use-after-free over a longer time. Also release the backing pages of
a guarded allocation at free(9) time to reduce the overhead of using
memguard(9). Allow setting and varying the malloc type at run-time.
Add knobs to allow:
- randomly guarding memory
- adding un-backed KVA guard pages to detect underflow and overflow
- a lower limit on the size of allocations that are guarded

taskqueues, more than one task can be running simultaneously.
Also make taskqueue_run(9) static to the file, since there are no
consumers in the base kernel and the function signature needs to change
with this fix.
Remove mention of taskqueue_run(9) and taskqueue_run_fast(9) from the
taskqueue(9) man page.

- Fixed the interface probe routine to only attach to USB interfaces the driver
actually supports. This allows other drivers to attach to things like
MicroSD slots etc.
- Fixed network interface enumeration to be globally sequential instead of
relying on the USB interface numbers. This make sure the first network
interface always is at uhso0 and the second at usho1 and so on.
- Added a radio kill switch; exposed through sysctl.
- Updated the manual page to be verbose about the number of serial ports and
include iCON 452 in the set of tested hardware.

easy to find when just using rc.conf(5) as reference documentation.

numbers. This change adds a new function alloc_unr_specific() which
returns the requested unit number if it is free. If the number is
already allocated or out of the range, -1 is returned.
Update alloc_unr(9) manual page accordingly and add a MLINK for
alloc_unr_specific(9).

document one of the optional flags; clarify which of the flags are
optional (and which are not), and remove mention of a restriction on
the reclamation of cached pages that no longer holds since version 7.

FreeBSD. SIFTR logs a range of statistics on active TCP connections to a log
file, providing the ability to make highly granular measurements of TCP
connection state. The tool is aimed at system administrators, developers and
researchers alike. Please take it for a spin and test it out - the man page
should have all the information required to get you going.
