- Allow setting format, resolution and accuracy of BPF time stamps per

set various resolutions and accuracies with ioctl(2) BIOCSTSTAMP command.
Similarly, we can get the current resolution and accuracy with BIOCGTSTAMP
command. Document all supported options in bpf(4) and their uses.
- Introduce new time stamp 'struct bpf_ts' and header 'struct bpf_xhdr'.
The new time stamp has both 64-bit second and fractional parts. bpf_xhdr
has this time stamp instead of 'struct timeval' for bh_tstamp. The new
structures let us use bh_tstamp of same size on both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms without adding additional shims for 32-bit binaries. On 64-bit
platforms, size of BPF header does not change compared to bpf_hdr as its
members are already all 64-bit long. On 32-bit platforms, the size may
increase by 8 bytes. For backward compatibility, struct bpf_hdr with
struct timeval is still the default header unless new time stamp format is
explicitly requested. However, the behaviour may change in the future and
all relevant code is wrapped around "#ifdef BURN_BRIDGES" for now.
- Add experimental support for tagging mbufs with time stamps from a lower

and ipv6_ifconfig_<interface> options have already been deprecated,
these changes do not alter that.
With these changes any value set for ipv6_enable will emit a
warning. In order to avoid a POLA violation for the deprecation
of the option ipv6_enable=NO will still disable configuration
for all interfaces other than lo0. ipv6_enable=YES will not have
any effect, but will emit an additional warning. Support and
warnings for this option will be removed in FreeBSD 10.x.
Consistent with the current code, in order for IPv6 to be configured
on an interface (other than lo0) an ifconfig_<interface>_ipv6
option will have to be added to /etc/rc.conf[.local].
1. Clean up and minor optimizations for the following functions:
ifconfig_up (the ipv6 elements)
ipv6if
ipv6_autoconfif
get_if_var
_ifconfig_getargs
The cleanups generally were to move the "easy" tests earlier in the
functions, and consolidate duplicate code.
2. Stop overloading ipv6_prefer with the ability to disable IPv6
configuration.
3. Remove noafif() which was only ever called from ipv6_autoconfif.
Instead, simplify and integrate the tests into that function, and
convert the test to use is_wired_interface() instead of listing
wireless interfaces explicitly.
4. Integrate backwards compatibility for ipv6_ifconfig_<interface>
into _ifconfig_getargs. This dramatically simplifies the code in
all of the callers, and avoids a lot of other code duplication.
5. In rc.d/netoptions, add code for an ipv6_privacy option to use
RFC 4193 style pseudo-random addresses (this is what windows does
by default, FYI).
6. Add support for the [NO]RTADV options in ifconfig_getargs() and
ipv6_autoconfif(). In the latter, include support for the explicit
addition of [-]accept_rtadv in ifconfig_<interface>_ipv6 as is done
in the current code.
7. In rc.d/netif add a warning if $ipv6_enable is set, and remove
the set_rcvar_obsolete for it. Also remove the latter from
rc.d/ip6addrctl.
8. In /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
Add an example for RTADV configuration.
Set ipv6_network_interfaces to AUTO.
Switch ipv6_prefer to YES. If ipv6_enable is not set this will have
no effect.
Add a default for ipv6_privacy (NO).
9. Document all of this in rc.conf.5.

- do not add -g to the linker flags, it's a noop there anyway

is a way to add it only when WITH_CTF is used
Note: ctfconvert / ctfmerge lines will not appear in the build output,
to protect the innocent (those which do not build with WITH_CTF would
see the shell-test and may think WITH_CTF is used).

At least in RELENG_7 this fixes some start problems for some programs

input (interactivity) from the jail-host.
Revert the current behavior of starting jails in the background and
make it optional only for the start of jails (jail_parallell_start=YES
in rc.conf):
- The stop can not be done in the background, the system needs to wait
until everything is stopped correctly before it can reboot or power
down.
- The start should not be done in parallel by default, this not only
breaks POLA for people comming from RELENG_x, it may also break a

HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
