Remove direct access to si_name.

2012-02-10T12:35:57Z

Code should just use the devtoname() function to obtain the name of a character device. Also add const keywords to pieces of code that need it to build properly. MFC after: 2 weeks

Second-to-last commit implementing Capsicum capabilities in the FreeBSD

2011-08-11T12:30:23Z

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.

Linux' shm_open() fails because it wants to find some funky shmfs

2011-02-09T20:23:22Z

to construct the full pathname. It starts to search at the default mountpoint which is /dev/shm. If this fails it runs through fstab and searches for shmfs and tmpfs. Whatever it finds will be statfs()'ed to be checked for Linux' fs magic for shmfs (0x01021994). Ideally our tmpfs should deliver this fs magic to Linux processes, but as our tmpfs is considered to be an experimental feature we can not assume that there is always a tmpfs available. To make shared memory work in the Linuxulator, force the fs type of /dev/shm (which can be a symlink) to match what Linux expects. The user is responsible (info has to be added to the linux base ports and the docs) to setup a suitable link for /dev/shm.

Rename st_timespec fields to st_tim for POSIX 2008 compliance.

2010-03-28T13:13:22Z

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision, namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names. This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less ambiguous. I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.

No need to include security/mac/mac_framework.h here.

Move the per-prison Linux MIB from a private one-off pointer to the new

Don't make Linux stat() open character devices to resolve its name.

2009-02-20T13:05:29Z

The existing code calls kern_open() to resolve the vnode of a pathname right after a stat(). This is not correct, because it causes random character devices to be opened in /dev. This means ls'ing a tape streamer will cause it to rewind, for example. Changes I have made: - Add kern_statat_vnhook() to allow binary emulators to `post-process' struct stat, using the proper vnode. - Remove unneeded printf's from stat() and statfs(). - Make the Linuxolator use kern_statat_vnhook(), replacing translate_path_major_minor_at(). - Let translate_fd_major_minor() use vp->v_rdev instead of vp->v_un.vu_cdev. Result: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0, 14 Feb 20 13:54 /dev/ptmx crw--w---- 1 root adm 136, 0 Feb 20 14:03 /dev/pts/0 crw--w---- 1 root adm 136, 1 Feb 20 14:02 /dev/pts/1 crw--w---- 1 ed tty 136, 2 Feb 20 14:03 /dev/pts/2 Before this commit, ptmx also had a major number of 136, because it silently allocated and deallocated a pseudo-terminal. Device nodes that cannot be opened now have proper major/minor-numbers. Reviewed by: kib, netchild, rdivacky (thanks!)

Last step of splitting up minor and unit numbers: remove minor().

2009-01-28T17:57:16Z

Inside the kernel, the minor() function was responsible for obtaining the device minor number of a character device. Because we made device numbers dynamically allocated and independent of the unit number passed to make_dev() a long time ago, it was actually a misnomer. If you really want to obtain the device number, you should use dev2udev(). We already converted all the drivers to use dev2unit() to obtain the device unit number, which is still used by a lot of drivers. I've noticed not a single driver passes NULL to dev2unit(). Even if they would, its behaviour would make little sense. This is why I've removed the NULL check. Ths commit removes minor(), minor2unit() and unit2minor() from the kernel. Because there was a naming collision with uminor(), we can rename umajor() and uminor() back to major() and minor(). This means that the makedev(3) manual page also applies to kernel space code now. I suspect umajor() and uminor() isn't used that often in external code, but to make it easier for other parties to port their code, I've increased __FreeBSD_version to 800062.
