accessible:
(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
KDB is present in the kernel.
(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.
(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
above sysctls to enable those features by default. Current kernel
configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.
(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
individual device drivers into centralised KDB code. This has a
number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't. However,
similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.
(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
interface to KDB to allow that to work.
GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

For sb_max_adj we need to add the cast as already used in the sysctl

Note that this is just the defaults. They will allow more memory

Change the mechanism handling a rr_moved directory,
which is Rockridge extension that can exceed the limitation of
a maximum directory depth of ISO 9660.
- Stop reading all entries at a time.
- Connect "CL" entry to "RE" entry dynamically, which "CL" and "RE"
have information to rebuild a full directory tree.
- Tweak some related tests since we use Headsort for re-ordering
entries and it cannot make a steady order when the keies of
the entries are the same.

to the command does not exist in the routing table, then the default route

C runtime services, like printf(). Unfortunately, the multithread-safeness
measures in the libc do not work in rtld environment.
Rip the kernel printf() implementation and use it in the rtld instead of
libc version. This printf does not require any shared global data and thus
is mt-safe. Systematically use rtld_printf() and related functions, remove
the calls to err(3).
Note that stdio is still pulled from libc due to libmap implementaion using
fopen(). This is safe but unoptimal, and can be changed later.

The AR5212 HAL didn't check this field; timers are enabled a different
way.
The AR5416 HAL however did, and since this field was uninitialised, it had
whatever was on the stack at the time. This lead to "unpredictable"
behaviour.
This allows TDMA to work on the AR5416 and later chipsets.

programming secret. The PHY would go into sleep state when it
detects no established link and it will re-establish link when the
cable is plugged in. Previously it failed to re-establish link
when the cable is plugged in such that it required to manually down
and up the interface again to make it work. This came from
incorrectly programmed hibernation parameters. According to
Atheros, each PHY chip requires different configuration for
hibernation and different vendor has different settings for the
same chip.
Disabling hibernation may consume more power but establishing link
looks more important than saving power.
Special thanks to Atheros for giving me instructions that disable
hibernation.

SI_ORDER_MIDDLE when registering a driver. This can be useful for drivers
in a kld that contain multiple new-bus drivers as part of one logical device
driver. A typical case would be to use SI_ORDER_LAST for the "main" driver
to ensure that any other "helper" drivers are registered and available
before the "main" driver attempts to attach.
