6bba9b4244 Remove ISDN4BSD (I4B) from HEAD as it is not MPSAFE and
parts relied on the now removed NET_NEEDS_GIANT.
Most of I4B has been disconnected from the build
since July 2007 in HEAD/RELENG_7.

This is what was removed:
- configuration in /etc/isdn
- examples
- man pages
- kernel configuration
- sys/i4b (drivers, layers, include files)
- user space tools
- i4b support from ppp
- further documentation

989a96d5cb Switch the default NFS mount mode from UDP to TCP. UDP mounts are a
historical relic, and are no longer appropriate for either LAN or WAN
mounting.  At modern (gigabit and 10 gigabit) LAN speeds packet loss
from socket buffer fill events is common, and sequence numbers wrap
quickly enough that data corruption is possible.  TCP solves both of
these problems without imposing significant overhead.

ac1e4103b9 Our fts(3) API, as inherited from 4.4BSD, suffers from integer
fields in FTS and FTSENT structs being too narrow.  In addition,
the narrow types creep from there into fts.c.  As a result, fts(3)
consumers, e.g., find(1) or rm(1), can't handle file trees an ordinary
user can create, which can have security implications.

To fix the historic implementation of fts(3), OpenBSD and NetBSD
have already changed <fts.h> in somewhat incompatible ways, so we
are free to do so, too.  This change is a superset of changes from
the other BSDs with a few more improvements.  It doesn't touch
fts(3) functionality; it just extends integer types used by it to
match modern reality and the C standard.

Here are its points:

o For C object sizes, use size_t unless it's 100% certain that
  the object will be really small.  (Note that fts(3) can construct
  pathnames _much_ longer than PATH_MAX for its consumers.)

o Avoid the short types because on modern platforms using them
  results in larger and slower code.  Change shorts to ints as
  follows:

	- For variables than count simple, limited things like states,
	  use plain vanilla `int' as it's the type of choice in C.

	- For a limited number of bit flags use `unsigned' because signed
	  bit-wise operations are implementation-defined, i.e., unportable,
	  in C.

o For things that should be at least 64 bits wide, use long long
  and not int64_t, as the latter is an optional type.  See
  FTSENT.fts_number aka FTS.fts_bignum.  Extending fts_number `to
  satisfy future needs' is pointless because there is fts_pointer,
  which can be used to link to arbitrary data from an FTSENT.
  However, there already are fts(3) consumers that require fts_number,
  or fts_bignum, have at least 64 bits in it, so we must allow for them.

o For the tree depth, use `long'.  This is a trade-off between making
  this field too wide and allowing for 64-bit inode numbers and/or
  chain-mounted filesystems.  On the one hand, `long' is almost
  enough for 32-bit filesystems on a 32-bit platform (our ino_t is
  uint32_t now).  On the other hand, platforms with a 64-bit (or
  wider) `long' will be ready for 64-bit inode numbers, as well as
  for several 32-bit filesystems mounted one under another.  Note
  that fts_level has to be signed because -1 is a magic value for it,
  FTS_ROOTPARENTLEVEL.

o For the `nlinks' local var in fts_build(), use `long'.  The logic
  in fts_build() requires that `nlinks' be signed, but our nlink_t
  currently is uint16_t.  Therefore let's make the signed var wide
  enough to be able to represent 2^16-1 in pure C99, and even 2^32-1
  on a 64-bit platform.  Perhaps the logic should be changed just
  to use nlink_t, but it can be done later w/o breaking fts(3) ABI
  any more because `nlinks' is just a local var.

This commit also inludes supporting stuff for the fts change:

o Preserve the old versions of fts(3) functions through libc symbol
versioning because the old versions appeared in all our former releases.

o Bump __FreeBSD_version just in case.  There is a small chance that
some ill-written 3-rd party apps may fail to build or work correctly
if compiled after this change.

o Update the fts(3) manpage accordingly.  In particular, remove
references to fts_bignum, which was a FreeBSD-specific hack to work
around the too narrow types of FTSENT members.  Now fts_number is
at least 64 bits wide (long long) and fts_bignum is an undocumented
alias for fts_number kept around for compatibility reasons.  According
to Google Code Search, the only big consumers of fts_bignum are in
our own source tree, so they can be fixed easily to use fts_number.

o Mention the change in src/UPDATING.

This has the following benefits:
- allows to use the AT keyboard maps in share/syscons/keymaps with

- allows to use kbdmux(4) with sunkbd(4),
- allows Sun RS232 keyboards to be configured and used the same
  way as Sun USB keyboards driven by ukbd(4) (which also does AT
  keyboard emulation) with X.Org, putting an end to the problem
  of native support for the former in X.Org being broken over and

9ce0055163 Add ABI backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of
the PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was broken
with the introduction of PCI domain support.
As the size of struct pci_conf_io wasn't changed with that commit,
this unfortunately requires the ABI of PCIOCGETCONF to be broken

d60b8a3096 Make the PCI code aware of PCI domains (aka PCI segments) so we can
support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress.  Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO".  When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward

ffd77d9ba5 Import rewrite of IPv4 socket multicast layer to support source-specific
and protocol-independent host mode multicast. The code is written to
accomodate IPv6, IGMPv3 and MLDv2 with only a little additional work.

This change only pertains to FreeBSD's use as a multicast end-station and
does not concern multicast routing; for an IGMPv3/MLDv2 router
implementation, consider the XORP project.

The work is based on Wilbert de Graaf's IGMPv3 code drop for FreeBSD 4.6,
which is available at: http://www.kloosterhof.com/wilbert/igmpv3.html

Summary
 * IPv4 multicast socket processing is now moved out of ip_output.c
   into a new module, in_mcast.c.
 * The in_mcast.c module implements the IPv4 legacy any-source API in
   terms of the protocol-independent source-specific API.
 * Source filters are lazy allocated as the common case does not use them.
   They are part of per inpcb state and are covered by the inpcb lock.
 * struct ip_mreqn is now supported to allow applications to specify
   multicast joins by interface index in the legacy IPv4 any-source API.
 * In UDP, an incoming multicast datagram only requires that the source
   port matches the 4-tuple if the socket was already bound by source port.
   An unbound socket SHOULD be able to receive multicasts sent from an
   ephemeral source port.
 * The UDP socket multicast filter mode defaults to exclusive, that is,
   sources present in the per-socket list will be blocked from delivery.
 * The RFC 3678 userland functions have been added to libc: setsourcefilter,
   getsourcefilter, setipv4sourcefilter, getipv4sourcefilter.
 * Definitions for IGMPv3 are merged but not yet used.
 * struct sockaddr_storage is now referenced from <netinet/in.h>. It
   is therefore defined there if not already declared in the same way
   as for the C99 types.
 * The RFC 1724 hack (specify 0.0.0.0/8 addresses to IP_MULTICAST_IF
   which are then interpreted as interface indexes) is now deprecated.
 * A patch for the Rhyolite.com routed in the FreeBSD base system
   is available in the -net archives. This only affects individuals
   running RIPv1 or RIPv2 via point-to-point and/or unnumbered interfaces.
 * Make IPv6 detach path similar to IPv4's in code flow; functionally same.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700048; see UPDATING.

dac62e7ff2 Now pam_nologin(8) will provide an account management function
instead of an authentication function.  There are a design reason
and a practical reason for that.  First, the module belongs in
account management because it checks availability of the account
and does no authentication.  Second, there are existing and potential
PAM consumers that skip PAM authentication for good or for bad.
E.g., sshd(8) just prefers internal routines for public key auth;
OTOH, cron(8) and atrun(8) do implicit authentication when running
a job on behalf of its owner, so their inability to use PAM auth
is fundamental, but they can benefit from PAM account management.

Document this change in the manpage.

Modify /etc/pam.d files accordingly, so that pam_nologin.so is listed
under the "account" function class.

Bump __FreeBSD_version (mostly for ports, as this change should be
invisible to C code outside pam_nologin.)
