It is nice to have, however, the location of this information means that
it will naturally be missed by developers adding or removing directories
to the layout, so it trends out-of-date and it is out-of-date.
The target audience for hier(7) is users and administrators. It is not
expected to be a place that programmers should go to learn about the
purposes of the different C headers provided by FreeBSD.
Program authors needing FreeBSD-specific interfaces or libraries
(#include <sys/queue.h>, for instance) will either be following a more
detailed man page, or consulting the header contents directly. Folks
targeting standardized headers (#include <sys/time.h>) will not need
hier(7) to tell them where those headers are under /usr/include.
In other words, this is more detail than necessary for this document.
I'd go as far as to say that many of the existing entries in this list
do little more than parrot the name of the directory.
With all this in mind, let's drop the maintenance burden.

Currently, sysctls which enable KDB in some way are flagged with
CTLFLAG_SECURE, meaning that you can't modify them if securelevel > 0.
This is so that KDB cannot be used to lower a running system's
securelevel, see commit 3d7618d8bf. However, the newer mac_ddb(4)
restricts DDB operations which could be abused to lower securelevel
while retaining some ability to gather useful debugging information.
To enable the use of KDB (specifically, DDB) on systems with a raised
securelevel, change the KDB sysctl policy: rather than relying on
CTLFLAG_SECURE, add a check of the current securelevel to kdb_trap().
If the securelevel is raised, only pass control to the backend if MAC
specifically grants access; otherwise simply check to see if mac_ddb
vetoes the request, as before.
Add a new secure sysctl, debug.kdb.enter_securelevel, to override this
behaviour. That is, the sysctl lets one enter a KDB backend even with a
raised securelevel, so long as it is set before the securelevel is
raised.

Document that the growfs(7) script works only if the root file system
is in the last partition and free space immediately follows it.
Don't imply that /usr can be a separate partition, as that would
likely mean that root is not last.

Add documentation of the growfs script's new ability to add a swap
partition, expanding on the previous functionality as well. Add the
growfs_fstab helper script, which runs separately. Add a description
of how to expand a file system a second time if swap had been added.
While here, fix a typo.

It poses a maintenance burden, since much of the information is
duplicated in the src tree's README.md file. Readers who are interested
enough in learning about the structure of the src tree can download it,
or browse the README online. Have hier(7) just point them there instead.

The change extends vmimage.subr to handle a new parameter, VMFS, which
should be equal to either "ufs" or "zfs". When it is set to ZFS, we use
makefs to create a bootable pool populated using the same dataset layout
as bsdinstall and "poudriere image" use. The pool can be grown using
the growfs rc.d script, just as in UFS images.
This will make it easy to provide VM and cloud images with ZFS as the
root filesystem. So far I did not do extensive testing of cloud images;
I merely verified that creation of ZFS-based AWS AMIs works and allows
me to create amd64 and arm64 EC2 instances with ZFS as the root
filesystem.

FreeBSD used to support both armv4 and armv5 binaries. All of that
support has been removed from the tree. We have only ever supported
armv6 and armv7 binaries in that mode. Note armv4 here too for
completeness since it flowed better than 'armv5 and earlier' and means
the same thing (FreeBSD never ran on an armv3 or earlier CPU).

Define a place for sysroot trees to live. This assumes they come from
the base in some way, though there's not yet a build/install/etc sysroot
target. Include the FreeBSD version so multiple verrsions can be
installed on one system (it also includes the whole uname version, so
one could, in theory, install variants like CheriBSD or whatever on the
same system as FreeBSD). Use MACHINE.MACHINE_ARCH to be consistent with
the release practices, /usr/obj and other naming conventions.
