Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] sysctl: support encoding values directly in the table entry
Eric points out: "by turning .extra1 and .extra2 into longs instead of
keeping them as pointers and needing constants to be pointed at somewhere
.. The only people I can see who find a significant benefit by
consolidating all of the constants into one place are people who know how
to stomp kernel memory."
This patch supports encoding values directly in table entries through the
following work:
- extra1/extra2 and min/max are placed in one union to ensure that the
previous code is not broken, then we have time to gradually remove these
unnecessary extra1/extra2;
- two bits were used to represent the information of the above union:
SYSCTL_FLAG_MIN: 0, using extra1. 1, using min.
SYSCTL_FLAG_MAX: 0, using extra2. 1, using max.
- since the proc file's mode field only uses 9 bits(777), we could use the
additional two bits(S_ISUID and S_ISGID) to temporarily represent
SYSCTL_FLAG_MIN and SYSCTL_FLAG_MAX.
- added some helper macros.
By introducing long min/max to replace void * extra1/extra2 in most cases,
unnecessary variables can be removed to save memory and avoid attacks.
