tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

Embedded lzma decompression library becomes a module usable by other
consumers, in addition to geom_uzip.
Most important code changes are
- removal of XZ_DEC_SINGLE define, we need the code to work
with XZ_DEC_DYNALLOC;
- xz_crc32_init() call is removed from geom_uzip, xz module handles
initialization on its own.
xz is no longer embedded into geom_uzip, instead the depend line for
the module is provided, and corresponding kernel option is added to
each MIPS kernel config file using geom_uzip.
The commit also carries unrelated cleanup by removing excess "device geom_uzip"
in places which were missed in r344479.

this one should also work on amd64 and sparc64.
LINT was broken in r312910 with the removal of pc98 support, by changing
the pathname in UKBD_DFLT_KEYBAP from a removed pc98 file to a nonexistent
file.
There are many bugs nearby. Some are:
- the error is not properly detected and handled by make(1), because
kbdcontrol(8) exits with status 0 after failing to find the keymap file
- UKBD_DFLT_KEYBAP is supposed to be MI, and is in MI NOTES to try enforce
this, but 5 out of 8 arches don't support it
- LINT seems to have been broken by this in only 7 out of 8 arches. mips
breaks test coverage instead, by killing this option in its MD NOTES.
arm kills ukbd but that is not enough to configure an unsupported option
used only by ukbd.
Add or fix options to control static and dynamic configuration. Keep
the default of scteken, but default to statically configuring all available
emulators (now 3 instead of 1).
The dumb emulator is almost usable. libedit and libreadline handle
dumb terminals perfectly for at least shell history. less(1) works
as well as possible except on exit. But curses programs make messes.
The dumb emulator has strange color support, with 2 dumb colors for
normal output but fancy colorization for the cursor, mouse pointer and
(with a non-dumb initial emulator) for low-level console output.
Using the sc emulator instead of the default of scteken fixes at least
the following bugs:
- NUL is a printing character in cons25 but not in teken
- teken doesn't support fixed colors for "reverse" video.
- The best versions of sc are about 10 times faster than scteken (for
printing to the frame buffer). This version is only about 5 times
faster.
Fix configuration features:
- make SC_DFLT_TERM (for setting the initial emulator) a normal option.
Add configuration features:
- negative options SC_NO_TERM_* for omitting emulators in the static config.
Modules for emulators might work, but I don't know of any
- vidcontrol -e shows the available emulators
- vidcontrol -E <emulator> sets the active emulator.
iflib is already a module, but it is unconditionally compiled into the
kernel. There are drivers which do not need iflib(4), and there are
situations where somebody might not want iflib in kernel because of
using the corresponding driver as module.

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

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.

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.

than assigning spigen device names in order of creation, this uses a device
name that corresponds to the owning spibus and chip-select index.
Example: /dev/spigen0.1 would be a child of spibus0, and use cs = 1
The intent is for systems like Raspberry Pi to have a consistent way of
using an SPI interface with a specific cs value from a user application.
Otherwise, there is no consistent way of knowing which cs pin will be
assigned to a particular spigen device. The alternative is to specify
everything in "the right order" in an overlay file, which is less than
ideal. Additionally, this duplicates (to some extent) the way Linux handles
a similar situation with their 'spidev' device, so it would be somewhat
familiar to those who also use Linux.
A new kernel config option, SPIGEN_LEGACY_CDEVNAME, causes the driver to
also create /dev/spigenN device name aliases, with N incrementing in the
order of device instantiation. This is provided to ease the transition
for existing systems using the original naming convention (particularly
when these changes are MFC'd to stable branches).

On PowerNV systems, the rootfs is passed through kexec, which loads the rootfs
into memory and set two fdt entries to describe where the file is located in
the memory;
I need to pass this memory region to the md device as a mfs_root, but, current
md driver does not support two things:
* Just getting a pointer from an external (bootloader) memory. If I need to
workaround it, I would need to declare a static array and memcopy from this
external memory to this static variable.
* The size of the image. The usage of mfs_root_end, which is not a pointer,
seems to be not possible for this prestaged scenario.
This patch simply adds a new way to load mfs_root from memory.
