The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs kernel functionality which
is exposed through /dev/cuse . In order to function the CUSE kernel
code must either be enabled in the kernel configuration file or loaded
separately as a module. Currently none of the committed items are
connected to the default builds, except for installing the needed
header files. The CUSE code will be connected to the default world and
kernel builds in a follow-up commit.
The CUSE module was written by Hans Petter Selasky, somewhat inspired
by similar functionality found in FUSE. The CUSE library can be used
for many purposes. Currently CUSE is used when running Linux kernel
drivers in user-space, which need to create a character device node to
communicate with its applications. CUSE has full support for almost
all devfs functionality found in the kernel:
- kevents
- read
- write
- ioctl
- poll
- open
- close
- mmap
- private per file handle data

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

fall back to the old logic of using dirname $0.
Using dirname $0 does not yield the path to the script if it was
sourced in from another script in another directory; you end up with
the parent script's path. That was causing newvers.sh to look one
level below the FreeBSD src/ directory when building osreldate.h and it
may find something like a git or svn repo there that has nothing to do

Using a separate script fixes a variety of problems, including establishing
the correct dependencies in the makefiles. It also eliminates a problem
with the way newvers.sh uses `realpath $0`, because $0 expands differently
within a script sourced into a rule in a makefile depending on the version
of make and of /bin/sh being used. The latter can cause build breakage in a
cross-build environment, and can also make it difficult to compile 10.0 on
older pre-10.0 systems.

This splits that functionality and enables the parts that shouldn't

WITH_ICONV (now on by default) - adds iconv.h, iconv_open(3) etc.
WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT (off by default) adds the libiconv_open etc API, linker

to 'pkg delete -f libiconv' on a running system and reasonably expect it
to work.
I have tortured many machines over the last few days to try and reduce
the possibilities of foot-shooting as much as I can. I've successfully
recompiled to enable and disable the libiconv_compat modes, ports that use
libiconv alongside system iconv etc. If you don't enable the
WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT switch, they don't share symbol space.
This is an extension of behavior on other system. iconv(3) is a standard
libc interface and libiconv port expects to be able to run alongside it on
systems that have it.

Add new RAID GEOM class, that is going to replace ataraid(4) in supporting
various BIOS-based software RAIDs. Unlike ataraid(4) this implementation
does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.
Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.
Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.
For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.

This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:
- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.

- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the

Erwin ran an exp-run with libcompat and <regexp.h> removed. It turns out
the regexp library is almost entirely unused. In fact, it looks like it
is sometimes used by accident. Because these function names clash with
libc's <regex.h>, some application use both <regex.h> and libcompat,
which means they link against the wrong regex library.
This commit removes the regexp library and reimplements re_comp() and
re_exec() using <regex.h>. It seems the grammar of the regular
expressions accepted by these functions is similar to POSIX EREs.
After this commit, 1 low-profile port will be broken, but the maintainer
already has a patch for it sitting in his mailbox.
Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk
I/O instead of just the device it's configured for. Using it for removable
media is therefore not a good idea.

The utmpx interface is the standardized interface of the user accounting
database. The standard only defines a subset of the functions that were
present in System V-like systems.
I'd like to highlight some of the traits my implementation has:
- The standard allows the on-disk format to be different than the
in-memory representation (struct utmpx). Most operating systems don't
do this, but we do. This allows us to keep our ABI more stable, while
giving us the opportunity to modify the on-disk format. It also allows
us to use a common file format across different architectures (i.e.
byte ordering).
- Our implementation of pututxline() also updates wtmp and lastlog (now
called utx.log and utx.lastlogin). This means the databases are more
likely to be in sync.
- Care must be taken that our implementation discard any fields that are
not applicable. For example, our DEAD_PROCESS records do not hold a
TTY name. Just a time stamp, a record identifier and a process
identifier. It also guarantees that strings (ut_host, ut_line and
ut_user) are null terminated. ut_id is obviously not null terminated,
because it's not a string.
- The API and its behaviour should be conformant to POSIX, but there may
be things that slightly deviate from the standard. This implementation
uses separate file descriptors when writing to the log files. It also
doesn't use getutxid() to search for a field to overwrite. It uses an
allocation strategy similar to getutxid(), but prevents DEAD_PROCESS
records from accumulating.
Make sure libulog doesn't overwrite the manpages shipped with our C
library. Also keep the symbol list in Symbol.map sorted.
I'll bump __FreeBSD_version later this evening. I first want to convert
everything to <utmpx.h> and get rid of <utmp.h>.
now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

The <sys/termios.h> header file is hardlinked to <termios.h>. It
contains both the structures and the flag definitions, but also the C
library interface that's implemented by the C library.
This header file has the typical problem of including too many random
things and being badly ordered. Instead of trying to fix this, decompose
it into two header files:
- <sys/_termios.h>, which contains struct termios and the flags.
- <termios.h>, which includes <sys/_termios.h> and contains the C
library interface.
This means userspace has to include <termios.h> for struct termios,
while kernelspace code has to include <sys/tty.h>. Also add a
<sys/termios.h>, which prints a warning message before including
<termios.h>. I am aware that there are some applications that use this
header file as well.
