Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
and cannot handle it going away, add an explicit reference to the kobj
class inside each linker class. Without this, a class with no modules
loaded will sit with an idle refcount of 0. Loading and unloading
a module with it causes a 0->1->0 transition which frees the ops table
and causes subsequent loads using that class to explode. Normally, the
"kernel" module will remain forever loaded and prevent this happening, but
if you have more than one linker class active, only one owns the "kernel".
This finishes making modules work for kldload(8) on amd64.

kern_mlock(), which does the resource limit checking and calls
vm_map_wire(). Split munlock() in a similar way.
Enable the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK checking code in kern_mlock().
Replace calls to vslock() and vsunlock() in the sysctl code with
calls to kern_mlock() and kern_munlock() so that the sysctl code
will obey the wired memory limits.
Nuke the vslock() and vsunlock() implementations, which are no
longer used.
Add a member to struct sysctl_req to track the amount of memory
that is wired to handle the request.
Modify sysctl_wire_old_buffer() to return an error if its call to
kern_mlock() fails. Only wire the minimum of the length specified
in the sysctl request and the length specified in its argument list.
It is recommended that sysctl handlers that use sysctl_wire_old_buffer()
should specify reasonable estimates for the amount of data they
want to return so that only the minimum amount of memory is wired
no matter what length has been specified by the request.
Modify the callers of sysctl_wire_old_buffer() to look for the
error return.
Modify sysctl_old_user to obey the wired buffer length and clean up
its implementation.

sparc64, where the relocations for the metadata are different than on other

instead of the original value of the location being patched.
Also fix printf formats in debug code.

based on credential (and other) properties, as well as to perform checks

make a series of modifications to the credential arguments relating
to file read and write operations to cliarfy which credential is
used for what:
- Change fo_read() and fo_write() to accept "active_cred" instead of
"cred", and change the semantics of consumers of fo_read() and
fo_write() to pass the active credential of the thread requesting
an operation rather than the cached file cred. The cached file
cred is still available in fo_read() and fo_write() consumers
via fp->f_cred. These changes largely in sys_generic.c.
For each implementation of fo_read() and fo_write(), update cred
usage to reflect this change and maintain current semantics:
- badfo_readwrite() unchanged
- kqueue_read/write() unchanged
pipe_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred rather
than td->td_ucred
- soo_read/write() unchanged
- vn_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred but
VOP_READ/WRITE() with fp->f_cred
Modify vn_rdwr() to accept two credential arguments instead of a
single credential: active_cred and file_cred. Use active_cred
for MAC authorization, and select a credential for use in
VOP_READ/WRITE() based on whether file_cred is NULL or not. If
file_cred is provided, authorize the VOP using that cred,
otherwise the active credential, matching current semantics.
Modify current vn_rdwr() consumers to pass a file_cred if used
in the context of a struct file, and to always pass active_cred.
When vn_rdwr() is used without a file_cred, pass NOCRED.
These changes should maintain current semantics for read/write,
but avoid a redundant passing of fp->f_cred, as well as making
it more clear what the origin of each credential is in file
descriptor read/write operations.
Follow-up commits will make similar changes to other file descriptor
operations, and modify the MAC framework to pass both credentials
to MAC policy modules so they can implement either semantic for
revocation.

linker_load_module() instead.
This fixes a bug where the kernel was unable to properly locate and
load a kernel module in vfs_mount() (and probably in the netgraph
code as well since it was using the same function). This is because
the linker_load_file() does not properly search the module path.

- Added a mutex, kld_mtx, to protect the kernel_linker system. Note that
while ``classes'' is global (to that file), it is only read only after
SI_SUB_KLD, SI_ORDER_ANY.
- Add a SYSINIT to flip a flag that disallows class registration after

Without this, modules loaded from loader.conf that then try to load

badly in the vn_open() called from linker_search_module().
It may be worth checking (KASSERTing?) that rootdev != NODEV in

In linker_reference_module(), check to see if we've already got

and return that, otherwise continue the module search as normal.
general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

function symbols in the kernel in a list of C strings, with an extra
nul-termination at the end.
This sysctl requires addition of a new linker operation. Now,
linker_file_t's need to respond to "each_function_name" to export
their function symbols.
Note that the sysctl doesn't currently allow distinguishing multiple
symbols with the same name from different modules, but could quite
easily without a change to the linker operation. This will be a nicety
to have when it can be used.
