I don't understand much of it, but I can confirm that the last commits fixed the problem I noticed with signals sent in syscallret().

I realized I probably shouldn't update the diff just for small changes... it's disruptive. Especially for a large diffs. Sorry about that!

Minor cleanups.

sigsys_gmail.com added a comment to D35116: mac_curtain infrastructure: everything.

Overall this change seems generally well contained for something that touches most syscalls. There are a few things that seem stray that I've noted.

I'm a bit worried about adding an on-by-default (we enable MAC in GENERIC for mac_ntpd) branch and function call to many, if not most, syscalls. Should the SY_CAP bits be under MAC or under a separate define? Presumably your goal is to move toward something usable with GENERIC so that would argue for not adding a separate knob.

sigsys_gmail.com added a comment to D34903: Allow posix_fadvise in capability mode.

Huh now that it got mentioned, it's a little bit worrying that it can trigger reads internally (even if the application shouldn't be able to get the data). Could something bad happen from some read side-effects somehow?

A few thoughts about integration with syscalls.master:

  • The if SYSFIL values aren't in syscalls.master they people won't remember to add them. This happened all the time with CAPENABLED annotations when it was in a separate file.

sigsys_gmail.com added a comment to D34761: mac_curtain infrastructure: syscall filters.

I just left some comments based on reading the code, I don't have a lot to say about the high-level design yet. It would be nice to see the new MAC handlers mentioned in your review description.

Some vague and not-very-actionable comments: we have a lot of new terminology here: curtain, sysfil, restricted mode, veiled. I wonder if it could be simpler. I'm also not sure how much benefit we get from making capability mode a special case of "restricted mode"; I also wonder a bit if MAC could be extended to handle more of what sysfil and restricted mode are doing.

Hard to say. It would make sense and IIUC it's what Linux does (though there are other incompatibilities there already and it treats options with an without dashes differently (its -a excludes session leaders for some reason, but the "BSD style" option without dash does not)).

I'm sure that this patch is correct after spending more time with it and it's very small so I'll leave it as is to not lose it. The other changes might be more problematic.

wrt to the help files being installed multiple times, kevans already figured it out, but just to make it clear, the loader has some architecture specific help files but they also don't work.

Also, I just did a make world to test this patch (even though it's probably not fully correct) and there were no apparent problems apart from loader.help getting installed multiple times (once for all of the loader variants).

sigsys_gmail.com added a comment to D22951: "help" loader command broken.

Just did a test booting in non-UEFI mode and then loaddev is set the same as currdev here. So the second problem seems to be specific to the EFI loader.

After testing on an old Pentium 4, turns out the line counting algorithm was slower than the naive implementation because operations on 64 bits long longs were slow. Changing it to use 32 bits long makes it faster but only 1.5 times or so faster.
