Some section-4 manpages are architecture-specific, and the build process
currently generates only the pages for the MACHINE_CPUARCH being built.
man(1) supports a '-m' option to find manpages belonging to an arbitrary
architecture other than the MACHINE_[CPU]ARCH, but we have no way to
generate and install alternate-arch pages right now.
This change adds a new make.conf variable, MAN_ARCH, which can be a list of
one or more MACHINE_ARCH or MACHINE_CPUARCH values. All arch-specific
manpages that exist for the named arches will be installed. If unset, it
continues the behavior of installing just the MACHINE_CPUARCH being built.

Allow attaching of multiple geli providers at once if they use same
passphrase and keyfiles.
This is helpful when the providers being attached are not used for boot,
and therefore the existing code to first try the cached password when
tasting the providers during boot does not apply.
Multiple providers with the same passphrase and keyfiles can be attached
at the same time during system start-up by adding the following to
rc.conf:
geli_groups="storage backup"
geli_storage_flags="-k /etc/geli/storage.keys"
geli_storage_devices="ada0 ada1"
geli_backup_flags="-j /etc/geli/backup.passfile -k /etc/geli/backup.keys"

Normally pf rules are expected to do one of two things: pass the traffic or
block it. Blocking can be silent - "drop", or loud - "return", "return-rst",
"return-icmp". Yet there is a 3rd category of traffic passing through pf:
Packets matching a "pass" rule but when applying the rule fails. This happens
when redirection table is empty or when src node or state creation fails. Such
rules always fail silently without notifying the sender.
Allow users to configure this behaviour too, so that pf returns an error packet
in these cases.

This makes it possible, through src.conf(5) settings, to select which
LLVM targets you want to build during buildworld. The current list is:
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_AARCH64
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_ARM
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_MIPS
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_POWERPC
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_SPARC
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_X86
To not influence anything right now, all of these are on by default, in
situations where clang is enabled.
Selectively turning a few targets off manually should work. Turning on
only one target should work too, even if that target does not correspond
to the build architecture. (In that case, LLVM_NATIVE_ARCH will not be
defined, and you can only use the resulting clang executable for
cross-compiling.)
I performed a few measurements on one of the FreeBSD.org reference
machines, building clang from scratch, with all targets enabled, and
with only the x86 target enabled. The latter was ~12% faster in real
time (on a 32-core box), and ~14% faster in user time. For a full
buildworld the difference will probably be less pronounced, though.

ConnectX-4/5 devices in mlx5core.
The dump is obtained by reading a predefined register map from the
non-destructive crspace, accessible by the vendor-specific PCIe
capability (VSC). The dump is stored in preallocated kernel memory and
managed by the mlx5tool(8), which communicates with the driver using a
character device node.
The utility allows to store the dump in format
<address> <value>
into a file, to reset the dump content, and to manually initiate the
dump.
A call to mlx5_fwdump() should be added at the places where a dump
must be fetched automatically. The most likely place is right before a
firmware reset request.

This works similarly to the existing gzip compression support, but
zstd is typically faster and gives better compression ratios.
Support for this functionality must be configured by adding ZSTDIO to
one's kernel configuration file. dumpon(8)'s new -Z option is used to
configure zstd compression for kernel dumps. savecore(8) now recognizes
and saves zstd-compressed kernel dumps with a .zst extension.

We currently use a set of subroutines in kern_gzio.c to perform
compression of user and kernel core dumps. In the interest of adding
support for other compression algorithms (zstd) in this role without
complicating the API consumers, add a simple compressor API which can be
used to select an algorithm.
Also change the (non-default) GZIO kernel option to not enable
compressed user cores by default. It's not clear that such a default
would be desirable with support for multiple algorithms implemented,
and it's inconsistent in that it isn't applied to kernel dumps.

The information here is somewhere between ancient to obsolete.
It refers to a time in the internet's history when manual routing
was still useful, talks about UUCP as if its modern, and refers
to documents which I had trouble tracking down.
It seems unlikely that a manual page in this form would be useful, so
just remove it.

When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.
