When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.

'last' is the sector number of the last usable sector. Sector
numbers start with 0. As such, 'last' is always 1 less than
the count of sectors and aligning 'last' down as-is means that
the number of free sectors is pessimized by 'alignment - 1' if
the number of usable sectors was already a multiple of the
alignment. Consequently, gpart(8) failed to create a partition
when the alignment and size were such that it would extend to
the end of the disk.
In r231994, an attempt was made to fix crypt(3) failure returns (NULL).
However, instead of treating crypt(3) failure as authentication failure,
some of the changes treated crypt(3) failure as authentication success.
This is wrong.
r324225 fixed this for ppp, which also inspired this review. The other
changes in the 231994 revision were audited for correctness and look ok.

Existing scripts and associated config such as rc.initdiskless, rc.d/var,
and others, use mdmfs to create memory filesystems. That program accepts a
size argument which allows SI suffixes and treats an unsuffixed number as a
count of 512 byte sectors. That makes it difficult to convert existing
scripts to use tmpfs instead of mdmfs, because tmpfs treats unsuffixed
numbers as a count of bytes. The script logic to deal with existing user
config that might include suffixed and unsuffixed numbers is... unpleasant.
Also, there is no g'tee that tmpfs will be available. It is sometimes
configured out of small-resource embedded systems to save memory and flash
storage space.
These changes enhance mdmfs(8) so that it accepts two new values for the
'md-device' arg: 'tmpfs' and 'auto'. With tmpfs, the program always uses
tmpfs(5) (and fails if it's not available). With 'auto' the program prefers
tmpfs, but falls back to using md(4) if tmpfs isn't available. It also
handles the -s <size> argument so that the mdconfig interpetation of
unsuffixed numbers applies when tmpfs is used as well, so that existing user
config keeps working after a switch to tmpfs.
A new rc setting, mfs_type, is added to etc/defaults/rc.conf to let users
force the use of tmpfs or md; the default value is "auto".

check hash to cylinder groups. If a check hash fails when a cylinder
group is read, no further allocations are attempted in that cylinder
group until it has been fixed by fsck. This avoids a class of
filesystem panics related to corrupted cylinder group maps. The
hash is done using crc32c.
Check hases are added only to UFS2 and not to UFS1 as UFS1 is primarily
used in embedded systems with small memories and low-powered processors
which need as light-weight a filesystem as possible.
Specifics of the changes:
sys/sys/buf.h:
Add BX_FSPRIV to reserve a set of eight b_xflags that may be used
by individual filesystems for their own purpose. Their specific
definitions are found in the header files for each filesystem
that uses them. Also add fields to struct buf as noted below.
sys/kern/vfs_bio.c:
It is only necessary to compute a check hash for a cylinder
group when it is actually read from disk. When calling bread,
you do not know whether the buffer was found in the cache or
read. So a new flag (GB_CKHASH) and a pointer to a function to
perform the hash has been added to breadn_flags to say that the
function should be called to calculate a hash if the data has
been read. The check hash is placed in b_ckhash and the B_CKHASH
flag is set to indicate that a read was done and a check hash
calculated. Though a rather elaborate mechanism, it should
also work for check hashing other metadata in the future. A
kernel internal API change was to change breada into a static
fucntion and add flags and a function pointer to a check-hash
function.
sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h:
Add flags for types of check hashes; stored in a new word in the
superblock. Define corresponding BX_ flags for the different types
of check hashes. Add a check hash word in the cylinder group.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_alloc.c:
In ffs_getcg do the dance with breadn_flags to get a check hash and
if one is provided, check it.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c:
Copy across the BX_FFSTYPES flags in background writes.
Update the check hash when writing out buffers that need them.
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c:
Recompute check hash when updating snapshot cylinder groups.
sys/libkern/crc32.c:
lib/libufs/Makefile:
lib/libufs/libufs.h:
lib/libufs/cgroup.c:
Include libkern/crc32.c in libufs and use it to compute check
hashes when updating cylinder groups.
Four utilities are affected:
sbin/newfs/mkfs.c:
Add the check hashes when building the cylinder groups.
sbin/fsck_ffs/fsck.h:
sbin/fsck_ffs/fsutil.c:
Verify and update check hashes when checking and writing cylinder groups.
sbin/fsck_ffs/pass5.c:
Offer to add check hashes to existing filesystems.
Precompute check hashes when rebuilding cylinder group
(although this will be done when it is written in fsutil.c
it is necessary to do it early before comparing with the old
cylinder group)
sbin/dumpfs/dumpfs.c
Print out the new check hash flag(s)
sbin/fsdb/Makefile:
Needs to add libufs now used by pass5.c imported from fsck_ffs.

the allocated resources (i.e. swap and memory-backed md(4)'s) need
to be purged. It is extremely useful to have ability to attach
arbitrary labels to each of the virtual disks so that they can
be identified and GC'ed if neecessary.

The intent is to skip expensive opaque sysctls like tcp_pcblist unless
they are explicitly requested. Sysctl nodes like this don't show up in
sysctl -a, but they do generate output that winds up being dropped,
unless the user specifically requested binary/hex output or opaques.
This reduces the runtime of sysctl in many circumstances on a loaded
system. It also reduces the likelihood that simply gathering
diagnostics on a sick machine (stuck lock, etc) via sysctl -a might
push it over the edge into a total lockup.

The new "-N" option does a forced dismount of an NFS mount point, but avoids
doing any checking of the mounted-on path, so that it will not get hung
when a vnode lock is held by another hung process on the mounted-on vnode.
The most common case of this is a "umount" with the "-f" option.
Other than avoiding checking the mounted-on path, it performs the same
forced dismount as a successful "umount -f" would do.

The tests consist of a collection of input files (pf*.in) and
corresponding output files (pf*.ok). We run pfctl -nv on the input
files and check that the output matches the output files. If any
discrepancy is discovered during future development in the source

- Delete lines with consisting purely of blank space.
- Add space between `return` and `(`, per style(9).
Special care was taken to not blindly replace 8 single column spaces
with tabs; doing so could break tools that do strict string comparisons
with camcontrol output.
This basically makes "mount -uw /" work when the filesystem
mounted on / is NFS, but the one configured in fstab(5) is UFS,
which can happen when you forget to modify fstab.
Note that the whole special case ("else if (argv[0][0] == '/'")

After the addition of SUBDIR.yes, uniquifying/ordering the SUBDIRs doesn't
make a whole lot of sense, and it's in effect a half measure.
Ordering SUBDIR (after adding SUBDIR.yes to it) in bsd.subdir.mk is a
separate change that warrants more discussion/testing, because while
the SUBDIR_PARALLEL work largely fixed dependency ordering for SUBDIRs,
there might be downstream FreeBSD consumers that rely on the SUBDIR
