Olivier Certner eb94f24fab p_candebug(9): cr_bsd_visible() impacts, misc fixes
Mention cr_bsd_visible(9).  Remove references to cr_canseeothergids(9)
and cr_canseeotheruids(9), as well as indirect references not
immediately useful.

Fix description of credentials checks to match reality.

Re-order errors to match code's check order.

.Dt P_CANDEBUG 9
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm p_candebug
.Nd determine debuggability of a process
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In sys/proc.h
.Ft int
.Fn p_candebug "struct thread *td" "struct proc *p"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This function determines if a given process
.Fa p
is debuggable by some thread
.Fa td .
.Pp
The following
.Xr sysctl 8
variables directly influence the behaviour of
.Fn p_candebug :
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug
Must be set to a non-zero value to allow unprivileged processes
access to the kernel's debug facilities.
.It Va kern.securelevel
Debugging of the init process is not allowed if this variable is
.Li 1
or greater.
.El
.Pp
Other such variables indirectly influence it; see
.Xr cr_bsd_visible 9 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn p_candebug
function
returns
.Li 0
if the process denoted by
.Fa p
is debuggable by thread
.Fa td ,
or a non-zero error return value otherwise.
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EPERM
An unprivileged process attempted to debug another process but the system is
configured to deny it
.Po
see
.Xr sysctl 8
variable
.Va security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug
above
.Pc .
.It Bq Er ESRCH
Thread
.Fa td
has been jailed and the process to debug does not belong to the same jail or one
of its sub-jails, as determined by
.Xr prison_check 9 .
.It Bq Er ESRCH
.Xr cr_bsd_visible 9
denied visibility according to the BSD security policies in force.
.It Bq Er EPERM
Thread
.Fa td
lacks superuser credentials and its (effective) group set is not a superset of
process
.Fa p Ns 's
whole group set
.Pq "including real, effective and saved group IDs" .
.It Bq Er EPERM
Thread
.Fa td
lacks superuser credentials and its (effective) user ID does not match all user
IDs of process
.Fa p .
.It Bq Er EPERM
Thread
.Fa td
lacks superuser credentials and process
.Fa p
is executing a set-user-ID or set-group-ID executable.
.It Bq Er EPERM
Process
.Fa p
denotes the initial process
.Fn initproc
and the
.Xr sysctl 8
variable
.Va kern.securelevel
is greater than zero.
.It Bq Er EBUSY
Process
.Fa p
is in the process of being
.Fn exec Ns 'ed.
.It Bq Er EPERM
Process
.Fa p
denied debuggability
