* Revert r267961, r267973:gjb2014-06-271-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output, such as: 1) no output from sysctl(8) 2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1) or uname(1) truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
* Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check ifhselasky2014-06-271-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel. Other changes: - Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask" to "hw.pcic.intr_mask". - Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel. - Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed TUNABLE statements. - Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL(). - Wrapped two very long lines. - Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered. - Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

* Mark all SYSCTL_NODEs static that have no corresponding SYSCTL_DECLs.ed2011-11-071-1/+1
| | | | | | The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no reason why it shouldn't be static.

* Modify stack(9) stack_print() and stack_sbuf_print() routines to use newrwatson2007-12-011-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | linker interfaces for looking up function names and offsets from instruction pointers. Create two variants of each call: one that is "DDB-safe" and avoids locking in the linker, and one that is safe for use in live kernels, by virtue of observing locking, and in particular safe when kernel modules are being loaded and unloaded simultaneous to their use. This will allow them to be used outside of debugging contexts. Modify two of three current stack(9) consumers to use the DDB-safe interfaces, as they run in low-level debugging contexts, such as inside lockmgr(9) and the kernel memory allocator. Update man page.
* Add buffer corruption protection (RedZone) for kernel's malloc(9).pjd2006-01-311-0/+181
It detects both: buffer underflows and buffer overflows bugs at runtime (on free(9) and realloc(9)) and prints backtraces from where memory was allocated and from where it was freed. Tested by: kris
