This adds the getenv_bool() function, to parse a boolean value from a
kernel environment variable or tunable. This works for traditional
boolean values like "0" and "1", and also "true" and "false"
(case-insensitive). These semantics do not yet apply to sysctls declared
using SYSCTL_BOOL with CTLFLAG_TUN (they still only parse 1 and 0).
Also added are two wrapper functions, getenv_is_true() and
getenv_is_false(). These are slightly simpler for callers wishing to
perform a single check of a configuration variable.

bootonce feature is temporary, one time boot, activated by
"bectl activate -t BE", "bectl activate -T BE" will reset the bootonce flag.
By default, the bootonce setting is reset on attempt to boot and the next
boot will use previously active BE.
By setting zfs_bootonce_activate="YES" in rc.conf, the bootonce BE will
be set permanently active.
bootonce dataset name is recorded in boot pool labels, bootenv area.
in case of nextboot, the nextboot_enable boolean variable is recorded in
freebsd:nvstore nvlist, also stored in boot pool label bootenv area.
On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable
is "YES", and will set nextboot_enable to "NO", preventing /boot/nextboot.conf
processing on next boot.
bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.
To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk;
if loader.efi is stored on ESP, then ESP needs to be updated and
for BIOS boot, stage2 (zfsboot or gptzfsboot) needs to be updated
(gpart or other tools).
At this time, only lua loader is updated.

One problem with the bus_space_read_N() and bus_space_write_N() family of
functions is that they provide no protection against exceptions which can
occur when no physical hardware or device responds to the read or write
cycles. In such a situation, the system typically would panic due to a
kernel-mode bus error. The bus_space_peek_N() and bus_space_poke_N() family
of functions provide a mechanism to handle these exceptions gracefully
without the risk of crashing the system.
Typical example is access to PCI(e) configuration space in bus enumeration
function on badly implemented PCI(e) root complexes (RK3399 or Neoverse
N1 N1SDP and/or access to PCI(e) register when device is in deep sleep state.
This commit adds a real implementation for arm64 only. The remaining
architectures have bus_space_peek()/bus_space_poke() emulated by using
bus_space_read()/bus_space_write() (without exception handling).

The current default is provided in various Makefile.inc in some top-level

of the build a little deeper (e.g. libcasper).
Provide a default in src.sys.mk and set WARNS to it in bsd.sys.mk if that
variable is defined. This lets us relatively cleanly provide a default WARNS
no matter where you're building in the src tree without breaking things
outside of the tree.

Hardware assistance includes checksumming (tx and rx), TSO, and RSS on
the inner traffic in a VXLAN tunnel.
Relnotes: Yes
Sponsored by: Chelsio Communications
This lets a VXLAN pseudo-interface take advantage of hardware checksumming (tx
and rx), TSO, and RSS if the NIC is capable of performing these operations on
inner VXLAN traffic.
A VXLAN interface inherits the capabilities of its vxlandev interface if one is
specified or of the interface that hosts the vxlanlocal address. If other
interfaces will carry traffic for that VXLAN then they must have the same
hardware capabilities.
On transmit, if_vxlan verifies that the outbound interface has the required
capabilities and then translates the CSUM_ flags to their inner equivalents.
This tells the hardware ifnet that it needs to operate on the inner frame and
not the outer VXLAN headers.
An event is generated when a VXLAN ifnet starts. This allows hardware drivers to
configure their devices to expect VXLAN traffic on the specified incoming port.
On receive, the hardware does RSS and checksum verification on the inner frame.
if_vxlan now does a direct netisr dispatch to take full advantage of RSS. It is
not very clear why it didn't do this already.
Future work:
Rx: it should be possible to avoid the first trip up the protocol stack to get
the frame to if_vxlan just so it can decapsulate and requeue for a second trip
up the stack. The hardware NIC driver could directly call an if_vxlan receive
routine for VXLAN traffic instead.
Rx: LRO. depends on what happens with the previous item. There will have to to
be a mechanism to indicate that it's time for if_vxlan to flush its LRO state.

Use of ranlib or lorder is no longer necessary with current linkers
(probably anything newer than ~1990) and ar's ability to create an object
index and symbol table in the archive.
Currently the build system uses lorder+tsort to sort the .o files in
dependency order so that a single-pass linker can use them. However,
we can use the -s flag to ar to add an index to the .a file which makes
lorder unnecessary.
Running ar -s is equivalent to running ranlib afterwards, so we can also
skip the ranlib invocation.
Similarly, we don't have to pass the .o files for shared libraries in
dependency order since both ld.bfd and ld.lld will correctly resolve
references between the .o files.
This removes many fork()+execve calls for each library so should speed up
builds a bit. Additionally lorder.sh uses a regular expression that is not
supported by the macOS libc or glibc and results in many warnings when
cross-building (see D25989).
There is one functional change: lorder.sh removed duplicated .o files
from the linker command line which now no longer happens. I fixed the duplicates
in the base system in r364649. I also checked the ports tree for uses of
bsd.lib.mk and found one duplicate source file which I fixed in r548168.
Most ports use CMake/autotools rather than bsd.lib.mk but if this breaks any
ports that I missed in my search please let me know.
Avoiding the shell script actually speeds up the linking step noticeably: I
measured how long it takes to rebuild the .a and .so files for lib/libc using a
basic benchmark: `rm $LIBC_OBJDIR/*.so* $LIBC_OBJDIR/*.a* && /usr/bin/time make -DWITHOUT_TESTS -s > /dev/null`
Without this change ~4.5 seconds and afterwards ~3.1 seconds.
Looking at truss -cf output we can see that the number fork() system
calls goes down from 27 to 12 (and the speedup while tracing is more
noticeable: 81 seconds -> 65 seconds).
See also https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/tsort-background.html
for some more background:
This whole procedure has been obsolete since about 1980, because Unix
archives now contain a symbol table (traditionally built by ranlib, now
generally built by ar itself), and the Unix linker uses the symbol table
to effectively make multiple passes over an archive file.
Or alternatively https://www.unix.com/man-page/osf1/1/lorder/:
The lorder command is essentially obsolete. Use the following command in
its place: % ar -ts file.a

In D12421, the ability to compile stand/ in little-endian was added, with the
intention to extend loader.kboot to run in Petitboot.
However, no further work was done, as the kernel then gained self-execution
capabilities as Petitboot was taught to load FreeBSD kernels directly.
The FreeBSD installer on powerpc64 (on POWER8 and POWER9) uses
/boot/etc/kboot.conf instead of loader.
As this option does nothing but cause stand/ to be miscompiled and actively
causes confusion, remove it.
(I have a functioning petitboot loader in my local tree, however, it turned
out to be quite inconvient to use due to the current petitboot plugin design
so I put it on hold.)

commands like "pw groupadd" can fail. The sequence of events looks like:
1. A command like pkg(8) looks up the group, and finds it absent.
2. pkg invokes pw(8) to add the group
3. pkg queries the group, but nscd says it doesn't exist, since it has a
negative cache entry for that group.

gathering in the implementation of malloc(3).
It seems more consistent to turn this into a regular src.conf(5) option,
e.g. WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION / WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION. This can then
be toggled similar to any other source build option, and turned on or
