Document AF_UNIX control messages in unix(4) only, not split between unix(4)
and recv(2).
Also, warn about LOCAL_CREDS effective uid/gid fields, since the write could
be from a setuid or setgid program (with the explicit SCM_CREDS and
LOCAL_PEERCRED, the credentials are read at such a time that it can be
assumed that the process intends for them to be used in this context).

With this change LLD will be built on the same set of architectures that
use Clang as /usr/bin/cc. It is not yet fully functional as a system
linker for i386 and arm, but is ready for further testing and
investigation.
Recent versions of Clang are becoming usable for non-x86 non-arm FreeBSD
architectures. If the compiler is capable of building Clang, do so in
order to facilitate further testing.

This manpage isn't differentiated from mlx4en except where necessary,
replacing eth/ETH with ib/IB.
Eventually the manpages will be split and the common bits be placed

The ea_name string is not nul-terminated. Correct the documentation.
Because the subsequent field is padded to 8 bytes, and the padding is
zeroed, the ea_name string will appear to be nul-terminated whenever the
length isn't exactly one (mod eight).
This was introduced in r167010 (2007).
Additionally, mark the length fields as unsigned. This particularly
matters for the single byte ea_namelength field, which can represent
extended attribute names up to 255 bytes long.
No functional change.

sh has defaulted to 'set -o emacs' since FreeBSD 9.0. Therefore, do not set
this again in .shrc, since that only serves to prevent invocations like
'sh -o vi' and 'sh +o emacs' to have the intended effect.

drain timeout handling to historical freebsd behavior.
The primary reason for these changes is the need to have tty_drain() call
ttydevsw_busy() at some reasonable sub-second rate, to poll hardware that
doesn't signal an interrupt when the transmit shift register becomes empty
(which includes virtually all USB serial hardware). Such hardware hangs
in a ttyout wait, because it never gets an opportunity to trigger a wakeup
from the sleep in tty_drain() by calling ttydisc_getc() again, after
handing the last of the buffered data to the hardware.
While researching the history of changes to tty_drain() I stumbled across
some email describing the historical BSD behavior of tcdrain() and close()
on serial ports, and the ability of comcontrol(1) to control timeout
behavior. Using that and some advice from Bruce Evans as a guide, I've
put together these changes to implement the hardware polling and restore
the historical timeout behaviors...
- tty_drain() now calls ttydevsw_busy() in a loop at 10 Hz to accomodate
hardware that requires polling for busy state.
- The "new historical" behavior for draining during close(2) is retained:
the drain timeout is "1 second without making any progress". When the
1-second timeout expires, if the count of bytes remaining in the tty
layer buffer is smaller than last time, the timeout is extended for
another second. Unfortunately, the same logic cannot be extended all
the way down to the hardware, because the interface to that layer is a
simple busy/not-busy indication.
- Due to the previous point, an application that needs a guarantee that
all data has been transmitted must use TIOCDRAIN/tcdrain(3) before
calling close(2).
- The historical behavior of honoring the drainwait setting for TIOCDRAIN
(used by tcdrain(3)) is restored.
- The historical kern.drainwait sysctl to control the global default
drainwait time is restored, but is now named kern.tty_drainwait.
- The historical default drainwait timeout of 300 seconds is restored.
- Handling of TIOCGDRAINWAIT and TIOCSDRAINWAIT ioctls is restored
(this also makes the comcontrol(1) drainwait verb work again).
- Manpages are updated to document these behaviors.
