Escape sequences like "\n" have to be escaped twice in examples in our
mdoc(7)-based manual pages in order to be displayed properly. The problem
is that otherwise they are interpreted by mdoc(7), which results in:
printf("parent: received '%s'0, buf);
being shown to the user instead of:
printf("parent: received '%s'\n", buf);

It does extremely useful things like execute sendmail and spew dubiously

From the feedback, it seems like it is an essential utility in a modern unix

These support outdated or obsolete ISA WAN (T1/E1) sync serial cards,
and these drivers haven't really been touched (other than in tree-wide
sweeps to keep them building) for 15+ years.
Related PCI devices ce and cp are still in the tree, with deprecation
proposed in D23928.

ACPI Control Method Batteries have a _BIF and/or _BIX object which
provide static properties of the battery. FreeBSD acpi_cmbat module
supported _BIF object only, which was deprecated as of ACPI 4.0.
_BIX is an extended version of _BIF defined in ACPI 4.0 or later.
As of writing, _BIX has two revisions. One is in ACPI 4.0 (rev.0) and
another is in ACPI 6.0 (rev.1). It seems that hardware vendors still
stick to _BIF only or _BIX rev.0 + _BIF for the maximum compatibility.
Microsoft requires _BIX rev.0 for Windows machines, so there are some
laptop machines with _BIX rev.0 only. In this case, FreeBSD does not
recognize the battery information.
After this change, the acpi_cmbat module gets battery information from
_BIX or _BIF object and internally uses _BIX rev.1 data structure as
the primary information store in the kernel. ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BI[FX]
returns an acpi_bi[fx] structure built by using information obtained
from a _BIF or a _BIX object found on the system. The revision number
field can be used to check which field is available. The acpiconf(8)
utility will show additional information if _BIX is available.
Although ABIs of ACPIIO_BATT_* were changed, the existing APIs for
userland utilities are not changed and the backward-compatible ABIs
are provided. This means that older versions of acpiconf(8) can also
work with the new kernel. The (union acpi_battery_ioctl_arg) was
padded to 256 byte long to avoid another ABI change in the future.
A _BIX object with its revision number >1 will be treated as
compatible with the rev.1 _BIX format.

It was saved from the initial purge of drivers in fcp-101 due to being
the onboard Ethernet device on a number of sparc64 machines. Now that
sparc64 is gone, it serves little purpose (PCI cards exist, but are rare
and are unlikely to have been deployed outside Sun systems).

If package-level control is present, we default to using it. Per-core
software control may be enabled by setting the machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl
tunable to "0" in loader.conf(5).
Add a sysctl knob to allow users to re-enable it, and document the knob and
default in cpufreq.4. (While here, add a few unrelated updates to
cpufreq.4.)
It seems that the register value in some hardware simply reflects the
configured P-state. This results in an inadvertent and unintended outcome
where the P-state can only walk down, and then the driver becomes "stuck" in
the slowest possible P-state.
The Linux driver never consults this register, so that's some evidence that
ignoring the contents are relatively harmless.

After r355784 the td_oncpu field is no longer synchronized by the thread
lock, so the stack capture interrupt cannot be delievered precisely.
Fix this using a loop which drops the thread lock and restarts if the
wrong thread was sampled from the stack capture interrupt handler.
Change the implementation to use a regular interrupt instead of an NMI.
Now that we drop the thread lock, there is no advantage to the latter.
Simplify the KPIs. Remove stack_save_td_running() and add a return
value to stack_save_td(). On platforms that do not support stack
capture of running threads, stack_save_td() returns EOPNOTSUPP. If the
target thread is running in user mode, stack_save_td() returns EBUSY.
