* nanosleep: loop tsleep(9) to ensure coverage of the full timeout range.cheloha2018-12-311-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | tsleep(9)'s maximum timeout shrinks as HZ grows, so this ensures we do not return early from longer timeouts on alpha or on custom kernels. POSIX says you cannot return early unless a signal is delivered, so this makes us more compliant with the standard. While here, remove the 100 million second upper bound. It is an artifact from itimerfix() and it serves no discernible purpose. ok tedu@ visa@

* Add new KERN_CPUSTATS sysctl(2) so we can identify offline CPUs.cheloha2018-11-171-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of hw.smt we need a way to determine whether a given CPU is "online" or "offline" from userspace. KERN_CPTIME2 is an array, and so cannot be cleanly extended for this purpose, so add a new sysctl(2) KERN_CPUSTATS with an extensible struct. At the moment it's just KERN_CPTIME2 with a flags member, but it can grow as needed. KERN_CPUSTATS appears to have been defined by BSDi long ago, but there are few (if any) packages in the wild still using the symbol so breakage in ports should be near zero. No other system inherited the symbol from BSDi, either. Then, use the new sysctl(2) in systat(1) and top(1): - systat(1) draws placeholder marks ('-') instead of percentages for offline CPUs in the cpu view. - systat(1) omits offline CPU ticks when drawing the "big bar" in the vmstat view. The upshot is that the bar isn't half idle when half your logical CPUs are disabled. - top(1) does not draw lines for offline CPUs; if CPUs toggle on or offline in interactive mode we redraw the display to expand/reduce space for the new/missing CPUs. This is consistent with what some top(1) implementations do on Linux. - top(1) omits offline CPUs from the totals when CPU totals are combined into a single line (the '-1' flag). Originally prompted by deraadt@. Discussed endlessly with deraadt@, ketennis@, and sthen@. Tested by jmc@ and jca@. Earlier versions also discussed with jca@. Earlier versions tested by jmc@, tb@, and many others. docs ok jmc@, kernel bits ok ketennis@, everything ok sthen@, "Is your stuff in yet?" deraadt@

* Unveiling unveil(2).beck2018-07-133-5/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This brings unveil into the tree, disabled by default - Currently this will return EPERM on all attempts to use it until we are fully certain it is ready for people to start using, but this now allows for others to do more tweaking and experimentation. Still needs to send the unveil's across forks and execs before fully enabling. Many thanks to robert@ and deraadt@ for extensive testing. ok deraadt@
* Add hw.ncpuonline to count the number of online CPUs.cheloha2018-07-121-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The introduction of hw.smt means that logical CPUs can be disabled after boot and prior to suspend/resume. If hw.smt=0 (the default), there needs to be a way to count the number of hardware threads available on the system at any given time. So, import HW_NCPUONLINE/hw.ncpuonline from NetBSD and document it. hw.ncpu becomes equal to the number of CPUs given to sched_init_cpu() during boot, while hw.ncpuonline is equal to the number of CPUs available to the scheduler in the cpuset "sched_all_cpus". Set_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN equal to this new sysctl and keep _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF equal to hw.ncpu. This is preferable to adding a new sysctl to count the number of configured CPUs and keeping hw.ncpu equal to the number of online CPUs because such a change would break software in the ecosystem that relies on HW_NCPU/hw.ncpu to measure CPU usage and the like. Such software in base includes top(1), systat(1), and snmpd(8), and perhaps others. We don't need additional locking to count the cardinality of a cpuset in this case because the only interfaces that can modify said cardinality are sysctl(2) and ioctl(2), both of which are under the KERNEL_LOCK. Software using HW_NCPU/hw.ncpu to determine optimal parallism will need to be updated to use HW_NCPUONLINE/hw.ncpuonline. Until then, such software may perform suboptimally. However, most changes will be similar to the change included here for libcxx's std::thread:hardware_concurrency(): using HW_NCPUONLINE in lieu of HW_NCPU should be sufficient for determining optimal parallelism for most software if the change to _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN is insufficient. Prompted by deraadt. Discussed at length with kettenis, deraadt, and sthen. Lots of patch tweaks from kettenis. ok kettenis, "proceed" deraadt
* During open(2), release the fdp lock before calling vn_open(9).visa2018-06-251-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This lets other threads of the process modify the file descriptor table even if the vn_open(9) call blocks. The change has an effect on dup2(2) and dup3(2). If the new descriptor is the same as the one reserved by an unfinished open(2), the system call will fail with error EBUSY. The accept(2) system call already behaves like this.

* Returns EBUSY if dup2(2) is called for a LARVAL file.mpi2018-05-281-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | This prevents a panic due to a double free if a program exits after having called accept(2) and dup2(2) on the same fd but without the corresponding connect(5). It will also allows us to simplify file descriptor locking. The error code has been choosed to match Linux's behavior. Pointed by Mathieu on tech@ after a discussion with guenther@. ok visa@

* Validate timespec and return ECANCELED when interrupted with SA_RESTART.pirofti2018-04-241-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Discussing with mpi@ and guenther@, we decided to first fix the existing semaphore implementation with regards to SA_RESTART and POSIX compliant returns in the case where we deal with restartable signals. Currently we return EINTR everywhere which is mostly incorrect as the user can not know if she needs to recall the syscall or not. Return ECANCELED to signal that SA_RESTART was set and EINTR otherwise. Regression tests pass and so does the posixsuite. Timespec validation bits are needed to pass the later. OK mpi@, guenther@
