<sys/types.h> in user-land programs. Doing so causes build problems
for lots of our ports due to differences in how <sys/bswap.h> ends up
defining the swap functions/macros.
shutdown). There are still problems with device access and a PR will be
filed.
- Kill checkalias(). Allow multiple vnodes to reference a single device.
- Don't play dangerous tricks with block vnodes to ensure that only one
vnode can describe a block device. Instead, prohibit concurrent opens of
block devices. As a bonus remove the unreliable code that prevents
multiple file system mounts on the same device. It's no longer needed.
- Track opens by vnode and by device. Issue cdev_close() when the last open
goes away, instead of abusing vnode::v_usecount to tell if the device is
open.
table, so always read the table from kernel virtual memory at that
address. Do not ever try to read the table from filed0.fd_dfiles,
because it just isn't necessary, and sometimes we read a stale
table from there.
FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
vp->v_specinfo to get the proper st_dev and st_rdev numbers. We're
already picking over the kernel, so let's do it right. That means
also asserting the file type for the /dev/pts directory (S_IFDIR) and
nodes therein (S_IFCHR).
Remove getptsmajor(), since we no longer need it. Besides, it was
being used wrongly.
they are indirectly gotten from kernel memory and as such should be read
with KVM_READ.
This fixes fstat core dumps when some process holds a reference in a Linux
ext2fs filesystem.
Thanks to Aleksy Schubert (alx.at.mimuw.dot.edu.dot.pl) for debugging this
with me.
64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few
other things.
This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended
storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later.

- "An asterisk (``*'')" instead of "A (``*'')" to be more consistient with
rest of this manpage.
- Fix typo; ``w'' instead of ``''.
- There is no section named Sockets. There is only SOCKETS.
* There is no -indent option to .Bd or .Bl, although you would
never know that from its frequent use in this tree. There is a
"-offset indent" combination that makes sense, and you can certainly
say "-width indent".
* Also, you can't markup the -width option argument, tho you CAN
use a callable macro. So "-width Ar filename" doesn't make sense,
but either "-width Ar" or "-width filename" does, as might something
like "-width xxfilename" for a little extra space.
* There are a lot of needlessly complex hanging tag macros in man4 used
to create simple item lists. Those should be simplified one of these
days before someone copies and edits yet another man4 page.
