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.

Similar to calloc() the mallocarray() function checks for integer
overflows before allocating memory.
It does not zero memory, unless the M_ZERO flag is set.

The sid controller on the H3 is generally identical in location, size, and
efuse offset to the a64 and the a83t. The main difference is that the H3 has
a silicon bug that sometimes causes the rootkey (at least) to be garbled
unless first read by the prctl registers.
This device is currently not in our DTS and, as of now, is not yet present
in mainline Linux DTS.

Enable the hardclock-based watchdog previously conditional on the
SW_WATCHDOG option whenever hardware watchdogs are not found, and
watchdogd attempts to enable the watchdog. The SW_WATCHDOG option
still causes the sofware watchdog to be enabled even if there is a
hardware watchdog. This does not change the other software-based
watchdog enabled by the --softtimeout option to watchdogd.
Note that the code to reprime the watchdog during kernel core dumps is
no longer conditional on SW_WATCHDOG. I think this was previously a bug.

Introduce new set of loader tunables kern.vt.color.N.rgb, where N is a
number from 0 to 15. The value is either comma-separated list decimal
numbers ranging from 0 to 255 that represent values of red, green, and
blue components respectively (i.e. "128,128,128") or 6-digit hex triplet
commonly used to represent colors in HTML or xterm settings (i.e. #808080)
Each tunable overrides one of the 16 hardcoded palette codes and can be set
in loader.conf(5)

A comment in Makefile.inc1 has long stated that LOCAL_DIRS are built last,
after the base system. Incremental improvements in parallel building over
the years have led to LOCAL_DIRS being built in parallel with base system
directories. This change allows the .WAIT directive to appear in LOCAL_DIRS
and LOCAL_LIB_DIRS lists to give the user some control over parallel
building of local additions.

This adds HardenedBSD which is a pseudo-fork of FreeBSD. It hasn't had a
release yet, but does does have active users and a community. As such
document it as a branch off of FreeBSD-stable. Ideally this adds enough
space so that future releases are easy enough to add.
filesystem larger than about 50-55 MiB.
The description of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE is roughly as hand-wavy as my
understanding of the option, but at least mentioning that it's a factor
and giving an empirical datapoint that works will give folks some idea
of what to tweak if they have problems.
new clang 6.0.0 -Wtautological-constant-compare warning to the WARNS <=

false positives, but it is currently still too trigger happy.)
MD_READONLY flag for the md device automatically instantiated during
kernel init for an mdroot filesystem.
Note that there is specifically and by design no tunable or sysctl
control over this feature. Without this option, you already have control
over whether the mdroot fs is writeable using vfs.root.mountfrom.options
from loader(8), the root_rw_mount rcvar, and by using "mount -u[rw] /"
or equivelent on the fly. This option is being added to provide a way
to make the mdroot fs truly immutable before userland code begins running.
