sys: Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line .c pattern

# 54366c0b 25-Nov-2013 Attilio Rao <attilio@FreeBSD.org>

- For kernel compiled only with KDTRACE_HOOKS and not any lock debugging
option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].

[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

# a7d5f7eb 19-Oct-2010 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org>

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fa765671 01-May-2009 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Rename MAC Framework-internal macros used to invoke policy entry points:

MAC_BOOLEAN -> MAC_POLICY_BOOLEAN
MAC_BOOLEAN_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_BOOLEANN_NOSLEEP
MAC_CHECK -> MAC_POLICY_CHECK
MAC_CHECK_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_CHECK_NOSLEEP
MAC_EXTERNALIZE -> MAC_POLICY_EXTERNALIZE
MAC_GRANT -> MAC_POLICY_GRANT
MAC_GRANT_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_GRANT_NOSLEEP
MAC_INTERNALIZE -> MAC_POLICY_INTERNALIZE
MAC_PERFORM -> MAC_POLICY_PERFORM_CHECK
MAC_PERFORM_NOSLEEP -> MAC_POLICY_PERFORM_NOSLEEP

This frees up those macro names for use in wrapping calls into the MAC
Framework from the remainder of the kernel.

# 40202729 14-Mar-2009 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Rework MAC Framework synchronization in a number of ways in order to
improve performance:

- Eliminate custom reference count and condition variable to monitor
threads entering the framework, as this had both significant overhead
and behaved badly in the face of contention.

- Replace reference count with two locks: an rwlock and an sx lock,
which will be read-acquired by threads entering the framework
depending on whether a give policy entry point is permitted to sleep
or not.

- Replace previous mutex locking of the reference count for exclusive
access with write acquiring of both the policy list sx and rw locks,
which occurs only when policies are attached or detached.

- Do a lockless read of the dynamic policy list head before acquiring
any locks in order to reduce overhead when no dynamic policies are
loaded; this a race we can afford to lose.

- For every policy entry point invocation, decide whether sleeping is
permitted, and if not, use a _NOSLEEP() variant of the composition
macros, which will use the rwlock instead of the sxlock. In some
cases, we decide which to use based on allocation flags passed to the
MAC Framework entry point.

As with the move to rwlocks/rmlocks in pfil, this may trigger witness
warnings, but these should (generally) be false positives as all
acquisition of the locks is for read with two very narrow exceptions
for policy load/unload, and those code blocks should never acquire
other locks.

# 2087a58c 07-Mar-2009 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Add static DTrace probes for MAC Framework access control checks and
privilege grants so that dtrace can be more easily used to monitor
the security decisions being generated by the MAC Framework following
policy invocation.

Successful access control checks will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:<entrypoint>:mac_check_ok

Failed access control checks will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:<entrypoint>:mac_check_err

Successful privilege grants will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:priv_grant:mac_grant_ok

Failed privilege grants will be reported by:

mac_framework:kernel:priv_grant:mac_grant_err

In all cases, the return value (always 0 for _ok, otherwise an errno
for _err) will be reported via arg0 on the probe, and subsequent
arguments will hold entrypoint-specific data, in a style similar to
privilege tracing.

- Import the HEAD csup code which is the basis for the cvsmode work.


# 6356dba0 23-Aug-2008 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Introduce two related changes to the TrustedBSD MAC Framework:

(1) Abstract interpreter vnode labeling in execve(2) and mac_execve(2)
so that the general exec code isn't aware of the details of
allocating, copying, and freeing labels, rather, simply passes in
a void pointer to start and stop functions that will be used by
the framework. This change will be MFC'd.

(2) Introduce a new flags field to the MAC_POLICY_SET(9) interface
allowing policies to declare which types of objects require label
allocation, initialization, and destruction, and define a set of
flags covering various supported object types (MPC_OBJECT_PROC,
MPC_OBJECT_VNODE, MPC_OBJECT_INPCB, ...). This change reduces the
overhead of compiling the MAC Framework into the kernel if policies
aren't loaded, or if policies require labels on only a small number
or even no object types. Each time a policy is loaded or unloaded,
we recalculate a mask of labeled object types across all policies
present in the system. Eliminate MAC_ALWAYS_LABEL_MBUF option as it
is no longer required.

# 30d239bc 24-Oct-2007 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Merge first in a series of TrustedBSD MAC Framework KPI changes
from Mac OS X Leopard--rationalize naming for entry points to
the following general forms:

mac_<object>_<method/action>
mac_<object>_check_<method/action>

The previous naming scheme was inconsistent and mostly
reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,
some entry point names.

All MAC policy modules will need to be recompiled, and modules
not updates as part of this commit will need to be modified to
conform to the new KPI.

# c96ae196 06-Feb-2007 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Continue 7-CURRENT MAC Framework rearrangement and cleanup:

Don't perform a nested include of _label.h in mac.h, as mac.h now
describes only the user API to MAC, and _label.h defines the in-kernel
representation of MAC labels.

Remove mac.h includes from policies and MAC framework components that do
not use userspace MAC API definitions.

Add _KERNEL inclusion checks to mac_internal.h and mac_policy.h, as these
are kernel-only include files

# 0efd6615 22-Dec-2006 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Move src/sys/sys/mac_policy.h, the kernel interface between the MAC
Framework and security modules, to src/sys/security/mac/mac_policy.h,
completing the removal of kernel-only MAC Framework include files from
src/sys/sys. Update the MAC Framework and MAC policy modules. Delete
the old mac_policy.h.

Third party policy modules will need similar updating.

# e009ba46 21-Dec-2006 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Minor style fixes.


# e66fe0e1 21-Dec-2006 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Remove mac_enforce_subsystem debugging sysctls. Enforcement on
subsystems will be a property of policy modules, which may require
access control check entry points to be invoked even when not actively
enforcing (i.e., to track information flow without providing
protection).

# aed55708 22-Oct-2006 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

Complete break-out of sys/sys/mac.h into sys/security/mac/mac_framework.h
begun with a repo-copy of mac.h to mac_framework.h. sys/mac.h now
contains the userspace and user<->kernel API and definitions, with all
in-kernel interfaces moved to mac_framework.h, which is now included
across most of the kernel instead.

This change is the first step in a larger cleanup and sweep of MAC
Framework interfaces in the kernel, and will not be MFC'd.
