            Bug ID: 224443
           Summary: exp-run: SysV IPC API cleanup
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: brooks@FreeBSD.org
            Blocks: 224299, 224300

The System V message queue and semaphore headers and APIs contain a number =
of
mistakes.   Some types are declared that should not be, and the *id_ds stru=
cts
contain kernel-only members.

The review https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13538 contains a patch which removes
the types that should not be declared, fixes the system as required, and
renames the kernel-only, non-standard members to break existing consumers (=
if
any).  This isn't expected to break much as standard autoconf macros exist =
to
detect the most common issue (improperly declaring union semun).  The *is_ds
member changes are to explore the possibility of revising the APIs to remove
the members.
