MFC r229699, r229744, r229778, r229944, r229945, r229946, r230092, r230395,
r230396, r230436, r230457, r230515, r230976:

r229744 (pjd):

fork(2) returns -1 on failure, not some random negative number.

r229699 (pjd):

Constify argument.

r229778 (uqs):

Spelling fixes for sbin/

r229944 (pjd):

Don't touch pidfiles when running in foreground. Before that change we
would create an empty pidfile on start and check if it changed on SIGHUP.

r229945 (pjd):

For functions that return -1 on failure check exactly for -1 and not for
any negative number.

r229946 (pjd):

- Fix a bug where pidfile was removed in SIGHUP when it hasn't changed in
configuration file.
- Log the fact that pidfile has changed.

r230092 (pjd):

Style cleanups.

r230395 (pjd):

Remove unused token 'port'.

r230396 (pjd):

Remove another unused token.

r230436 (pjd):

Fix minor memory leak.

r230457 (pjd):

Free memory that won't be used in child.

r230515 (pjd):

- Fix documentation to note that /etc/hast.conf is the default configuration
file for hastd(8) and hastctl(8) and not hast.conf.
- In copyright statement correct that this file is documentation, not software.
- Bump date.

r230976 (pjd):

Fix typo in comment.

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

# 221899 14-May-2011 pjd

Currently we are unable to use capsicum for the primary worker process,
because we need to do ioctl(2)s, which are not permitted in the capability
mode. What we do now is to chroot(2) to /var/empty, which restricts access
to file system name space and we drop privileges to hast user and hast
group.

This still allows to access to other name spaces, like list of processes,
network and sysvipc.

To address that, use jail(2) instead of chroot(2). Using jail(2) will restrict
access to process table, network (we use ip-less jails) and sysvipc (if
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed is turned off). This provides much better
separation.

# 219887 22-Mar-2011 pjd

Add my copyright.

# 219847 21-Mar-2011 pjd

When dropping privileges prefer capsicum over chroot+setgid+setuid.
We can use capsicum for secondary worker processes and hastctl.
When working as primary we drop privileges using chroot+setgid+setuid
still as we need to send ioctl(2)s to ggate device, for which capsicum
doesn't allow (yet).

X-MFC after: capsicum is merged to stable/8


# 219815 21-Mar-2011 pjd

Add snprlcat() and vsnprlcat() - the functions I'm always missing.
They work as a combination of snprintf(3) and strlcat(3) - the caller
can append a string build based on the given format.

MFC after: 1 week


# 218048 28-Jan-2011 pjd

Implement function that drops privileges by:
- chrooting to /var/empty (user hast home directory),
- setting groups to 'hast' (user hast primary group),
- setting real group id, effective group id and saved group id to 'hast',
- setting real user id, effective user id and saved user id to 'hast'.
At the end verify that those operations where successfull.

Please welcome HAST - Highly Avalable Storage.

HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.

HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.

For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.
