sysctl.7. Remove the list of MIBs from sysctl.8 so we don't have to
maintain duplicate information, as proposed by YAMAMOTO Takashi on
tech-userlevel. Also remove references to header files from sysctl.8.
The numeric constants remain documented, they are still needed in some
cases. See the discussion on tech-userlevel. ("mib list in sysctl.8")
OK by YAMAMOTO Takashi.
happen in the TCP stack, this interface calls the specified callback to
handle the situation according to the currently selected congestion
control algorithm.
A new sysctl node was created: net.inet.tcp.congctl.{available,selected}
with obvious meanings.
The old net.inet.tcp.newreno MIB was removed.
The API is discussed in tcp_congctl(9).
In the near future, it will be possible to selected a congestion control
algorithm on a per-socket basis.
Discussed on tech-net and reviewed by <yamt>.
Both available for IPv4 and IPv6.

fileassoc.diff adds a fileassoc_table_run() routine that allows you to
pass a callback to be called with every entry on a given mount.
veriexec.diff adds some raw device access policies: if raw disk is
opened at strict level 1, all fingerprints on this disk will be
invalidated as a safety measure. level 2 will not allow opening disk
for raw writing if we monitor it, and prevent raw writes to memory.
level 3 will not allow opening any disk for raw writing.
both update all relevant documentation.
veriexec concept is okay blymn@.
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.
tons of input from yamt@, wrstuden@, martin@, and christos@.
- Change #ifdef VERIFIED_EXEC_VERBOSE to another verbose level, 2. Add
sysctl(3) bits.
- Simplify access type conflict handling during load. This depends on
the values of access type defines to be ordered from least to most
'strict'.
- Better organize strict level. Now we have 4 levels:
- Level 0, learning mode: Warnings only about anything that might've
resulted in 'access denied' or similar in a higher strict level.
- Level 1, IDS mode:
- Deny access on fingerprint mismatch.
- Deny modification of veriexec tables.
- Level 2, IPS mode:
- All implications of strict level 1.
- Deny write access to monitored files.
- Prevent removal of monitored files.
- Enforce access type - 'direct', 'indirect', or 'file'.
- Level 3, lockdown mode:
- All implications of strict level 2.
- Prevent creation of new files.
- Deny access to non-monitored files.
- Update sysctl(3) man-page with above. (date bumped too :)
- Remove FINGERPRINT_INDIRECT from possible fp_status values; it's no
longer needed.
- Simplify veriexec_removechk() in light of new strict level policies.
- Eliminate use of 'securelevel'; veriexec now behaves according to
its strict level only.
New features:
- Add a veriexec_report() routine to make most reporting consistent and
remove some common code.
- Add 'strict' mode that controls how veriexec behaves.
- Add sysctl knobs:
o kern.veriexec.verbose controls verbosity levels. Value: 0, 1.
o kern.veriexec.strict controls strict level. Values: 0, 1, 2. See
documentation in sysctl(3) for details.
o kern.veriexec.algorithms returns a string with a space separated
list of supported hashing algorithms in veriexec.
- Updated documentation in man pages for sysctl(3) and sysctl(8).
Bug fixes:
- veriexec_removechk(): Code cleanup + handle FINGERPRINT_NOTEVAL
correctly.
- exec_script(): Don't pass 0 as flag when executing a script; use the
defined VERIEXEC_INDIRECT - which is 1. Makes indirect execution
enforcement work.
- Fix some printing formats and types..
