The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

Since bsd.prog.mk includes bsd.obj.mk, and thus bsd.subdir.mk, we must
ensure all our bsd.subdir.mk-affecting variables are set before
including bsd.prog.mk. Since sbin's various Makefile.arch files add to
SUBDIR this results in those not taking effect, and presumably we also
end up not having buildworld as parallel as it should be due to the fact
that SUBDIR_PARALLEL was not being set before including bsd.prog.mk.

Building and installing architecture-specific man pages only raises a number of
problems:
* The https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi is incomplete. As an
example, it does not show results for pae(4). The reason for this is
that the cgi interface runs on FreeBSD amd64.
* In FreeBSD amd64 some manual pages have broken X-refs. See hptrr(4)
for an example.
* Also, we have broken links in our Release Notes. This is a
consequence of the first point. See
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/hardware/#proc-i386.
Make MAN_ARCH default to 'all' so we build all the man pages for all the
architectures. The difference in disk space is negligible. Also link
architecture-specific man pages to their own section while keeping their own
namespace.

The KPI have been reviewed and cleansed of features that were planned
back 20 years ago and never implemented. The pfil(9) internals have
been made opaque to protocols with only returned types and function
declarations exposed. The KPI is made more strict, but at the same time
more extensible, as kernel uses same command structures that userland
ioctl uses.
In nutshell [KA]PI is about declaring filtering points, declaring
filters and linking and unlinking them together.
New [KA]PI makes it possible to reconfigure pfil(9) configuration:
change order of hooks, rehook filter from one filtering point to a
different one, disconnect a hook on output leaving it on input only,
prepend/append a filter to existing list of filters.
Now it possible for a single packet filter to provide multiple rulesets
that may be linked to different points. Think of per-interface ACLs in
Cisco or Juniper. None of existing packet filters yet support that,
however limited usage is already possible, e.g. default ruleset can
be moved to single interface, as soon as interface would pride their
filtering points.
Another future feature is possiblity to create pfil heads, that provide
not an mbuf pointer but just a memory pointer with length. That would
allow filtering at very early stages of a packet lifecycle, e.g. when
packet has just been received by a NIC and no mbuf was yet allocated.

After the addition of SUBDIR.yes, uniquifying/ordering the SUBDIRs doesn't
make a whole lot of sense, and it's in effect a half measure.
Ordering SUBDIR (after adding SUBDIR.yes to it) in bsd.subdir.mk is a
separate change that warrants more discussion/testing, because while
the SUBDIR_PARALLEL work largely fixed dependency ordering for SUBDIRs,
there might be downstream FreeBSD consumers that rely on the SUBDIR

patm(4) devices.
Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).
With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.
Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

(gpt)zfsboot will read one-time boot directives from a special ZFS pool
area. The area was previously described as "Boot Block Header", but
currently it is know as Pad2, marked as reserved and is zeroed out on
pool creation. The new code interprets data in this area, if any, using
the same format as boot.config. The area is immediately wiped out.
Failure to parse the directives results in a reboot right after the
cleanup. Otherwise the boot sequence proceeds as usual.
zfsbootcfg writes zfsboot arguments specified on its command line to the
Pad2 area of a disk identified by vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool and
vfs.zfs.boot.primary_vdev kenv variables that are set by loader during

HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
