Welcome to 4.99.17
write the whole map in one shot so that we don't have to deal with the
map changing under us. Fixes the linux emulated jdk-1.6 where it was
losing the last map entry and could not find the stack on startup.
- Drop the target's vm_map lock before calling uiomove(). We could
deadlock if inspecting /proc/curproc/map.
- If the vm_map might have changed, restart the operation, but give
up after 250 retries if the map keeps changing. XXX This is not
ideal.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

process we're trying to get information about through procfs, not
the caller of lookup.
fixes 'ls -l /proc/*/file' panic, which would occur when trying to
lookup "file" for a kernel thread, which doesn't have p->p_textvp.
The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.
Implemented for file systems of type ffs.
The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.
Presented and discussed on tech-kern with much input from
Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@netbsd.org> and YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@netbsd.org>.
Welcome to 4.99.9 (new vfs op vfs_suspendctl).
- Make procfs_control() in procfs_ctl.c static,
- Add an argument to the above, 'pfs', for the pfsnode,
- Add another request type to KAUTH_PROCESS_CANPROCFS named
KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_CANPROCFS_CTL (and update documentation),
- Use the above combination in a call to kauth_authorize_process().
- LOCKPARENT is no longer relevant for lookup(), relookup() or VOP_LOOKUP().
these now always return the parent vnode locked. namei() works as before.
lookup() and various other paths no longer acquire vnode locks in the
wrong order via vrele(). fixes PR 32535.
as a nice side effect, path lookup is also up to 25% faster.
- the above allows us to get rid of PDIRUNLOCK.
- also get rid of WANTPARENT (just use LOCKPARENT and unlock it).
- remove an assumption in layer_node_find() that all file systems implement
a recursive VOP_LOCK() (unionfs doesn't).
- require that all file systems supply vfs_vptofh and vfs_fhtovp routines.
fill in eopnotsupp() for file systems that don't support being exported
and remove the checks for NULL. (layerfs calls these without checking.)
- in union_lookup1(), don't change refcounts in the ISDOTDOT case, just
adjust which vnode is locked. fixes PR 33374.
- apply fixes for ufs_rename() from ufs_vnops.c rev. 1.61 to ext2fs_rename().

vp->v_interlock may be unlocked twice: Once explicitly and a second time

not from ap->a_flags which is used with lockmgr. This is not so much of a
problem because there seems to be no call site that actually uses
LK_INTERLOCK with layer_unlock or VOP_UNLOCK.
okay martin@
vnodes were synced and processed backwards. This meant that the last
accessed node was processed first and the earlierst last.
An extra benefit is the removal of the ugly hack from the Berkly days on
LFS.
In the proces, i've also replaced the various variations hand written loops
by the TAILQ_FOREACH() macro's.
to do with the security model used. Move back the call to spec_open(),
which can now return the real return value from vfs_mountedon() (EBUSY)
and not EPERM, changing semantics.
- Add a few scopes to the kernel: system, network, and machdep.
- Add a few more actions/sub-actions (requests), and start using them as
opposed to the KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER place-holders.
- Introduce a basic set of listeners that implement our "traditional"
security model, called "bsd44". This is the default (and only) model we
have at the moment.
- Update all relevant documentation.
- Add some code and docs to help folks who want to actually use this stuff:
* There's a sample overlay model, sitting on-top of "bsd44", for
fast experimenting with tweaking just a subset of an existing model.
This is pretty cool because it's *really* straightforward to do stuff
you had to use ugly hacks for until now...
* And of course, documentation describing how to do the above for quick
reference, including code samples.
All of these changes were tested for regressions using a Python-based
testsuite that will be (I hope) available soon via pkgsrc. Information
about the tests, and how to write new ones, can be found on:
http://kauth.linbsd.org/kauthwiki
NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: *PLEASE* don't add any code that does any of the
following:
- Uses a KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER kauth(9) request,
- Checks 'securelevel' directly,
- Checks a uid/gid directly.
(or if you feel you have to, contact me first)
This is still work in progress; It's far from being done, but now it'll
be a lot easier.

fileassoc.diff adds a fileassoc_table_run() routine that allows you to
pass a callback to be called with every entry on a given mount.
veriexec.diff adds some raw device access policies: if raw disk is
opened at strict level 1, all fingerprints on this disk will be
invalidated as a safety measure. level 2 will not allow opening disk
for raw writing if we monitor it, and prevent raw writes to memory.
level 3 will not allow opening any disk for raw writing.
both update all relevant documentation.
veriexec concept is okay blymn@.

While here also fix writes the same way (probably broken for 2 years),

The IPsec code could probably be moved out now, and use kernfs_alloctype().
