The cookies argument is only used by the NFS server. NFSv2 defines the
cookie as 32 bits on the wire, but NFSv3 increased it to 64 bits. Our
VOP_READDIR, however, has always defined it as u_long, which is 32 bits
on some architectures. Change it to 64 bits on all architectures. This
doesn't matter for any in-tree file systems, but it matters for some
FUSE file systems that use 64-bit directory cookies.

With the mac_priority(4) realtime policy active, users and processes in
the realtime group may promote existing threads and processes to
realtime scheduling priority. Extend the privileges granted to
PRIV_SCHED_SETPOLICY which allows explicit creation of new realtime
threads.
One use case of this is when the pthread scheduling policy is set to
SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO via pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(...) before
calling pthread_create(...). I ran into this when testing audio software
with realtime threads, particularly audio/ardour6.

Add an idletime user group that allows non-root users to run processes
with idle scheduling priority. Privileges are granted by a MAC policy in

PRIV_SCHED_IDPRIO was added to sys/priv.h (kernel module ABI change).

Add two underscore characters "__" to names of BIT_* and BITSET_*
macros to move them to the implementation name space and to prevent
a name space pollution due to BIT_* macros in 3rd party programs with
conflicting parameter signatures.
These prefixed macro names are used in kernel header files to define
macros in e.g. sched.h, sys/cpuset.h and sys/domainset.h.
If C programs are built with either -D_KERNEL (automatically passed
when building a kernel or kernel modules) or -D_WANT_FREENBSD_BITSET
(or this macros is defined in the source code before including the
bitset macros), then all macros are made visible with their previous
names, too. E.g., both __BIT_SET() and BIT_SET() are visible with
either of _KERNEL or _WANT_FREEBSD_BITSET defined.
The main reason for this change is that some 3rd party sources
including sched.h have been found to contain conflicting BIT_*
macros.
As a work-around, parts of shed.h have been made conditional and
depend on _WITH_CPU_SET_T being set when sched.h is included.
Ports that expect the full functionality provided by sched.h need
to be built with -D_WITH_CPU_SET_T. But this leads to conflicts if
BIT_* macros are defined in that program, too.
This patch set makes all of sched.h visible again without this
parameter being passed and without any name space pollution due
to BIT_* macros becoming visible when sched.h is included.
This patch set will be backported to the STABLE branches, but ports
will need to use -D_WITH_CPU_SET_T as long as there are supported
releases that do not contain these patches.

For timing-sensitive, low-latency software like audio/jack, running with

This reverts commit 266f97b5e9a7958e365e78288616a459b40d924a, reversing
changes made to a10253cffea84c0c980a36ba6776b00ed96c3e3b.
A mismerge of a merge to catch up to main resulted in files being
committed which should not have been.
Add a few very useful variables that might easily be overlooked, since
they're only documented in rc.subr(8) which might not be the first place
that people look.
At least _oomprotect has existed since 11.0-RELEASE, and doesn't appear
to be very well-known. While the others aren't as new, in my estimation,
a lot more people would use them if they knew about them.
While here, also add a reference to rc.subr(8) and login.conf(5), and
sort the variables alphabetically.

The inclusion of 0a0f7486413c broke the build with the -DNO_ROOT option.
Specifically, that commit adds some relative paths (with `..`) to METALOG
that make other tools using that log, fail afterwards (tar, makefs...).
It's been argued[1] if this is really something mtree(8) should handle more
graciously. In the meantime, fix the breakage but changing the order in which
the links are created: first in the parent directory, then in the
architecture-specific one.
We keep the architecture-specific directories an the links to the parent
directories. This is something that we might want to change in the future.

This adds a new ng_device command, NGM_DEVICE_ETHERALIGN, which has no
associated args. After the command arrives, the device begins adjusting all
packets sent out its hook to have ETHER_ALIGN bytes of padding at the
beginning of the packet. The ETHER_ALIGN padding is added only when
running on an architecture that requires strict alignment of IP headers
(based on the __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT macro, which is only #define'd on
x86 as of this writing).
This also adds ascii <-> binary command translation to ng_device, both for
the existing NGM_DEVICE_GET_DEVNAME and the new ETHERALIGN command.
This also gives a name to every ng_device node when it is constructed, using
the cdev device name (ngd0, ngd1, etc). This makes it easier to address
command msgs to the device using ngctl(8).
