Fix core corruption caused by race in note_procstat_vmmap

This fix is spiritually similar to r287442 and was discovered thanks to
the KASSERT added in that revision.

NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' vm map
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move during coredump, this is racy.

We do not remove the race, only prevent it from causing coredump
corruption.

- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_vmmapinfo, to allow users to disable
kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_VMMAP notes. This avoids VMMAP corruption
and truncation, even if names change, at the cost of up to PATH_MAX
bytes per mapped object. The new sysctl is documented in core.5.

- Fix note_procstat_vmmap to self-limit in the second pass. This
addresses corruption, at the cost of sometimes producing a truncated
result.

- Fix PROCSTAT_VMMAP consumers libutil (and libprocstat, via copy-paste)
to grok the new zero padding.

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

Include param.h instead of types.h when using user.h. Otherwise there is
a dependence on ucred.h including audit.h including param.h, which we
would like to eliminate.

# 6c3b8117 18-Dec-2008 Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.org>

Initialize the cntp pointer to 0 prior to doing any work so that callers
don't try to iterate through garbage or NULL memory. Additionally, return
NULL instead of 0 on error.

Attempt a quick bandaid for arm build breakage. I went to the trouble of
maintaining alignment, but I'm not sure how to tell gcc this.


# 43151ee6 01-Dec-2008 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Merge user/peter/kinfo branch as of r185547 into head.

This changes struct kinfo_filedesc and kinfo_vmentry such that they are
same on both 32 and 64 bit platforms like i386/amd64 and won't require
sysctl wrapping.

Two new OIDs are assigned. The old ones are available under
COMPAT_FREEBSD7 - but it isn't that simple. The superceded interface
was never actually released on 7.x.

The other main change is to pack the data passed to userland via the
sysctl. kf_structsize and kve_structsize are reduced for the copyout.
If you have a process with 100,000+ sockets open, the unpacked records
require a 132MB+ copyout. With packing, it is "only" ~35MB. (Still
seriously unpleasant, but not quite as devastating). A similar problem
exists for the vmentry structure - have lots and lots of shared libraries
and small mmaps and its copyout gets expensive too.

My immediate problem is valgrind. It traditionally achieves this
functionality by parsing procfs output, in a packed format. Secondly, when
tracing 32 bit binaries on amd64 under valgrind, it uses a cross compiled
32 bit binary which ran directly into the differing data structures in 32
vs 64 bit mode. (valgrind uses this to track file descriptor operations
and this therefore affected every single 32 bit binary)

I've added two utility functions to libutil to unpack the structures into
a fixed record length and to make it a little more convenient to use.
