returned to userland by read(2) also needs to be converted.
For this, the bpf descriptor is flagged as compat32 (or not) in the
open and ioctl functions (where the user process's pid is also updated
in the descriptor). When the bpf buffer is filled in, the 32bits or native
header is used depending on the information stored in the descriptor.
This won't work if a 64bit binary does the open and ioctls, and then
exec a 32bit program which will do the read. But this is very
unlikely to happen in real life ...
Tested on i386 and loongson; with these changes my loongson can run
dhclient and tcpdump with a n32 userland.
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.
and net.bpf.peers sysctls respectively.
A new structure was added to describe the external (user viewable)
representation of a BPF file; a new entry was added to the bpf_d
structure to store the PID of the calling process; a simple_lock was added
to protect the insert/removal from the net.bpf.peers sysctl handler.
This idea came from FreeBSD (Christian S.J. Peron) but while it is
implemented with sysctl's it differs a bit.
Reviewed by: christos@ and atatat@ (who gave me the tip for the net.bpf.peers
sysctl helper function).
* Factor out struct selinfo and its header dependencies into its own header,
<sys/selinfo.h>, to avoid namespace pollution.
* Include <sys/selinfo.h> in user-visible headers where necessary.
particule device. In doing this, make a new the bpf_stat structure with
members that are u_long rather than u_int, matching the counters in the bpf_d.
the original bpf_stat is now bpf_stat_old and so to the original ioctl
is preserved as BIOCGSTATSOLD.
Fix the behaviour of BIOCIMMEDIATE (fix from LBL BPF code via FreeBSD.)
In bpf_mtap(), optimise the calling of bpf_filter() and catchpacket()
based on whether or not the entire packet is in one mbuf (based on
similar change FreeBSD but fixes BIOC*SEESENT issue with that.)
Copy the implementation of BIOCSSEESENT, BIOCGSEESENT by FreeBSD.

layer 2 source addresses (providing the layer 2 in use supports it) in
applications where this is necessary. From Greg Smith <greg@nas.nasa.gov>.
