When I migrated tty_compat.c to MPSAFE TTY, I just hooked it up to the

this was not the smartest thing, because the old TTY layer also had a

This means our current COMPAT_43TTY code overwrites the TTY flags,
causing all strange problems to occur. Fix this code to use a new struct

- In the current design, when a TTY decreases its baud rate, it tries to
shrink the queues. This may not always be possible, because it will
not free any blocks that are still filled with data.
Change the TTY queues to store a `quota' value as well, which means it
will not free any blocks when changing the baud rate, but when placing
blocks back into the queue. When the amount of blocks exceeds the
quota, they get freed.
It also fixes some edge cases, where TIOCSETA during read()/
write()-calls could actually make the queue a tiny bit bigger than in
normal cases.
- Don't leak blocks of memory when calling TIOCSETA when the device
driver abandons the TTY while allocating memory.
- Create ttyoutq_init() and ttyinq_init() to initialize the queues,
instead of initializing them by hand. The new TTY snoop driver also
creates an outq, so it's good to have a proper interface to do this.

it is currently off by default) and the filesystem supports shared lookups
(e.g. NFS client). Specifically, if multiple concurrent LOOKUPs both miss
in the name cache in parallel, each of the lookups may each end up adding an
entry to the namecache resulting in duplicate entries in the namecache
for the same pathname. A subsequent removal of the mapping of that
pathname to that vnode (via remove or rename) would only evict one of the
entries from the name cache. As a result, subseqent lookups for that
pathname would still return the old vnode.
This race was observed with shared lookups over NFS where a file was updated
by writing a new file out to a temporary file name and then renaming that
temporary file to the "real" file to effect atomic updates of a file. Other
processes on the same client that were periodically reading the file would
occasionally receive an ESTALE error from open(2) because the VOP_GETATTR()
in nfs_open() would receive that error when given the stale vnode.
The fix here is to check for duplicates in cache_enter() and just return
if an entry for this same directory and leaf file name for this vnode is
already in the cache. The check for duplicates is done by walking the
per-vnode list of name cache entries. It is expected that this list should
be very small in the common case (usually 0 or 1 entries during a
cache_enter() since most files only have 1 "leaf" name).

Unlike pre-MPSAFE TTY, the pts(4) driver always returned ENXIO when a
read() or write() was performed on a pseudo-terminal master device when
the slave device was not opened. The old implementation had different
semantics:
- When the slave device had not been opened yet, read() and write() just
blocked.
- When the slave device had been closed, a read() call would return 0
bytes length.
- When the slave device had been closed, a write() call would return
EIO.
Change the new implementation to return 0 and EIO as well. We don't
implement the first rule, but I suspect this is not needed, because

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

routine wakes up proc0 so that proc0 can swap the thread back in.
Historically, this has been done by waking up proc0 directly from
setrunnable() itself via a wakeup(). When waking up a sleeping thread
that was swapped out (the usual case when waking proc0 since only sleeping
threads are eligible to be swapped out), this resulted in a bit of
recursion (e.g. wakeup() -> setrunnable() -> wakeup()).
With sleep queues having separate locks in 6.x and later, this caused a
spin lock LOR (sleepq lock -> sched_lock/thread lock -> sleepq lock).
An attempt was made to fix this in 7.0 by making the proc0 wakeup use
the ithread mechanism for doing the wakeup. However, this required
grabbing proc0's thread lock to perform the wakeup. If proc0 was asleep
elsewhere in the kernel (e.g. waiting for disk I/O), then this degenerated
into the same LOR since the thread lock would be some other sleepq lock.
Fix this by deferring the wakeup of the swapper until after the sleepq
lock held by the upper layer has been locked. The setrunnable() routine
now returns a boolean value to indicate whether or not proc0 needs to be
woken up. The end result is that consumers of the sleepq API such as
*sleep/wakeup, condition variables, sx locks, and lockmgr, have to wakeup
proc0 if they get a non-zero return value from sleepq_abort(),
sleepq_broadcast(), or sleepq_signal().

processes are not producing absolute pathname tokens. It is required

vn_fullpath_global is a wrapper function which called vn_fullpath1.
Further, the string parsing routines have been converted to use the

of Giant, since the vn_fullpath1 method will not dip into file system

The vnode locking was modified to use vhold()/vdrop() instead the vref()

event handlers) as the normal file descriptor operations handle all of
that for us nicely. It is also suggested as one possible implementation
in the spec and at least one other OS (OS X) uses this approach.
Some bugs that were fixed as a result include:
- References to a named semaphore whose name is removed still work after
the sem_unlink() operation. Prior to this patch, if a semaphore's name
was removed, valid handles from sem_open() would get EINVAL errors from
sem_getvalue(), sem_post(), etc. This fixes that.
- Unnamed semaphores created with sem_init() were not cleaned up when a
process exited or exec'd. They were only cleaned up if the process
did an explicit sem_destroy(). This could result in a leak of semaphore
objects that could never be cleaned up.
- On the other hand, if another process guessed the id (kernel pointer to
'struct ksem' of an unnamed semaphore (created via sem_init)) and had
write access to the semaphore based on UID/GID checks, then that other
process could manipulate the semaphore via sem_destroy(), sem_post(),
sem_wait(), etc.
- As part of the permission check (UID/GID), the umask of the proces
creating the semaphore was not honored. Thus if your umask denied group
read/write access but the explicit mode in the sem_init() call allowed
it, the semaphore would be readable/writable by other users in the
same group, for example. This includes access via the previous bug.
- If the module refused to unload because there were active semaphores,
then it might have deregistered one or more of the semaphore system
calls before it noticed that there was a problem. I'm not sure if
this actually happened as the order that modules are discovered by the
kernel linker depends on how the actual .ko file is linked. One can
make the order deterministic by using a single module with a mod_event
handler that explicitly registers syscalls (and deregisters during
unload after any checks). This also fixes a race where even if the
sem_module unloaded first it would have destroyed locks that the
syscalls might be trying to access if they are still executing when
they are unloaded.
XXX: By the way, deregistering system calls doesn't do any blocking
to drain any threads from the calls.
- Some minor fixes to errno values on error. For example, sem_init()
isn't documented to return ENFILE or EMFILE if we run out of semaphores
the way that sem_open() can. Instead, it should return ENOSPC in that
case.
Other changes:
- Kernel semaphores now use a hash table to manage the namespace of
named semaphores nearly in a similar fashion to the POSIX shared memory
object file descriptors. Kernel semaphores can now also have names
longer than 14 chars (up to MAXPATHLEN) and can include subdirectories
in their pathname.
- The UID/GID permission checks for access to a named semaphore are now
done via vaccess() rather than a home-rolled set of checks.
- Now that kernel semaphores have an associated file object, the various
MAC checks for POSIX semaphores accept both a file credential and an
active credential. There is also a new posixsem_check_stat() since it
is possible to fstat() a semaphore file descriptor.
- A small set of regression tests (using the ksem API directly) is present
in src/tools/regression/posixsem.

so we cannot compile it with -fstack-protector[-all] flags (or
it will self-recurse); this is ensured in sys/conf/files. This
OTOH means that checking for defines __SSP__ and __SSP_ALL__ to
determine if we should be compiling the support is impossible
(which it was trying, resulting in an empty object file). Fix
this by always compiling the symbols in this files. It's good
because it allows us to always have SSP support, and then compile
with SSP selectively.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.

locked and unlocked completely in userland. by locking and unlocking mutex
in userland, it reduces the total time a mutex is locked by a thread,
in some application code, a mutex only protects a small piece of code, the
code's execution time is less than a simple system call, if a lock contention
happens, however in current implemenation, the lock holder has to extend its
locking time and enter kernel to unlock it, the change avoids this disadvantage,
it first sets mutex to free state and then enters kernel and wake one waiter
up. This improves performance dramatically in some sysbench mutex tests.

FIFO, as required by SUSv3. No specific privilege check is performed
in this case, as FIFOs may be created by unprivileged processes
(subject to the normal file system name space restrictions that may be
in place).
Unlike the Apple implementation, we reject requests to create a FIFO
using mknod(2) if there is a non-zero dev argument to the system call,
which is permitted by the Open Group specification ("... undefined
..."). We might want to revise this if we find it causes
compatibility problems for applications in practice.

Now that we got rid of the minor-to-unit conversion and the constraints
on device minor numbers, we can convert the functions that operate on
minor and unit numbers to simple macro's. The unit2minor() and
minor2unit() macro's are now no-ops.
The ZFS code als defined a macro named `minor'. Change the ZFS code to
use umajor() and uminor() here, as it is the correct approach to do
this. Also add $FreeBSD$ to keep SVN happy.

Except for the case where we use the cloner library (clone_create() and
friends), there is no reason to enforce a unique device minor number
policy. There are various drivers in the source tree that allocate unr
pools and such to provide minor numbers, without using them themselves.
Because we still need to support unique device minor numbers for the
cloner library, introduce a new flag called D_NEEDMINOR. All cdevsw's
that are used in combination with the cloner library should be marked
with this flag to make the cloning work.
This means drivers can now freely use si_drv0 to store their own flags
and state, making it effectively the same as si_drv1 and si_drv2. We
still keep the minor() and dev2unit() routines around to make drivers
happy.
The NTFS code also used the minor number in its hash table. We should
not do this anymore. If the si_drv0 field would be changed, it would no
longer end up in the same list.

The Giant lock is acquired in two places in tty_tty.c. In both places,
it is unneeded.
There is no reason to specify D_NEEDGIANT on this device node. The
device node has only been designed to return ENXIO when opened. It
doesn't make any sense to lock/unlock Giant, just to return this error.
D_TTY is also unneeded. The unimplemented functions don't need to be
patched by devfs.
We don't need to lock Giant when we want to lookup the proper TTY vnode.
s_ttyvp is already protected by proctree_lock (see devfs_vnops.c).

Even though we got rid of device major numbers some time ago, device
drivers still need to provide unique device minor numbers to make_dev().
These numbers are only used inside the kernel. They are not related to
device major and minor numbers which are visible in devfs. These are
actually based on the inode number of the device.
It would eventually be nice to remove minor numbers entirely, but we
don't want to be too agressive here.
Because the 8-15 bits of the device number field (si_drv0) are still
reserved for the major number, there is no 1:1 mapping of the device
minor and unit numbers. Because this is now unused, remove the
restrictions on these numbers.
The MAXMAJOR definition was actually used for two purposes. It was used
to convert both the userspace and kernelspace device numbers to their
major/minor pair, which is why it is now named UMINORMASK.
minor2unit() and unit2minor() have now become useless. Both minor() and
dev2unit() now serve the same purpose. We should eventually remove some
of them, at least turning them into macro's. If devfs would become
completely minor number unaware, we could consider using si_drv0 directly,
just like si_drv1 and si_drv2.

Right now we perform some of the checks inside the fcntl()'s F_DUPFD
operation twice. We first validate the `fd' argument. When finished,
we validate the `arg' argument. These checks are also performed inside
do_dup().
The reason we need to do this, is because fcntl() should return different
errno's when the `arg' argument is out of bounds (EINVAL instead of
EBADF). To prevent the redundant locking of the PROC_LOCK and
FILEDESC_SLOCK, patch do_dup() to support the error semantics required
by fcntl().

Because clists are also used outside the TTY layer, rename the file
containing the clist routines to something more accurate.
The mpsafetty TTY layer doesn't use clists. It uses its own buffers,
which also implement the unbuffered copying to userspace. We cannot
simply remove the clist routines then, because this would break various
drivers that are present within the kernel.
