This was disabled recently due to lack of support in KDB disassembler
and DTrace FBT provider. Support for 'C'-extension to both of these was
added, so we can now enable 'C'-extension.
This reduces size of the kernel important for low-end embedded devices,
and saves cache footprint for high perfomance machines.

deprecated and prent a message about where to find the up-to-date

It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in

Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for

a10_timer is currently use in UP allwinner SoC (A10 and A13).
Those don't have the generic arm timer.
The arm generic timecounter is broken in the A64 SoC, some attempts have
been made to fix the glitch but users still reported some minor ones.
Since the A64 (and all Allwinner SoC) still have this timer controller, rework
the driver so we can use it in any SoC.
Since it doesn't have the 64 bits counter on all SoC, use one of the
generic 32 bits counter as the timecounter source.

Add an option, KASSERT_PANIC_OPTIONAL, that allows runtime KASSERT()
behavior changes. When this option is not enabled, code that allows
KASSERTs to become optional is not enabled, and all violated assertions
cause termination.
The runtime KASSERT behavior was added in r243980.
One important distinction here is that panic has __dead2
("attribute((noreturn))"), while kassert_panic does not. Static analyzers
like Coverity understand __dead2. Without it, KASSERTs go misunderstood,
resulting in many false positives that result from violation of program
invariants.

Recent DTS use the syscon for the emac controller.
We support this but since U-Boot is still using old DTS it was never
needed for us to add this support, but this is a problem when using upstream
recent DTS and will be when U-Boot will catch up.
While here add a new compatible to the aw_syscon driver as Linux changed it ...
Summary:
PowerISA 3.0 adds a 'darn' instruction to "deliver a random number". This
driver was modeled after (rather, copied and gutted of) the Ivy Bridge
rdrand driver.
This uses the "Conditional Random Number" behavior to remove input bias.
From the ISA reference the 'darn' instruction, and the random number
generator backing it, conforms to the NIST SP800-90B and SP800-90C
standards, compliant to the extent possible at the time the hardware was
designed, and guarantees a minimum 0.5 bits of entropy per bit returned.

The wrapper is a thin shim around libsodium's Poly-1305 implementation. For
now, we just use the C algorithm and do not attempt to build the
SSE-optimized variant for x86 processors.
The algorithm support has not yet been plumbed through cryptodev, or added
to cryptosoft.
Updates in the format described in section 9.11 of the Intel SDM can
now be applied as one of the first steps in booting the kernel. Updates
that are loaded this way are automatically re-applied upon exit from
ACPI sleep states, in contrast with the existing cpucontrol(8)-based
method. For the time being only Intel updates are supported.
Microcode update files are passed to the kernel via loader(8). The
file type must be "cpu_microcode" in order for the file to be recognized
as a candidate microcode update. Updates for multiple CPU types may be
concatenated together into a single file, in which case the kernel
will select and apply a matching update. Memory used to store the
update file will be freed back to the system once the update is applied,
so this approach will not consume more memory than required.

BOOT_TAG lived shortly in sys/msgbuf.h, but this wasn't necessarily great
for changing it or removing it. Move it into subr_prf.c and add options for
it to opt_printf.h.
One can specify both the BOOT_TAG and BOOT_TAG_SZ (really, size of the
buffer that holds the BOOT_TAG). We expose it as kern.boot_tag and also add
a loader tunable by the same name that we'll fetch upon initialization of
the msgbuf.
This allows for flexibility and also ensures that there's a consistent way
to figure out the boot tag of the running kernel, rather than relying on
headers to be in-sync.

9102 zfs should be able to initialize storage devices
The first access to a disk block can incur a performance penalty on some
platforms (e.g. AWS's EBS, VMware VMDKs). Therefore it is recommended that
volumes be "thick provisioned", where supported by the platform (VMware).
Thick provisioning is time consuming and often is ignored. If the thick
provision step is omitted, customers will see suboptimal performance until
we have written to all parts of the LUN. ZFS should be able to initialize
any unused storage to remove any first-write penalty that exists.

Code analysis and runtime analysis using truss(8) indicate that the only
privileged operations performed by ntpd are adjusting system time, and
(re-)binding to privileged UDP port 123. These changes add a new mac(4)
policy module, mac_ntpd(4), which grants just those privileges to any
process running with uid 123.
This also adds a new user and group, ntpd:ntpd, (uid:gid 123:123), and makes
them the owner of the /var/db/ntp directory, so that it can be used as a
location where the non-privileged daemon can write files such as the
driftfile, and any optional logfile or stats files.
Because there are so many ways to configure ntpd, the question of how to
configure it to run without root privs can be a bit complex, so that will be
addressed in a separate commit. These changes are just what's required to
grant the limited subset of privs to ntpd, and the small change to ntpd to
prevent it from exiting with an error if running as non-root.

config-generated hints.c/env.c from r335998 and later are incompatible with
earlier kernels due to no longer setting envmode/hintmode. A minor bump for
this is insufficient, as matching major version with a later minor version
is still viewed as backwards-compatible.
This was an MI kernel change, soo all VERSREQ's are bumped.
