RTC state, then it may clobber the RTC index register, so the index
register must be restored before using it to restore control registers
in rtc_restore().
The following problems remain:
- rtc_restore() is only called if pmtimer is configured. Buggy
suspend/resumes are more likely to clobber the index register than
a control register, so pmtimer is more needed than it used to be.
- pmtimer doesn't exist for amd64.
- Restoring of the RTC state may race with rtcintr(). If an RTC
interrupt is handled before the state is restored, then rtcin(RTC_INTR)
in rtcintr() may read from the wrong register, so rtcintr() may spin
forever. This may be mitigated by the most common state clobbering
being to turn off RTC interrupts.
system calls now enter without Giant held, and then in some cases, acquire
Giant explicitly.
Remove a number of other MPSAFE annotations in the credential code and
tweak one or two other adjacent comments.
Add some comments to explain how 10 was picked. 20 was completely
arbitrary, at least 10 has some reasoning behind it.
Also, update the comments about how long we sleep to reflect the new,
shorter timeout we use.
behind _FREEFALL_CONFIG). This is done mainly to make NIS even more
resistant to packet loss.
This is not enabled by default for "normal" FreeBSD since it might cause
the server providing the RPC service to be hit heavily with RPC traffic
in case of problems. freefall.FreeBSD.org and hub.FreeBSD.org have been
running with a patch similar to this for a couple of weeks.

- Remove unnecessary findcpuspeed() function.
- Initialize the timer_freq in i8254_init().
- Fix inittodr() and resettodr(). These are broken by rev.1.154.
packet loss when talking to a NIS server.
- Set 1 second retry timeout to further realistically handle UDP
packet loss for yp_next packet bursts. If the packet hasn't come
back within 1 second its rather unlikely to come back at all. There
is still back-off mechanism in RPC so if there is another reason
than packet loss for the lack of response within 1 second, the NIS
server will not be totally bombarded with requests.
This reduces the risk of NIS failing with:
yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
considerably. This is mainly a problem if you have larger NIS maps
(like at FreeBSD.org) since enumerations of the lists will cause a UDP
packet bursts where a few packets being lost once in a while do
happen.

If these drivers are setting M_VLANTAG because they are stripping the
layer 2 802.1Q headers, then they need to be re-inserting them so any
bpf(4) peers can properly decode them.
It should be noted that this is compiled tested only.

* libarchive_test program exercises many of the core features
* Refactored old "read_extract" into new "archive_write_disk", which
uses archive_write methods to put entries onto disk. In particular,
you can now use archive_write_disk to create objects on disk
without having an archive available.
* Pushed some security checks from bsdtar down into libarchive, where
they can be better optimized.
* Rearchitected the logic for creating objects on disk to reduce
the number of system calls. Several common cases now use a
minimum number of system calls.
* Virtualized some internal interfaces to provide a clearer separation
of read and write handling and make it simpler to override key
methods.
* New "empty" format reader.
* Corrected return types (this ABI breakage required the "2.0" version bump)
* Many bug fixes.
Include /var/db/entropy-file in the reseeding if present. It is used for
last-ditch efforts to save entropy and thus should also be used to seed
the RNG when starting. Print a warning instead of an error if writing the
file fails -- err() exits, preventing the umask from being restored.
Also, since there's not much that can be done about it, notifying the user
is all that's needed.
