Replace `make regress` (legacy test make target) and `make test` (incomplete
test make target added with the FreeBSD test suite) with make check as it's
consistent with other open source projects.
`make check` defaults to running tests from `.OBJDIR`, but can be overridden
with the `CHECKDIR` variable.
Add `make checkworld` target to simplify running the FreeBSD test suite from
`TESTSBASE` (i.e. the top-level tests directory), similar to buildworld.
Document `make check` and `make checkworld` in build(7).
Other minor changes:
- Rename intermediate file (`Kyuafile.auto`) to `Kyuafile` to simplify
`make check`.
- Remove terse warnings attached to `beforetest`/`aftertest`.
- Add kyua binary check to check target in suite.test.mk; error out if it's

Now it can be used to effectively "build in a subdir". It will use the
'cross-tools', 'libraries', and 'includes' phases of 'buildworld' to properly
setup a WORLDTMP to use. Then it will build 'everything' only in the
listed SUBDIR_OVERRIDE directories. It is still required to list custom
library directories in LOCAL_LIB_DIRS if SUBDIR_OVERRIDE is something
that contains libraries outside of the normal area (such as
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=contrib/ofed needing LOCAL_LIB_DIRS=contrib/ofed/usr.lib)
Without these changes, SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with buildworld was broken or hit
obscure failures due to missing libraries, includes, or cross compiler.
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with 'make <target that is not buildworld>' will continue to
work as it did before although its usefulness is questionable.
With a fully populated WORLDTMP, building with a SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with
-DNO_CLEAN only takes a few minutes to start building the target
directories. This is still much better than building unneeded things via
'everything' when testing small subset changes. A BUILDFAST or
SKIPWORLDTMP might make sense for this as well.
- Add in '_worldtmp' as we still need to create WORLDTMP as later targets,
such as '_libraries' and '_includes' use it. This probably was avoiding
calling '_worldtmp' to not remove WORLDTMP for debugging purposes, but
-DNO_CLEAN can be used for that.
- '_legacy' must be included since '_build-tools' uses -legacy.
The SUBDIR_OVERRIDE change came in r95509, while -legacy being part
of build-tools came in r113136.
- 'bootstrap-tools' is still skipped as this feature is not for
upgrades.
- Fix buildworld combined with SUBDIR_OVERRIDE not installing all includes.
The original change for SUBDIR_OVERRIDE in r95509 kept '_includes'
and '_libraries' as building everything possible as the SUBDIR_OVERRIDE
could need anything from them. However in r96462 the real 'includes'
target was changed from manual sub-makes to just recursing 'includes'
on SUBDIR, thus not all includes have been installed into WORLDTMP since then
when combined with 'buildworld'.
This is not done unless calling 'make buildworld' as it would be
unexpected to have it go into all directories when doing 'make
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=mydir includes'.
- Also need to build the cross-compiler so it is used with --sysroot.
If this is burdensome then telling the build to use the local compiler
as an external compiler (thus using a proper --sysroot to WORLDTMP) is
possible by setting CC=/usr/bin/cc, CXX=/usr/bin/c++, etc.
- Don't build the lib32 distribution with SUBDIR_OVERRIDE in buildworld
since it won't contain anything related to SUBDIR_OVERRIDE. Testing
of the lib32 build can be done with 'make build32'.
- Document these changes in build.7

This avoids needing a large boot partition / file system in order to
accommodate multiple kernels, and provides consistency with userland
debug. This also simplifies the process of moving kernel debug files
to a separate package and installing them on demand.
In addition, change kernel debug file extension to .debug, to match
userland debug files.
When using the supported kernel installation method the
/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
as is done with /boot/kernel.

for counter mode), and AES-GCM. Both of these modes have been added to
the aesni module.
Included is a set of tests to validate that the software and aesni
module calculate the correct values. These use the NIST KAT test
vectors. To run the test, you will need to install a soon to be
committed port, nist-kat that will install the vectors. Using a port
is necessary as the test vectors are around 25MB.
All the man pages were updated. I have added a new man page, crypto.7,
which includes a description of how to use each mode. All the new modes
and some other AES modes are present. It would be good for someone
else to go through and document the other modes.
A new ioctl was added to support AEAD modes which AES-GCM is one of them.
Without this ioctl, it is not possible to test AEAD modes from userland.
Add a timing safe bcmp for use to compare MACs. Previously we were using
bcmp which could leak timing info and result in the ability to forge

Add a minor optimization to the aesni module so that single segment
mbufs don't get copied and instead are updated in place. The aesni
module needs to be updated to support blocked IO so segmented mbufs
don't have to be copied.

This is to ensure proper use of these functions.

Initially in_matrote() in_clsroute() in their current state was introduced by
r4105 20 years ago. Instead of deleting inactive routes immediately, we kept them
in route table, setting RTPRF_OURS flag and some expire time. After that, either
GC came or RTPRF_OURS got removed on first-packet. It was a good solution
in that days (and probably another decade after that) to keep TCP metrics.
However, after moving metrics to TCP hostcache in r122922, most of in_rmx
functionality became unused. It might had been used for flushing icmp-originated
routes before rte mutexes/refcounting, but I'm not sure about that.
So it looks like this is nearly impossible to make GC do its work nowadays:
in_rtkill() ignores non-RTPRF_OURS routes.
route can only become RTPRF_OURS after dropping last reference via rtfree()
which calls in_clsroute(), which, it turn, ignores UP and non-RTF_DYNAMIC routes.
Dynamic routes can still be installed via received redirect, but they
have default lifetime (no specific rt_expire) and no one has another trie walker
to call RTFREE() on them.
So, the changelist:
* remove custom rnh_match / rnh_close matching function.
* remove all GC functions
* partially revert r256695 (proto3 is no more used inside kernel,
it is not possible to use rt_expire from user point of view, proto3 support
is not complete)
* Finish r241884 (similar to this commit) and remove remaining IPv6 parts

Initial commit to include virtual machine images as part
of the FreeBSD release builds.
This adds a make(1) environment variable requirement,
WITH_VMIMAGES, which triggers the virtual machine image
targets when not defined to an empty value.
Relevant user-driven variables include:
o VMFORMATS: The virtual machine image formats to create.
Valid formats are provided by running 'mkimg --formats'
o VMSIZE: The size of the resulting virtual machine
image. Typical compression is roughly 140Mb, regardless
of the target size (10GB, 15GB, 20GB, 40GB sizes have been
tested with the same result).
o VMBASE: The prefix of the virtual machine disk images.
The VMBASE make(1) environment variable is suffixed with
each format in VMFORMATS for each individual disk image, as
well as '.img' for the source UFS filesystem passed to
mkimg(1).
This also includes a new script, mk-vmimage.sh, based on how
the VM images for 10.0-RELEASE, 9.3-RELEASE, and 10.1-RELEASE
were created (mk-vmimage.sh in ^/user/gjb/thermite/).
With the order in which the stages need to occur, as well as
sanity-checking error cases, it makes much more sense to
execute a shell script called from make(1), using env(1) to
set specific parameters for the target image than it does to
do this in make(1) directly.

in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.

- Add a VCSCMD variable that defaults to 'svn checkout',
and update places 'svn co' is used directly.
- After sourcing a configuration file, prefix SRCBRANCH,
PORTBRANCH, and DOCBRANCH with the SVNROOT.
- Properly capitalize 'FreeBSD.org' in the default SVNROOT.
- Update Copyright.
release.conf.sample:
- Add an example to use git instead of svn, by nullifying
SVNROOT, and setting SRCBRANCH, DOCBRANCH, and PORTBRANCH
to the URL fo a git repository.
release.7:
- Document VCSCMD.

This manual page intends to describe the structure and behavior of
the FreeBSD test suite installed in /usr/tests. The contents have
been inherited from the NetBSD manual page.
As a side effect, this also updates the hier(7) manual page to
mention /usr/tests and points at tests(7) for more details.

Tinderbox breakages that are the result of this commit are entirely

GIANT from VFS. This code is particulary broken and fragile and other
in-kernel implementations around, found in other operating systems,
don't really seem clean and solid enough to be imported at all.
If someone wants to reconsider in-kernel NTFS implementation for
inclusion again, a fair effort for completely fixing and cleaning it
up is expected.
In the while NTFS regular users can use FUSE interface and ntfs-3g
port to work with their NTFS partitions.
This is not targeted for MFC.
GIANT from VFS. In addition, disconnect also netncp, which is a base
requirement for NWFS.
In the possibility of a future maintenance of the code and later
readd to the FreeBSD base, maybe we should think about a better location
for netncp. I'm not entirely sure the / top location is actually right,
however I will let network people to comment on that more specifically.
This is not targeted for MFC.
While here increase the suggested sizes for the
partition as "make universe" takes a lot more
space than mentioned.
