a74104797b Disabled the use of flowid for lagg by default
Disabled the use of RSS hash from the network card aka flowid for
lagg(4) interfaces by default as it's currently incompatible with
the lacp and loadbalance protocols.

The incompatibility is due to the fact that the flowid isn't know
for the first packet of a new outbound stream which can result in
the hash calculation method changing and hence a stream being
incorrectly split across multiple interfaces during normal
operation.

This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf:
net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1"

095d277cd8 Use the cookie now set by loader to determine whether the value passed to
PowerPC kernels in r6 is actually metadata from loader(8) or gibberish
left in r6, which is not required to be anything under the
PAPR/ePAPR/CHRP/OF standards, by another boot loader.

Note that, as a result, systems need a new boot loader to boot PPC kernels
after this revision without ending up at a mountroot prompt. New boot
loaders are backwards compatible and can boot older kernels.

70c391eee8 Enable AUTO_OBJ by default if the OBJDIR is writable, only for in-tree builds.
This can be disabled by putting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, not
/etc/src.conf, or passing it in the environment.

The purpose of this rather than simply flipping the default of AUTO_OBJ to yes
is to avoid hassling users with auto.obj.mk failures if the wanted OBJDIR is
not writable. It will fallback to writing to the source directory like it does
today if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not writable.

The act of enabling MK_AUTO_OBJ disables all 'make obj' treewalks since
previous work has made those not run if MK_AUTO_OBJ==yes in Makefile.inc1.

8800d532d3 Add option UNIFIED_OBJDIR, on by default, which moves the default build OBJDIR.
This changes the build OBJDIR from the older style of /usr/obj/<srcdir> for
native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>.  This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build.  It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.

The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option will be removed and its feature made permanent
for the 12.0 release.

db03954cc0 Change native-xtools to not install by default; add a native-xtools-install.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after
r325001 as well.

The files will be installed to DESTDIR/NXTP where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.

c08529fe2a Remove spaces from CTL devices' default serial numbers
It's awkward to have spaces in CAM device serial numbers. That leads to
such things as device nodes named "/dev/diskid/MYSERIAL%20%20%201". Better
to replace the spaces with "0"s. This change only affects the default

11d34fd62a Solve the y2038 problem for powerpc

PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386).  This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.

6563dfe551 Forward compatibility for ino64.
Add forward compatibility so that new binaries can run on old
kernels. If the new system call from ino64 isn't available on your
system, then the old one will be used and the results translated.  The
stat and statfs families of functions are fully emulated. While not
required by policy, in this case it is helpful to our users to provide
this compatibility. In this case, it allows rollback of the kernel
after installing a new userland should a problem be discovered. It
also prevents foot-shooting if a user does an install before rebooting
with the new kernel. Finally, it allows the use case where one needs
to run new binaries on an old kernel as part of an upgrade process.

The getdirentries family uses tricks that may not work on remote
filesystems. Specifically, it uses a buffer 1/4 the size requested to
get the data from he old syscall.

The code carefully uses direct syscalls for old system calls to avoid
referencing freebsd11_* symbols, which contaminate ld-elf.so.1's
export table due to its use of stat functions, which causes errno to
be incorrect in client programs due to the wrong *stat* function being
resolved in some cases.

This code should removed sometime after 12 is branched.

Tested on: 12-current binaries on a 10.3-beta kernel run and return
       consistent results. 12-current kernel and userland with
       packages from before ino64 was committed also work.
