Bring back the i486 option in GENERIC by default.
The code related to i386 CPU variants configuration has received many
changes in the last years: most of the features are detected automatically,
so there are no performance penalties from keeping the 486 support enabled.
Re-instate the 486 support: while the general configuration could still be

vmpage requires struct pmap to exist and contain a pm_stats field. As of
r308817, either AIM or BOOKE is required to be set in order to get their
respective pmap structs. Rather than expose them both, or try to unify them
unnecessarily, add a third option which contains only a pm_stats field, and
change the two existing pmap structures to place the common fields at the
beginning of the struct. This actually fixes the stats collection by libkvm on
AIM hardware, because before it was accessing a possibly different offset, which
would cause it to read garbage.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to denote this ABI change, so that ports which depend on
libkvm can be rebuilt.
Summary:
The hardware does not expose a classic SMBus interface.
Instead it has a lower level interface that can express a far richer
I2C protocol than what smbus offers. However, the interface does not
provide a way to explicitly generate the I2C stop and start conditions.
It's only possible to request that the stop condition is generated
after transferring the next byte in either direction. So, at least
one data byte must always be transferred.
Thus, some I2C sequences are impossible to generate, e.g., an equivalent
of smbus quick command (<start>-<slave addr>-<r/w bit>-<stop>).
At the same time isl(4) and cyapa(4) are moved to iicbus and now they use
iicbus_transfer for communication. Previously they used smbus_trans()
interface that is not defined by the SMBus protocol and was implemented
only by ig4(4). In fact, that interface was impossible to implement
for the typical SMBus controllers like intpm(4) or ichsmb(4) where
a type of the SMBus command must be programmed.
The plan is to remove smbus_trans() and all its uses.
As an aside, the smbus_trans() method deviates from the standard,
but perhaps backwards, FreeBSD convention of using 8-bit slave
addresses (shifted by 1 bit to the left). The method expects
7-bit addresses.
There is a user facing consequence of this change.
A user must now provide device hints for isl and cyapa that specify an iicbus to use
and a slave address on it.
On Chromebook hardware where isl and cyapa devices are commonly found
it is also possible to use a new chromebook_platform(4) driver that
automatically configures isl and cyapa devices. There is no need to
provide the device hints in that case,
Right now smbus(4) driver tries to discover all slaves on the bus.
That is very dangerous. Fortunately, the probing code uses smbus_trans()
to do its job, so it is really enabled for ig4 only.
The plan is to remove that auto-probing code and smbus_trans().

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

On some architectures, u_long isn't large enough for resource definitions.
Particularly, powerpc and arm allow 36-bit (or larger) physical addresses, but
type `long' is only 32-bit. This extends rman's resources to uintmax_t. With
this change, any resource can feasibly be placed anywhere in physical memory
(within the constraints of the driver).
Why uintmax_t and not something machine dependent, or uint64_t? Though it's
possible for uintmax_t to grow, it's highly unlikely it will become 128-bit on
32-bit architectures. 64-bit architectures should have plenty of RAM to absorb
the increase on resource sizes if and when this occurs, and the number of
resources on memory-constrained systems should be sufficiently small as to not
pose a drastic overhead. That being said, uintmax_t was chosen for source
clarity. If it's specified as uint64_t, all printf()-like calls would either
need casts to uintmax_t, or be littered with PRI*64 macros. Casts to uintmax_t
aren't horrible, but it would also bake into the API for
resource_list_print_type() either a hidden assumption that entries get cast to
uintmax_t for printing, or these calls would need the PRI*64 macros. Since
source code is meant to be read more often than written, I chose the clearest
path of simply using uintmax_t.
Tested on a PowerPC p5020-based board, which places all device resources in
0xfxxxxxxxx, and has 8GB RAM.

Say it with me, "I will not chain commands with && in Makefiles"
This was originally fixed and explained quite well by bde@ in r36074. The
initial bmake integration caused 'set -e' to stop being used which lead to
r252419. Later 'set -e' expectations were fixed with bmake in r254980.
Because of the && here, errors would be ignored when building in parallel and
a dependency failed. Such as bootstrap-tools since it builds everything in
parallel. If any tool failed in obj/depend/all, it would just ignore the error
and continue to build. This later would result in cascaded errors that only
confused the real issue. This could also cause commands after the failed
command to still execute, leading to more confusion.
This should be fine if the command is in a sub-shell such as: (cmd1 && cmd2)

inconsistencies) for now recommand removing all locales until install(1) is

Bmake has a documented feature of '-N' to skip executing commands which is
specifically intended for debugging top-level builds and not recursing into
sub-directories. This matches the older 'make -n' behavior we added which made
'-n -n' the recursing target and '-n' a non-recursing target.
Removing the '-n -n' feature allows the build to work as documented in
the bmake manpage with '-n' and '-N'. The older '-n -n' feature was also
not documented anywhere that I could see.
Note that the ${_+_} var is still needed as currently bmake incorrectly
executes '+' commands when '-N' is specified.
The '-n' and '-n -n' features were broken for several reasons prior to this.
r251748 made '_+_' never expand with '-n -n' which resulted in many
sub-directories not being visited until fixed 2 years later in r288391, and
many targets were given .MAKE over the past few years which resulted in
non-sub-make commands, such as rm and ln and mtree, to be executed.
This should also allow removing some indirection hacks in bsd.subdir.mk and
other cases of .USE that have a .MAKE by using '+'.

target. This is the feeder for mergemaster / etcupdate. This change
makes installworld/mergemaster/etcupdate behave the same regardless of
whether SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF is used.
If you use a custom SENDMAIL_MC/CF in make.conf and excluded it from
mergemaster.rc/etcupdate.conf to work around the conflicts, you may wish
to revert that or change it from 'ignore' to 'always install'.
If you do not use a custom SENDMAIL_MC/CF, there should be no change in
behavior.
This avoids needing a large boot partition / file system in order to
accommodate multiple kernels, and provides consistency with userland
debug. This also simplifies the process of moving kernel debug files
to a separate package and installing them on demand.
In addition, change kernel debug file extension to .debug, to match
userland debug files.
When using the supported kernel installation method the
/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
as is done with /boot/kernel.

workaround. Magic ".../share/mk" (search directories up to /)
does not work for f.e. /usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc because the path
inside is starting from /usr/obj hierarchy and ends up in
/usr/share/mk, not in the /usr/src/share/mk where src.opts.mk is.
IMHO proper fixing of incremental build is needed urgently.
In r266650, we made libatf-c and libatf-c++ private libraries so that no
components outside of the source tree could unintendedly depend on them.
This change does the same for the "atf-sh library" by moving the atf-sh
interpreter from its public location in /usr/bin/ to the private location
in /usr/libexec/. Our build system will ensure that our own test programs
use the right binary, but users won't be able to depend on atf-sh by
"mistake".
Committing this now to ride the UPDATING notice added with r267172 today.
The libatf-* major version numbers in FreeBSD were one version ahead of
upstream because, when atf was first imported into FreeBSD, the upstream
numbers were not respected. This is just confusing and bound to cause
problems down the road.
Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that libatf-* are now private
and that atf is not yet built by default. However, and unfortunately, a
clean build is needed for tests to continue working once "make
delete-old-libs" has been run; hence the note in UPDATING.

versions. With its movement to src.opts.mk, bsd.prog.mk was testing
COMPILER_TYPE without including the bsd.compiler.mk anymore. In the
source tree, this caused no problems, for reasons that aren't clear,
but does cause problems outside of the source tree. Allow
bsd.compiler.mk to be included multiple times safely, and always
include bsd.compiler.mk at the top of bsd.prog.mk. Resist the urge to
put it in bsd.init.mk, since that would reintroduce the implicit
include.
lindev(4) was only used to provide /dev/full which is now a standard feature of
FreeBSD. /dev/full was never linux-specific and provides a generally useful
feature.
Document this in UPDATING and bump __FreeBSD_version. This will be documented
in the PH shortly.

CLOCAL and HUPCL control flags. There are legit reasons for allowing

this change has no effect.

add it in kern.mk, but only if we're using clang. While this
option is supported by both clang and gcc, in the future there
may be changes to clang which change the defaults that require
a tweak to build our kernel such that other tools in our tree
will work. Set a good example by forcing -gdwarf-2 only for
clang builds, and only if the user hasn't specified another
dwarf level already. Update UPDATING to reflect the changed
state of affairs. This also keeps us from having to update
all the ARM kernels to add this, and also keeps us from
in the future having to update all the MIPS kernels and is
one less place the user will have to know to do something
special for clang and one less thing developers will need
