 1.9  23-Apr-2025  thorpej Add support for serializing to, and de-serializing from, JSON, as
specified in RFC 8259. Format is automatically detected for input,
and can be specified explicitly for output. The default format remains
XML.

As part of this change, generic prop_object_{internalize,externalize}()
functions are provided, and the "_with_format" flavor allows the output
format to be specified. Previous array- and dictionary-specific routines
remain for backwards compatibility.
 1.8  05-Dec-2008  ad branches: 1.8.50; 1.8.70;
Avoid conflicts with ZFS.
 1.7  28-Apr-2008  martin Remove clause 3 and 4 from TNF licenses
 1.6  30-Aug-2007  joerg branches: 1.6.6;
Avoid using unbound amount of stack frames in prop_object_equal
by using a dynamic stack as well. Reorder arguments for the internalizer
as the iteration is always present and should go before possibly
NULL arguments.

Several changes to proplib:
- Arrays can now be externalized and internalized in the same way
dictionaries can.
- Add new "externalize to file" and "internalize from file" functions
to make reading a property list from a file and writing a property
list to a file more convenient.
- Many assertions in the object implementations are gone. Instead,
calling an accessor for one object type with a different object type
as an argument will return a suitable "invalid" value.
- prop_object_type() now returns a new PROP_TYPE_UNKNOWN value if called
with a NULL object.
- Externalized property lists now contain a reference to the Apple XML
plist DTD.
- Add a new prop_ingest(3) facility, which provides a convenient way to
translate a dictionary into an arbitrary binary representation.
 1.3  18-May-2006  thorpej branches: 1.3.2;
- Add prop_array_equals(), prop_dictionary_equals(), and
prop_dictionary_keysym_equals(), and prop_object_equals() functions.
- Use realloc() where it makes sense. There will be more changes in this
area.
- Add a _prop_object_type structure that is used internally to keep
information about the object types. Decreases the footprint of the
objects slightly by replacing several pointers with just one.
 1.2  07-May-2006  he Make the conditional for defining boolean_t complement the conditional
in sys/sys/types.h -- also need to test _STANDALONE.
Fixes a build problem for vax.
 1.1  27-Apr-2006  thorpej Initial commit of proplib, a library for manipulating property lists and
converting to/from an XML external representation (based on Apple XML
property lists). Works in the kernel and user space.

Consider '\r' to be white space. Discussed with and also kept as local
change by freza. With this change, DOS style line endings work.

boolean_t -> bool
TRUE -> true
FALSE -> false

libprop is currently using a recursive parser. While this is fine for
userland, deeply nested arrays and dictionaries can easily overflow
the kernel stack and thereby force a panic.

Fix the internalizer and prop_object_release to use a separate call
stack and alter the dictionary and array handling to not recurse on
the C stack. The default stack has an inline depth of 16 elements,
which should keep the overhead reasonable.

This issue was found by Pavel Cahyna and Jachym Holecek.

Additionally add a limit for prop_object_copyin_ioctl to prevent user
programs from temporary allocating unbound amount of kernel memory.

Allow malloc to fail so that tight loops of userland processes can't
force panics by exhausting the kernel map.

Tested with the sample exploit of Jachym, his test suite and reviewed
by himself (initial patch), Christos Zoulas and Jason Thorpe.
struct plistref does not reference other proplib data types, so split it
in its own header file to be included by dkio.h. Fixes breakage due to
pollution from proplib.h in programs which include ioctl.h. Tested and OK
by dogcow@.

Attempt at fixing build failures after proplib was converted to bool:
FALSE -> false, TRUE -> true, boolean_t -> bool, int -> bool when
appropriate, include stdbool.h . proplib.h no longer provides boolean_t,
so it is necessary to change to bool.
From Tom Spindler (dogcow@).

Avoid using unbound amount of stack frames in prop_object_equal
by using a dynamic stack as well. Reorder arguments for the internalizer
as the iteration is always present and should go before possibly
NULL arguments.
