jails since FreeBSD 7.
Along with the system call, put the various security.jail.allow_foo and
security.jail.foo_allowed sysctls partly under COMPAT_FREEBSD11 (or
BURN_BRIDGES). These sysctls had two disparate uses: on the system side,
they were global permissions for jails created via jail(2) which lacked
fine-grained permission controls; inside a jail, they're read-only
descriptions of what the current jail is allowed to do. The first use
is obsolete along with jail(2), but keep them for the second-read-only use.

Create loader_{4th,lua,simp}{,.efi}. All of these are installed by
default. Create LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP to specify the default
interpreter when no other is specified. LOADER_INTERP is the current
interpreter language building. Turn building of lua on by default to
match 4th. simploader is a simplified loader build w/o any interpreter
language (but with a simple loader). This is the historic behavir you
got with WITHOUT_FORTH. Make a hard link to the default loader. This
has to be a hard link rather than the more desirable soft link because
older zfsboot blocks don't support symlinks.

BPF (eBPF) is an independent instruction set architecture which is
introduced in Linux a few years ago. Originally, eBPF execute
environment was only inside Linux kernel. However, recent years there
are some user space implementation (https://github.com/iovisor/ubpf,
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/bpf_lib.html) and kernel space
implementation for FreeBSD is going on
(https://github.com/YutaroHayakawa/generic-ebpf).
The BPF target support can be enabled using WITH_LLVM_TARGET_BPF, as it
is not built by default.

We use ps to collect the information of all processes in textdump. But
it doesn't contain process arguments which however sometimes are very
useful for debugging. The new 'a' modifier adds that capability.
While here, remove 'm' modifier from ddb.4. It was in the manual page
from its very first revision, but I could not find any evidence of the

Currently, the per-queue limit is a function of the receive buffer
size and the MSS. In certain cases (such as connections with large
receive buffers), the per-queue segment limit can be quite large.
Because we process segments as a linked list, large queues may not
perform acceptably.
The better long-term solution is to make the queue more efficient.
But, in the short-term, we can provide a way for a system
administrator to set the maximum queue size.
We set the default queue limit to 100. This is an effort to balance
performance with a sane resource limit. Depending on their
environment, goals, etc., an administrator may choose to modify this
limit in either direction.

Add the ioctl PCIOCBARMMAP on /dev/pci to conveniently create
userspace mapping of a PCI device BAR. This is enormously superior to
read the BAR value with PCIOCREAD and then try to mmap /dev/mem, and
should allow to automatically activate the mapped BARs when needed in
future.
Current implementation creates new sg pager for each user mmap
request. If the pointer (and reference) to a managed device pager is
stored in pci_map, we would be able to revoke all mappings on the BAR
deactivation or relocation. This is related to the unimplemented BAR
activation on mmap, and is postponed for the future.

The timespecadd(3) family of macros were imported from NetBSD back in
r35029. However, they were initially guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL. In the
meantime, we have grown at least 28 syscalls that use timespecs in some
way, leading many programs both inside and outside of the base system to
redefine those macros. It's better just to make the definitions public.
Our kernel currently defines two-argument versions of timespecadd and
timespecsub. NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeDesktop.org's libbsd, however, define
three-argument versions. Solaris also defines a three-argument version, but
only in its kernel. This revision changes our definition to match the
common three-argument version.
Bump _FreeBSD_version due to the breaking KPI change.

By default ld.lld should be the bootstrap linker (only) on i386 right

Akin to r327783 for amd64. lld has been usable for amd64 for quite some
time, but a couple of issues remained that affected i386. These were
recently addressed upstream in lld and merged into FreeBSD or addressed
directly in FreeBSD (r326831, r326879, r326897, r326957, r333401,
r334626, r336664).
Similarly to the intial amd64 commit this change enables lld only as the
bootstrap linker (used to link the kernel and userland libraries and
executables), while GNU ld.bfd is still installed as /usr/bin/ld and
used for ports builds. That will be changed shortly, after an exp-run.
This is a recommit of r327823 after additional lld fixes.
