several new kerberos related libraries and applications to FreeBSD:
o kgetcred(1) allows one to manually get a ticket for a particular service.
o kf(1) securily forwards ticket to another host through an authenticated
and encrypted stream.
o kcc(1) is an umbrella program around klist(1), kswitch(1), kgetcred(1)
and other user kerberos operations. klist and kswitch are just symlinks
to kcc(1) now.
o kswitch(1) allows you to easily switch between kerberos credentials if
you're running KCM.
o hxtool(1) is a certificate management tool to use with PKINIT.
o string2key(1) maps a password into key.
o kdigest(8) is a userland tool to access the KDC's digest interface.
o kimpersonate(8) creates a "fake" ticket for a service.
We also now install manpages for some lirbaries that were not installed
before, libheimntlm and libhx509.
- The new HEIMDAL version no longer supports Kerberos 4. All users are
recommended to switch to Kerberos 5.
- Weak ciphers are now disabled by default. To enable DES support (used
by telnet(8)), use "allow_weak_crypto" option in krb5.conf.
- libtelnet, pam_ksu and pam_krb5 are now compiled with error on warnings
disabled due to the function they use (krb5_get_err_text(3)) being
deprecated. I plan to work on this next.
- Heimdal's KDC now require sqlite to operate. We use the bundled version
and install it as libheimsqlite. If some other FreeBSD components will
require it in the future we can rename it to libbsdsqlite and use for these
components as well.
- This is not a latest Heimdal version, the new one was released while I was
working on the update. I will update it to 1.5.2 soon, as it fixes some
important bugs and security issues.
hardclock() tick should be run on every active CPU, or on only one.
On my tests, avoiding extra interrupts because of this on 8-CPU Core i7
system with HZ=10000 saves about 2% of performance. At this moment option
implemented only for global timers, as reprogramming per-CPU timers is
too expensive now to be compensated by this benefit, especially since we
still have to regularly run hardclock() on at least one active CPU to
update system uptime. For global timer it is quite trivial: timer runs
always, but we just skip IPIs to other CPUs when possible.
Option is enabled by default now, keeping previous behavior, as periodic
hardclock() calls are still used at least to implement setitimer(2) with
ITIMER_VIRTUAL and ITIMER_PROF arguments. But since default schedulers don't
depend on it since r232917, we are much more free to experiment with it.

With minor efforts it should be possible the extend the driver to support
further chips/revisions available from Winbond. In the simplest case
only new IDs need to be added, while different chipsets might require
their own function to enter extended function mode, etc.

that it is better to error out when people attempt to build using the
wrong bsd.*.mk files, than to silently ignore the problem.
This means, that after this commit, if you want to build kernel modules
by hand (or via a port) from a head source tree, you *must* make sure
the files in /usr/share/mk are in sync with that tree. If that isn't
possible, for example when you are running on an older FreeBSD branch,
you can:
- Run "make buildenv" from your head source tree, to have the correct
environment setup. (It's advisable to have run "make buildworld", or
at a minimum "make toolchain" first.)
- Alternatively, set MAKESYSPATH to the share/mk directory under your
head source tree. If your build tools are too old, other problems may
still occur.
- Alternatively, use "make -m" and specify the share/mk directory under
your head source tree. Again, build tools that are too old may still
result in trouble.

kernel modules using their old installed /usr/share/mk/bsd.*.mk files,
instead of the updated ones in their source tree. This leads to errors
like:
"sys/conf/kmod.mk", line 111: Malformed conditional (${MK_CLANG_IS_CC} == "no" && ${CC:T:Mclang} != "clang")
Obviously, these errors will go away after a "make installworld", or
alternatively, by using "make buildenv" before attempting to manually
build modules.
However, since it is apparently an expected use case to build using old
.mk files, change the way we test for clang, so it also works when the
MK_CLANG_IS_CC macro doesn't exist.
Note the conditional expressions are becoming rather unreadable now, but
I will attempt to fix that on a followup commit.

get rid of testing explicitly for clang (using ${CC:T:Mclang}) in
individual Makefiles.
Instead, use the following extra macros, for use with clang:

- NO_WCAST_ALIGN.clang (disables -Wcast-align)
- NO_WFORMAT.clang (disables -Wformat and friends)
- CLANG_NO_IAS (disables integrated assembler)
- CLANG_OPT_SMALL (adds flags for extra small size optimizations)
As a side effect, this enables setting CC/CXX/CPP in src.conf instead of
make.conf! For clang, use the following:
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CPP=clang-cpp

USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;
2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);
3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
to help detect mismatches.
4. update the manual page for the two changes above;
5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap
KERNEL:
1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
to the 'struct netmap_adapter';
2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes
3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;
4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
in the ixgbe driver.
Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.
Rx performance not investigated.
I am postponing the MFC so i can import a few more improvements
before merging.
- Remove all attempts to guess physical temperature using DiodeOffset.
There are too many reports that it varies wildly depending on motherboard.
Instead, if it is known to scale well and its offset is known from other
temperature sensors on board, the user may set "dev.amdtemp.0.sensor_offset"
tunable to compensate the difference. Document the caveats in amdtemp(4).
- Add a quirk for Socket AM2 Revision G processors. These processors are
known to have a different offset according to Linux k8temp driver.
- Warn about Family 10h Erratum 319. These processors have broken sensors.
- Report temperature in more logical orders under dev.amdtemp node. For
example, "dev.amdtemp.0.sensor0.core0" is now "dev.amdtemp.0.core0.sensor0".
- Replace K8, K10 and K11 with official processor names in amdtemp(4).
