VSS stands for "Volume Shadow Copy Service". Unlike virtual machine
snapshot, it only takes snapshot for the virtual disks, so both
filesystem and applications have to aware of it, and cooperate the
whole VSS process.
This driver exposes two device files to the userland:
/dev/hv_fsvss_dev
Normally userland programs should _not_ mess with this device file.
It is currently used by the hv_vss_daemon(8), which freezes and
thaws the filesystem. NOTE: currently only UFS is supported, if
the system mounts _any_ other filesystems, the hv_vss_daemon(8)
will veto the VSS process.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was disabled, then this device file must be
opened, and proper ioctls must be issued to keep the VSS working.
/dev/hv_appvss_dev
Userland application can opened this device file to receive the
VSS freeze notification, hold the VSS for a while (mainly to flush
application data to filesystem), release the VSS process, and
receive the VSS thaw notification i.e. applications can run again.
The VSS will still work, even if this device file is not opened.
However, only filesystem consistency is promised, if this device
file is not opened or is not operated properly.
hv_vss_daemon(8) is started by devd(8) by default. It can be disabled
by editting /etc/devd/hyperv.conf.

libzfs_core provides a rather limited but committed (stable) interface
for working with ZFS. We install libzfs_core shared library but we do
not install header files required for developing programs that use
the library. This change is to install the required header files
libzfs_core.h, libnvpair.h and sys/nvpair.h.
The headers are installed into the same locations as on illumos.

that can be compiled on various OSes (including on older versions
of FreeBSD), make it possible to have it include the partitioning
scheme definitions without pulling in FreeBSD specifics.
In particular this means:
o move the scheme definitions iand related defines to header files
under sys/disk,
o make them (more) portable by using uint#_t (where applicable)
and renaming defines so that they at least have a good prefix,
o make the new headers stand-alone so that they don't need FreeBSD
definitions, like struct uuid(*)
o keep the original headers for compatibility, but rewrite them to
get the scheme definitions from <sys/disk/$scheme.h>.
(*) since UUID/GUID type definitions are non-portable and the GPT
scheme uses them, make it possible to have the scheme definitions
use an external type by allowing consumers of the header to set
GPT_UUID_TYPE. When GPT_UUID_TYPE has not been defined, the header
will use it's own type definition, which is the same as struct uuid.
The gpt_uuid_t typedef is created to abstract the details and allows
consumers to refer to a single type.
There is not conflict between the partitioning scheme headers and
what is defined in them. All headers can be included in the same
source files.
Note: consumers of the old headers have not been changed yet. Such
will be done if and when needed/beneficial.

evdev is a generic input event interface compatible with Linux
evdev API at ioctl level. It allows using unmodified (apart from
header name) input evdev drivers in Xorg, Wayland, Qt.
This commit has only generic kernel API. evdev support for individual
hardware drivers like ukbd, ums, atkbd, etc. will be committed later.
Project was started by Jakub Klama as part of GSoC 2014. Jakub's
evdev implementation was later used as a base, updated and finished
by Vladimir Kondratiev.

Using a cookie with meta mode causes it to *not rerun* (as normal make
does) unless the command changes or filemon-detected files change.
After all of the work done here it turns out that skipping installation
is dangerous since the install commands use <dir>/*.h. The actual build
command is not changing but the files installed are changing by the mere
act of adding a new header into the source tree. Thus we cannot safely
use meta mode logic here. It must always rerun and install the headers.
The install -C flag at least prevents churning timestamps when
installing a header that was already present.

This file is using stage-install, so all of the .dirdep files

Because of how osreldate.h was being built with newvers.sh, which always
spat out a vers.c dependent on SVN or git, the meta mode build was
considering osreldate.h to depend on the current git or SVN index. This
would lead to entire tree rebuilds when modifying git's index. There's
no reason to be generating vers.c here so just skip it.
While here, in mk-osreldate.sh rename PARAM_H to proper PARAMFILE (which
newvers.sh already has a default for) and remove unneeded export.

The _SKIP_BUILD is used while computing DIRDEPS. If MACHINE=host is passed in
then this logic was replacing 'MACHINE' with a literal value of the host arch,
which then caused the dirdeps graph to be wrong since it no longer had the
literal 'host' for any of include's dependencies.
This is a NOP currently since include/ is not usually built with MACHINE=host.

In some cases, TSC is broken and special applications might benefit
from memory mapping HPET and reading the registers to count time.
Most often the main HPET counter is 32-bit only[1], so this only gives
the application a 300 second window based on the default HPET
interval.
Other applications, such as Intel's DPDK, expect /dev/hpet to be
present and use it to count time as well.
Although we have an almost userland version of gettimeofday() which
uses rdtsc in userland, it's not always possible to use it, depending
on how broken the multi-socket hardware is.
Install the acpi_hpet.h so that applications can use the HPET register
definitions.
[1] I haven't found a system where HPET's main counter uses more than
32 bit. There seems to be a discrepancy in the Intel documentation
(claiming it's a 64-bit counter) and the actual implementation (a
32-bit counter in a 64-bit memory area).

The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs kernel functionality which
is exposed through /dev/cuse . In order to function the CUSE kernel
code must either be enabled in the kernel configuration file or loaded
separately as a module. Currently none of the committed items are
connected to the default builds, except for installing the needed
header files. The CUSE code will be connected to the default world and
kernel builds in a follow-up commit.
The CUSE module was written by Hans Petter Selasky, somewhat inspired
by similar functionality found in FUSE. The CUSE library can be used
for many purposes. Currently CUSE is used when running Linux kernel
drivers in user-space, which need to create a character device node to
communicate with its applications. CUSE has full support for almost
all devfs functionality found in the kernel:
- kevents
- read
- write
- ioctl
- poll
- open
- close
- mmap
- private per file handle data

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
