The d_off field has been added to the dirent structure recently.
Currently filesystems don't support this feature. Support has been
added and tested for zfs, ufs, ext2fs, fdescfs, msdosfs and unionfs.
A stub implementation is available for cd9660, nandfs, udf and
pseudofs but hasn't been tested.
Motivation for this feature: our usecase is for a userspace nfs server
(nfs-ganesha) with zfs. At the moment we cache direntry offsets by
calling lseek once per entry, with this patch we can get the offset
directly from getdirentries(2) calls which provides a significant
speedup.

You should not be using DES. You should not have been using DES for the
past 30 years.
The ed DES-CBC scheme lacked several desirable properties of a sealed
document system, even ignoring DES itself. In particular, it did not
provide the "integrity" cryptographic property (detection of tampering), and
it treated ASCII passwords as 64-bit keys (instead of using a KDF like
scrypt or PBKDF2).
Some general approaches ed(1) users might consider to replace the removed
DES mode:
1. Full disk encryption with something like AES-XTS. This is easy to
conceptualize, design, and implement, and it provides confidentiality for
data at rest. Like CBC, it lacks tampering protection. Examples include
GELI, LUKS, FileVault2.
2. Encrypted overlay ("stackable") filesystems (EncFS, PEFS?, CryptoFS,
others).
3. Native encryption at the filesystem layer. Ext4/F2FS, ZFS, APFS, and
NTFS all have some flavor of this.
4. Storing your files unencrypted. It's not like DES was doing you much
good.
If you have DES-CBC scrambled files produced by ed(1) prior to this change,
you may decrypt them with:
openssl des-cbc -d -iv 0 -K <key in hex> -in <inputfile> -out <plaintext>

In the last decade(s) we have seen both short term or long term projects
committed to the tree which were considered or even marked "experimental".
While out-of-tree development has become easier than it used to be in
CVS times, there still is a need to have the code shipping with HEAD but
not enabled by default.
While people may think about VIMAGE as one of the recent larger, long term
projects, early protocol implementations (before they are standardised)
are others. (Free)BSD historically was one of the operating systems
which would have running code at early stages and help develop and
influence standardisation and the industry.
Give developers an opportunity to be more pro-active for early adoption
or running large scale code changes stumbling over each others but not
the user's feet. I have not added the option to NOTES in order to avoid
breaking supported option builds, which require constant compile testing.

BPF (eBPF) is an independent instruction set architecture which is
introduced in Linux a few years ago. Originally, eBPF execute
environment was only inside Linux kernel. However, recent years there
are some user space implementation (https://github.com/iovisor/ubpf,
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/bpf_lib.html) and kernel space
implementation for FreeBSD is going on
(https://github.com/YutaroHayakawa/generic-ebpf).
The BPF target support can be enabled using WITH_LLVM_TARGET_BPF, as it
is not built by default.

Some section-4 manpages are architecture-specific, and the build process
currently generates only the pages for the MACHINE_CPUARCH being built.
man(1) supports a '-m' option to find manpages belonging to an arbitrary
architecture other than the MACHINE_[CPU]ARCH, but we have no way to
generate and install alternate-arch pages right now.
This change adds a new make.conf variable, MAN_ARCH, which can be a list of
one or more MACHINE_ARCH or MACHINE_CPUARCH values. All arch-specific
manpages that exist for the named arches will be installed. If unset, it
continues the behavior of installing just the MACHINE_CPUARCH being built.

This is helpful when the providers being attached are not used for boot,

Normally pf rules are expected to do one of two things: pass the traffic or
block it. Blocking can be silent - "drop", or loud - "return", "return-rst",
"return-icmp". Yet there is a 3rd category of traffic passing through pf:
Packets matching a "pass" rule but when applying the rule fails. This happens
when redirection table is empty or when src node or state creation fails. Such
rules always fail silently without notifying the sender.
Allow users to configure this behaviour too, so that pf returns an error packet
in these cases.

This makes it possible, through src.conf(5) settings, to select which
LLVM targets you want to build during buildworld. The current list is:
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_AARCH64
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_ARM
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_MIPS
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_POWERPC
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_SPARC
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_X86
To not influence anything right now, all of these are on by default, in
situations where clang is enabled.
Selectively turning a few targets off manually should work. Turning on
only one target should work too, even if that target does not correspond
to the build architecture. (In that case, LLVM_NATIVE_ARCH will not be
defined, and you can only use the resulting clang executable for
cross-compiling.)
I performed a few measurements on one of the FreeBSD.org reference
machines, building clang from scratch, with all targets enabled, and
with only the x86 target enabled. The latter was ~12% faster in real
time (on a 32-core box), and ~14% faster in user time. For a full
buildworld the difference will probably be less pronounced, though.
