Since phk rewrote the block layer ~2 decades ago, write(2) can return
EINVAL when the target is a block device and nbytes, the write size, is
not a multiple of the sector's block size.
From the original PR:
When coming from Linux, people are surprised by the fact
that write(2) to a device must be aligned to block size.
Writing a non-aligned block onto a raw device is a case
where EINVAL is also returned but the manpage does not mention this.

The flag was added in b75a1171d8 for the sake of Varnish. However, that
idea didn't work. Quoting email from Poul-Henning:
"We had to give up sendfile(), the overhead of keeping track of everything
between the network stack and VM system made ate any gain we saw. ... I
dont think we ever shipped a version where sendfile was enabled by
default."

The O_RESOLVE_BENEATH openat(2) flag restricts name lookups such that
they remain under the directory referenced by the dirfd. This commit
introduces an implicit version of the flag, FD_RESOLVE_BENEATH, stored
in the file descriptor entry. When the flag is set, any lookup relative
to that fd automatically has O_RESOLVE_BENEATH semantics. Furthermore,
the flag is sticky, meaning that it cannot be cleared, and it is copied
by dup() and openat().
File descriptors with FD_RESOLVE_BENEATH set may not be passed to
fchdir(2) or fchroot(2). Various fd lookup routines are modified to
return fd flags to the caller.
This flag will be used to address a case where jails with different root
directories and the ability to pass SCM_RIGHTS messages across the jail
boundary can transfer directory fds in such as way as to allow a
filesystem escape.

The practical scenario that leads to this is porch(1) spawning some
utility and sending it a SIGSTOP as a debugging aide. The user then
attaches a debugger and walks through how some specific input is
processed, then detaches to allow the script to continue. When ptrace
is detached, the process resumes execution but the parent is never
notified and may be stuck in wait(2) for it to continue or terminate.
Other platforms seem to re-suspend the process after the debugger is
detached, but neither behavior seems unreasonable. Just notifying the
parent that the child has resumed is a relatively low-risk departure
from our current behavior and had apparently been considered in the
past, based on pre-existing comments.
Move p_flag and p_xsig handling into childproc_continued(), as just
sending the SIGCHLD here isn't really useful without P_CONTINUED set
and the other caller already sets these up as well.

Provide a clock through clock_gettime() that returns the current TAI
time (UTC without leap seconds) as a complement to CLOCK_REALTIME. This
provides compatibility with Linux, which also provides a CLOCK_TAI since
kernel 2.6.26, and this seems to be becoming the standard way to acquire
TAI time. Unlike Linux, this code will return EINVAL if the TAI offset
(set by ntpd, ptpd, etc.) is not known since it seems pathological for
CLOCK_TAI to silently give the wrong (UTC) time if the offset is not
known as it does on Linux.

Don't apply tc_precexp and TIMESEL() that uses sbt_timethreshold (both
derivatives of kern.timecounter.alloweddeviation) to sleep callout when
processing the default and precise clocks. The default timer deviation of
5% is our internal optimization in the kernel, and we shouldn't leak that
into the POSIX APIs. Note that application doesn't have any control to
cancel the deviation, only a superuser can change the global tunable [with
side effects].
Leave the deviation for CLOCK_*_FAST and CLOCK_SECOND that are documented
as imprecise.
Provide a sysctl kern.timecounter.nanosleep_precise that allows to restore
the previous behavior.

Previously, __realpathat was in libc and libsys (as is currently
standard), but not exported from libc which meant the stub in libc was
not filtered and thus libc's copy of the syscall was used. This broke
an upcoming change to CheriBSD limiting syscalls to libsys.
The realpath(3) implementation now uses __sys___realpathat so there are no
consumers of __realpathat. Switch it to PSEUDO (only _foo and __sys_foo
symbols) and remove __realpathat from Symbol.map.

- Remove readlinkat() from the list, since it is already discussed

to the list when readlinkat() adds support for non-dir fd with
an empty relative path (as if with AT_EMPTY_PATH), however,
such use case is also discussed in the next paragraph.
- Add funlinkat() to the list, since it accepts an extra fd
(of the file to be unlinked), which is worth extra mentioning.
