The first call is used to gauge how much spaces is needed. Just computing
the size instead of generating the output allows to not take the proctree
lock.
For the pathname reported in kinfo_vmentry structures (kve_path), the
sysctl handlers walk the object chain to find the bottom-most VM object.
This permits a COW mapping of a file with dirty pages to report the
pathname of the originally mapped file. Do the same for the object
offset (kve_offset) computing a cumulative offset during the same object
walk so that the reported offset is relative to the reported pathname.
Note that ptrace(PT_VM_ENTRY) already returns a cumulative offset
rather than the raw offset of the VM map entry.
Note also that this does not affect procstat -v output (even structured
output) since that output does not include the kve_offset field.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
This introduces a facility to EVENTHANDLER(9) for explicitly defining a
reference to an event handler list. This is useful since previously all
invokers of events had to do a locked traversal of the global list of
event handler lists in order to find the appropriate event handler list.
By keeping a pointer to the appropriate list an invoker can avoid this
traversal completely. The pointer is initialized with SYSINIT(9) during
the eventhandler stage. Users registering interest in events do not need
to know if the event is backed by such a list, since the list is added
to the global list of lists. As with lists that are not pre-defined it
is safe to register for the events before the list has been created.
This converts the process_* and thread_* events to using the new
facility, as these are events whose locked traversals end up showing up
significantly in ports build workflows (and presumably other workflows
with many short lived threads/procs). It may be advantageous to convert
other events to using the new facility.
The el_flags field is now unused, but leave it be so that this revision
can be MFC'd.

ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned

by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.

Citing jilles:
If we are ever going to do ASLR, the AUXV information tells an attacker
where the stack, executable and RTLD are located, which defeats much of
the point of randomizing the addresses in the first place.
Given that the AUXV information seems to be used by debuggers only anyway,
I think it would be good to move it to p_candebug() now.
The full virtual memory maps (KERN_PROC_VMMAP, procstat -v) are already
under p_candebug().
