We now live in the world of git, and release(7) should reflect that.
As of the commit referenced below, release images also no longer
include (stale) documentation, as the documentation has moved to
AsciiDoctor. This means that a few environment variables no longer
make sense, so remove them from their sections and mention them in
the compatibility section instead.
While here, also pet mandoc.

Add /var/run/bhyve/ to BSD.var.dist so we don't have to call mkdir when
creating the unix domain socket for a given bhyve vm.
The path to the unix domain socket for a bhyve vm will now be
/var/run/bhyve/vmname instead of /var/run/bhyve/checkpoint/vmname
Move BHYVE_RUN_DIR from snapshot.c to snapshot.h so it can be shared
to bhyvectl(8).

This is just like debug.kdb.panic, except the string that's passed in
is reported in the panic message. This allows people with automated
systems to collect kernel panics over a large fleet of machines to
flag panics better. Strings like "Warner look at this hang" or "see
JIRA ABC-1234 for details" allow these automated systems to route the
forced panic to the appropriate engineers like you can with other
types of panics. Other users are likely possible.

Perhaps it made sense in 1998 (r32836), but now it feels a bit out of
place. We tend to avoid documenting non-essential ports variables in

Document the new powerpc64le arch's initial specifications.
Certain things are subject to change while this is experimental. The most
likely change is that long double may switch to quad, dependent on POWER8
emulation assistance for __float128 being set up in the compiler (as
POWER8 does not have IEEE-compatible 128-bit hardware float, unlike POWER9.)

It's no longer unusual to be able to build a release with a single

Add a 'native_blocksize' member to 'struct enc_xform' that ciphers can
use if they support a partial final block. This is particular useful
for stream ciphers, but can also apply to other ciphers. cryptosoft
will only pass in native blocks to the encrypt and decrypt hooks. For
the final partial block, 'struct enc_xform' now has new
encrypt_last/decrypt_last hooks which accept the length of the final
block. The multi_block methods are also retired.
Mark AES-ICM (AES-CTR) as a stream cipher. This has some interesting
effects on IPsec in that FreeBSD can now properly receive all packets
sent by Linux when using AES-CTR, but FreeBSD can no longer
interoperate with OpenBSD and older verisons of FreeBSD which assume
AES-CTR packets have a payload padded to a 16-byte boundary. Kornel
has offered to work on a patch to add a compatiblity sysctl to enforce
additional padding for AES-CTR in esp_output to permit compatibility
with OpenBSD and older versions of FreeBSD.
AES-XTS continues to use a block size of a single AES block length.
It is possible to adjust it to support partial final blocks by
implementing cipher text stealing via encrypt_last/decrypt_last hooks,
but I have not done so.
