26c165ead9 Remove support for the Arcnet protocol.
While Arcnet has some continued deployment in industrial controls, the
lack of drivers for any of the PCI, USB, or PCIe NICs on the market
suggests such users aren't running FreeBSD.

Evidence in the PR database suggests that the cm(4) driver (our sole
Arcnet NIC) was broken in 5.0 and has not worked since.

591ef7c807 Let syslog(3) use RFC 5424.
With r332099 changing syslogd(8) to parse RFC 5424 formatted syslog
messages, go ahead and also change the syslog(3) libc function to
generate them. Compared to RFC 3164, RFC 5424 has various advantages,
such as sub-second precision for log entry timestamps.

As this change could have adverse effects when not updating syslogd(8)
or using a different system logging daemon, add a notice to UPDATING and
increase __FreeBSD_version.

dfdfdc183e Add note to UPDATING about UEFI changes requiring loader(8) update
These problems have only been observed with boards using U-Boot (e.g. ARM)
where virtual addresses are already set in the memory map by the firmware
and the firmware is expecting a call to SetVirtualAddressMap to be made.
I refrain from mentioning this in the note because this could also be the
case on some not-yet-tested firmware on amd64 and it's not a bad
recommendation for the general case.

974e9d9ccc Add Lua as a scripting langauge to /boot/loader
liblua glues the lua run time into the boot loader. It implements all
the runtime routines that lua expects. In addition, it has a few
standard 'C' headers that nueter various aspects of the LUA build that
are too specific to lua to be in libsa. Many refinements from the
original code to improve implementation and the number of included lua
libraries. Use int64_t for lua_Number. Have "/boot/lua" be the default
module path. Numerous cleanups from the original GSoC project,
including hacking libsa to allow lua to be built with only one change
outside luaconf.h.

Add the final bit of lua glue to bring in liblua and plug into the
multiple interpreter framework, previously committed.

Add LOADER_LUA option, currently off by default.

Presently, this is an experimental option. One must opt-in to using
this by defining WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH. It's been
lightly tested, so keep a backup copy of your old loader handy.
The menu code, coming in the next commit, hasn't been exhaustively
tested. A LUA boot loader is 60k larger than a FORTH one, which is
80k larger than a no-interpreter one. Subtle changes in size
may tip things past some subtle limit (the binary is ~430k now
when built with LUA). A future version may offer coexistance.

Bump FreeBSD version to 1200058 to mark the milestone.

Pedro Souza's 2014 Summer of Code project. Rui Paulo, Pedro Arthur,
Zakary Nafziger and Wojciech A. Koszek also contributed. Warner Losh
reworked it extensively into its current form.

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.
