This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature. This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do. For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers". Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own hostname. Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is that each customer can run their own particular version of apache and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors. It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail still takes a little knowledge. A few notes: I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them. The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces. mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable. /proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for jailed processes. Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison. There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging. Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

Along with the system call, put the various security.jail.allow_foo and security.jail.foo_allowed sysctls partly under COMPAT_FREEBSD11 (or BURN_BRIDGES). These sysctls had two disparate uses: on the system side, they were global permissions for jails created via jail(2) which lacked fine-grained permission controls; inside a jail, they're read-only descriptions of what the current jail is allowed to do.

.Fn jail_set
system call creates a new jail, or modifies an existing one, and optionally
locks the current process in it.
Jail parameters are passed as an array of name-value pairs in the array
.Fa iov ,
containing
.Fa niov
elements.
Parameter names are a null-terminated string, and values may be strings,
integers, or other arbitrary data.
Some parameters are boolean, and do not have a value (their length is zero)
but are set by the name alone with or without a
.Dq no
prefix, e.g.
.Va persist
or
.Va nopersist .
Any parameters not set will be given default values, generally based on
the current environment.
.Pp
Jails have a set of core parameters, and modules can add their own jail
parameters.
The current set of available parameters, and their formats, can be
retrieved via the
.Va security.jail.param
sysctl MIB entry.
Put jail(2) under COMPAT_FREEBSD11. It has been the "old" way of creating jails since FreeBSD 7. Along with the system call, put the various security.jail.allow_foo and security.jail.foo_allowed sysctls partly under COMPAT_FREEBSD11 (or BURN_BRIDGES).

See
.Xr jail 8
for more information on the core jail parameters.
.Pp
The
.Fa flags
arguments consists of one or more of the following flags:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Dv JAIL_CREATE
Create a new jail.
If a
.Va jid
or
.Va name
parameters exists, they must not refer to an existing jail.
.It Dv JAIL_UPDATE
Modify an existing jail.
One of the
.Va jid
or
.Va name
parameters must exist, and must refer to an existing jail.
If both
.Dv JAIL_CREATE
and
.Dv JAIL_UPDATE
are set, a jail will be created if it does not yet exist, and modified if it
does exist.
.It Dv JAIL_ATTACH
In addition to creating or modifying the jail, attach the current process to
it, as with the
.Fn jail_attach
system call.
.It Dv JAIL_DYING
Allow setting a jail that is in the process of being removed.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn jail_get
system call retrieves jail parameters, using the same name-value list as
.Fn jail_set
in the
.Fa iov
and
.Fa niov
arguments.
The jail to read can be specified by either
.Va jid
or
.Va name
by including those parameters in the list.
If they are included but are not intended to be the search key, they
should be cleared (zero and the empty string respectively).
.Pp
The special parameter
.Va lastjid
can be used to retrieve a list of all jails.
It will fetch the jail with the jid above and closest to the passed value.
The first jail (usually but not always jid 1) can be found by passing a
.Va lastjid
of zero.
.Pp
The
.Fa flags
arguments consists of one or more following flags:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Dv JAIL_DYING
Allow getting a jail that is in the process of being removed.

Introduce the extensible jail framework, using the same "name=value" interface as nmount(2). Three new system calls are added: * jail_set, to create jails and change the parameters of existing jails. This replaces jail(2). * jail_get, to read the parameters of existing jails. This replaces the security.jail.list sysctl. * jail_remove to kill off a jail's processes and remove the jail. Most jail parameters may now be changed after creation, and jails may be set to exist without any attached processes.

This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature. This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do. For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers". Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own hostname. Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is that each customer can run their own particular version of apache and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors. It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail still takes a little knowledge. A few notes: I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them. The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces. mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable. /proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for jailed processes. Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison. There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging. Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!) If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome! Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome. Have fun...

Child jails may be restricted more than their parents, but never less. Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style dot-separated strings. Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which contains information about the physical system. Prison0's root directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel. Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which should not cause any problems for code that properly uses securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge(). Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and set via sysctls are now per-jail settings. The sysctls still exist for backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system call. Approved by: bz (mentor)
