Existing scripts and associated config such as rc.initdiskless, rc.d/var,
and others, use mdmfs to create memory filesystems. That program accepts a
size argument which allows SI suffixes and treats an unsuffixed number as a
count of 512 byte sectors. That makes it difficult to convert existing
scripts to use tmpfs instead of mdmfs, because tmpfs treats unsuffixed
numbers as a count of bytes. The script logic to deal with existing user
config that might include suffixed and unsuffixed numbers is... unpleasant.
Also, there is no g'tee that tmpfs will be available. It is sometimes
configured out of small-resource embedded systems to save memory and flash
storage space.
These changes enhance mdmfs(8) so that it accepts two new values for the
'md-device' arg: 'tmpfs' and 'auto'. With tmpfs, the program always uses
tmpfs(5) (and fails if it's not available). With 'auto' the program prefers
tmpfs, but falls back to using md(4) if tmpfs isn't available. It also
handles the -s <size> argument so that the mdconfig interpetation of
unsuffixed numbers applies when tmpfs is used as well, so that existing user
config keeps working after a switch to tmpfs.
A new rc setting, mfs_type, is added to etc/defaults/rc.conf to let users
force the use of tmpfs or md; the default value is "auto".

When /etc/rc runs all /etc/rc.d scripts, it has already loaded /etc/rc.subr
but each /etc/rc.d script sources it again (since /etc/rc.d scripts must
also work when started stand-alone).
Therefore, if rc.subr is already loaded, return so sh need not parse the
rest of the file.
A second effect is that there is no longer a compound command around most of
rc.subr. This reduces memory usage while sh is loading rc.subr for the first
time (but this memory is free()d once rc.subr is loaded).
For purposes of porting this to other systems, I do not recommend porting
this to systems with shells that do not have the change to the return
special builtin like in r255215 (before FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE). This change
ensures that return in the top level of a dot script returns from the dot
script, even if the dot script was sourced from a function.

Currently rc scripts implementing their own start_cmd do not enjoy the
benefits of rc.subr's own check for rc_pid.
This leads to around a third of ports with such a start_cmd not to check for
the process at all and two thirds of ports to re-implement this check
(sometimes wrongly).
This patch moves the check for rc_pid to before ${rc_arg}_cmd is executed.

It defines a variable and its default value in load_rc_config() just after
rc.conf is loaded. "rcvar" command shows the current and the default values.
This is an attempt to solve a problem that rc.d scripts from third-party
software do not have entries in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. The fact that
load_rc_config() reads rc.conf only once and /etc/rc invokes the function
before running rc.d scripts made developers confused for a long time because
load_rc_config() just before run_rc_command() in each rc.d script overrides
variables only when the script is directly invoked, not from /etc/rc.
Variables defined in set_rcvar are always set in load_rc_config() after
loading rc.conf. An rc.d script can now be written in a self-contained
manner regarding the related variables as follows:
---
name=foo
rcvar=foo_enable
set_rcvar foo_enable YES "Enable $name"
set_rcvar foo_flags "-s" "Flags to $name"
...
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$@"
---
The following warnings were displayed:
sysctl: net.inet.ip.sourceroute=0: Operation not permitted
sysctl: net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute=0: Operation not permitted
particularly useful for services such as "network" (netif) where each
interface can now have its own separate configuration file.
Add /etc/rc.conf.d to the mtree file so it is always present.

generates a configuration suitable for running unbound as a caching
forwarding resolver, and configures resolvconf(8) to update unbound's
list of forwarders in addition to /etc/resolv.conf. The initial list
is taken from the existing resolv.conf, which is rewritten to point to
localhost. Alternatively, a list of forwarders can be provided on the
command line.
To assist this script, add an rc.subr command called "enabled" which
does nothing except return 0 if the service is enabled and 1 if it is
not, without going through the usual checks. We should consider doing
the same for "status", which is currently pointless.
Add an rc script for unbound, called local_unbound. If there is no
configuration file, the rc script runs local-unbound-setup to generate
one.
Note that these scripts place the unbound configuration files in
/var/unbound rather than /etc/unbound. This is necessary so that
unbound can reload its configuration while chrooted. We should
probably provide symlinks in /etc.

1. Add new functionality to the force_depend method to incorporate the
tests for whether the service is enabled and/or already running.
2. Add a new option to bypass checking only that the service is enabled
at boot time, and always check if it is running.
3. Use this new functionality to greatly simplify the rc.d scripts that
use force_depend.
4. Add a force_depend for statd in lockd
5. Remove the check that either nfs_server or nfs_client is _enable'd
from statd and lockd. This was always overkill, and prevented using

Ideas, suggestions, and/or review from delphij and jilles.
Pointy hats are completely my responsibility however.
The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
Document the current semantics of the 'quiet' command prefix
in the rc.subr(8).
Fix dhclient rc.d script: it should not call err() for
non-DHCP-enabled interface when it is called from devd, because the
latter just blindly calls 'service dhclient quietstart' on each "link
up" event.
Since the 'quietstart' will silence the message "Cannot 'start' <foo>.
Set <foo>_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of
'start'." and running dhclient on the non-DHCP-enabled interface is
the same thing as running the service <foo> without <foo>_enable set,
such modification is in sync with the current semantics of the 'quiet'
prefix.
