I plan to commit https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14285 early next week. It
adds SAL 2.0 annotations to syscalls in syscalls.master and code
makesyscalls.sh to strip them out in generated files.
This is based on work I started in CheriBSD and use to validate fat
pointers at the syscall boundary. Tal Garfinkel reviewed the changes,
added annotations to COMPAT* syscalls and is using them in a record and
playback framework. One can envision other uses such as a WITNESS-like
validator for copyin/out as speculated on in the review.
As this time we are only annotating sys/kern/syscalls.master as that is
sufficient for userspace work. If kernel use cases materialize, we can
annotate other syscalls.master as needed.
