Each boot, regenerate /var/run/os-release based on the currently running
system. Create a /etc/os-release symlink pointing to this file (so that this
doesn't create a new reason /etc can not be mounted read-only).
This is compatible with what other systems do and is what the sysutil/os-release
port attempted to do, but in an incomplete way. Linux, Solaris and DragonFly all
implement this natively as well. The complete standard can be found at
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
Moving this to the base solves both the non-standard location problem with the
port, as well as the lack of update of this file on system update.

Summary:
Historically, we have built toolchain components such as cc, ld, etc as
statically linked executables. One of the reasons being that you could
sometimes save yourself from botched upgrades, by e.g. recompiling a
"known good" libc and reinstalling it.
In this day and age, we have boot environments, virtual machine
snapshots, cloud backups, and other much more reliable methods to
restore systems to working order. So I think the time is ripe to flip
this default, and link the toolchain components dynamically, just like
almost all other executables on FreeBSD.
Maybe at some point they can even become PIE executables by default! :)

This change allows to specify a watchdog(9) timeout for a system
shutdown. The timeout is activated when the watchdogd daemon is
stopped. The idea is to a prevent any indefinite hang during late
stages of the shutdown. The feature is implemented in rc.d/watchdogd,
it builds upon watchdogd -x option.
Note that the shutdown timeout is not actiavted when the watchdogd
service is individually stopped by an operator. It is also not
activated for the 'shutdown' to the single-user mode. In those cases it
is assumed that the operator knows what they are doing and they have
means to recover the system should it hang.
Significant subchanges and implementation details:
- the argument to rc.shutdown, completely unused before, is assigned to
rc_shutdown variable that can be inspected by rc scripts
- init(8) passes "single" or "reboot" as the argument, this is not
changed
- the argument is not mandatory and if it is not set then rc_shutdown is
set to "unspecified"
- however, the default jail management scripts and jail configuration
examples have been updated to pass "jail" to rc.shutdown, just in case
- the new timeout can be set via watchdogd_shutdown_timeout rc option
- for consistency, the regular timeout can now be set via
watchdogd_timeout rc option
- watchdogd_shutdown_timeout and watchdogd_timeout override timeout
specifications in watchdogd_flags
- existing configurations, where the new rc options are not set, should
keep working as before
I am not particularly wed to any of the implementation specifics.
I am open to changing or removing any of them as long as the provided
functionality is the same (or very close) to the proposed one.
For example, I think it can be implemented without using watchdogd -x,
by means of watchdog(1) alone. In that case there would be a small
window between stopping watchdogd and running watchdog, but I think that
that is acceptable.

Summary: When powerpc64 switches to LLVM, use this patch to enable
OpenMP as well. OpenMP on PPC is only for 64-bits, so don't make a
32-bit libomp. A change to openmp files is necesssary (under review on
https://reviews.llvm.org/D67190), because it determines ELF format
version based on endianness, which is incorrect.

Previously fusefs would never recycle vnodes. After VOP_INACTIVE, they'd
linger around until unmount or the vnlru reclaimed them. This commit
essentially actives and inlines the old reclaim_revoked sysctl, and fixes
some issues dealing with the attribute cache and multiply linked files.

As of protocol 7.23, fuse file systems can specify their cache behavior on a
per-mountpoint basis. If they set FUSE_WRITEBACK_CACHE in
fuse_init_out.flags, then they'll get the writeback cache. If not, then
they'll get the writethrough cache. If they set FOPEN_DIRECT_IO in every
FUSE_OPEN response, then they'll get no cache at all.
The old vfs.fusefs.data_cache_mode sysctl is ignored for servers that use
protocol 7.23 or later. However, it's retained for older servers,
especially for those running in jails that lack access to the new protocol.
This commit also fixes two other minor test bugs:
* WriteCluster:SetUp was using an uninitialized variable.
* Read.direct_io_pread wasn't verifying that the cache was actually
bypassed.

NANDFS has been broken for years. Remove it. The NAND drivers that
remain are for ancient parts that are no longer relevant. They are
polled, have terrible performance and just for ancient arm
hardware. NAND parts have evolved significantly from this early work
and little to none of it would be relevant should someone need to
update to support raw nand. This code has been off by default for
years and has violated the vnode protocol leading to panics since it
was committed.

This sysctl was added > 6.5 years ago for no clear purpose. I'm guessing
that it may have had something to do with the incomplete attribute cache.
But the attribute cache works now. Since there's no clear motivation for
this sysctl, it's best to remove it.
