- DTrace scripts to check for errors, performance, ...
they serve mostly as examples of what you can do with the static probe;s
with moderate load the scripts may be overwhelmed, excessive lock-tracing
may influence program behavior (see the last design decission)
Design decissions:
- use "linuxulator" as the provider for the native bitsize; add the
bitsize for the non-native emulation (e.g. "linuxuator32" on amd64)
- Add probes only for locks which are acquired in one function and released
in another function. Locks which are aquired and released in the same
function should be easy to pair in the code, inter-function
locking is more easy to verify in DTrace.
- Probes for locks should be fired after locking and before releasing to
prevent races (to provide data/function stability in DTrace, see the
man-page of "dtrace -v ..." and the corresponding DTrace docs).
but GNU libc used it without checking its kernel version, e. g., Fedora 10.
- Move pipe(2) implementation for Linuxulator from MD files to MI file,
sys/compat/linux/linux_file.c. There is no MD code for this syscall at all.
- Correct an argument type for pipe() from l_ulong * to l_int *. Probably
this was the source of MI/MD confusion.

Vnode-backed mappings cannot be put into the kernel map, since it is a
system map.
Use exec_map for transient mappings, and remove the mappings with
kmem_free_wakeup() to notify the waiters on available map space.
Do not map the whole executable into KVA at all to copy it out into
usermode. Directly use vn_rdwr() for the case of not page aligned
binary.
There is one place left where the potentially unbounded amount of data
is mapped into exec_map, namely, in the COFF image activator
enumeration of the needed shared libraries.

The current code mixes the use of `flags' and `mode'. This is a bit
confusing, since the faccessat() function as a `flag' parameter to store
the AT_ flag.
Make this less confusing by using the same name as used in the POSIX

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

A "process descriptor" file descriptor is used to manage processes
without using the PID namespace. This is required for Capsicum's
Capability Mode, where the PID namespace is unavailable.
New system calls pdfork(2) and pdkill(2) offer the functional equivalents
of fork(2) and kill(2). pdgetpid(2) allows querying the PID of the remote
process for debugging purposes. The currently-unimplemented pdwait(2) will,
in the future, allow querying rusage/exit status. In the interim, poll(2)
may be used to check (and wait for) process termination.
When a process is referenced by a process descriptor, it does not issue
SIGCHLD to the parent, making it suitable for use in libraries---a common
scenario when using library compartmentalisation from within large
applications (such as web browsers). Some observers may note a similarity
to Mach task ports; process descriptors provide a subset of this behaviour,
but in a UNIX style.
This feature is enabled by "options PROCDESC", but as with several other
Capsicum kernel features, is not enabled by default in GENERIC 9.0.

kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

I have not properly thought through the commit. After r220031 (linux
compat: improve and fix sendmsg/recvmsg compatibility) the basic
handling for SO_PASSCRED is not sufficient as it breaks recvmsg
functionality for SCM_CREDS messages because now we would need to handle
sockcred data in addition to cmsgcred. And that is not implemented yet.
