Change the cap_rights_t type from uint64_t to a structure that we can extend
in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.

The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.

The structure definition looks like this:

struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};

The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.

The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.

The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.

To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.

#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)

We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:

#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)

#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)

There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:

cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);

Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:

cap_rights_t rights;

cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);

There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:

#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:

cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);

Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.

This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

- Implement two new system calls:

int bindat(int fd, int s, const struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t addrlen);
int connectat(int fd, int s, const struct sockaddr *name, socklen_t namelen);

which allow to bind and connect respectively to a UNIX domain socket with a
path relative to the directory associated with the given file descriptor 'fd'.

- Add manual pages for the new syscalls.

- Make the new syscalls available for processes in capability mode sandbox.

- Add capability rights CAP_BINDAT and CAP_CONNECTAT that has to be present on
the directory descriptor for the syscalls to work.

- Update audit(4) to support those two new syscalls and to handle path
in sockaddr_un structure relative to the given directory descriptor.

- Update procstat(1) to recognize the new capability rights.

- Document the new capability rights in cap_rights_limit(2).

Merge Capsicum overhaul:

- Capability is no longer separate descriptor type. Now every descriptor
has set of its own capability rights.

- The cap_new(2) system call is left, but it is no longer documented and
should not be used in new code.

- The new syscall cap_rights_limit(2) should be used instead of
cap_new(2), which limits capability rights of the given descriptor
without creating a new one.

- The cap_getrights(2) syscall is renamed to cap_rights_get(2).

- If CAP_IOCTL capability right is present we can further reduce allowed
ioctls list with the new cap_ioctls_limit(2) syscall. List of allowed
ioctls can be retrived with cap_ioctls_get(2) syscall.

- If CAP_FCNTL capability right is present we can further reduce fcntls
that can be used with the new cap_fcntls_limit(2) syscall and retrive
them with cap_fcntls_get(2).

- To support ioctl and fcntl white-listing the filedesc structure was
heavly modified.

- The audit subsystem, kdump and procstat tools were updated to
recognize new syscalls.

Add the wait6(2) system call. It takes POSIX waitid()-like process
designator to select a process which is waited for. The system call
optionally returns siginfo_t which would be otherwise provided to
SIGCHLD handler, as well as extended structure accounting for child

as well, similar to Solaris.

The explicit WEXITED flag is required to wait for exited processes,

There is an optimization in chmod(1), that makes it not to call chmod(2)
if the new file mode is the same as it was before; however, this
optimization must be disabled for filesystems that support NFSv4 ACLs.
Chmod uses pathconf(2) to determine whether this is the case - however,
pathconf(2) always follows symbolic links, while the 'chmod -h' doesn't.

This change adds lpathconf(3) to make it possible to solve that problem
in a clean way.

OpenBSM 1.1 beta 1

- The filesz parameter in audit_control(5) now accepts suffixes: 'B' for
Bytes, 'K' for Kilobytes, 'M' for Megabytes, and 'G' for Gigabytes.
For legacy support no suffix defaults to bytes.
- Audit trail log expiration support added. It is configured in
audit_control(5) with the expire-after parameter. If there is no
expire-after parameter in audit_control(5), the default, then the audit
trail files are not expired and removed. See audit_control(5) for
more information.
- Change defaults in audit_control: warn at 5% rather than 20% free for audit
partitions, rotate automatically at 2mb, and set the default policy to
cnt,argv rather than cnt so that execve(2) arguments are captured if
AUE_EXECVE events are audited. These may provide more usable defaults for

of constants in audit_domain.h and audit_socket_type.h. This improves
interoperability by converting local constant spaces, which vary by OS, to

protocol domains not present in Solaris (a fair number). These routines
should be used when generating and interpreting extended socket tokens.
- Fix build warnings with full gcc warnings enabled on most supported

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 4

- Add an event for Calife.
- Add au_strerror(3), which allows generating strings for BSM errors
directly, rather than requiring applications to map to the local error
space, which might not be able to entirely represent the BSM error
number space.
- Major auditd rewrite for launchd(8) support. Add libauditd library

- Add 'current' symlink to active audit trail.
- Add crash recovery of previous audit trail file when detected on audit
startup that it has not been properly terminated.
- Add the event AUE_audit_recovery to indicated when an audit trail file
has been recovered from not being properly terminated. This event is
stored in the new audit trail file and includes the path of recovered
audit trail file.
- Mac OS X and FreeBSD dependent code in auditd.c is separated into
auditd_darwin.c and auditd_fbsd.c files.

OpenBSM 1.1 alpha 2

required solely for user space, and system includes, which may also be
required for use in the kernels of systems integrating OpenBSM. Submitted
by Stacey Son.
- Configure option --with-native-includes allows forcing the use of native
include for system includes, rather than the versions bundled with OpenBSM.
This is intended specifically for platforms that ship OpenBSM, have adapted
versions of the system includes in a kernel source tree, and will use the
OpenBSM build infrastructure with an unmodified OpenBSM distribution,
allowing the customized system includes to be used with the OpenBSM build.

- Various strcpy()'s/strcat()'s have been changed to strlcpy()'s/strlcat()'s
or asprintf(). Added compat/strlcpy.h for Linux.
- Remove compatibility defines for old Darwin token constant names; now only
BSM token names are provided and used.
- Add support for extended header tokens, which contain space for information
on the host generating the record.
- Add support for setting extended host information in the kernel, which is
used for setting host information in extended header tokens. The
audit_control file now supports a "host" parameter which can be used by
auditd to set the information; if not present, the kernel parameters won't
be set and auditd uses unextended headers for records that it generates.

- For Mac OS X, added Mach IPC support for audit trigger messages.
- Fixed a bug in getacna() which resulted in a locking problem on Mac OS X.
- Added LOG_PERROR flag to openlog when -d option is used with auditd.
- AUE events added for Mac OS X Leopard system calls.


184856 11-Nov-2008 csjp

Add support for extended header BSM tokens. Currently we use the
regular header tokens. The extended header tokens contain an IP
or IPv6 address which makes it possible to identify which host an
audit record came from when audit records are centralized.

If the host information has not been specified, the system will
default to the old style headers. Otherwise, audit records that
are created as a result of system calls will contain host information.

This implemented has been designed to be consistent with the Solaris
implementation. Host information is set/retrieved using the A_GETKAUDIT
and A_SETKAUDIT auditon(2) commands. These commands require that a
pointer to a auditinfo_addr_t object is passed. Currently only IP and
IPv6 address families are supported.

The users pace bits associated with this change will follow in an
openbsm import.

When MPSAFE ttys were merged, a new BSM audit event identifier was
allocated for posix_openpt(2). Unfortunately, that identifier
conflicts with other events already allocated to other systems in
OpenBSM. Assign a new globally unique identifier and conform
better to the AUE_ event naming scheme.

This is a stopgap until a new OpenBSM import is done with the
correct identifier, so we'll maintain this as a local diff in svn
until then.

Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.

If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

Change $P4$ ID strings to P4 ID strings so that they are not auto-expanded
when integrated back into Perforce. This avoids unnecessary conflicts
during the loopback of files maintained in Perforce.

Update src/sys/bsm include files to match OpenBSM (albeit with a
couple of FreeBSD-specific modifications that may be merged out
later). These include files define the basic audit data
structures, types, and definitions use by the kernel, or shared
by the kernel and user space.

For consistency with more system include files, add a trailing '_' to
the define guards in audit_kevents.h.


146759 29-May-2005 rwatson

Add place-holder audit.h that defines only au_event_t, which is needed
in order to modify the system call table to include event identifiers.
The full audit.h will be merged at a later date.

Obtained from: TrustedBSD Project


141144 02-Feb-2005 rwatson

Add a stub audit_kevents.h, which defines exactly one audit event:
AUE_NULL. This is a place-holder to allow other audit infrastructure
to be introduced, such as an updated syscalls.master file format,
while the license on the real audit_kevents.h is fixed.
