Theprivilege restriction syscall has now been renamed to pledge(2) by Theo de Raadt in this commit

CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org 2015/10/08 19:17:21 Modified files: sys/sys : syscall_mi.h sys/conf : files sys/kern : sys_generic.c Added files: sys/kern : kern_pledge.c Removed files: sys/kern : kern_tame.c Log message: Rename tame() to pledge(). This fairly interface has evolved to be more strict than anticipated. It allows a programmer to pledge/promise/covenant that their program will operate within an easily defined subset of the Unix environment, or it pays the price.



But of course a renaming comes with more work to be committed. One of the early entries in a series of followups was this one:



Modified files: lib/libc : Symbols.list lib/libc/sys : Makefile.inc Added files: lib/libc/sys : pledge.2 tame.c Removed files: lib/libc/sys : tame.2 Log message: tame -> pledge conversion, in libc. I should crank libc, but am cheating hoping things go well. The old symbol is faked via a stupid stub function, until next major crank when it can be removed. I am expecting guenther to scream at me.

Some followups only touched one file, like this one

CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org 2015/10/08 19:26:40 Modified files: include : unistd.h Log message: tame -> pledge.

while others were seemingly more extensive, like this one , with the long list of base system programs that have been successfully converted to use the interface:

The renaming touched several other commits, and we should expect more activity in this area as pledge(2) becomes an ever more visible part of the OpenBSD programming environment.
