file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.
The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.
The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.
We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.

This brings our implementation in line with OSS specification for
systems that support mmap. The change should also improve compatibility
with OSS software not specifically written for FreeBSD, e.g. PulseAudio
OSS plugin.

configuration files.
If the current file differs from the canonical version from the old release
only due to differences in the $FreeBSD$ tag (which can happen if the system
was installed from source code, depending on how the src tree was checked out)
then freebsd-update will treat the file as "unmodified" and silently update
it to the "clean" version in the new release.
If the only change being made to a configuration file is in the $FreeBSD$
tag (e.g., for any configuration files which have been modified locally, now
that we're using SVN and the $FreeBSD$ tag changes when a branch is created),
freebsd-update will no longer print the diff and prompt "Does this look
reasonable (y/n)?".

environments.
In setups where NF calibration can take a while, don't load the CCA
and kick off a new NF calibration if the previous one hasn't yet
completed. This shouldn't happen unless the environment is noisy but
those exist (hi phk!).
Here, if the previous NF hasn't completed when ar5416LoadNf() is run
(which reads the NF), it skips updating the history buffer, loading
the NF CCA array and kicking off the next NF cal. It's hoped it'll
occur in the next long calibration interval.

This is taking quite a while for some people in some situations
(eg AR5418 in phk's Abusive Radio Environment).
Instead, the rest of the calibration related code should
ensure that a NF calibration has occured before reading NF
values and kicking off another NF calibration.
The channel should also likely be marked as "noisy" (CWINT)
if the NF calibration takes too long.

Note Kite 1.0 and 1.1 were prototypes that shouldn't be seen
in the wild. Linux ath9k simply removed the prototype code from
their codebase. I'm going to leave it in there for now but
make it conditionally compilable in the future.

newer controllers. However, all data sheet I have access has no
indication that buffer manager should not be touched on these
controllers. It seems the buffer manager always runs on BCM5705 or
newer controllers. Some controller(e.g. BCM5719) needs other buffer
manager configuration so driver should enable buffer manager for
all controllers. Both Linux and OpenBSD/NetBSD use the same
approach.
This change polls enable bit of block to know whether specified
block was really stopped as well as enabling buffer manager for all
controllers in driver initialization.
