behind _FREEFALL_CONFIG). This is done mainly to make NIS even more
resistant to packet loss.
This is not enabled by default for "normal" FreeBSD since it might cause
the server providing the RPC service to be hit heavily with RPC traffic
in case of problems. freefall.FreeBSD.org and hub.FreeBSD.org have been
running with a patch similar to this for a couple of weeks.

- Initialize the timer_freq in i8254_init().
- Fix inittodr() and resettodr(). These are broken by rev.1.154.
packet loss when talking to a NIS server.
- Set 1 second retry timeout to further realistically handle UDP
packet loss for yp_next packet bursts. If the packet hasn't come
back within 1 second its rather unlikely to come back at all. There
is still back-off mechanism in RPC so if there is another reason
than packet loss for the lack of response within 1 second, the NIS
server will not be totally bombarded with requests.
This reduces the risk of NIS failing with:
yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
considerably. This is mainly a problem if you have larger NIS maps
(like at FreeBSD.org) since enumerations of the lists will cause a UDP
packet bursts where a few packets being lost once in a while do
happen.

If these drivers are setting M_VLANTAG because they are stripping the
layer 2 802.1Q headers, then they need to be re-inserting them so any
bpf(4) peers can properly decode them.
It should be noted that this is compiled tested only.

* libarchive_test program exercises many of the core features
* Refactored old "read_extract" into new "archive_write_disk", which
uses archive_write methods to put entries onto disk. In particular,
you can now use archive_write_disk to create objects on disk
without having an archive available.
* Pushed some security checks from bsdtar down into libarchive, where
they can be better optimized.
* Rearchitected the logic for creating objects on disk to reduce
the number of system calls. Several common cases now use a
minimum number of system calls.
* Virtualized some internal interfaces to provide a clearer separation
of read and write handling and make it simpler to override key
methods.
* New "empty" format reader.
* Corrected return types (this ABI breakage required the "2.0" version bump)
* Many bug fixes.
Include /var/db/entropy-file in the reseeding if present. It is used for
last-ditch efforts to save entropy and thus should also be used to seed
the RNG when starting. Print a warning instead of an error if writing the
file fails -- err() exits, preventing the umask from being restored.
Also, since there's not much that can be done about it, notifying the user
is all that's needed.

the offset at which the counter should be inserted as well as the
parameters of the counter.

to embed a timestamp (struct timeval) in outgoing packets. The message
specifies the offset at which the timestamp should be inserted.
NG_SOURCE(4) gives an example usage that queues an ICMP packet. Using that
example, the following command will insert a timestamp in the ICMP's data
payload:
ngctl msg src0: settimestamp '{ offset=0x2a flags=1 }'
