No. It is not used often. In fact, in the *elad-kernelauth* branch it is not used *at all*.
...which is the way it ought to be. Now that I think about it, all of the suser() call sites would have to change anyway, because p- >p_ucred is now p->p_cred. Note, Darwin provides a kauth_cred_get (), which returns the credentials of the current thread -- we should also provide this... our implementation can simply be:
kauth_cred_t
kauth_cred_get(void)
{
return (curproc->p_cred);
}
(Darwin's is more complicated, because the Darwin kernel supports
binding different credentials to each thread in a process...)
