9eefcf3161 MUTEX_PROFILING has been generalized to LOCK_PROFILING. We now profile
wait (time waited to acquire) and hold times for *all* kernel locks. If
the architecture has a system synchronized TSC, the profiling code will
use that - thereby minimizing profiling overhead. Large chunks of profiling
code have been moved out of line, the overhead measured on the T1 for when
it is compiled in but not enabled is < 1%.

3a250c3e16 Add 'options KSE' to the kernel config DEFAULTS on all arches/machines
except sun4v.

This change makes the transition from a default to an option more
transparent and is an attempt to head off all the compliants that are
likely from people who don't read UPDATING, based on experience with
the io/mem change.

6131479c85 Updated the XBOX kernel to use the new nfe(4) driver obtained from
OpenBSD. This driver seems to give a small performance increase, and
should lead to better maintainability in the future.

The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still
required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will
almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there.

66715ad5a3 Retire NETSMBCRYPTO as a kernel option and make its functionality
enabled by default in NETSMB and smbfs.ko.

With the most of modern SMB providers requiring encryption by
default, there is little sense left in keeping the crypto part
of NETSMB optional at the build time.

This will also return smbfs.ko to its former properties users
are rather accustomed to.

f78772bbe4 Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
  - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
  - respects DISTDIR
  - documented in UPDATING and build(7)

The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.

Additionally add check-old target:
  - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces

Design goals:
  - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
  - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
  - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
  - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)

Important design decissions:
  - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
    * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
      without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
      yet)
  - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
    * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode

c724d1075b - Remove the pccard_ifconfig variable in favor of a new
ifconfig_DEFAULT variable.  Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
   applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
   variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
 - Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
   removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
   in the list of canidates.
 - When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
   options so nat works.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using

exist today.  This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel.  Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols)  and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.

the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with

so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock

84038e9ef8 Amend the named chroot update instructions by adding a stop and start
of syslogd. The rc.d/syslogd script has the logic already to create
a socket in the chroot dir, it just needs to be restarted.

a0c7847c5b Create a named chroot directory structure in /var/named, and use it
by default when named is enabled. Also, improve our default directory
layout by creating /var/named/etc/namedb/{master|slave} directories,
and use the former for the generated localhost* files.

Rather than using pax to copy device entries, mount devfs in the
chroot directory.

There may be some corner cases where things need to be adjusted,
but overall this structure has been well tested on a production
network, and should serve the needs of the vast majority of users.

UPDATING has instructions on how to do the conversion for those
with existing configurations.
