FFLAG_NEEDSYNC and fsync the file when select() next returns zero. This
dramatically speeds up the process of logging large amounts of data, while
leaving the essential semantics (that data can be expected to be on disk
if we crash) unchanged.
In my tests, this speeds up the rc phase of booting by 18-20%. [1]

This could cause a segfault under -neworder if newsyslog had to rotate
multiple files, and later ones had specifed the 'N' flag.

files to rotate. The new order will first rotate all files that need
to be rotated, and then send a single signal to each process which
needs to be signaled, and finally it will compress all the files which
were rotated.
This means daemons will be signaled once per run of newsyslog, instead
of once per file rotated. Also, files will be compressed in order of
file-size (smallest to largest). Also, it waits for each file to be
completely compressed before starting the next one (effectively as if
the 'w' flag is specified for all entries in newsyslog.conf). This
avoids the situation of having 10 gzip's going at the same time (each
with a log.0 and a log.0.gz file active), and it also means that file
attributes can be reliably set on files after they are compressed.
NOTE: This commit does define NEWORDER (which you could get rid of if
you really don't trust this), but it does not flip the "-D neworder"
switch. So, at the moment none of these changes happen unless you
request them (perhaps by adding '<debug> neworder' in newsyslog.conf).

These should not effect any users. Most of these probably look
pointless, but they are the "insignificant parts" of a much larger

should get rid of a few subtle situations where an existing log

about the risks of enabling raw sockets in prisons.
Because raw sockets can be used to configure and interact
with various network subsystems, extra caution should be
used where privileged access to jails is given out to
untrusted parties. As such, by default this option is disabled.
A few others and I are currently auditing the kernel
source code to ensure that the use of raw sockets by
privledged prison users is safe.
