BOOT_TAG lived shortly in sys/msgbuf.h, but this wasn't necessarily great
for changing it or removing it. Move it into subr_prf.c and add options for
it to opt_printf.h.
One can specify both the BOOT_TAG and BOOT_TAG_SZ (really, size of the
buffer that holds the BOOT_TAG). We expose it as kern.boot_tag and also add
a loader tunable by the same name that we'll fetch upon initialization of
the msgbuf.
This allows for flexibility and also ensures that there's a consistent way
to figure out the boot tag of the running kernel, rather than relying on
headers to be in-sync.

9102 zfs should be able to initialize storage devices
The first access to a disk block can incur a performance penalty on some
platforms (e.g. AWS's EBS, VMware VMDKs). Therefore it is recommended that
volumes be "thick provisioned", where supported by the platform (VMware).
Thick provisioning is time consuming and often is ignored. If the thick
provision step is omitted, customers will see suboptimal performance until
we have written to all parts of the LUN. ZFS should be able to initialize
any unused storage to remove any first-write penalty that exists.

similar. The OLD XSCALE stuff hasn't been useful in a while. The
original committer (cognet@) was the only one that had boards for
it. He's blessed this removal. Newer XSCALE (GUMSTIX) is for hardware
that's quite old. After discussion on arm@, it was clear there was no

Code analysis and runtime analysis using truss(8) indicate that the only
privileged operations performed by ntpd are adjusting system time, and
(re-)binding to privileged UDP port 123. These changes add a new mac(4)
policy module, mac_ntpd(4), which grants just those privileges to any
process running with uid 123.
This also adds a new user and group, ntpd:ntpd, (uid:gid 123:123), and makes
them the owner of the /var/db/ntp directory, so that it can be used as a
location where the non-privileged daemon can write files such as the
driftfile, and any optional logfile or stats files.
Because there are so many ways to configure ntpd, the question of how to
configure it to run without root privs can be a bit complex, so that will be
addressed in a separate commit. These changes are just what's required to
grant the limited subset of privs to ntpd, and the small change to ntpd to
prevent it from exiting with an error if running as non-root.

VERSREQ < 7.+ physically will not work with new config(8) due to major bump,
which is why I bumped it in the first place... Back to the original version
config-generated hints.c/env.c from r335998 and later are incompatible with
earlier kernels due to no longer setting envmode/hintmode. A minor bump for
this is insufficient, as matching major version with a later minor version
is still viewed as backwards-compatible.
This was an MI kernel change, soo all VERSREQ's are bumped.
The armv8crypto module includes arm_neon.h for the compiler intrinsic
functions. This includes the userland stdint.h file that doesn't exist in
the kernel. Fix this by providing an empty stdint.h to be used when we
include arm_neon.h.

to it being a common name elsewhere. Rename the old kzip one

This actually fixes the build issues on sparc64 that my inclusion of
.PATH ${SYSDIR}/kern created in r336244, so also revert the broken
workaround I committed in r336249.
This slipped passed me because apparently, I never did a clean build.
boot_parse_arg to parse a single arg
boot_parse_cmdline to parse a command line string
boot_parse_args to parse all the args in a vector
boot_howto_to_env Convert howto bits to env vars
boot_env_to_howto Return howto mask mased on what's set in the environment.
All these routines return an int that's the bitmask of the args
translated to RB_* flags. As a special case, the 'S' flag sets the
comconsole_speed env var. Any arg that looks like a=b will set the env
key 'a' to value 'b'. If =b is omitted, 'a' is set to '1'. This
should help us reduce the number of redundant copies of these routines
in the tree. It should also give a more uniform experience between
platforms.
Also, invent a new flag RB_PROBE that's set when 'P' is parsed. On
x86 + BIOS, this means 'probe for the keyboard, and if it's not there
set both RB_MULTIPLE and RB_SERIAL (which means show the output on
both video and serial consoles, but make serial primary). Others it
may be some similar concept of probing, but it's loader dependent
what, exactly, it means.
These routines are suitable for /boot/loader and/or the kernel,
though they may not be suitable for the tightly hand-rolled-for-space
environments like boot2.

It looks like the intent was to allow ZSTD support to be
compiled into the kernel with options ZSTDIO. But it doesn't look
like that was ever implemented or I'm missing how to do it.
I did a cursory audit of kernel config files and made a decision to
enable ZSTDIO in riscv GENERIC and mips MALTA configurations. All other
kernel configurations already had this option in their kernel configs
but they didn't do anything useful as the feature was declared as
"standard" prior to this.

The old mkdep method also lacked tracking these files.
Objects defined in sys/conf/files with no-obj and no-implicit-rule get their
own targets defined in the kernel Makefile but lack having their objects added
to DEPENDOBJS so never get a .depend file generated. Normally if an object is
in OBJS it will get a .depend file.
Fix this by looking for .o files in CLEAN and ensuring they are part of
the -MD filtering and .depend loading. This is a hack. Other solutions
could exist involving sys/conf/files or config(8) to auto add these to
DEPENDFILES/DEPENDOBJS but this method seems reliable enough without being
intrusive or error-prone for new files.

Avoid pulling in all of the <sys/proc.h> dependencies by
automatically generating a stripped down thread_lite exporting
only the fields of interest. The field declarations are type checked
against the original and the offsets of the generated result is
automatically checked.
kib has expressed disagreement and would have preferred to simply
use genassym style offsets (which loses type check enforcement).
jhb has expressed dislike of it due to header pollution and a
duplicate structure. He would have preferred to just have defined
thread in _thread.h. Nonetheless, he admits that this is the only
viable solution at the moment.
The impetus for this came from mjg's D15331:

Previously newvers.sh passed --work-tree=${VCSDIR}/.. when invoking git.
When using git worktree .git is actually a file, not a directory, and
.git/.. is not a valid path. Although it appears git handles this
internally (perhaps it normalizes the path first), it is simple enough
for the script to store both the working tree top-level directory and
the VCS (.git) directory, so do so.

SDHOST is another SD controller that is present on Raspberry Pi (the
other one is SDHC and handled by bcm2835_sdhci driver). Both
controllers are capable of providing interface to SD card, actual
configuration can be set in dtb file. At the moment custom DTBs for
RPi/RPi2 have sdhost node disabled. On RPi3 sdhost is disabled in
snapshot images by applying mmc.dtbo overlay. To enalbe both devices
user has to edit config.txt on FAT partition and remove or comment
"dtoverlay=mmc" line.
When no overlay applied on RPi3 SDHOST controls SD card and SDHC
interface can be used for SDIO. mmc.dtbo overlay disables SDHOST node
and switches SD card over to SDHC. Likewise sdhost.dtbo overlay (not
currently included in snapshot image, but can be obtained from firmare
repo[1]) disabled SDHC node and switch SD card over to SDHOST.
