thorpej 04e486d9f8 Add specificdata support to procs and lwps, each providing their own
wrappers around the speicificdata subroutines.  Also:
- Call the new lwpinit() function from main() after calling procinit().
- Move some pool initialization out of kern_proc.c and into files that
  are directly related to the pools in question (kern_lwp.c and kern_ras.c).
- Convert uipc_sem.c to proc_{get,set}specific(), and eliminate the p_ksems
  member from struct proc.

elad f0c7040a3f Move the kauth_init() call above auto-configuration; this will fix some
recent bugs introduced with the usage of kauth(9) in MD/device code.

While here, change the sanity checks to KASSERT(), because they're really
bugs we should fix if triggered.

elad 5f7169ccb1 First take at security model abstraction.
- 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.

elad b5d09ef065 okay, since there was no way to divide this to two commits, here it goes..
introduce fileassoc(9), a kernel interface for associating meta-data with
files using in-kernel memory. this is very similar to what we had in
veriexec till now, only abstracted so it can be used more easily by more
consumers.

this also prompted the redesign of the interface, making it work on vnodes
and mounts and not directly on devices and inodes. internally, we still
use file-id but that's gonna change soon... the interface will remain
consistent.

as a result, veriexec went under some heavy changes to conform to the new
interface. since we no longer use device numbers to identify file-systems,
the veriexec sysctl stuff changed too: kern.veriexec.count.dev_N is now
kern.veriexec.tableN.* where 'N' is NOT the device number but rather a
way to distinguish several mounts.

also worth noting is the plugging of unmount/delete operations
wrt/fileassoc and veriexec.

- Replace references to linesw[0] with a ttyldisc_default() function

- The linesw[] array is gone, replaced by a linked list.
- ttyldisc_add() and ttyldisc_remove() have been replaced by

- Things that provide line disciplines are now responsible for
  registering those disciplines with the system.  The linesw
  structures are no longer declared in tty_conf.c
- Line disciplines are now refcounted; a lookup causes a reference to
  be held.  ttyldisc_release() releases the reference.  Attempts to
  detach an in-use line discipline result in EBUSY.
- Fix function signature lossage in if_sl.c, if_strip.c, and tty_tb.c
  that was masked by the old tty_conf.c

Clarify/fix handling of the current channel:
o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current
  channel instead of overloading ic->ic_bss->ni_chan (or in some
  drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
  state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
  more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
  a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
  stations that were previously found at a different channel

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and
IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags.  Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags.  This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.

Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

Split crypto tx+rx key indices and add a key index -> node mapping table:

Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
  driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
  it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
  the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
  default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
  driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
  table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
  key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
  as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)

Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
  station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
  (note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
  to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
  on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
  mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
  found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
  is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
  not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
  a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
  unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
  references)

Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api

These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode.  Other drivers should see no change.  Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

Cleanup beacon/listen interval handling:
o separate configured beacon interval from listen interval; this

o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
  beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
  if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
  result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
  confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
  rate limiting)
o while here up max beacon interval to reflect WiFi standard

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode.  Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table".  But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems.  The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount

with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.

The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:

	@machine	value of MACHINE for the system
	@machine_arch	value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
	@hostname	the system host name, as set with sethostname()
	@domainname	the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
	@kernel_ident	the kernel config file name
	@osrelease	the releaes number of the OS
	@ostype		the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)

	mkdir /arch/i386/bin
	mkdir /arch/sparc/bin

mycroft 0461b30ac3 Rework the mountroot interface so that vfs_mountroot() opens the root device
and just passes it on to the file system functions.  This avoids opening and
closing the device several times.

Mentioned on tech-kern some time ago, IIRC.  I've been running this for a
long time.

thorpej 99e5d764c1 - Eliminate the need to call disk_init().
- disk_count needs to be protected with disklist_slock, too.

yamt 0994e6acb8 introduce a function, proclist_foreach_call, to iterate all procs on
a proclist and call the specified function for each of them.
primarily to fix a procfs locking problem, but i think that it's useful for
others as well.

while i'm here, introduce PROCLIST_FOREACH macro, which is similar to
LIST_FOREACH but skips marker entries which are used by proclist_foreach_call.

simonb b5d0e6bf06 Initialise (most) pools from a link set instead of explicit calls
to pool_init.  Untouched pools are ones that either in arch-specific
code, or aren't initialiased during initial system startup.

 Convert struct session, ucred and lockf to pools.

jonathan 63fe9ef057 Use proper NetBSD conventions for deferred kthread creation, not the
other semantics from an earlier incarnation.

Call kcont_init() from init_main before device autoconfiguration,
so kcont is availble to device drivers if required.

Also ensure the kthread process runs any pending continuations once
the kthread is finally up and running. For now, use a non-null timeout
to poll the queue periodically.  Draining any pending requests just
before the kthread enters its ltsleep()/kc_run loop is cleaner, but
this is the version I tested with an early-in-boot kcont request.)

tls 0d6723b09f Bump default size of vnode cache to 1% of physical memory, instead of
0.5%, based on some quick measurements on a number of workstations and
small fileservers (including my home fileserver running simultaneous
builds of the NetBSD source tree and several NetBSD kernels).  This
brings the hit rate on my machines from below 70% to above 90%.  We
should be able to tune this as we run, by tracking the hit rate and
increasing the size of the cache if memory permits.

Some systems will still require significantly larger cache sizes.  Some
ports -- notably the 64-bit ones -- probably should use more than 1% of
physmem as the default due to the larger size of struct vnode.

jdolecek 089abdad44 Rearrange process exit path to avoid need to free resources from different
process context ('reaper').

From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
  as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
  all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
  by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
  for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit

uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.

MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.

g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
