The uuidgen command, by means of the uuidgen syscall, generates one
or more Universally Unique Identifiers compatible with OSF/DCE 1.1
version 1 UUIDs.
From the Perforce logs (change 11995):
Round of cleanups:
o Give uuidgen() the correct prototype in syscalls.master
o Define struct uuid according to DCE 1.1 in sys/uuid.h
o Use struct uuid instead of uuid_t. The latter is defined
in sys/uuid.h but should not be used in kernel land.
o Add snprintf_uuid(), printf_uuid() and sbuf_printf_uuid()
to kern_uuid.c for use in the kernel (currently geom_gpt.c).
o Rename the non-standard struct uuid in kern/kern_uuid.c
to struct uuid_private and give it a slightly better definition
for better byte-order handling. See below.
o In sys/gpt.h, fix the broken uuid definitions to match the now
compliant struct uuid definition. See below.
o In usr.bin/uuidgen/uuidgen.c catch up with struct uuid change.
A note about byte-order:
The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.
(UUIDs). On ia64 UUIDs, aka GUIDs, are used by EFI and the firmware
among others. To create GUID Partition Tables (GPTs), we need to
be able to generate UUIDs.
Make kern.ttys export a struct xtty rather than struct tty. Since struct
tty is no longer exposed to userland, remove the dev_t / udev_t hack.

Clear done_head in the HCCA *before* acknoledging the interrupt.
Driver lost some completed transfers under heavy loads.

Update dma memory access API a little.
NetBSD have adopted our way of using the KERNADDR macro. Update
the revision tags to show that we're in sync, and remove the casts
that they did in their adaptation.
"The only hard problem in cryptography is key-management."
All sectors are encrypted with AES in CBC mode using a constant key,
currently compiled in and all zero.
To activate this module, write the magic header on the partition:
echo "<<FreeBSD-GEOM-AES>>" | dd conv=sync of=/dev/md98
The encrypted device will be one sector shorter and have ".aes"
appended to its name.

and vm_map_delete(). Assert GIANT_REQUIRED in vm_map_delete()
only if operating on the kernel_object or the kmem_object.
o Remove GIANT_REQUIRED from vm_map_remove().
o Remove the acquisition and release of Giant from munmap().
remove the need for a contiguous array with pointers to all the sectors.
Try to make failure to malloc(9) memory a non-hang situation.
Eventually this will allow us to test the 64bit cleanness of the disk
I/O patch, but more work is outstanding here and elsewhere.

functions return an int instead of void bringing us into closer
alignment with NetBSD.

instead of %llx when %j is available).
Changed nearby output formats from %x to %#x so that it is obvious that the
numbers are in hex (vinum mostly uses 0x%x elsewhere).
Didn't fix nearby format printf errors (long lines).
Printing daddr_t's using %d format was always an error, but gcc's
warning about it was ignored for supported 64-bit arches and not printed
for supported 32-bit arches. Hundreds if not thousands thousands of
previously "fixed" daddr_t printings are now broken on 32-bit machines
by casting daddr_t's to longs. daddr_t's should be printed using %jd
format, but this fix uses %lld since %j is not implemented in the
kernel yet.
Fixed some nearby format printf errors (style bugs).
