paravirt_membar_sync(9): New memory barrier.

For use in paravirtualized drivers which require store-before-load
ordering -- irrespective of whether the kernel is built for a single
processor, or whether the (virtual) machine is booted with a single
processor.

This is even required on architectures that don't even have a
store-before-load ordering barrier, like m68k; adding, e.g., a virtio
bus is _as if_ the architecture has been extended with relaxed memory
ordering when talking with that new bus. Such architectures need
some way to request the hypervisor enforce that ordering -- on m68k,
that's done by issuing a CASL instruction, which qemu maps to an
atomic r/m/w with sequential consistency ordering in the host.

Rewrite entropy subsystem.

Primary goals:

1. Use cryptography primitives designed and vetted by cryptographers.
2. Be honest about entropy estimation.
3. Propagate full entropy as soon as possible.
4. Simplify the APIs.
5. Reduce overhead of rnd_add_data and cprng_strong.
6. Reduce side channels of HWRNG data and human input sources.
7. Improve visibility of operation with sysctl and event counters.

Caveat: rngtest is no longer used generically for RND_TYPE_RNG
rndsources. Hardware RNG devices should have hardware-specific
health tests. For example, checking for two repeated 256-bit outputs
works to detect AMD's 2019 RDRAND bug. Not all hardware RNGs are
necessarily designed to produce exactly uniform output.

ENTROPY POOL

- A Keccak sponge, with test vectors, replaces the old LFSR/SHA-1
kludge as the cryptographic primitive.

- `Entropy depletion' is available for testing purposes with a sysctl
knob kern.entropy.depletion; otherwise it is disabled, and once the
system reaches full entropy it is assumed to stay there as far as
modern cryptography is concerned.

- No `entropy estimation' based on sample values. Such `entropy
estimation' is a contradiction in terms, dishonest to users, and a
potential source of side channels. It is the responsibility of the
driver author to study the entropy of the process that generates
the samples.

- Per-CPU gathering pools avoid contention on a global queue.

- Entropy is occasionally consolidated into global pool -- as soon as
it's ready, if we've never reached full entropy, and with a rate
limit afterward. Operators can force consolidation now by running
sysctl -w kern.entropy.consolidate=1.

- rndsink(9) API has been replaced by an epoch counter which changes
whenever entropy is consolidated into the global pool.
. Usage: Cache entropy_epoch() when you seed. If entropy_epoch()
has changed when you're about to use whatever you seeded, reseed.
. Epoch is never zero, so initialize cache to 0 if you want to reseed
on first use.
. Epoch is -1 iff we have never reached full entropy -- in other
words, the old rnd_initial_entropy is (entropy_epoch() != -1) --
but it is better if you check for changes rather than for -1, so
that if the system estimated its own entropy incorrectly, entropy
consolidation has the opportunity to prevent future compromise.

- Sysctls and event counters provide operator visibility into what's
happening:
. kern.entropy.needed - bits of entropy short of full entropy
. kern.entropy.pending - bits known to be pending in per-CPU pools,
can be consolidated with sysctl -w kern.entropy.consolidate=1
. kern.entropy.epoch - number of times consolidation has happened,
never 0, and -1 iff we have never reached full entropy

CPRNG_STRONG

- A cprng_strong instance is now a collection of per-CPU NIST
Hash_DRBGs. There are only two in the system: user_cprng for
/dev/urandom and sysctl kern.?random, and kern_cprng for kernel
users which may need to operate in interrupt context up to IPL_VM.

(Calling cprng_strong in interrupt context does not strike me as a
particularly good idea, so I added an event counter to see whether
anything actually does.)

- Event counters provide operator visibility into when reseeding
happens.

Document percpu_foreach_xcall().

New function percpu_create.

Associates a constructor and destructor with the percpu. Currently
the constructor runs immediately, but in principle we could use the
same API for future CPU hotplug support.

This lets you sleep for allocation or draining users before
deallocation when setting up or tearing down a percpu -- currently we
have many abuses of percpu_foreach in tree for that purpose.

Update manpages respond to isaki-audio2 branch.

Overhaul the API used to fetch and store individual memory cells in

subyte(), suword(), etc.) are retired and replaced with new ufetch(9)
and ustore(9) APIs that can return proper error codes, etc. and are
implemented consistently across all platforms. The interrupt-safe
variants are no longer supported (and several of the existing attempts
at fuswintr(), etc. were buggy and not actually interrupt-safe).

Also augmement the ucas(9) API, making it consistently available on
all plaforms, supporting uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, even
those that do not have CAS or LL/SC primitives.

Welcome to NetBSD 8.99.37.

Install spi.9 and friends.

Add threadpool(9), an abstraction that provides shared pools of kernel
threads running at specific priorities, with support for unbound pools
and per-cpu pools.

Written by riastradh@, and based on the May 2014 draft, with a few changes
by me:
- Working on the assumption that a relative few priorities will actually
be used, reduce the memory footprint by using linked lists, rather than
2 large (and mostly empty) tables. The performance impact is essentially
nil, since these lists are consulted only when pools are created (and
destroyed, for DIAGNOSTIC checks), and the lists will have at most 225
entries.
- Make threadpool job object, which the caller must allocate storage for,
really opaque.
- Use typedefs for the threadpool types, to reduce the verbosity of the
API somewhat.
- Fix a bunch of pool / worker thread / job object lifecycle bugs.

Also include an ATF unit test, written by me, that exercises the basics
of the API by loading a kernel module that exposes several sysctls that
allow the ATF test script to create and destroy threadpools, schedule a
basic job, and verify that it ran.

And thus NetBSD 8.99.29 has arrived.

Update the man page, we don't want M_COPY_PKTHDR, M_MOVE_PKTHDR, MH_ALIGN

First part of secmodel cleanup and other misc. changes:

- Separate the suser part of the bsd44 secmodel into its own secmodel
and directory, pending even more cleanups. For revision history
purposes, the original location of the files was

src/sys/secmodel/bsd44/secmodel_bsd44_suser.c
src/sys/secmodel/bsd44/suser.h

- Add a man-page for secmodel_suser(9) and update the one for
secmodel_bsd44(9).

- Add a "secmodel" module class and use it. Userland program and
documentation updated.

- Manage secmodel count (nsecmodels) through the module framework.
This eliminates the need for secmodel_{,de}register() calls in
secmodel code.

- Prepare for secmodel modularization by adding relevant module bits.
The secmodels don't allow auto unload. The bsd44 secmodel depends
on the suser and securelevel secmodels. The overlay secmodel depends
on the bsd44 secmodel. As the module class is only cosmetic, and to
prevent ambiguity, the bsd44 and overlay secmodels are prefixed with
"secmodel_".

- Adapt the overlay secmodel to recent changes (mainly vnode scope).

- Stop using link-sets for the sysctl node(s) creation.

- Keep sysctl variables under nodes of their relevant secmodels. In
other words, don't create duplicates for the suser/securelevel
secmodels under the bsd44 secmodel, as the latter is merely used
for "grouping".

- For the suser and securelevel secmodels, "advertise presence" in
relevant sysctl nodes (sysctl.security.models.{suser,securelevel}).

- Get rid of the LKM preprocessor stuff.

- As secmodels are now modules, there's no need for an explicit call
to secmodel_start(); it's handled by the module framework. That
said, the module framework was adjusted to properly load secmodels
early during system startup.

- Adapt rump to changes: Instead of using empty stubs for securelevel,
simply use the suser secmodel. Also replace secmodel_start() with a
call to secmodel_suser_start().

- 5.99.20.

Testing was done on i386 ("release" build). Spearated module_init()
changes were tested on sparc and sparc64 as well by martin@ (thanks!).

Make securelevel a "secmodel" of its own.

While it's true that it's part of the traditional 4.4BSD security model,
there may come a time where a different "primary" security model used for
fine-grained privileges (ie., splitting root's responsibilities to various
privileges that can be assigned) may want to still have a securelevel
setting.

Add a source-address selection policy mechanism to the kernel.

Also, add ioctls SIOCGIFADDRPREF/SIOCSIFADDRPREF to get/set preference

To activate source-address selection policies in your kernel, add
'options IPSELSRC' to your kernel configuration.

Miscellaneous changes in support of source-address selection:

1 Factor out some common code, producing rt_replace_ifa().

2 Abbreviate a for-loop with TAILQ_FOREACH().

3 Add the predicates on IPv4 addresses IN_LINKLOCAL() and
IN_PRIVATE(), that are true for link-local unicast
(169.254/16) and RFC1918 private addresses, respectively.
Add the predicate IN_ANY_LOCAL() that is true for link-local
unicast and multicast.

4 Add IPv4-specific interface attach/detach routines,
in_domifattach and in_domifdetach, which build #ifdef

Make links from ieee80211(9) to pages for all included functions.

add workqueue_destroy.

Add a man-page for secmodel_overlay(9).

Add a man-page for secmodel_bsd44, describing a bit the concepts of
super-user and securelevel.

The securelevel part was compiled of text from both init(8) and OpenBSD's
securelevel(7), and brought in-sync with what we really do.

First take at security model abstraction.

- Add a few scopes to the kernel: system, network, and machdep.

- Add a few more actions/sub-actions (requests), and start using them as
opposed to the KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER place-holders.

- Introduce a basic set of listeners that implement our "traditional"
security model, called "bsd44". This is the default (and only) model we
have at the moment.

- Update all relevant documentation.

- Add some code and docs to help folks who want to actually use this stuff:

* There's a sample overlay model, sitting on-top of "bsd44", for
fast experimenting with tweaking just a subset of an existing model.

This is pretty cool because it's *really* straightforward to do stuff
you had to use ugly hacks for until now...

* And of course, documentation describing how to do the above for quick
reference, including code samples.

All of these changes were tested for regressions using a Python-based
testsuite that will be (I hope) available soon via pkgsrc. Information
about the tests, and how to write new ones, can be found on:

http://kauth.linbsd.org/kauthwiki

NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: *PLEASE* don't add any code that does any of the
following:

- Uses a KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER kauth(9) request,
- Checks 'securelevel' directly,
- Checks a uid/gid directly.

(or if you feel you have to, contact me first)

This is still work in progress; It's far from being done, but now it'll
be a lot easier.

Fix todr(9) MLINKS line.

time.9 renamed to time_second.9. various updates to reflect API changes.

man pages contributed by Igor Sobrado.

first take at veriexec(9) man page, finally documenting some more
internals.

okay, since there was no way to divide this to two commits, here it goes..

introduce fileassoc(9), a kernel interface for associating meta-data with
files using in-kernel memory. this is very similar to what we had in
veriexec till now, only abstracted so it can be used more easily by more
consumers.

this also prompted the redesign of the interface, making it work on vnodes
and mounts and not directly on devices and inodes. internally, we still
use file-id but that's gonna change soon... the interface will remain
consistent.

as a result, veriexec went under some heavy changes to conform to the new
interface. since we no longer use device numbers to identify file-systems,
the veriexec sysctl stuff changed too: kern.veriexec.count.dev_N is now
kern.veriexec.tableN.* where 'N' is NOT the device number but rather a
way to distinguish several mounts.

also worth noting is the plugging of unmount/delete operations
wrt/fileassoc and veriexec.

Kill the tmpfs(9) manual page; it was just documenting internal details of

Instead, merge all the relevant comments into the code. This includes
acknowledgements to Google's Summer of Code 2005 program (they were in the
AUTHORS section of tmpfs(9) before), so all the files need to be changed
to include this sentence alongside the title. (Note that this was not a
requirement of the program.)

Apply the NFS exports list rototill patch:

- Remove all NFS related stuff from file system specific code.
- Drop the vfs_checkexp hook and generalize it in the new nfs_check_export
function, thus removing redundancy from all file systems.
- Move all NFS export-related stuff from kern/vfs_subr.c to the new
file sys/nfs/nfs_export.c. The former was becoming large and its code
is always compiled, regardless of the build options. Using the latter,
the code is only compiled in when NFSSERVER is enabled. While doing this,
also make some functions in nfs_subs.c conditional to NFSSERVER.
- Add a new command in nfssvc(2), called NFSSVC_SETEXPORTSLIST, that takes a
path and a set of export entries. At the moment it can only clear the
exports list or append entries, one by one, but it is done in a way that
allows setting the whole set of entries atomically in the future (see the
comment in mountd_set_exports_list or in doc/TODO).
- Change mountd(8) to use the nfssvc(2) system call instead of mount(2) so
that it becomes file system agnostic. In fact, all this whole thing was
done to remove a 'XXX' block from this utility!
- Change the mount*, newfs and fsck* userland utilities to not deal with NFS
exports initialization; done internally by the kernel when initializing
the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel
subsystems can run arbitrary code upon receipt of specific VFS events.
At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.

Thanks go to yamt@, chs@, thorpej@, wrstuden@ and others for their comments
and advice in the development of this patch.

Initial addition of tmpfs, an efficient memory file-system. This project
was developed as part of Google's Summer of Code 2005 program. This
change adds the kernel code, the mount_tmpfs utility, a regression test
suite and does all other related changes to integrate these.

The file-system is still *experimental*. Therefore, it is disabled by
default in all kernels. However, as typically done, a commented-out
entry is added in them to ease its setup.

Note that I haven't commited the required mountd(8) changes to be able
to export tmpfs file-systems because NFS support is still very unstable
and because, before enabling it, I'd like to do some other changes.

OK'ed by my project mentor, William Studenmund (wrstuden@).

Create functions ioctl_copyin() and ioctl_copyout(). They are meant to be
used in ioctl routines to do the right thing when the FKIOCTL flag is
passed to the IOCTL routine indicating its a in-kernel VOP_IOCTL call and
indirect addresses provided in the arguments are to be seen as kernel
adresses rather than userland adresses.

A simple substitution and prepending of the `flags' passed on to the ioctl
handler is enough to DTRT.
