Introduce support for Mandatory Access Control and extensible
kernel access control. Extensions to libc to provide basic MAC label manipulation facilities for userland. These interface will be replaced in the next month or two with more flexible interfaces, but provide sufficient support to allow use of the Biba and MLS policies for user applications. libc_r wrappers to follow.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mac_set_file ,
+.Nm mac_set_fd ,
+.Nm mac_set_proc
+.Nd set the MAC label for a file or process
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/mac.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_set_file "const char *path_p" "mac_t label"
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_set_fd "int fd" "mac_t label"
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_set_proc "mac_t label"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mac_set_file
+and
+.Fn mac_set_fd
+functions associate a MAC label
+specified by
+.Fa label
+to the file referenced to by
+.Fa path_p ,
+or to the file descriptor
+.Fa fd ,
+respectively. Note this function will
+fail on socket descriptors. For information on
+setting MAC labels on socket descriptors see
+.Xr setsockopt 2 .
+The
+.Fn mac_set_proc
+function associates the MAC label
+specified by
+.Fa label
+to the calling process.
+.Pp
+A process is allowed to set a label for a file
+only if it has MAC write access to the file,
+and its effective user id is equal to
+the owner of the file,
+or has appropriate privileges.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std mac_set_fd mac_set_file mac_set_proc
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+MAC write access to the file is denied.
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+.Fa fd
+is not a valid file descriptor.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa label
+is not a valid MAC label.
+.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
+Setting MAC labels is not supported
+by the file referenced by
+.Fa fd .
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The calling process had insufficient privelege
+to change the MAC label.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+File system for the object being modified
+is read only.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
+.\" XXX POSIX_NO_TRUNC?
+The length of the pathname in

+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+The file referenced by
+.Fa path_p
+does not exist.
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of the pathname
+referenced by
+.Fa path_p
+is not a directory.
