Replace AUDIT_ARG() with variable argument macros with a set more more
specific macros for each audit argument type. This makes it easier to
follow call-graphs, especially for automated analysis tools (such as
fxr).

In MFC, we should leave the existing AUDIT_ARG() macros as they may be
used by third-party kernel modules.

Implement global and per-uid accounting of the anonymous memory. Add
rlimit RLIMIT_SWAP that limits the amount of swap that may be reserved
for the uid.

The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.

The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.

The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by
kernel, e.g. md(4).

Several syscalls, among them is fork(2), may now return ENOMEM when
global or per-uid limits are enforced.

Adapt vfs kqfilter to the shared vnode lock used by zfs write vop. Use
vnode interlock to protect the knote fields [1]. The locking assumes
that shared vnode lock is held, thus we get exclusive access to knote
either by exclusive vnode lock protection, or by shared vnode lock +
vnode interlock.

Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.

Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.

Add convenience function knlist_init_mtx to reduce number of arguments
for typical knlist initialization.

Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails. 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.

Introduce a new virtualization container, provisionally named vprocg, to hold
virtualized instances of hostname and domainname, as well as a new top-level
virtualization struct vimage, which holds pointers to struct vnet and struct
vprocg. Struct vprocg is likely to become replaced in the near future with
a new jail management API import.

As a consequence of this change, change struct ucred to point to a struct
vimage, instead of directly pointing to a vnet.

Merge vnet / vimage / ucred refcounting infrastructure from p4 / vimage
branch.

Permit kldload / kldunload operations to be executed only from the default
vimage context.

This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE kernel

Change the curvnet variable from a global const struct vnet *,
previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one. The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE(). Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.

This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.

The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc. Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.

The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.

This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

Several threads in a process may do vfork() simultaneously. Then, all
parent threads sleep on the parent' struct proc until corresponding
child releases the vmspace. Each sleep is interlocked with proc mutex of
the child, that triggers assertion in the sleepq_add(). The assertion
requires that at any time, all simultaneous sleepers for the channel use
the same interlock.

Silent the assertion by using conditional variable allocated in the
child. Broadcast the variable event on exec() and exit().

Since struct proc * sleep wait channel is overloaded for several
unrelated events, I was unable to remove wakeups from the places where
cv_broadcast() is added, except exec().

MFp4:
Bring in updated jail support from bz_jail branch.

This enhances the current jail implementation to permit multiple
addresses per jail. In addtion to IPv4, IPv6 is supported as well.
Due to updated checks it is even possible to have jails without
an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chroot with
restricted process view, no networking,..

SCTP support was updated and supports IPv6 in jails as well.

Cpuset support permits jails to be bound to specific processor
sets after creation.

Jails can have an unrestricted (no duplicate protection, etc.) name
in addition to the hostname. The jail name cannot be changed from
within a jail and is considered to be used for management purposes
or as audit-token in the future.

DDB 'show jails' command was added to aid debugging.

Proper compat support permits 32bit jail binaries to be used on 64bit
systems to manage jails. Also backward compatibility was preserved where
possible: for jail v1 syscalls, as well as with user space management
utilities.

Both jail as well as prison version were updated for the new features.
A gap was intentionally left as the intermediate versions had been
used by various patches floating around the last years.

Bump __FreeBSD_version for the afore mentioned and in kernel changes.

Special thanks to:
- Pawel Jakub Dawidek (pjd) for his multi-IPv4 patches
and Olivier Houchard (cognet) for initial single-IPv6 patches.

Do the pargs_hold() on the copy of the pointer to the p_args of the
child process immediately after bulk bcopy() without dropping the
process lock.

Since process is not single-threaded when forking, dropping and
reacquiring the lock allows an other thread to change the process title
of the parent in between, and results in hold being done on the invalid
pointer. The problem manifested itself as the double free of the old
p_args.

The kqueue_register() function assumes that it is called from the top of
the syscall code and acquires various event subsystem locks as needed.
The handling of the NOTE_TRACK for EVFILT_PROC is currently done by
calling the kqueue_register() from filt_proc() filter, causing recursive
entrance of the kqueue code. This results in the LORs and recursive
acquisition of the locks.

Implement the variant of the knote() function designed to only handle
the fork() event. It mostly copies the knote() body, but also handles
the NOTE_TRACK, removing the handling from the filt_proc(), where it
causes problems described above. The function is called from the fork1()
instead of knote().

When encountering NOTE_TRACK knote, it marks the knote as influx
and drops the knlist and kqueue lock. In this context call to
kqueue_register is safe from the problems.

An error from the kqueue_register() is reported to the observer as
NOTE_TRACKERR fflag.

Fix for the panic("vm_thread_new: kstack allocation failed") and
silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.

As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.

The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).

Merge first in a series of TrustedBSD MAC Framework KPI changes

The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,
some entry point names.

All MAC policy modules will need to be recompiled, and modules
not updates as part of this commit will need to be modified to
conform to the new KPI.
