superblock has a check-hash error, an error message noting the
superblock check-hash failure is printed and the mount fails. The
administrator then runs fsck to repair the filesystem and when
successful, the filesystem can once again be mounted.
This approach fails if the filesystem in question is a root filesystem
from which you are trying to boot. Here, the loader fails when trying
to access the filesystem to get the kernel to boot. So it is necessary
to allow the loader to ignore the superblock check-hash error and make
a best effort to read the kernel. The filesystem may be suffiently
corrupted that the read attempt fails, but there is no harm in trying
since the loader makes no attempt to write to the filesystem.
Once the kernel is loaded and starts to run, it attempts to mount its
root filesystem. Once again, failure means that it breaks to its prompt
to ask where to get its root filesystem. Unless you have an alternate
root filesystem, you are stuck.
Since the root filesystem is initially mounted read-only, it is
safe to make an attempt to mount the root filesystem with the failed
superblock check-hash. Thus, when asked to mount a root filesystem
with a failed superblock check-hash, the kernel prints a warning
message that the root filesystem superblock check-hash needs repair,
but notes that it is ignoring the error and proceeding. It does
mark the filesystem as needing an fsck which prevents it from being
enabled for writing until fsck has been run on it. The net effect
is that the reboot fails to single user, but at least at that point
the administrator has the tools at hand to fix the problem.

Specifically reading is done if ffs_sbget() and writing is done
in ffs_sbput(). These functions are exported to libufs via the
sbget() and sbput() functions which then used in the various
filesystem utilities. This work is in preparation for adding
subperblock check hashes.
No functional change intended.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

Fix quotacheck to only skip accounting if the quota data file
actually resides on the filesystem being checked.

in fstab and they are normally mounted as /a/b, if /b is not mounted,
the various quota utilities will incorrectly operate with the quotas on
/a (silently) when operations are attemted on /b.
Sync up all the hasquota() routines between all the different
quota utilities and change it to detect if the file system we are
attempting to perform quota operations on is not currently mounted
and warn the user accordingly.

negative are now ignored by the quota system and that extremely
large ids may make quotacheck run for a very long time.
Also mention that "options QUOTA" is required for the kernel
to provide quota support.
1) Do not account for uids/gids that appear negative to prevent
the creation of 131GB+ quota files. This is the same as the kernel
now determines which files to provide quota accounting for.
Related to PR kern/38156. This should also prevent boots from
hanging if a negative uid appears in the file systems.
2) Do not count system files in the usage counts. These currently are
file system snapshot and quota data files. This is how the kernel
now handles those files.
3) Correctly generate new quota data files if the current files
do not exist or are zero length in size. PR kern/30958.
It should now be possible to newfs / mount / touch quota.{user,group}
and quotaon a file system and have everything work.
4) Change some diagnostics to report the file system and type of
id (uid or gid) that is being reported.
5) Truncate the quota data files if possible, instead of letting
them grow to a big enough size to hold the largest UID/GID on
the system (typically "nobody"). The kernel should now be able to
grow the files as needed without deadlocking the system.

filesystem is mounted by a new kernel. One of the unused flags in
fs_old_flags is used to indicate that the flags have been moved.
Leave the fs_old_flags word intact so that it will work properly if
used on an old kernel.
Change the fs_sblockloc superblock location field to be in units
of bytes instead of in units of filesystem fragments. The old units
did not work properly when the fragment size exceeeded the superblock

the flags are moved.
