# 93e48a30 02-Mar-2018 Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org>

Rename kernel-only members of semid_ds and msgid_ds.

This deliberately breaks the API in preperation for future syscall
revisions which will remove these nonstandard members.

In an exp-run a single port (devel/qemu-user-static) was found to
use them which it did becuase it emulates system calls. This has
been fixed in the ports tree.

Revert r327005 - SPDX tags for license similar to BSD-2-Clause.

After consultation with SPDX experts and their matching guidelines[1],
the licensing doesn't exactly match the BSD-2-Clause. It yet remains to be
determined if they are equivalent or if there is a recognized license that
matches but it is safer to just revert the tags.

Let this also be a reminder that on FreeBSD, SPDX tags are only advisory
and have no legal value (but IANAL).

SPDX: These are fundamentally BSD-2-Clause.

They just omit the introductory line and numbering.

SPDX: Fix some cases wrongly attributed to MIT.

In the cases of BSD-style license variants without clauses, use 0BSD for

# c4e20cad 27-Nov-2017 Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org>

sys/sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.


# d9c4cd2f 27-Jul-2016 Ed Schouten <ed@FreeBSD.org>

Change the return type of msgrcv() to ssize_t as required by POSIX.

It looks like the msgrcv() system call is already written in such a way
that the size is internally computed as a size_t and written into all of
td_retval[0]. This means that it is effectively already returning
ssize_t. It's just that the userspace prototype doesn't match up.

# b648d480 24-Jun-2009 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Change the ABI of some of the structures used by the SYSV IPC API:
- The uid/cuid members of struct ipc_perm are now uid_t instead of unsigned
short.
- The gid/cgid members of struct ipc_perm are now gid_t instead of unsigned
short.
- The mode member of struct ipc_perm is now mode_t instead of unsigned short
(this is merely a style bug).
- The rather dubious padding fields for ABI compat with SV/I386 have been
removed from struct msqid_ds and struct semid_ds.
- The shm_segsz member of struct shmid_ds is now a size_t instead of an
int. This removes the need for the shm_bsegsz member in struct
shmid_kernel and should allow for complete support of SYSV SHM regions
>= 2GB.
- The shm_nattch member of struct shmid_ds is now an int instead of a
short.
- The shm_internal member of struct shmid_ds is now gone. The internal
VM object pointer for SHM regions has been moved into struct
shmid_kernel.
- The existing __semctl(), msgctl(), and shmctl() system call entries are
now marked COMPAT7 and new versions of those system calls which support
the new ABI are now present.
- The new system calls are assigned to the FBSD-1.1 version in libc. The
FBSD-1.0 symbols in libc now refer to the old COMPAT7 system calls.
- A simplistic framework for tagging system calls with compatibility
symbol versions has been added to libc. Version tags are added to
system calls by adding an appropriate __sym_compat() entry to
src/lib/libc/incldue/compat.h. [1]

In the kernel-only portionss of System V IPC objects (messages,
message queues, shared memory segments, and semaphores), add a struct
label pointer, which will hold the MAC labels for the objects. As a
result of recent work to separate kernel and user space ABIs, this
should not break the ABI for applications using System V IPC, but will
require a rebuild of the ipcs monitoring tool.

Second of several commits to allow kernel System V IPC data structures
to be modified and extended without breaking the user space ABI:

Use _kernel variants on _ds structures for System V sempahores, message
queues, and shared memory. When interfacing with userspace, export
only the _ds subsets of the _kernel data structures. A lot of search
and replace.

Define the message structure in the _KERNEL portion of msg.h so that it
can be used by other kernel consumers, but not exposed to user space.

# ab063af9 01-May-2000 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Move the MSG* and SEM* options to opt_sysvipc.h
Remove evil allocation macros from machdep.c (why was that there???) and
use malloc() instead.
Move paramters out of param.h and into the code itself.
Move a bunch of internal definitions from public sys/*.h headers (without
#ifdef _KERNEL even) into the code itself.

I had hoped to make some of this more dynamic, but the cost of doing
wakeups on all sleeping processes on old arrays was too frightening.
The other possibility is to initialize on the first use, and allow
dynamic sysctl changes to parameters right until that point. That would
allow /etc/rc.sysctl to change SEM* and MSG* defaults as we presently
do with SHM*, but without the nightmare of changing a running system.


# 664a31e4 28-Dec-1999 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
