vop_stdallocate() is filesystem agnostic and will run as slow as a
read/write loop in userspace; however, it serves to correctly
implement the functionality for filesystems that do not implement a
VOP_ALLOCATE.
Note that __FreeBSD_version was already bumped today to 900036 for any
ports which would like to use this function.
Also reserve space in the syscall table for posix_fadvise(2).

negative return value from write to update its position in
a buffer. The patch, courtesy of Andrey Simonenko, also simplifies
a conditional by removing the "i != cnt" clause, since it is
always true at this point in the code. The bug caused problems
for mountd, when it generated a large reply to an exports RPC
request.

Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE.
Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and
doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other
implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to
work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some
applications depend on it.

syscall assembly files. This results in conflicting dependencies and can
cause unexpected results for parallel builds. This is because the .c file

The "FTS_NOSTAT" option can avoid a lot of calls to stat(2) if it knows that a
directory could not possibly have subdirectories. This is decided by looking at
the link count: a subdirectory would increment its parent's link count by
virtue of its own ".." entry. This assumption only holds for UFS-like
filesystems that implement links and directories this way, so we must punt for
others.
It looks like ZFS is a UFS-like file system, as the above also holds for ZFS.
Add ZFS to the list of file systems that allow for such optimization.

Calling rfork_thread(3) does not interoperate with pthreads and global state

kernel.debug (or possibly other files), when WITH_CTF is active.
This is caused by a bug in clang's integrated assembler, causing malloc
to sometimes hang during initialization in statically linked executables
that use threading, such as the copy of ctfmerge that is built during
the bootstrap stage of buildworld. The bug has been submitted upstream:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9352
Note that you might have to rebuild and install libc first, to get your
kernel build to finish, because the ctfmerge binary built during
bootstrap is linked with your base system's copy of libc.a, which might
already contain a bad copy of malloc.o.
setting. It can be built by setting the WITH_ICONV knob. While this
knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and
the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact
on the system if left turned off.
This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:
- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.
- Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is
now WARNS=6 clean.
- New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added.
- Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented:
iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into()
- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the
GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and
GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the
char ** and const char ** incompatibility.
- GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local
encoding in use
- Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.

As it was pointed out by Alan Cox, that no longer serves its purpose with
the modern UMA allocator compared to the old one used in 4.x days.
The removal of sysctl eliminates max_proc_mmap type overflow leading to
the broken mmap(2) seen with large amount of physical memory on arches
with factually unbound KVA space (such as amd64). It was found that
slightly less than 256GB of physmem was enough to trigger the overflow.

Most of the ports I broke when I imported utmpx, were simple management
utilities for the utmp database, allowing you to add/remove entries
manually.
Add a small tool called utxrm(8), which allows you to remove an entry
from the utmpx database by hand. This is useful when a login daemon
crashes or fails to remove the entry during shutdown.
