trap/interrupt/syscall entry from userspace.
Remove special-case "by hand" validation of fs/gs register values as
well as special handling of them in various signal handling paths.
Now, like %ds and %es, they are validated by the hardware on return to
userland.
This paves the way for the use of %fs for per-cpu data on
multiprocessor systems, and fixes an otherwise difficult-to-fix
interaction between threads/clone(2) and USER_LDT.
Discussed in advance with Frank van der Linden.
Async I/O OS specifities should now handled in OS specific code. Linux
has been done, but other emulation should be handled. See case LINUX_F_SETFL
in sys/compat/linux/common/linux_file.c:linux_sys_fcntl() for more details.
The data that has been collected yet:
Net Free Open Linux SunOS AIX OSF1 Darwin
send SIGIO to write end of pipe Y N N N N N Y Y
send SIGIO to read end of pipe Y Y N N N ? Y ?
send SIGIO to write end of socket Y Y Y N N Y Y Y
send SIGIO to read end of socket Y Y Y Y Y ? Y ?

neither it does send any SIGIO for pipes. If async I/O
was requested, we keep the SS_ASYNC in struct socket flag
set, but we clear SB_ASYNC flags on the sending buffer
(for socket), and on the sending and the receiving buffer
(for pipes).
Because we do not alter to SS_ASYNC in struct socket,
the Linux process keeps a consistent view of async I/O
status if it attemps to read the async flag (SS_ASYNC)
This async I/O problem does matters, since some Linux
a programs such as the JDK request async I/O on pipes,
but they fail if they happen to get a SIGIO to the write
end of the pipe.
MNT_NOSUID, just check MNT_NOSUID to clear the S{U,G}ID bits
in the attributes for the vnode we're about to exec.
We now check P_TRACED right before we would actually perform
the s{u,g}id function in the exec code.
This closes a race condition between exec of a setuid binary
and ptrace(2).
between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.
timezone in the kernel. We now keep track of it for emulated processes.
Tested for powerpc and i386. Untested on m68k, but it should be ok
Alpha has a particular implementation (osf1_sys_gettimeofday), and it has
therefore not been touched.
EMUL_BSD_ASYNCIO_PIPE notes that the emulated binaries expect the original
BSD pipe behavior for asynchronous I/O, which is to fire SIGIO on read() and
write(). OSes without this flag do not expect any SIGIO to be fired on
read() and write() for pipes, even when async I/O was requested. As far as
we know, the OSes that need EMUL_BSD_ASYNCIO_PIPE are NetBSD, OSF/1 and
Darwin.
EMUL_NO_SIGIO_ON_READ notes that the emulated binaries that requested
asynchrnous I/O expect the reader process to be notified by a SIGIO, but
not the writer process. OSes without this flag expect the reader and the
writer to be notified when some data has arrived or when some data have been
read. As far as we know, the OSes that need EMUL_NO_SIGIO_ON_READ are Linux
and SunOS.
