several new kerberos related libraries and applications to FreeBSD:
o kgetcred(1) allows one to manually get a ticket for a particular service.
o kf(1) securily forwards ticket to another host through an authenticated
and encrypted stream.
o kcc(1) is an umbrella program around klist(1), kswitch(1), kgetcred(1)
and other user kerberos operations. klist and kswitch are just symlinks
to kcc(1) now.
o kswitch(1) allows you to easily switch between kerberos credentials if
you're running KCM.
o hxtool(1) is a certificate management tool to use with PKINIT.
o string2key(1) maps a password into key.
o kdigest(8) is a userland tool to access the KDC's digest interface.
o kimpersonate(8) creates a "fake" ticket for a service.
We also now install manpages for some lirbaries that were not installed
before, libheimntlm and libhx509.
- The new HEIMDAL version no longer supports Kerberos 4. All users are
recommended to switch to Kerberos 5.
- Weak ciphers are now disabled by default. To enable DES support (used
by telnet(8)), use "allow_weak_crypto" option in krb5.conf.
- libtelnet, pam_ksu and pam_krb5 are now compiled with error on warnings
disabled due to the function they use (krb5_get_err_text(3)) being
deprecated. I plan to work on this next.
- Heimdal's KDC now require sqlite to operate. We use the bundled version
and install it as libheimsqlite. If some other FreeBSD components will
require it in the future we can rename it to libbsdsqlite and use for these
components as well.
- This is not a latest Heimdal version, the new one was released while I was
working on the update. I will update it to 1.5.2 soon, as it fixes some
important bugs and security issues.

1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;
2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);
3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
to help detect mismatches.
4. update the manual page for the two changes above;
5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap
KERNEL:
1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
to the 'struct netmap_adapter';
2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes
3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;
4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
in the ixgbe driver.
Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.

Correct typos and improve some details forwarding.sh already

This allows all of the athstats statistics to work again.
Specifics:
* The previous code used chars < 0x80 as printable, and chars >= 0x80
as "statistics"
* .. which meant any statistic above 127 would wrap around to 0;
* .. so once I added the 802.11n TX/RX statistics to athstats, the tail
end of the statistics list weren't accessible.
This patch:
* adds a define which represents the magic character, rather than a hard
coded one
* the statistic in question is little endian encoded after the magic
character.
Notes:
* statfoo is useful enough to possibly warrant turning into a library API.

- rearrange the memory allocation code so it will be easier

The new implementation (not committed yet) uses multiple
smaller chunks which are easier to fit in a fragmented address

If the sentence starts with a multiple of eight spaces, the sentence

This small utility can be used to `sanitize' the whitespace in source

- Remove trailing whitespace.
- Merge spaces preceeding tabs into the tabs.

This uses the existing crunchgen infrastructure to build
a series of tools designed to replace the base and networking
tools on an embedded system.
It reuses 'bsd.crunchgen.mk' to drive the actual file
creation. The rescue build system also uses this.
Unlike busybox, it doesn't include its own source - instead,
it just builds from the sources in /usr/src/ and leverages
the existing BSD framework.
Thie is still quite messy and could do with a whole lot of
cleaning up. However it is proving to be very useful with
my current build framework, allowing me to build binary root

A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client:
even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0),
the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions,
because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two.
2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers
There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap
support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common
code structure.
3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very
small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments:
in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of
the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h ,
following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making
changes less intrusive.
(Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had
comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so
i assume he is fine with it).
Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later.
"ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the
external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific
patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should
serve as a reference for other device drivers.

The "domain-search" option (option 119) allows a DHCP server to publish

For instance, if the domain-search option says:

and one wants to resolve "foobar", the resolver will try:
1. "foobar.example.org"
2. "foobar.example.com"
The file /etc/resolv.conf is updated with a "search" directive if the
DHCP server provides "domain-search".

We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains

the policy used for all of userspace code.

introduce zfsboottest.sh script that will verify if it will be possible to boot
from the given pool.
# zfsboottest.sh system
Where "system" is pool name of the pool we want to boot from.
What is being verified by the script:
- Does the pool exist?
- Does it have bootfs property configured?
- Is mountpoint property of the boot dataset set to 'legacy'?
Dataset configured in bootfs property has to be mounted to perform more
checks:
- Does the /boot directory in boot dataset exist?
- Is this dataset configured as root file system in /etc/fstab or set
in vfs.root.mountfrom variable in /boot/loader.conf?
By using zfsboottest tool the script will read all the files in /boot
directory using ZFS boot code and calculate their checksums.
Then, it will walk /boot directory using find(1) though regular file sytem
and also read all the files in /boot directory and calculate their checksums.
If any of the files cannot be looked up, read or checksum is invalid it will
be reported and booting off of this pool is probably not possible.
Some additional checks may be interesting as well. For example if the disks
contain proper pmbr and gptzfsboot code or if all expected files in /boot/
are present.
When upgrading FreeBSD, one should snapshot datasets that contain operating
system, upgrade (install new world and kernel) and use zfsboottest.sh to verify
if it will be possible to boot from new configuration. If all is good one
should upgrade boot blocks, by eg.:
# gpart -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada1
If something is wrong, one should rollback datasets and report the problems.

Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
