v_cachedid, which hold the vnode's device and file id and are filled in
by vn_open_cred() and vn_stat().

Invoke the necessary MAC entry points to maintain labels on sockets.
In particular, invoke entry points during socket allocation and
destruction, as well as creation by a process or during an
accept-scenario (sonewconn). For UNIX domain sockets, also assign
a peer label. As the socket code isn't locked down yet, locking
interactions are not yet clear. Various protocol stack socket
operations (such as peer label assignment for IPv4) will follow.

Invoke the necessary MAC entry points to maintain labels on vnodes.
In particular, initialize the label when the vnode is allocated or
reused, and destroy the label when the vnode is going to be released,
or reused. Wow, an object where there really is exactly one place
where it's allocated, and one other where it's freed. Amazing.

Invoke additional MAC entry points when an mbuf packet header is
copied to another mbuf: release the old label if any, reinitialize
the new header, and ask the MAC framework to copy the header label
data. Note that this requires a potential allocation operation,
but m_copy_pkthdr() is not permitted to fail, so we must block.
Since we now use interrupt threads, this is possible, but not
desirable.

Invoke the necessary MAC entry points to maintain labels on header
mbufs. In particular, invoke entry points during the two mbuf
header allocation cases, and the mbuf freeing case. Pass the "how"
argument at allocation time to the MAC framework so that it can
determine if it is permitted to block (as with policy modules),
and permit the initialization entry point to fail if it needs to
allocate memory but is not permitted to, failing the mbuf
allocation.

Implement MAC framework access control entry points relating to

access control on mountpoint listing using the various statfs()
variations. In the future, it might also be desirable to
implement checks on mount() and unmount().

Invoke the necessary MAC entry points to maintain labels on

following the mount of the root file system, but prior to the
start of the userland init process to permit policies to

frees it again. The idea was to perform M_WAITOK allocations in a
process context to reduce the risk of later interrupt-context
M_NOWAIT allocations failing, but in fact this code can be called
from contexts where it is not desirable to sleep (e.g. if_start
routines), so it causes lots of witness "could sleep" warnings.

Label socket IPC objects, permitting security features to be maintained

socket: the label of the socket itself, and a cached peer label
permitting interogation of the remote endpoint. Since socket locking
is not yet present in the base tree, these objects are not locked,
but are assumed to follow the same semantics as other modifiable

other interesting entries in struct ucred, failing to use the
documented credential management APIs (such as crcopy, crdup, ...)
can result in data corruption or incorrect behavior.

Introduce two node vnode operations required to support MAC. First,
VOP_REFRESHLABEL(), which will be invoked by callers requiring that
vp->v_label be sufficiently "fresh" for access control purposes.
Second, VOP_SETLABEL(), which be invoked by callers requiring that
the passed label contents be updated. The file system is responsible
for updating v_label if appropriate in coordination with the MAC
framework, as well as committing to disk. File systems that are
not MAC-aware need not implement these VOPs, as the MAC framework
will default to maintaining a single label for all vnodes based
on the label on the file system mount point.

While I don't think this is the best solution, it certainly is the
fastest and in trying to find bottlenecks in network related code
I want this out of the way, so that I don't have to think about it.
What this means, for mbuf clusters anyway is:
- one less malloc() to do for every cluster allocation (replaced with
a relatively quick calculation + assignment)
- no more free() in the cluster free case (replaced with empty space) :-)
This can offer a substantial throughput improvement, but it may not for
all cases. Particularly noticable for larger buffer sends/recvs.
See http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/code/measure2.txt for a rough
idea.
