The change from "slave" processes to "minion" processes to "worker"
processes left some less-than-coherent names:
1. "enslave" turned into the ungrammatical "enworker".
2. "slp" (SLave Pointer) turned into "mlp" (Minion [L] Pointer?).
Convert "enworker" to "create_workers" (the function in question forks
off 3 worker processes), and replace "mlp" with "wp" (Worker Pointer)
and "tmlp" with "twp" (Temporary Worker Pointer).

superblock has a check-hash error, an error message noting the
superblock check-hash failure is printed and the mount fails. The
administrator then runs fsck to repair the filesystem and when
successful, the filesystem can once again be mounted.
This approach fails if the filesystem in question is a root filesystem
from which you are trying to boot. Here, the loader fails when trying
to access the filesystem to get the kernel to boot. So it is necessary
to allow the loader to ignore the superblock check-hash error and make
a best effort to read the kernel. The filesystem may be suffiently
corrupted that the read attempt fails, but there is no harm in trying
since the loader makes no attempt to write to the filesystem.
Once the kernel is loaded and starts to run, it attempts to mount its
root filesystem. Once again, failure means that it breaks to its prompt
to ask where to get its root filesystem. Unless you have an alternate
root filesystem, you are stuck.
Since the root filesystem is initially mounted read-only, it is
safe to make an attempt to mount the root filesystem with the failed
superblock check-hash. Thus, when asked to mount a root filesystem
with a failed superblock check-hash, the kernel prints a warning
message that the root filesystem superblock check-hash needs repair,
but notes that it is ignoring the error and proceeding. It does
mark the filesystem as needing an fsck which prevents it from being
enabled for writing until fsck has been run on it. The net effect
is that the reboot fails to single user, but at least at that point
the administrator has the tools at hand to fix the problem.

The size limits came from a flawed understanding of dump records.
The real issue was that dump was bogusly interpreting c_count
sometimes. r334978 fixes that.
We shouldn't count the bytes set in c_addr for TS_CLRI and TS_BITS
nodes. Those block overload c_count to communicate how many blocks
follow, not now many c_addr spaces are used. Dump would dump core
(now) because memory layout moved around and we'd access elements past
the end to make a count.

Add some asserts that prevents the overflows of c_addr. This can't
happen, absent bugs. However, certain large filesystems can cause
problems. These have been prevented by r334968, but a solution
is needed. These asserts will help assure that solution is correct.

Specifically reading is done if ffs_sbget() and writing is done
in ffs_sbput(). These functions are exported to libufs via the
sbget() and sbput() functions which then used in the various
filesystem utilities. This work is in preparation for adding
subperblock check hashes.
No functional change intended.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
With the addition of various GEOM layers some device names now exceed
this length, for example /dev/mirror/encrypted.elig.journal. This
change expands the field to 53 bytes which brings the /etc/dumpdates
lines to 80 characters. Exceeding 80 characters makes the /etc/dumpdates
file much less human readable. A test is added to dump so that it
verifies that the device name will fit in the 53 character field
failing the dump if it is too long.
This change has been checked to verify that its /etc/dumpdates file
is compatible with older versions of dump.
