but on architectures where pointers are not integers (CHERI) and may
not even share registers (CHERI-MIPS) it is necessiary to differentiate

truss: improved support for decoding compat32 arguments

Currently running `truss -a -e` does not decode any
argument values for freebsd32_* syscalls (open/readlink/etc.)

This change checks whether a syscall starts with freebsd{32,64}_ and if
so strips that prefix when looking up the syscall information. To ensure
that the truss logs include the real syscall name we create a copy of
the syscall information struct with the updated.

The other problem is that when reading string array values, truss
naively iterates over an array of char* and fetches the pointer value.
This will result in arguments not being loaded if the pointer is not
aligned to sizeof(void*), which can happens in the compat32 case. If it
happens to be aligned, we would end up printing every other value.
To fix this problem, this changes adds a pointer_size member to the
procabi struct and uses that to correctly read indirect arguments
as 64/32 bit addresses in the the compat32 case (and also compat64 on
CheriBSD).

The motivating use-case for this change is using truss for 64-bit
programs on a CHERI system, but most of the diff also applies to 32-bit
compat on a 64-bit system, so I'm upstreaming this instead of keeping it
as a local CheriBSD patch.

Use PT_GET_SC_ARGS and PT_GET_SC_RET in truss.

This removes all of the architecture-specific functions from truss.

A per-ABI structure is still needed to map syscall numbers to names
and FreeBSD errno values to ABI error values as well as hold syscall
counters. However, the linker set of ABI structures is now replaced
with a simple table mapping ABI names to structures. This approach
permits sharing the same ABI structure among separate names such as
i386 a.out and ELF binaries as well as ELF v1 vs ELF v2 for powerpc64.

A few differences are visible due to using PT_GET_SC_RET to fetch the
error value of a system call. Note that ktrace/kdump have had the
"new" behaviors for a long time already:
- System calls that return with EJUSTRETURN or ERESTART will now be
noticed and logged as such. Previously sigreturn (which uses
EJUSTRETURN) would report whatever random value was in the register
holding errno from the previous system call for example. Now it
reports EJUSTRETURN.
- System calls that return errno as their error value such as
posix_fallocate() and posix_fadvise() now report non-zero return
values as errors instead of success with a non-zero return value.

Make timespecadd(3) and friends public

The timespecadd(3) family of macros were imported from NetBSD back in
r35029. However, they were initially guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL. In the
meantime, we have grown at least 28 syscalls that use timespecs in some
way, leading many programs both inside and outside of the base system to
redefine those macros. It's better just to make the definitions public.

Our kernel currently defines two-argument versions of timespecadd and
timespecsub. NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeDesktop.org's libbsd, however, define
three-argument versions. Solaris also defines a three-argument version, but
only in its kernel. This revision changes our definition to match the
common three-argument version.

Bump _FreeBSD_version due to the breaking KPI change.

various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

No functional change intended.

Rework syscall structure lookups.

Avoid always using an O(n^2) loop over known syscall structures with
strcmp() on each system call. Instead, use a per-ABI cache indexed by
the system call number. The first 1024 system calls (which should cover
all of the normal system calls in currently-supported ABIs) use a flat array
indexed by the system call number to find system call structure. For other
system calls, a linked list of structures storing an integer to structure
mapping is stored in the ABI. The linked list isn't very smart, but it
should only be used by buggy applications invoking unknown system calls.

This also fixes handling of unknown system calls which currently trigger
a NULL pointer dereference.

to exit() is included in the trace output. Arguments passed to thread
exit system calls such as thr_exit() are not logged as voluntary thread
exits cannot be distinguished from involuntary thread exits during a

# a5f14abf 26-Jan-2016 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Add support to libsysdecode for decoding system call names.

A new sysdecode_syscallname() function accepts a system call code and
returns a string of the corresponding name (or NULL if the code is
unknown). To support different process ABIs, the new function accepts a
value from a new sysdecode_abi enum as its first argument to select the
ABI in use. Current ABIs supported include FREEBSD (native binaries),
FREEBSD32, LINUX, LINUX32, and CLOUDABI64. Note that not all ABIs are
supported by all platforms. In general, a given ABI is only supported
if a platform can execute binaries for that ABI.

To simplify the implementation, libsysdecode's build reuses the
existing pre-generated files from the kernel source tree rather than
duplicating new copies of said files during the build.

kdump(1) and truss(1) now use these functions to map system call
identifiers to names. For kdump(1), a new 'syscallname()' function
consolidates duplicated code from ktrsyscall() and ktrsyscallret().
The Linux ABI no longer requires custom handling for ktrsyscall() and
linux_ktrsyscall() has been removed as a result.

# 2b75c8ad 30-Sep-2015 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Several changes to truss.
- Refactor the interface between the ABI-independent code and the
ABI-specific backends. The backends now provide smaller hooks to
fetch system call arguments and return values. The rest of the
system call entry and exit handling that was previously duplicated
among all the backends has been moved to one place.
- Merge the loop when waiting for an event with the loop for handling stops.
This also means not emulating a procfs-like interface on top of ptrace().
Instead, use a single event loop that fetches process events via waitid().
Among other things this allows us to report the full 32-bit exit value.
- Use PT_FOLLOW_FORK to follow new child processes instead of forking a new
truss process for each new child. This allows one truss process to monitor
a tree of processes and truss -c should now display one total for the
entire tree instead of separate summaries per process.
- Use the recently added fields to ptrace_lwpinfo to determine the current
system call number and argument count. The latter is especially useful
and fixes a regression since the conversion from procfs. truss now
generally prints the correct number of arguments for most system calls
rather than printing extra arguments for any call not listed in the
table in syscalls.c.
- Actually check the new ABI when processes call exec. The comments claimed
that this happened but it was not being done (perhaps this was another
regression in the conversion to ptrace()). If the new ABI after exec
is not supported, truss detaches from the process. If truss does not
support the ABI for a newly executed process the process is killed
before it returns from exec.
- Along with the refactor, teach the various ABI-specific backends to
fetch both return values, not just the first. Use this to properly
report the full 64-bit return value from lseek(). In addition, the
handler for "pipe" now pulls the pair of descriptors out of the
return values (which is the true kernel system call interface) but
displays them as an argument (which matches the interface exported by
libc).
- Each ABI handler adds entries to a linker set rather than requiring
a statically defined table of handlers in main.c.
- The arm and mips system call fetching code was changed to follow the
same pattern as amd64 (and the in-kernel handler) of fetching register
arguments first and then reading any remaining arguments from the
stack. This should fix indirect system call arguments on at least
arm.
- The mipsn32 and n64 ABIs will now look for arguments in A4 through A7.
- Use register %ebp for the 6th system call argument for Linux/i386 ABIs
to match the in-kernel argument fetch code.
- For powerpc binaries on a powerpc64 system, fetch the extra arguments
on the stack as 32-bit values that are then copied into the 64-bit
argument array instead of reading the 32-bit values directly into the
64-bit array.

- Fix detaching under some circumstances.

When truss is detaching from very active process it is possible to
hang on waitpid(2) in restore_proc() forever, because
ptrace(PT_SYSCALL) must be called before detaching, to allow the
debugging process to continue execution. Also when truss called with
'-c' argument, it does not print anything after detach, because it
immediately exits from restore_proc().

To fix these two problems make detaching deferred, but then it is
impossible to detach from a process which does not do any system call.
To fix this issue use sigaction(2) instead of signal(3) to disable
SA_RESTART flag for waitpid(2) that makes it non-restartable. Remove
global variable child_pid, because now detaching is handled in context
where child's pid is known.
