kernel: Use KernelReferenceable for the supplementary_groups array.

Instead of the malloc_referenced system. Makes for some cleaner code,
and the malloc_referenced system was only used here, so it can now be
dropped altogether.


# 057fe191 01-Sep-2021 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com>

kernel: Break thread-related AutoLockers into a separate header.

Including thread.h brings a massive array of things with it from
the kernel thread arch headers, team and thread definitions,
hash tables, linked lists, Referenceable, etc. that the vast majority
of AutoLock.h consumers neither want nor need.

So, put these in a separate header, and adjust all consumers of these
lockers to include the new file.

This change exposes the fact that a lot of files were inadvertently
making use of headers included indirectly through thread.h. Those
will be fixed in the next commit.

malloc_referenced adds +1 to int32 pointer so use its release

kernel: Do not use gSchedulerLock when accesing UID and GID

Reads and writes to uid_t and gid_t are atomic anyway. The only real
problem that may happen here is inconsistent state of triples
effective_{u, g}id, saved_set_{u, g}id, real_{u, g}id, but team locks
protect us against that.


# 021ccbd1 22-May-2012 Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>

Fix #8596: common_getgroups copies too little data

common_getgroups, when called from within the kernel, copies actualCount
bytes instead of actualCount * sizeof(gid_t) bytes.


# 24df6592 11-Jun-2011 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Merged signals-merge branch into trunk with the following changes:
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes #5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes #1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes #6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes #5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes #5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes #7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

# 4535495d 10-Jan-2011 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Merged the signals branch into trunk, with these changes:
* The team and thread kernel structures have been renamed to Team and Thread
respectively and moved into the new BKernel namespace.
* Several (kernel add-on) sources have been converted from C to C++ since
private kernel headers are included that are no longer C compatible.

Changes after merging:
* Fixed gcc 2 build (warnings mainly in the scary firewire bus manager).

# 5ecc4b37 01-Mar-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Introduced ref-counting for the I/O contexts.
* The I/O context related vfs_*() functions have io_context* instead of void*
parameters/return values, now.
* vfs_new_io_context(): Lock the parent I/O context before getting its table
size. Otherwise the table size could change until we do.
* vfs_resize_fd_table(): Fixed use of MutexLocker. We created only a temporary
object, not one with function scope.
* Renamed load_image_etc() to load_image_internal() and added a parameter for
specifying the parent team of the one to create.
* Introduced a kernel private load_image_etc() with a few more arguments than
load_image().

# 15374c5d 02-Aug-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Renamed thread_spinlock and team_spinlock to gThreadSpinlock and
gTeamSpinlock.
* Renamed the static global variables in smp.c to match our style guide.
* Minor other cleanup.
* Removed superfluous white space.

# 5b53519c 15-Apr-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Some setre{g,u}id() tweaking. What happens to the saved set-{g,u}id is
not specified by the standard, but other systems set it as well in most
cases. We set it to real {g,u}uid now, if that changes. OpenSSH (sshd)
seems to be agreeable with that solution.

# 9fe0705b 30-Mar-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

My previous change to getgroups() broke the getgroups(0) special case,
which e.g. "awk" didn't like.

# 290946ce 29-Mar-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Implemented some basics for supplementary groups support:
- The kernel stores the group IDs in the team structure. They are
correctly inherited on fork() and load_image_etc().
- Implemented getgroups() for real, i.e. it retrieves the groups
associated with the process.
- Implemented setgroups(), initgroups() and (the BSDish)
getgrouplist(). The latter two read the group information from the
"group database" /etc/group (if existing).
- Change the BIND port config, since we do have getgrouplist() now.
* The set-uid feature was broken when the path to the executable was
relative, since we used stat(), which, in the kernel, uses the kernel
IO context.

# 4eb35609 11-Mar-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added real, effective and saved set- user and group IDs to the team
structure. They are properly inherited and updated on
fork(), load_image(), and exec().
* Implemented the get[e]{u,g}id(), set[[r]e]{u,g}id() family for real.
* getgroups() also calls the kernel now, but only returns the effective
group ID. Supplementary groups support is still missing.
