8015f45cdf Note change in the supported upgrade path. Prior to this 5.3-release
and newer were supported upgrade paths to -current.  After today's
commits, 6.0-RELEASE and newer is supported for jumping to current.
Make that clear in the UPDATING entry.  For the pedants out there,
upgrading from FreeBSD_version 600029 and newer should still work.
This represents a point from May 29, 2005 forward.  The prior date was
October 16th 2004.

e393af8462 Let sunkbd(4) emulate an AT keyboard by default.
This has the following benefits:
- allows to use the AT keyboard maps in share/syscons/keymaps with
  sunkbd(4),
- 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
  over again.

33d3fffa90 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
again in order to be able to provide backwards compatibility to
the old version of that IOCTL.

55aaf894e8 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.

/etc/rc.d/sendmail whether or not to run newaliases if the database
is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db.

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

71498f308b 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.

This work was financially supported by another FreeBSD committer.

9cd40e64b4 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.)

d092c06c3a Retire most of the classful network behaviour of netstat -r output, for IPv4.
Without -n, we now only print a "network name" without the prefix length
 under the following conditions:
  1) the network address and mask matches a classful network prefix;
  2) getnetbyaddr(3) returns a network name for this network address.

 With -n, we unconditionally print the full unabbreviated CIDR network
 prefix in the form "a.b.c.d/p". 0.0.0.0/0 is still printed as "default".

This change is in preparation for changes such as equal-cost multipath, and
to more generally assist operational deployment of FreeBSD as a modern IPv4
router. There are currently no plans to backport this change.

a580b31a54 Welcome to Once-a-year Sound Mega-Commit. Enjoy numerous updates and fixes
in every sense.

General
-------

- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
   * Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
     feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
     using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
     endian.
   * Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
     the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
   * Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
     but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.

- Low latency operation
  * Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
    but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
    channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
    combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
    SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
    to what commercial 4front driver do.
  * Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
    result long delay.
  * Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
    DIY:
      1) Download / extract
         http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
      2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
         "for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
         - there should be no "perceivable" differences.
    Double close for PR kern/31445.

  CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
          written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
	  by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.
	  Fixup samples/patches can be found at:
	  http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ports/

- Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42)
  due to closer compatibility with 4front driver.
  Discussed with: marcus@ (long time ago?)

- All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been
  moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably:
  hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans
  Bump __FreeBSD_version.

Driver specific
---------------

- Ditto for sysctls.

- snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda
  * Numerous cleanups and fixes.
  * _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme.
   This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven
   good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared
   IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through
   dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default.

- snd_ich
  * Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final
    initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished.
