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.

Many thanks to YAMAMOTO Takashi, Matt Thomas, and Christos Zoulas for help
stablizing kauth(9).
Full credit for the regression tests, making sure these changes didn't break
anything, goes to Matt Fleming and Jaime Fournier.
Happy birthday Randi! :)
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@.
intervened by truncation.
it also fixes a deadlock. (g_glock vs pages locking order)
- uvm_vnp_setsize: modify v_size while holding v_interlock.
reviewed by Chuck Silvers.
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
the splay tree has been added for these types. Fix kern/33797 by
Geoff C. Wing.
While here also fix writes the same way (probably broken for 2 years),
and properly implement KERNFS_XREAD.
The IPsec code could probably be moved out now, and use kernfs_alloctype().
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

- remove GOP_SIZE_READ/GOP_SIZE_WRITE flags.
they have not been used since the change.
- ufs_balloc_range: remove code which has been no-op since the change.
thanks Konrad Schroder for explaining the original intention of the code.
- ffs_gop_size: don't extend past eof, in the case of GOP_SIZE_MEM.
otherwise genfs_getpages end up to allocate pages past eof unnecessarily.
way writes are handled: Add KERNFS_XREAD and KERNFS_FILEOP_WRITE files
operations definitions to kfsfileop, a xread function pointer to
kernfs_fileop, rename kernfs_read to kernfs_default_xread and add a
kernfs_read calling kernfs_try_fileop(KERNFS_FILEOP_READ).
Proposed on tech-kern on Feb 18 2006.
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
directly to the directory containing the pid instead of pointing to
/proc/curproc, because some programs rely on calling readlink on /proc/self
to get the pid.
