dholland | Add containment for the cloning devices hack in vn_open.
Cloning devices (and also things like /dev/stderr) work by allocating a struct file, stuffing it in the file table (which is a layer violation), stuffing the file descriptor number for it in a magic field of struct lwp (which is gross), and then "failing" with one of two magic errnos, EDUPFD or EMOVEFD.
Before this commit, all callers of vn_open in the kernel (there are quite a few) were expected to check for these errors and handle the situation. Needless to say, none of them except for open() itself did, resulting in internal negative errnos being returned to userspace.
This hack is fairly deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated all at once. This commit adds logic to handle the magic errnos inside vn_open; now on success vn_open returns either a vnode or an integer file descriptor, along with a flag that says whether the underlying code requested EDUPFD or EMOVEFD. Callers not prepared to cope with file descriptors can pass NULL for the extra return values, in which case if a file descriptor would be produced vn_open fails with EOPNOTSUPP.
Since I'm rearranging vn_open's signature anyway, stop exposing struct nameidata. Instead, take three arguments: an optional vnode to use as the starting point (like openat()), the path, and additional namei flags to use, restricted to NOCHROOT and TRYEMULROOT. (Other namei behavior, e.g. NOFOLLOW, can be requested via the open flags.)
This change requires a kernel bump. Ride the one an hour ago. (That was supposed to be coordinated; did not intend to let an hour slip by. My fault.)

chs | branches: 1.11.26; remove checks for failure after memory allocation calls that cannot fail:
kmem_alloc() with KM_SLEEP kmem_zalloc() with KM_SLEEP percpu_alloc() pserialize_create() psref_class_create()
all of these paths include an assertion that the allocation has not failed, so callers should not assert that again.

maxv | Split the data+bss+rodata segment in two data+bss and rodata segments. The latter is made read-only.

maxv | branches: 1.9.2; When loading a module from VFS and from the bootloader, the kernel packs up the module segments into one big RWX chunk. Split this chunk into two different text and data+bss+rodata chunks. The latter is made non- executable. This also provides some kind of ASLR, since the chunks are not necessarily contiguous.

mbalmer | Do not not look for modules in the current working directory first. This is to prevent from accidentally loading ./module.kmod when we actually wanted to load module from the system module area.
To load a module from a filesystem path, the module name must contain at least on path separator character (/), to load a module from the system module areas, the name must not contain a path separator character:
modload ./mymod.kmod # loads mymod.kmod from the curren directory modload mymod # loads mymod.kmod from the system module area

dholland | Introduce struct pathbuf. This is an abstraction to hold a pathname and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is complete.
Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and update namei(9).
The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.

VOP_UNLOCK(vp, flags) -> VOP_UNLOCK(vp): Remove the unneeded flags argument.

pooka | Due to the schizophrenic nature of kobj (mem + vfs source), split the module in twain to subj_kobj.c (master + mem) and subr_kobj_vfs.c (vfs).
