# 254627 21-Aug-2013 ken

Expand the use of stat(2) flags to allow storing some Windows/DOS
and CIFS file attributes as BSD stat(2) flags.

This work is intended to be compatible with ZFS, the Solaris CIFS
server's interaction with ZFS, somewhat compatible with MacOS X,
and of course compatible with Windows.

The Windows attributes that are implemented were chosen based on
the attributes that ZFS already supports.

The summary of the flags is as follows:

UF_SYSTEM: Command line name: "system" or "usystem"
ZFS name: XAT_SYSTEM, ZFS_SYSTEM
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM

This flag means that the file is used by the
operating system. FreeBSD does not enforce any
special handling when this flag is set.

UF_SPARSE: Command line name: "sparse" or "usparse"
ZFS name: XAT_SPARSE, ZFS_SPARSE
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SPARSE_FILE

This flag means that the file is sparse. Although
ZFS may modify this in some situations, there is
not generally any special handling for this flag.

UF_OFFLINE: Command line name: "offline" or "uoffline"
ZFS name: XAT_OFFLINE, ZFS_OFFLINE
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE

This flag means that the file has been moved to
offline storage. FreeBSD does not have any special
handling for this flag.

UF_REPARSE: Command line name: "reparse" or "ureparse"
ZFS name: XAT_REPARSE, ZFS_REPARSE
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT

This flag means that the file is a Windows reparse
point. ZFS has special handling code for reparse
points, but we don't currently have the other
supporting infrastructure for them.

UF_HIDDEN: Command line name: "hidden" or "uhidden"
ZFS name: XAT_HIDDEN, ZFS_HIDDEN
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN

This flag means that the file may be excluded from
a directory listing if the application honors it.
FreeBSD has no special handling for this flag.

The name and bit definition for UF_HIDDEN are
identical to the definition in MacOS X.

UF_READONLY: Command line name: "urdonly", "rdonly", "readonly"
ZFS name: XAT_READONLY, ZFS_READONLY
Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY

This flag means that the file may not written or
appended, but its attributes may be changed.

ZFS currently enforces this flag, but Illumos
developers have discussed disabling enforcement.

The behavior of this flag is different than MacOS X.
MacOS X uses UF_IMMUTABLE to represent the DOS
readonly permission, but that flag has a stronger
meaning than the semantics of DOS readonly permissions.

UF_ARCHIVE: Command line name: "uarch", "uarchive"
ZFS_NAME: XAT_ARCHIVE, ZFS_ARCHIVE
Windows name: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE

The UF_ARCHIVED flag means that the file has changed and
needs to be archived. The meaning is same as
the Windows FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE attribute, and
the ZFS XAT_ARCHIVE and ZFS_ARCHIVE attribute.

msdosfs and ZFS have special handling for this flag.
i.e. they will set it when the file changes.

sys/param.h: Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1000047 for the
addition of new stat(2) flags.

chflags.1: Document the new command line flag names
(e.g. "system", "hidden") available to the
user.

ls.1: Reference chflags(1) for a list of file flags
and their meanings.

strtofflags.c: Implement the mapping between the new
command line flag names and new stat(2)
flags.

chflags.2: Document all of the new stat(2) flags, and
explain the intended behavior in a little
more detail. Explain how they map to
Windows file attributes.

Different filesystems behave differently
with respect to flags, so warn the
application developer to take care when
using them.

zfs_vnops.c: Add support for getting and setting the
UF_ARCHIVE, UF_READONLY, UF_SYSTEM, UF_HIDDEN,
UF_REPARSE, UF_OFFLINE, and UF_SPARSE flags.

All of these flags are implemented using
attributes that ZFS already supports, so
the on-disk format has not changed.

ZFS currently doesn't allow setting the
UF_REPARSE flag, and we don't really have
the other infrastructure to support reparse
points.

msdosfs_denode.c,
msdosfs_vnops.c: Add support for getting and setting
UF_HIDDEN, UF_SYSTEM and UF_READONLY
in MSDOSFS.

It supported SF_ARCHIVED, but this has been
changed to be UF_ARCHIVE, which has the same
semantics as the DOS archive attribute instead
of inverse semantics like SF_ARCHIVED.

After discussion with Bruce Evans, change
several things in the msdosfs behavior:

Use UF_READONLY to indicate whether a file
is writeable instead of file permissions, but
don't actually enforce it.

Refuse to change attributes on the root
directory, because it is special in FAT
filesystems, but allow most other attribute
changes on directories.

Don't set the archive attribute on a directory
when its modification time is updated.
Windows and DOS don't set the archive attribute
in that scenario, so we are now bug-for-bug
compatible.

smbfs_node.c,
smbfs_vnops.c: Add support for UF_HIDDEN, UF_SYSTEM,
UF_READONLY and UF_ARCHIVE in SMBFS.

This is similar to changes that Apple has
made in their version of SMBFS (as of
smb-583.8, posted on opensource.apple.com),
but not quite the same.

We map SMB_FA_READONLY to UF_READONLY,
because UF_READONLY is intended to match
the semantics of the DOS readonly flag.
The MacOS X code maps both UF_IMMUTABLE
and SF_IMMUTABLE to SMB_FA_READONLY, but
the immutable flags have stronger meaning
than the DOS readonly bit.

stat.h: Add definitions for UF_SYSTEM, UF_SPARSE,
UF_OFFLINE, UF_REPARSE, UF_ARCHIVE, UF_READONLY
and UF_HIDDEN.

The definition of UF_HIDDEN is the same as
the MacOS X definition.

Add commented-out definitions of
UF_COMPRESSED and UF_TRACKED. They are
defined in MacOS X (as of 10.8.2), but we
do not implement them (yet).

ufs_vnops.c: Add support for getting and setting
UF_ARCHIVE, UF_HIDDEN, UF_OFFLINE, UF_READONLY,
UF_REPARSE, UF_SPARSE, and UF_SYSTEM in UFS.
Alphabetize the flags that are supported.

These new flags are only stored, UFS does
not take any action if the flag is set.

# 205792 28-Mar-2010 ed

Rename st_*timespec fields to st_*tim for POSIX 2008 compliance.

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.

This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.

I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.


# 189817 14-Mar-2009 das

Various namespace cleanups, including exposing fchmod() and fchmodat()
in the POSIX namespace, and hiding eaccess() and setproctitle().
Also move mknodat() from unistd.h to sys/stat.h where it belongs.
The *at() syscalls are only in CURRENT, so this shouldn't cause
problems.

# 174043 28-Nov-2007 jb

Remove _SOLARIS_C_SOURCE compatibility definitions. Unfortunately the
ZFS porting style didn't extend this, instead using a heap of additional
header files that don't get installed.

My intention had been to allow OpenSolaris external code to build on
FreeBSD out of the box (i.e. without a src tree).


# 160989 04-Aug-2006 jb

Add OpenSolaris compatibility definitions for stat64 and fstat64 which
are only visible if _SOLARIS_C_SOURCE is defined.

Note thar FreeBSD stat() and fstat() are 64-bit functions now and Solaris
still persists with both 32- and 64-bit versions. When I query this, I am
referred to: <http://www.unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lfs20mar.html>.
But when you look at the main page of unix.org you will see that the
Single Unix Specification <http://www.unix.org/version3/> is the most
recent standard they are pushing. And there are no stat64() fstat64()
functions defined there. I guess this just goes to prove that there are so
many standards, you can take your pick.


# 143952 21-Mar-2005 das

- Declare mknod in stat.h (in addition to unistd.h), as per XSI.

architectures.
o Change all headers to make use of this. This mainly involves
changing:
#ifdef _BSD_FOO_T_
typedef _BSD_FOO_T_ foo_t;
#undef _BSD_FOO_T_
#endif
to:
#ifndef _FOO_T_DECLARED
typedef __foo_t foo_t;

# 98542 21-Jun-2002 mckusick

This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

# 47028 11-May-1999 phk

Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.

Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()

For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.

Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.

In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.

In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).

A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.

Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.

Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.

Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).

Don't include <sys/time.h> if _POSIX_SOURCE is defined. This fixes

unconditionally included, and a stale comment about the need for
the pollution was not removed.

Submitted by: Whistle Communications (archie Cobbs)

These changes add the ability to specify that a UFS file/directory
cannot be unlinked. This is basically a scaled back version
of the IMMUTABLE flag. The reason is to allow an administrator
to create a directory hierarchy that a group of users
can arbitrarily add/delete files from, but that the hierarchy
itself is safe from removal by them.
If the NOUNLINK definition is set to 0
then this results in no change to what happens normally.
(and results in identical binary (in the kernel)).
It can be proven that if this bit is never set by the admin,
no new behaviour is introduced..
Several "good idea" comments from reviewers plus one grumble
about creeping featurism.
