"The only hard problem in cryptography is key-management."
All sectors are encrypted with AES in CBC mode using a constant key,
currently compiled in and all zero.
To activate this module, write the magic header on the partition:
echo "<<FreeBSD-GEOM-AES>>" | dd conv=sync of=/dev/md98
The encrypted device will be one sector shorter and have ".aes"
appended to its name.

back to -fformat-extensions (or whatever) when we have the functionality.
We are gaining warnings again that should be fixed but the are being hidden
by NO_WERROR and all the -Wformat noise.
option is used (not on by default).
- In the case of trying to lock a mutex, if the MTX_CONTESTED flag is set,
then we can safely read the thread pointer from the mtx_lock member while
holding sched_lock. We then examine the thread to see if it is currently
executing on another CPU. If it is, then we keep looping instead of
blocking.
- In the case of trying to unlock a mutex, it is now possible for a mutex
to have MTX_CONTESTED set in mtx_lock but to not have any threads
actually blocked on it, so we need to handle that case. In that case,
we just release the lock as if MTX_CONTESTED was not set and return.
- We do not adaptively spin on Giant as Giant is held for long times and
it slows SMP systems down to a crawl (it was taking several minutes,
like 5-10 or so for my test alpha and sparc64 SMP boxes to boot up when
they adaptively spinned on Giant).
- We only compile in the code to do this for SMP kernels, it doesn't make
sense for UP kernels.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
IFS had its fingers deep in the belly of the UFS/FFS split. IFS
will be reimplemented by the maintainer at a later date.

shared code and converting all ufs references. Originally it may
have made sense to share common features between the two filesystems,
but recently it has only caused problems, the UFS2 work being the
final straw.
All UFS_* indirect calls are now direct calls to ext2_* functions,
and ext2fs-specific mount and inode structures have been introduced.
nearly in its entirety from i386, so it retains the phk/nati copyright.
Savecore likes the results, but I have no way to test it as gdb is
still broken.
0xdeadc0de and then check for it just before memory is handed off as part
of a new request. This will catch any post free/pre alloc modification of
memory, as well as introduce errors for anything that tries to dereference
it as a pointer.
This code takes the form of special init, fini, ctor and dtor routines that
are specificly used by malloc. It is in a seperate file because additional
debugging aids will want to live here as well.
ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.
MFC after: 3 days
to build kernel and kernel modules so stop supporting them in
bsd.subdir.mk and reimplement them in kern.post.mk and kmod.mk
as special versions of the install and reinstall targets, and
only define them if DEBUG is also defined (when debug versions
are really built).
Prompted by: bde
Ensure all standard targets honor SUBDIR. Now `make obj' descends into
SUBDIRs even if NOOBJ is set (some descendants may still need an object
directory, but we do not have such precedents). Now `make install' in
non-bsd.subdir.mk makefiles runs `afterinstall' target _after_ `install'
in SUBDIRs, like we do in bsd.subdir.mk. Nothing depended on the wrong
order anyway.
Fixed `distribute' targets (except for the bsd.subdir.mk version) so that
they do not depend on _SUBDIR; `distribute' calls `install' which already
depends on _SUBDIR.
De-standardize `maninstall', otherwise manpages would be installed twice.
(To be revised later.)
- Add stubs for EISA and SBUS cards.
(VME, FutureBUS, and TurboChannel stubs not provided.)
- Add infrastructure to build driver and bus front-end modules.
