The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs kernel functionality which
is exposed through /dev/cuse . In order to function the CUSE kernel
code must either be enabled in the kernel configuration file or loaded
separately as a module. Currently none of the committed items are
connected to the default builds, except for installing the needed
header files. The CUSE code will be connected to the default world and
kernel builds in a follow-up commit.
The CUSE module was written by Hans Petter Selasky, somewhat inspired
by similar functionality found in FUSE. The CUSE library can be used
for many purposes. Currently CUSE is used when running Linux kernel
drivers in user-space, which need to create a character device node to
communicate with its applications. CUSE has full support for almost
all devfs functionality found in the kernel:
- kevents
- read
- write
- ioctl
- poll
- open
- close
- mmap
- private per file handle data

Whenever <sys/cdefs.h> sets __BSD_VISIBLE to non-zero, it also sets

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

when there is an invalid character in the output codeset while it is
valid in the input. However, POSIX requires iconv() to perform an
implementation-defined conversion on the character. So, Citrus iconv converts
such a character to a special character which means it is invalid in the
output codeset.
This is not a problem in most cases but some software like libxml2 depends
on GNU's behavior to determine if a character is output as-is or another form
such as a character entity (&#NNN;).
FreeBSD systems usually implemented this as a third party module and
our implementation hasn't played as nicely with the old way as it could
have.
To that end:
* Rename the iconv* symbols in libc.so.7 to have a __bsd_ prefix.
* Provide .symver compatability with existing 10.x+ binaries that
referenced the iconv symbols. All existing binaries should work.
* Like on Linux/glibc systems, add a libc_nonshared.a to the ldscript
at /usr/lib/libc.so.
* Move the "iconv*" wrapper symbols to libc_nonshared.a
This should solve the runtime ambiguity about which symbols resolve
to where. If you compile against the iconv in libc, your runtime
dependencies will be unambiguous.
Old 9.x libraries and binaries will always resolve against their
libiconv.so.3 like they did on 9.x. They won't resolve against libc.
Old 10.x binaries will be satisified by the .symver helpers.
This should allow ports to selectively compile against the libiconv
port if needed and it should behave without ambiguity now.

provide a colliding libiconv.so.3 to fool rtld. This should have
been removed some time ago.

newvers.sh. Pass it in from include/Makefile. If it isn't passed in,
fall back to the old logic of using dirname $0.
Using dirname $0 does not yield the path to the script if it was
sourced in from another script in another directory; you end up with
the parent script's path. That was causing newvers.sh to look one
level below the FreeBSD src/ directory when building osreldate.h and it
may find something like a git or svn repo there that has nothing to do
with FreeBSD.

newvers.sh into a temporary subshell with inline make rules.
Using a separate script fixes a variety of problems, including establishing
the correct dependencies in the makefiles. It also eliminates a problem
with the way newvers.sh uses `realpath $0`, because $0 expands differently
within a script sourced into a rule in a makefile depending on the version
of make and of /bin/sh being used. The latter can cause build breakage in a
cross-build environment, and can also make it difficult to compile 10.0 on
older pre-10.0 systems.

This splits that functionality and enables the parts that shouldn't
interfere with the port by default.
WITH_ICONV (now on by default) - adds iconv.h, iconv_open(3) etc.
WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT (off by default) adds the libiconv_open etc API, linker
symbols and even a stub libiconv.so.3 that are good enough to be able
to 'pkg delete -f libiconv' on a running system and reasonably expect it
to work.
I have tortured many machines over the last few days to try and reduce
the possibilities of foot-shooting as much as I can. I've successfully
recompiled to enable and disable the libiconv_compat modes, ports that use
libiconv alongside system iconv etc. If you don't enable the
WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT switch, they don't share symbol space.
This is an extension of behavior on other system. iconv(3) is a standard
libc interface and libiconv port expects to be able to run alongside it on
systems that have it.

rc.d/encswap supported. The /etc/fstab lines are like the following:
/dev/ada1p1.bde none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ada1p2.eli none swap sw 0 0
.eli devices accepts aalgo, ealgo, keylen, and sectorsize as options.
swapctl(8) can understand an encrypted device in the command line

# swapctl -a /dev/ada2p1.bde

rc.d/encswap -> removed
rc.d/addswap -> just display a warning message if $swapfile is defined
rc.d/swap1 -> renamed to rc.d/swap
rc.d/swaplate -> newly added to support "late" option

It turns out that in C++11, char16_t and char32_t are built-in types;
language keywords. Just fix this by putting traditional _*_T_DECLARED
blocks around the definitions. We'll just predefine these in
<sys/_types.h>.
This also opens up the possibility to define char16_t in other header
files, if ever needed (e.g. if we would gain a <ctype.h> for
char16_t/char32_t).
The <uchar.h> header, part of C11, adds a small number of utility
functions for 16/32-bit "universal" characters, which may or may not be
UTF-16/32. As our wchar_t is already ISO 10646, simply add light-weight
wrappers around wcrtomb() and mbrtowc().
While there, also add (non-yet-standard) _l functions, similar to the
ones we already have for the other locale-dependent functions.

The pipe2() function is similar to pipe() but allows setting FD_CLOEXEC and
O_NONBLOCK (on both sides) as part of the function.
If p points to two writable ints, pipe2(p, 0) is equivalent to pipe(p).
If the pointer is not valid, behaviour differs: pipe2() writes into the
array from the kernel like socketpair() does, while pipe() writes into the
array from an architecture-specific assembler wrapper.
