The C implementation of str{,r}chr are not linked to the build, because assembly implementations are used, but change to code for easier reference. At least the i386 and amd64 are checked and seem to do the correct thing. Found thanks to the csh any/strchr change. minor pointers and OK millert@

of the pointer returned by getpw{ent,nam,uid}(). We unmap the buffer each time to catch callers using a stale passwd struct pointer. As a special case, we do not unmap the buffer if the previous lookup was for the same name or uid. This special case may be removed in the future. OK deraadt@

2018-07-13Unveiling unveil(2).Bob Beck
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@
2018-07-12Add hw.ncpuonline to count the number of online CPUs.cheloha
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

2018-07-10In asm.h ensure NENTRY uses the old-school nop-sled align, but change standardTheo de Raadt
ENTRY is a trapsled. Fix a few functions which fall-through into an ENTRY macro. amd64 binaries now are free of double+-nop sequences (except for one assember nit in aes-586.pl). Previous changes by guenther got us here. ok mortimer kettenis

2018-06-25During open(2), release the fdp lock before calling vn_open(9).Visa Hankala
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.
