These have no effect (and WITHOUT_GNU is documented as having no
effect). I intend to later introduce a WITHOUT_GPL knob to serve a
similar purpose as WITHOUT_GNU's previously documented intent, but with
a more accurate name. To avoid confusion over the transition though just
remove the existing, nonfunctional ones.
Note that this commit also adds the default riscv settings for all
options since riscv was added to 'make targets' since the last time
this was generated.

Multiple periodic scripts sleep for a random amount of time in order to
mitigate the thundering herd problem. This is bad, because the sum of
multiple uniformly distributed random variables approaches a normal
distribution, so the problem isn't mitigated as effectively as it would be
with a single sleep.
This change creates a single configurable anticongestion sleep. periodic
will only sleep if at least one script requires it, and it will never sleep
more than once per invocation. It also won't sleep if periodic was run
interactively, fixing an unrelated longstanding bug.

man(1) has some logic to use two spaces after a full stop, which is
useful for spotting sentence breaks in monospace fonts. However,
this logic is very simple, treating almost all '.' characters as
end-of-sentence markers, unless followed by certain other
characters. For example, '.,' is not end-of-sentence, and neither
is ".) ", but ".)" at the end of a line triggers the sentence-end
detection.
Apply a zero-width space to a few instances of this in share/man,
and also supply a missing full stop for an instance that occurred at
the end of a sentence.
Leave untouched several instances that are at the end of a sentence
or list element.

Note that makeman's use of 'make showconfig' interacts poorly with
the COMPILER_FEATURES test in share/mk/src.opts.mk, because it tests the
host compiler, not the bootstrap compiler that will actually be used to
build world. This causes it to report that Clang is enabled by default
on MIPS and PowerPC.
For example:
% make TARGET_ARCH=mips64 showconfig | grep CLANG
MK_CLANG = yes
MK_CLANG_BOOTSTRAP = no
MK_CLANG_EXTRAS = no
MK_CLANG_FULL = yes
MK_CLANG_IS_CC = no
I am committing this version anyway to avoid extraneous diffs in
src.conf.5 after every other WITH_/WITHOUT_FOO change.
In addition, we intend to switch to a C++11 compiler for all archs for
12.0 (either by fixing Clang for those archs, or by requiring an
external toolchain), and then src.conf.5 will be correct.

The ea_name string is not nul-terminated. Correct the documentation.
Because the subsequent field is padded to 8 bytes, and the padding is
zeroed, the ea_name string will appear to be nul-terminated whenever the
length isn't exactly one (mod eight).
This was introduced in r167010 (2007).
Additionally, mark the length fields as unsigned. This particularly
matters for the single byte ea_namelength field, which can represent
extended attribute names up to 255 bytes long.
No functional change.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.
