You might not be able to build the kernel if you have an awk between
Jul 7th and today. It does not affect all platforms due to the nature
of the bug (so amd64 is unaffected in stable/13 or current, but
is affected in stable/12. i386 seems to be affected everywhere).

The updating entry can be used for release notes. I'll merge this to
stable/12 and stable/13 to make sure it gets into thier release notes.

This fixes a couple of typos in older entries, and clarifies the
language of a newer one. It also removes a joke that trips up
foreign readers due its use of faux archaic English.

comitted. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400015 to be able to detect this.

Update the UPDATING file for PC Card device removal. Also note that
1300134 is used for the FreeBSD_version since wulf@ just bumped that
in the last few hours.
This is the final half of splitting r358153 in two, in order to avoid a build
system bugs and being able to merge an earlier change to previous releases.
Add a note to UPDATING to avoid people building from very old systems from
having issues with mergemaster

GDB 6.1.1 was released in June 2004 and is long obsolete. It does not
support all of the architectures that FreeBSD does, and imposes
limitations on the FreeBSD kernel build, such as the continued use of
DWARF2 debugging information.
It was kept (in /usr/libexec/) only for use by crashinfo(8), which
extracts some basic information from a kernel core dump after a crash.
Crashinfo already prefers gdb from port/package if installed.
Future work may add kernel debug support to LLDB or find another path
for crashinfo's needs, but in any case we do not want to ship the
excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

There is now a single ping binary, which chooses to use ICMP or ICMPv4
based on the -4 and -6 options, and the format of the address.

The goal of the fib support is to provide multiple independent
routing tables, isolated from each other.
net.add_addr_allfibs default tries to shift gears in the opposite
direction, unconditionally inserting all addresses to all of the fibs.
There are use cases when this is necessary, however this is not a
default expected behaviour, especially compared to other implementations.
Provide WARNING message for the setups with multiple fibs to notify
potential users of the feature.

Add a note about always recompiling all modules on every new kernel
change / update. In addition, suggest using /usr/local/sys/modules
so this happens automatically.
freebsd-boot partition is not always the first one.
Following the instructions in UPDATING resulted in my overwriting
the efiboot0 partition on my laptop with ZFS boot blocks, which
had negative effects on the system's bootability.

Now that config(8) has supported include for 19 years, transition to
including the NOTES files. include support didn't exist at the time,
nor did the envvar stuff recently added. Now that it does, eliminate
the building of LINT files by just including everything you need.
Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
find sys -name LINT\* -rm
is suggested across this commit to remove the generated LINT
files.

For historical reasons, defining MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf has
been used to turn off potentially expensive debug checks and statistics
gathering in the implementation of malloc(3).
It seems more consistent to turn this into a regular src.conf(5) option,
e.g. WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION / WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION. This can then
be toggled similar to any other source build option, and turned on or
off by default for e.g. stable branches.
