In detail:
firmware(9):
Cleanup and document the implementation of firmware(9) based on
a version that i posted earlier on the -current mailing list,
and subsequent feedback received. See the commit log
luigi 2007-02-15 17:21:31 UTC
The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).
Note that in RELENG_6 sys/arm/xscale/ixp425, sys/dev/ipw and
sys/dev/mxge do not exist or have not been updated to use firmware(9).
iwi(4)
+ add debugging code IWI_LOCK_CHECK() to print (under sysctl debug.iwi)
missing locks;
+ make sure that iwi_ioctl() wait until the previous iwi_cmd() terminates.
Align the interfaces for the various watchdogs and make the interface
behave as expected.
Also:
- Return an error if WD_PASSIVE is passed in to the ioctl as only
WD_ACTIVE is implemented at the moment. See sys/watchdog.h for an
explanation of the difference between WD_ACTIVE and WD_PASSIVE.
- Remove the I_HAVE_TOTALLY_LOST_MY_SENSE_OF_HUMOR define. If you've
lost your sense of humor, than don't add a define.
Specific changes:
i80321_wdog.c
Don't roll your own passive watchdog tickle as this would defeat the
purpose of an active (userland) watchdog tickle.
ichwd.c / ipmi.c:
WD_ACTIVE means active patting of the watchdog by a userland process,
not whether the watchdog is active. See sys/watchdog.h.
kern_clock.c:
(software watchdog) Remove a check for WD_ACTIVE as this does not make
sense here. This reverts r1.181.

and
Don't exit from watchdogd on receiving a signal if we cannot stop the watchdog.
That'll require -KILL. This avoids resetting your system on one of the
watchdogs that you cannot disable.

sysctl_ctx_init.9 from HEAD to RELENG_6:
Add a basic man page for the sysctl(9) macro interfaces. Previously man
pages existed only for the dynamic sysctl interfaces. There's probably
more complete and accurate content, better advice, etc, that could be
added here.
Per scottl's suggest, add a small piece of moralizing text regarding the
fact that sysctl names quickly get embedded in system configuration files,
libraries, third party applications, and even books, so renaming and
removing names after they've been published is a tricky issue.

firmware(9) is a subsystem to load binary data into the kernel via a
specially crafted module. There are several handrolled sollutions to this
problem in the tree already which will be replaced with this. They
include iwi(4), ipw(4), ispfw(4) and digi(4).

Update man page to reflect the fact that VOP_LISTEXTATTR
does not return a list of ASCII NUL terminated strings.
Instead, a list of attribute names is returned, where each
list entry consists of one byte for the name length, followed
by the name, without a terminating ASCII NUL.
This in similar to change 1.17 to extattr_get_file.2
