The previous 12h AM/PM format was perplexing as it didn't follow the
locale of the user and was a minor annoyance to FreeBSD users coming
from Linux. Additionally, the man page was incorrect about the strftime
format.
There are three time formats that may be displayed in the STARTED
column depending on the age of the process. Below is an example.
For a process started at 14:30 on Monday 16 March 2015, the following
formats may be used:
14:30 for process < 24h old (24h Timestamp)
Mon14 for process > 24h, < 1 week old (Weekday Hour)
16Mar15 for process > 1 week old (Day Month Year)

feature is to quisce the system before suspend.
Stop is implemented by reusing the thread_single(9) with the special
mode SINGLE_ALLPROC. SINGLE_ALLPROC differs from the existing
single-threading modes by allowing (requiring) caller to operate on
other process. Interruptible sleeps for !TDF_SBDRY threads are
suspended like SIGSTOP does it, instead of aborting the sleep, like
SINGLE_NO_EXIT, to avoid spurious EINTRs on resume.
Provide debugging sysctl debug.stop_all_proc, which causes total stop
and suspends syncer, while waiting for variable reset for resume. It
is used for debugging; should be removed after the real use of the
interface is added.

Add a separate field which exports tracer pid and add a new keyword
("tracer") for ps to display it.

One problem is inferior(9) looping due to the process tree becoming a
graph instead of tree if the parent is traced by child. Another issue
is due to the use of p_oppid to restore the original parent/child
relationship, because real parent could already exited and its pid
reused (noted by mjg).
Add the function proc_realparent(9), which calculates the parent for
given process. It uses the flag P_TREE_FIRST_ORPHAN to detect the head
element of the p_orphan list and than stepping back to its container
to find the parent process. If the parent has already exited, the
init(8) is returned.
Move the P_ORPHAN and the new helper flag from the p_flag* to new
p_treeflag field of struct proc, which is protected by proctree lock
instead of proc lock, since the orphans relationship is managed under
the proctree_lock already.
The remaining uses of p_oppid in ptrace(PT_DETACH) and process
reapping are replaced by proc_realparent(9).

As of FreeBSD 6, devices can only be opened through devfs. These device
nodes don't have major and minor numbers anymore. The st_rdev field in
struct stat is simply based a copy of st_ino.
Simply display device numbers as hexadecimal, using "%#jx". This is
allowed by POSIX, since it explicitly states things like the following
(example taken from ls(1)):
"If the file is a character special or block special file, the
size of the file may be replaced with implementation-defined
information associated with the device in question."
This makes the output of these commands more compact. For example, ls(1)
now uses approximately four columns less. While there, simplify the
column length calculation from ls(1) by calling snprintf() with a NULL
buffer.
Don't be afraid; if needed one can still obtain individual major/minor
numbers using stat(1).
