This adds HardenedBSD which is a pseudo-fork of FreeBSD. It hasn't had a
release yet, but does does have active users and a community. As such
document it as a branch off of FreeBSD-stable. Ideally this adds enough
space so that future releases are easy enough to add.
filesystem larger than about 50-55 MiB.
The description of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE is roughly as hand-wavy as my
understanding of the option, but at least mentioning that it's a factor
and giving an empirical datapoint that works will give folks some idea
of what to tweak if they have problems.
new clang 6.0.0 -Wtautological-constant-compare warning to the WARNS <=
6 level. (This warning is still being worked on upstream to reduce
false positives, but it is currently still too trigger happy.)
MD_READONLY flag for the md device automatically instantiated during
kernel init for an mdroot filesystem.
Note that there is specifically and by design no tunable or sysctl
control over this feature. Without this option, you already have control
over whether the mdroot fs is writeable using vfs.root.mountfrom.options
from loader(8), the root_rw_mount rcvar, and by using "mount -u[rw] /"
or equivelent on the fly. This option is being added to provide a way
to make the mdroot fs truly immutable before userland code begins running.

Several checks assume .CURDIR is resolved, such as for determining RELDIR from
SRCTOP/.CURDIR. If -C is used then the path is no longer resolved like it was
before which is problematic for symlinked source trees. A similar change was
also made to ports post bmake-20170301.
This fixes 'make -C <symlinked path> buildworld' using the wrong OBJDIR.

This will cause an error if the wanted OBJDIR is not writable. Previously it
would cause the files to generate to the source tree. This was too obscure and
things like buildworld really expect a proper OBJDIR layout.

This change adds an implementation of a sysent for running CloudABI
armv6 and armv7 binaries on FreeBSD/arm64. It is a somewhat literal copy
of the armv6 version, except that it's been patched up to use the proper
registers.
Just like for cloudabi32.ko on FreeBSD/amd64, we make use of a vDSO that
automatically pads system call parameters to 64-bit value. These are
stored in a buffer on the stack, meaning we need to use copyin() and
copyout() unconditionally.
