This removes one (sometimes two) levels of indirection and

It might be useful, but we collectively decided to remove it, rather
leave it abandoned and unmaintained. It is removed in one single

was possible for a regular user to setup the dump device if he had write access
to the given device. In theory it is a security issue as user might get access
to kernel's memory after provoking kernel crash, but in practise it is not
recommended to give regular users direct access to storage devices.
Rework the code so that we do privileges check within the set_dumper() function
to avoid similar problems in the future.

According to IANA RPC uaddr registry, there are no AFs
except IPv4 and IPv6, so it's not worth being too abstract here.
Remove ne_rtable[AF_MAX+1] and use explicit per-AF radix tries.
Use own initialization without relying on domattach code.
While I admit that this was one of the rare places in kernel
networking code which really was capable of doing multi-AF
without any AF-depended code, it is not possible anymore to
rely on dom* code.
While here, change terrifying "Invalid radix node head, rn:" message,
to different non-understandable "netcred already exists for given addr/mask",
but less terrifying. Since we know that rn_addaddr() returns NULL if
the same record already exists, we should provide more friendly error.

vt(4) is a new console driver which brings features such as:
o Support for Unicode and double-width characters
o Integration with the KMS kernel video drivers
o Support for UEFI
You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf, most
probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will indicate what
you need to do.
vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to syscons(4).
See the wiki for up-to-date information:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:

whether the shared request for already shared-locked lock could be
granted. Both problems result in the exclusive locker starvation.
The concurrent exclusive request is indicated by either
LK_EXCLUSIVE_WAITERS or LK_EXCLUSIVE_SPINNERS flags. The reverse
condition, i.e. no exclusive waiters, must check that both flags are
cleared.
Add a flag LK_NODDLKTREAT for shared lock request to indicate that
current thread guarantees that it does not own the lock in shared
mode. This turns back the exclusive lock starvation avoidance code;
see man page update for detailed description.
Use LK_NODDLKTREAT when doing lookup(9).

A new terminal_set_cursor() is added: it wraps the existing
teken_set_cursor() function.
In vtbuf_grow(), the cursor position is adjusted at the end of the
function. In vt_change_font(), we call terminal_set_cursor() just after
terminal_set_winsize_blank(), while the terminal is mute.
This fixes a bug where, after loading a kernel video driver which
increases the terminal window size, the cursor remains at its old
position, in other words, in the middle of the display content.

Assert FILEDESC_XLOCK_ASSERT only for already used tables in fdgrowtable.
We don't have to call it with the lock held if we are just creating new
filedesc.
As a side note, strictly speaking processes can have fdtables with
fd_lastfile = -1, but then they cannot enter fdgrowtable. Very first file
descriptor they get will be 0 and the only syscall allowing to choose fd number
requires an active file descriptor. Should this ever change, we can add an 'init'
(or similar) parameter to fdgrowtable.
While here add 'fdused_init' which does not perform unnecessary work.
Drop FILEDESC_LOCK_ASSERT from fdisused and rely on callers to hold
it when appropriate. This function is only used with INVARIANTS.
No functional changes intended.
Test for file availability by fde_file != NULL instead of fdisused, this is
consistent with similar checks later.
Drop badfileops check. badfileops don't have DFLAG_PASSABLE set, so it was never
reached in practice.
fdiused is now only used in some KASSERTS, so ifdef it under INVARIANTS.
No functional changes.
This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.
Many thanks to Arthur Mesh who did early grunt work, and who got caught in the crossfire rather more than he deserved to.
