is exhausted.
How to use:
Basically we need to add on rc.conf an another option like:
If we want to protect only the main processes.
syslogd_oomprotect="YES"
If we want to protect all future children of the specified processes.
syslogd_oomprotect="ALL"

and geom_uncompress(4):
1. mkuzip(8):
- Proper support for eliminating all-zero blocks when compressing an
image. This feature is already supported by the geom_uzip(4) module
and CLOOP format in general, so it's just a matter of making mkuzip(8)
match. It should be noted, however that this feature while it sounds
great, results in very slight improvement in the overall compression
ratio, since compressing default 16k all-zero block produces only 39
bytes compressed output block, which is 99.8% compression ratio. With
typical average compression ratio of amd64 binaries and data being
around 60-70% the difference between 99.8% and 100.0% is not that
great further diluted by the ratio of number of zero blocks in the
uncompressed image to the overall number of blocks being less than
0.5 (typically). However, this may be important from performance
standpoint, so that kernel are not spinning its wheels decompressing
those empty blocks every time this zero region is read. It could also
be important when you create huge image mostly filled with zero
blocks for testing purposes.
- New feature allowing to de-duplicate output image. It turns out that
if you twist CLOOP format a bit you can do that as well. And unlike
zero-blocks elimination, this gives a noticeable improvement in the
overall compression ratio, reducing output image by something like
3-4% on my test UFS2 3GB image consisting of full FreeBSD base system
plus some of the packages (openjdk, apache etc), about 2.3GB worth of
file data (800+MB compressed). The only caveat is that images created
with this feature "on" would not work on older versions of FeeBSDxi
kernel, hence it's turned off by default.
- provide options to control both features and document them in manual
page.
- merge in all relevant LZMA compression support from the mkulzma(8),
add new option to select between both.
- switch license from ad-hoc beerware into standard 2-clause BSD.
2. geom_uzip(4):
- implement support for de-duplicated images;
- optimize some code paths to handle "all-zero" blocks without reading
any compressed data;
- beef up manual page to explain that geom_uzip(4) is not limited only
to md(4) images. The compressed data can be written to the block
device and accessed directly via magic of GEOM(4) and devfs(4),
including to mount root fs from a compressed drive.
- convert debug log code from being compiled in conditionally into
being present all the time and provide two sysctls to turn it on or
off. Due to intended use of the module, it can be used in
environments where there may not be a luxury to put new kernel with
debug code enabled. Having those options handy allows debug issues
without as much problem by just having access to serial console or
network shell access to a box/appliance. The resulting additional
CPU cycles are just few int comparisons and branches, and those are
minuscule when compared to data decompression which is the main
feature of the module.
- hopefully improve robustness and resiliency of the geom_uzip(4) by
performing some of the data validation / range checking on the TOC
entries and rejecting to attach to an image if those checks fail.
- merge in all relevant LZMA decompression support from the
geom_uncompress(4), enable automatically when appropriate format is
indicated in the header.
- move compilation work into its own worker thread so that it does not
clog g_up. This allows multiple instances work in parallel utilizing
smp cores.
- document new knobs in the manual page.

and manual page were.
For whatever reason it listed myself as a primary author, which is
just not true.
Also, majority of the manpage is copied verbatim from the geom_uzip(4),
contributed by ceri, with only minor adjustments from loos, so put ceri
back into the copyright secrion where he belongs and reflect that in the
AUTHORS section.
For what it's worth, I think this one should be deleted and LZMA
support just folded back into geom_uzip(4) / mkuzip(4) whete it really
belongs.

This will speed up some tree-walks with FAST_DEPEND which otherwise
would include length(SRCS) .depend files.
This also uses a trick suggested by sjg@ to still read them in when
specifying _V_READ_DEPEND=1 in the env/make args.

Reduce differences between jib/jng and fix a bug that would prevent
additional interfaces from being created if the first of many already
existed (counter wasn't incremented before calling only continue).
Adding `!' before an interface name will disable MAC allocation, falling
back to driver mechanics. Alternatively adding `=' before an interface name
causes the MAC address to be cloned (for ng_bridge(4) back-end only). While
here, disable the auto-detection of wlan* since this knocks the host off;
requiring the host that defines the jail to explicitly enable this feature
by preceding the interface with `='.
Documented in iwn(4), "Only one virtual interface may be configured at any
time." However, netgraph with a cloned MAC address is able to communicate
over an ng_eiface attached to an ng_bridge linked to the wlan(4) interface.
While here, introduce syntax to specify the MAC address is to be cloned if
the named interface begins with equals [=].

Replace `make regress` (legacy test make target) and `make test` (incomplete
test make target added with the FreeBSD test suite) with make check as it's
consistent with other open source projects.
`make check` defaults to running tests from `.OBJDIR`, but can be overridden
with the `CHECKDIR` variable.
Add `make checkworld` target to simplify running the FreeBSD test suite from
`TESTSBASE` (i.e. the top-level tests directory), similar to buildworld.
Document `make check` and `make checkworld` in build(7).
Other minor changes:
- Rename intermediate file (`Kyuafile.auto`) to `Kyuafile` to simplify
`make check`.
- Remove terse warnings attached to `beforetest`/`aftertest`.
- Add kyua binary check to check target in suite.test.mk; error out if it's
not found
The MFC is [partly] contingent on other build related changes being MFCed.
