and friends should either be made first-class citizens and moved
to an include file (systm.h perhaps), or nuked completely, but
not be redefined in a lot of files.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
with privilege elevation no suid or sgid binaries are necessary any
longer. Applications can be executed completely unprivileged. Systrace
raises the privileges for a single system call depending on the
configured policy.
Idea from discussions with Perry Metzger, Dug Song and Marcus Watts.
Approved by christos and thorpej.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
- avoid race conditions by having seqno in ioctl
- better uid/gid tracking
- "replace" policy to replace args
- less diffs, as many of local changes were fed back to openbsd already
due to the 1st item, it was impossible for us to provide backward-compatibility
(new kernel + old bin/systrace won't work). upgrade both.
It's not even built if the option isn't present.
* Use cdev_decl() to generate prototypes for the devsw functions.
* Minor whitespace cleanup.
* Nuke the SYSTR_CLONE ioctl from orbit; instead, just clone it in
systraceopen(), like we do with svr4_net.
