vfs_opv_free(), which deallocates the vnode operations
vectors. Called by vfs_detach().
Change vfsinit() to build the initial vfs_list by traversing the
vfs_list_inital[] table, and vfs_attach()'ing those file systems.
Also, initialize special vnodeopv_descs (dead, fifo, spec) which
are not associated with any particular file system.
change_owner().
* Change the semantics of chown(), fchown() and lchown(): when requesting a
change of the owner of a file, clear the set-user-id bit; analogous behaviour
for group changes.
* Since the above is a violation of the semantics specified by POSIX and
X/Open, add corresponding compatibility syscalls: __posix_chown(),
__posix_fchown(), __posix_lchown(). (Neither fchown() nor lchown() is
specified by POSIX; the prefix is intended to reflect the semantics.)
* Rename posix_rename() to __posix_rename() to follow the above convention.
(thus causing s_leader to become NULL) by storing the session ID separately
in the session structure. Export the session ID to userspace in the
eproc structure.
