Rather than trying to shoehorn flags into the requested superblock
address, create a separate flags parameter to the ffs_sbget()
function in sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c. The ffs_sbget() function is
used both in the kernel and in user-level utilities through export
to the sbget() function in the libufs(3) library (see sbget(3)
for details). The kernel uses ffs_sbget() when mounting UFS
filesystems, in the glabel(8) and gjournal(8) GEOM utilities,
and in the standalone library used when booting the system
from a UFS root filesystem.
The ffs_sbget() function reads the superblock located at the byte
offset specified by its sblockloc parameter. The value UFS_STDSB
may be specified for sblockloc to request that the standard
location for the superblock be read.
The two existing options are now flags:
UFS_NOHASHFAIL will note if the check hash is wrong but will still
return the superblock. This is used by the bootstrap code to
give the system a chance to come up so that fsck can be run to
correct the problem.
UFS_NOMSG indicates that superblock inconsistency error messages
should not be printed. It is used by programs like fsck that
want to print their own error message and programs like glabel(8)
that just want to know if a UFS filesystem exists on a partition.
One additional flag is added:
UFS_NOCSUM causes only the superblock itself to be returned, but does
not read in any auxiliary data structures like the cylinder group
summary information. It is used by clients like glabel(8) that
just want to check for possible filesystem types. Using UFS_NOCSUM
skips the superblock checks for csum data which allows superblocks
that have corrupted csum data to be read and used.
The validate_sblock() function checks that the superblock has not
been corrupted in a way that can crash or hang the system. Unless
the UFS_NOMSG flag is specified, it will print out any errors that
it finds. Prior to this commit, validate_sblock() returned as soon
as it found an inconsistency so would print at most one message.
It now does all its checks so when UFS_NOMSG has not been specified
will print out everything that it finds inconsistent.

By making the disk block parameter used by the libufs(3) sbread(3)
function visible, applications using sbread(3) can set their own
addition options such as using the STDSB_NOHASHFAIL request to
say that they want the superblock read to succeed even when
the superblock checkhash is incorrect.
While here also add an error message when a check-hash failure
is detected.
Make sys/buf.h, sys/pipe.h, sys/fs/devfs/devfs*.h headers usable in
userspace, assuming that the consumer has an idea what it is for.
Unhide more material from sys/mount.h and sys/ufs/ufs/inode.h,
sys/ufs/ufs/ufsmount.h for consumption of userspace tools, with the
same caveat.
Remove unacceptable hack from usr.sbin/makefs which relied on sys/buf.h
being unusable in userspace, where it override struct buf with its own
definition. Instead, provide struct m_buf and struct m_vnode and adapt
code to use local variants.

the read-write is successfully obtained. Before this fix, a failed upgrade
left no usable descriptor with which to work.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
brings in support for an optional intent log which eliminates the need
for background fsck on unclean shutdown.

device name file system is stored on, which means when mount point path is
given, it tries to look into /etc/fstab and find special device
corresponding to the given mount point. This is not perfect, because it
doesn't handle the case when file system is mounted by hand and mount point
is given as an argument.
I found this problem while trying to use snapinfo(8), which passes mount
points to the ufs_disk_fillout(3) function, but I had file system mounted
manually, so snapinfo(8) was exiting with the error below:
ufs_disk_fillout: No such file or directory
I modified libufs(3) to handle those arguments (the order is important):
1. special device with /dev/ prefix
2. special device without /dev/ prefix
3. mount point listed in /etc/fstab, directory exists
4. mount point listed in /etc/fstab, directory doesn't exist
5. mount point of a file system mounted by hand

in that the RO fd was never closed, if the RDRW open succeeded, but
this code is bogus anyway, and it breaks newfs of floppies, at least
for me, due to "Device busy." Anything that wants to fall back is
doing something significantly odd that it should have some more complex
code on its end.

_fillout or _ctor to construct a uufsd.)

the build. It is here to compartmentalise functionality currently duplicated
in many notable programs in the base system. It currently handles block
reads and writes, as well as reading and writing of the filesystem superblock,
and the reading/lookup of inode data. It supports both UFS and UFS2. I
will be maintaining it, and porting programs to use it, however for now, it
is simply being built as part of world.
