Some BIOSes have trouble booting from GPT in non-UEFI mode. This is
commonly reported with Lenovo laptops, including my x220. As we do not
currently support booting FreeBSD/i386 via UEFI there's no reason to
prefer GPT.
The "vestigial swap partition" was added in r265017 to work around an
issue with loader's GPT support, so we should not need it when using
MBR.
We may want to make the same change to amd64, although the issue there is
mitigated by such systems booting via UEFI in the common case.

Originally, on the VAX exect() enable tracing once the new executable
image was loaded. This was possible because tracing was controllable
through user space code by setting the PSL_T flag. The following
instruction is a system call that activated tracing (as all
instructions do) by copying PSL_T to PSL_TP (trace pending). The
first instruction of the new executable image would trigger a trace
fault.
This is not portable to all platforms and the behavior was replaced with
ptrace(PT_TRACE_ME, ...) since FreeBSD forked off of the CSRG repository.
Platforms either incorrectly call execve(), trigger trace faults inside
the original executable, or do contain an implementation of this
function.
The exect() interfaces is deprecated or removed on NetBSD and OpenBSD.

To create hybrid boot media we want to specify a partition at a known location.
This extends the syntax of size partitions to include an optional offset that
can be absolute or relative. It also introduces validation to make sure that
this hasn't resulted in overlapping partitions. I haven't added this to the
file and process partition specifications yet but the mechanics are designed
such that if someone comes up with a good way of specifying the offset it
will be fairly easy to add in.

Directory mtime will only change if a file is added or removed, not
modified. For /var/cron/tabs, this is fine because of how crontab(1) manages
it using temp files so all crontab(1) changes will trigger a reload of the
database.
For /etc/cron.d and /usr/local/etc/cron.d, this is not necessarily the case.
Instead of checking their mtime, we should descend into them and check mtime

import in its form with an old name and a new name. This allows to
import (or create) a pool under a name that's different from its real,

have a ZFS pool with the same name as the host system.

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

pf ioctls frequently take a variable number of elements as argument. This can
potentially allow users to request very large allocations. These will fail,
but even a failing M_NOWAIT might tie up resources and result in concurrent
M_WAITOK allocations entering vm_wait and inducing reclamation of caches.
Limit these ioctls to what should be a reasonable value, but allow users to

Now that 10 years have passed since the original limit of 10000 was
committed, bump it a little bit.
Spinning waiting for writers is semi-informed in the sense that we always
know if the owner is running and base the decision to spin on that.
However, no such information is provided for read-locking. In particular
this means that it is possible for a write-spinner to completely waste cpu
time waiting for the lock to be released, while the reader holding it was
preempted and is now waiting for the spinner to go off cpu.
Nonetheless, in majority of cases it is an improvement to spin instead of
instantly giving up and going to sleep.
The current approach is pretty simple: snatch the number of current readers
and performs that many pauses before checking again. The total number of
pauses to execute is limited to 10k. If the lock is still not free by
that time, go to sleep.
Given the previously noted problem of not knowing whether spinning makes
any sense to begin with the new limit has to remain rather conservative.
But at the very least it should also be related to the machine. Waiting
for writers uses parameters selected based on the number of activated
hardware threads. The upper limit of pause instructions to be executed
in-between re-reads of the lock is typically 16384 or 32678. It was
selected as the limit of total spins. The lower bound is set to
already present 10000 as to not change it for smaller machines.
Bumping the limit reduces system time by few % during benchmarks like
buildworld, buildkernel and others. Tested on 2 and 4 socket machines
(Broadwell, Skylake).
Figuring out how to make a more informed decision while not pessimizing
the fast path is left as an exercise for the reader.
Add a -R option to setfacl to operate recursively on directories, along
with the accompanying flags -H, -L, and -P (whose behaviour mimics
chmod).

GEOM ELI may double ask the password during boot. Once at loader time, and
once at init time.
This happens due a module loading bug. By default GEOM ELI caches the
password in the kernel, but without the MODULE_VERSION annotation, the
kernel loads over the kernel module, even if the GEOM ELI was compiled into
the kernel. In this case, the newly loaded module
purges/invalidates/overwrites the GEOM ELI's password cache, which causes
the double asking.

CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT was introduced in
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D7521 (r304251), which claimed:
"VM shall response to CAM layer with CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT to filter those
invalid LUNs. Never use CAM_DEV_NOT_THERE which will block LUN scan
for LUN number higher than 7."
But it turns out this is not correct:
I think what really filters the invalid LUNs in r304251 is that:
before r304251, we could set the CAM_REQ_CMP without checking
vm_srb->srb_status at all:
ccb->ccb_h.status |= CAM_REQ_CMP.
r304251 checks vm_srb->srb_status and sets ccb->ccb_h.status properly,
so the invalid LUNs are filtered.
I changed my code version to r304251 but replaced the CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT
with CAM_DEV_NOT_THERE, and I confirmed the invalid LUNs can also be
filtered, and I successfully hot-added and hot-removed 8 disks to/from
the VM without any issue.
CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT has an unwanted side effect -- see cam_periph_error():
For a selection timeout, we consider all of the LUNs on
the target to be gone. If the status is CAM_DEV_NOT_THERE,
then we only get rid of the device(s) specified by the
path in the original CCB.
This means: for a VM with a valid LUN on 3:0:0:0, when the VM inquires
3:0:0:1 and the host reports 3:0:0:1 doesn't exist and storvsc returns
CAM_SEL_TIMEOUT to the CAM layer, CAM will detech 3:0:0:0 as well: this
