(gpt)zfsboot will read one-time boot directives from a special ZFS pool
area. The area was previously described as "Boot Block Header", but
currently it is know as Pad2, marked as reserved and is zeroed out on
pool creation. The new code interprets data in this area, if any, using
the same format as boot.config. The area is immediately wiped out.
Failure to parse the directives results in a reboot right after the
cleanup. Otherwise the boot sequence proceeds as usual.
zfsbootcfg writes zfsboot arguments specified on its command line to the
Pad2 area of a disk identified by vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool and
vfs.zfs.boot.primary_vdev kenv variables that are set by loader during
boot. Please see the manual page for more.
Thanks to all who reviewed, contributed and made suggestions! There are
many potential improvements to the feature, please see the review for
details.

Currently, '/etc/rc.d/swaplate stop' removes all swap devices. This can be
very slow and may not even be possible if there is a lot of swap space in
use. However, removing swap devices is only needed for late swap devices
that may depend on daemons that subsequent shutdown steps stop. Normal swap
devices such as hard disk partitions will remain available throughout the
shutdown process and need not be removed.
In swapoff, interpret -aL to remove late swap devices only, and use this in
etc/rc.d/swaplate. The meaning of -aL in swapon remains unchanged (add all
swap devices, both normal and late).

In r307684, I changed rescan_or_reset_bus() to bzero stack-allocated CCBs
before sending them to the kernel because there was stack garbage in there
that wound up meaning that bogus CCB flags were set.
While this fixed the 'camcontrol rescan all' case (XPT_DEV_MATCH CCBs were
failing previously), it broke the 'camcontrol rescan 0' (or any other
number) case when INVARIANTS are turned on. Rescanning a single bus
reliably produced an assert in cam_periph_runccb():
panic: cam_periph_runccb: ccb=0xfffff80044ffe000, func_code=0x708, flags=0xffffdde0
The flags values don't make sense from the code. Changing the CCBs in
rescan_or_reset_bus() from stack to heap allocated avoids the problem.
It would be better to understand why userland stack allocated CCBs don't
work properly, since there may be other code that breaks if stack allocated
CCBs don't work.
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c:
In rescan_or_reset_bus(), allocate the CCBs using malloc(3) instead
of on the stack to avoid an assertion in cam_periph_runccb().

This showed up as 'camcontrol rescan all' failing with EINVAL because the
address type wasn't CAM_DATA_VADDR.

r301059 accidently introduced a subtle change for point to point interfaces
where an extra space is inserted before the netmask. This can cause issues

shell, ensure that we do sleep for at least the specified time, in
presence of signals.
Interrupted sleep(3) is followed by _exit(), which might cause 'Going
nowhere without my init' panic if init(8) exits before the reboot(2)
really started, or before SIGTSTP stopped init(8) (both events are
initiated by the parallel reboot(8) operation).
I do not see other calls to sleep(STALL_TIMEOUT) as having the same
disasterous consequences and kept them as is until the similar change
is proven required.

A premature optimization lead to caching a native-sector sized memory
allocation. If the program examined a 512 byte sector disk, then a 4096
byte sector disk, the program would overrun the cached 512 byte buffer.
Just remove the optimization to fix the bug. This was introduced with the 4Kn
dump support in r298076.

I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared as I could not find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo history.
fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this, I have avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.

The tag fastroute came from ipf and was removed in OpenBSD in 2011. The code
allows to skip the in pfil hooks and completely removes the out pfil invoke,
albeit looking up a route that the IP stack will likely find on its own.
The code between IPv4 and IPv6 is also inconsistent and marked as "XXX"
for years.
