c94c54e4df Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.
A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message
and the resulting discussion:

 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel.  Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols)  and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.

57e8fce71c Remove the suggestion to use libmap.conf to deal with the version bump.
People have a tendency to add things to libmap.conf and forget about them
(as we've seen in the mailing lists before).
The compat4x port should be used instead.

d6a8d58875 Add an additional struct inpcb * argument to pfil(9) in order to enable
passing along socket information. This is required to work around a LOR with
the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with
debug.mpsafenet=1. This commit does *not* fix the LOR, but enables us to do
so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock
and will follow in a seperate (later) commit.

This will hopefully be MT5'ed in order to fix the problem for RELENG_5 in
forseeable future.

d6ec7d8c05 Amend the named chroot update instructions by adding a stop and start
of syslogd. The rc.d/syslogd script has the logic already to create
a socket in the chroot dir, it just needs to be restarted.

8f1bb3891d Create a named chroot directory structure in /var/named, and use it
by default when named is enabled. Also, improve our default directory
layout by creating /var/named/etc/namedb/{master|slave} directories,
and use the former for the generated localhost* files.

Rather than using pax to copy device entries, mount devfs in the
chroot directory.

There may be some corner cases where things need to be adjusted,
but overall this structure has been well tested on a production
network, and should serve the needs of the vast majority of users.

UPDATING has instructions on how to do the conversion for those
with existing configurations.

6e03664cc4 Bring back etc/rc.d/ntpdate as requested by scads of people. This isn't a
complete backout as the ntpd_sync_on_start etc/rc.conf tunable is still
present, though the default is now NO (was YES).  Since we're no longer
syncing time at startup by default when ntpd is enabled (as was the case
24hrs ago), remove UPDATING entry pointing out that ntpd(1) -g is slower
than ntpdate(1).

Hopefully ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" can be made the default for -CURRENT
after 5.3 is cut.  At the very least, this should be set to YES when a
user requests to have ntpd enabled via sysinstall(1).

0050f9ec3c Stop using ntpdate(1) in our startup proceedure. Replace ntpdate(1) with
calls to ntpd -g.  ntpd is noticably slower than ntpdate, but is also more
accurate.  This removes the nasty hackery in rc.d/ntpdate that would parse
out ntp servers from /etc/ntp.conf (ntpd knows how to read its own config
file).  By default, ntpd *will* sync with its listed time servers.  To
turn this off so that ntpd does not sync, ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" can be
added to /etc/rc.conf.  If ntpd is not enabled (the default), then time is
not synced on startup.  ntpdate's use has been depreciated by the ntpd
authors for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.

1fc4519b1d Add a new variable, ifi_epoch, to struct if_data. It is set to the last
time the interface counters were zeroed, currently the time if_attach()
was called.  It is indentended to be a valid value for RFC2233's
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime and to make it easier for applications to
verify that the interface they find at a given index is the one that was
there last time they looked.

An if_epoch "compatability" macro has not been created as ifi_epoch has
never been a member of struct ifnet.

c21fd23260 Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel
compile option.  All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over.  This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.

15eb1e8b45 Ports related rc.d cleanups:
o Separate out local (ports) scripts that use rc.d, and the old style
  startup/shutdown scripts and execute them separately. On startup the
  rc.d style scripts are executed first and then the old-style scripts.
  On shutdown, exactly the reverse happens.
o The rc.d ports scripts should now behave more like base system scripts.
  Scripts ending in .sh will be sourced into the current shell, while the
  rest will be executed in a subshell. Previously, all ports scripts,
  regardless of the .sh suffix, were executed in a subshell.
o The parent script, /etc/rc.d/localpkg, passes its command line arguments
  straight to the rc.d ports scripts. This means they should now honor
  faststop and faststart commands as well. Old style scripts, should not see
  any differences. They will still get either a start or stop command.
o The initial phrase shown during shutdown has been changed to use
  "local packages" instead of "daemon processes" to be more inline with the
  phrase used during local package startup. The phrases are also used only for
  old-style ports script startup/shutdown, whereas previously they were being
  used for both rc.d and old-style scripts. This should make startup/shutdown
  output a bit less ugly.
