autofs was introduced with FreeBSD 10.1 and is the supported method for
automounting filesystems. As of r296194 the amd man page claimed that it
is deprecated. Remove it from base now; the sysutils/am-utils port is
still available if necessary.

Now that we no longer have GCC 4.2.1 in the tree and can assume FreeBSD
is being built with a C++11 compiler available, we can use BSDL dtc
unconditionally and retire the GPL dtc.
GPL dtc now has FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI to help ensure it
continues to build/work on FreeBSD and is available in the ports tree
if needed.
The copy of (copyfree licensed) libfdt that we actually use is in
sys/contrib/libfdt so the extra copy under contrib/dtc/libfdt can be
removed along with the rest of the GPL dtc.

As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing
list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external
toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports).
GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later
that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is
obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It
does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V.
Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing
GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Each entry in ObsoleteFiles.inc adds to the time `make delete-old` and
friends take to run. Perl was removed from the FreeBSD base system a
very long time ago (FreeBSD 5); source updates have not been supported
from that version for years.
Perl was a single component responsible for thousands of entries so
provides significant benefit with little effort/investigation required.
We could still use a more comprehensive cleanup to remove old entries.
Also add an UPDATING note (with wordsmithing by imp) indicating that
`make delete-old` is required along each step of a source upgrade from
an old, unsupported release.

Revert parts of r353274 replacing vnet_state with a shutdown flag.
Not having the state flag for the current SI_SUB_* makes it harder to debug
kernel or module panics related to VNET bringup or teardown.
Not having the state also does not allow us to check for other dependency
levels between components, e.g. for moving interfaces.
Expand the VNET structure with the new boolean flag indicating that we are
doing a shutdown of a given vnet and update the vnet magic cookie for the
change.
Update libkvm to compile with a bool in the kernel struct.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for (external) module builds to more easily detect
the change.

Support for NO_CTF, NO_DEBUG_FILES, NO_INSTALLLIB, NO_MAN, NO_PROFILE,
and NO_WARNS as deprecated in 2014 with a warning added for each one
found. Turn these into error in preperation for removal of compatability
support before FreeBSD 13.
This was previously committed in r354909 and reverted in r355011 due to
unforseen impacts on ports. I've since corrected all amd64 and i386
ports reported in prior runs as well as instance of these variables I
found via grep.

Tested with make universe. Any stale LINT-V5 config files remaining in the tree
will fail the universe build. However, LINT-V5 was removed in r355119.
This retirement has been planned since last summer. The armv5 port is fragile:
it works OK for some peeople, and fails badly for others. There's a number of
subtle bugs in busdma, pmap and other MD parts of thee system that present
themselves under load or in unusual circumstances (like fsck after a
crash). stable/8, branched 10 years ago, was the last reliable release. Since
the support burden is larger then the benefit, the consensus view is armv5
should be removed from the tree.
Discussed with: arm@ mailing list and arm developer community.
Simplify RANDOM_LOADABLE by removing the ability to unload a LOADABLE
random(4) implementation. This allows one-time random module selection
at boot, by loader(8). Swapping modules on the fly doesn't seem
especially useful.
This removes the need to hold a lock over the sleepable module calls
read_random and read_random_uio.
init/deinit have been pulled out of random_algorithm entirely. Algorithms
can run their own sysinits to initialize; deinit is removed entirely, as
algorithms can not be unloaded. Algorithms should initialize at
SI_SUB_RANDOM:SI_ORDER_SECOND. In LOADABLE systems, algorithms install
a pointer to their local random_algorithm context in p_random_alg_context at
that time.
Go ahead and const'ify random_algorithm objects; there is no need to mutate
them at runtime.
LOADABLE kernel NULL checks are removed from random_harvestq by ordering
random_harvestq initialization at SI_SUB_RANDOM:SI_ORDER_THIRD, after
algorithm init. Prior to random_harvestq init, hc_harvest_mask is zero and
no events are forwarded to algorithms; after random_harvestq init, the
relevant pointers will already have been installed.
Remove the bulk of random_infra shim wrappers and instead expose the bare
function pointers in sys/random.h. In LOADABLE systems, read_random(9) et
al are just thin shim macros around invoking the associated function
pointer. We do not provide a registration system but instead expect
LOADABLE modules to register themselves at SI_SUB_RANDOM:SI_ORDER_SECOND.
An example is provided in randomdev.c, as used in the random_fortuna.ko
module.

net.link.tap.user_open has historically allowed non-root users to do devfs
cloning and open /dev/tap* nodes based on permissions. Loosen this up to
make it only allow users to do devfs cloning -- we no longer check it in
tunopen.
This allows tap devices to be created that can actually be opened by a user,
rather than swiftly restricting them to root because the magic sysctl has
not been set.
The sysctl has not yet been completely deprecated, because more thought is
needed for how to handle the devfs cloning case. There is not an easy
suitable replacement for the sysctl there, and more care needs to be placed
in determining whether that's OK or not.
