Summary:
Historically, we have built toolchain components such as cc, ld, etc as
statically linked executables. One of the reasons being that you could
sometimes save yourself from botched upgrades, by e.g. recompiling a
"known good" libc and reinstalling it.
In this day and age, we have boot environments, virtual machine
snapshots, cloud backups, and other much more reliable methods to
restore systems to working order. So I think the time is ripe to flip
this default, and link the toolchain components dynamically, just like
almost all other executables on FreeBSD.
Maybe at some point they can even become PIE executables by default! :)

The change is for the example in textdump.4 and the default ddb.conf.
First of all, doadump now requires an argument and it won't do a
textdump if the argument is not 'true'.
And 'textdump dump' is more idiomatic anyway.
For what it's worth, ddb 'dump' command seems to always request a vmcore
dump even if a textdump was requested earlier, e.g., by 'textdump set'.
Finally, ddb 'call' command is not documented.

NetGDB(4) is a component of a system using a panic-time network stack to
remotely debug crashed FreeBSD kernels over the network, instead of
traditional serial interfaces.
There are three pieces in the complete NetGDB system.
First, a dedicated proxy server must be running to accept connections from
both NetGDB and gdb(1), and pass bidirectional traffic between the two
protocols.
Second, the NetGDB client is activated much like ordinary 'gdb' and
similarly to 'netdump' in ddb(4) after a panic. Like other debugnet(4)
clients (netdump(4)), the network interface on the route to the proxy server
must be online and support debugnet(4).
Finally, the remote (k)gdb(1) uses 'target remote <proxy>:<port>' (like any
other TCP remote) to connect to the proxy server.
The NetGDB v1 protocol speaks the literal GDB remote serial protocol, and
uses a 1:1 relationship between GDB packets and sequences of debugnet
packets (fragmented by MTU). There is no encryption utilized to keep
debugging sessions private, so this is only appropriate for local
segments or trusted networks.

Add a 'X -s <server> -c <client> [-g <gateway>] -i <interface>' subroutine
to the generic debugnet code. The imagined use is both netdump, shown here,
and NetGDB (vaporware). It uses the ddb(4) lexer, with some new extensions,
to parse out IPv4 addresses.
'Netdump' uses the generic debugnet routine to load a configuration and
start a dump, without any netdump configuration prior to panic.

membar_producer is supposed to be a store-store barrier.
Also, in the code that FreeBSD has ported from illumos membar_producer
is used only with regular stores to regular memory (with respect to
caching).
We do not have an MI primitive for the store-store barrier, so
atomic_thread_fence_rel is the closest we have as it provides
(load | store) -> store barrier.
Previously, membar_producer was an empty function call on all 32-bit
arm-s, 32-bit powerpc, riscv and all mips variants. I think that it was
inadequate.
On other platforms, such as amd64, arm64, i386, powerpc64, sparc64,
membar_producer was implemented using stronger primitives than required
for a store-store barrier with respect to regular memory access.
For example, it used sfence on amd64 and lock-ed nop in i386 (despite TSO).
On powerpc64 we now use recommended lwsync instead of eieio.
On sparc64 FreeBSD uses TSO mode.
On arm64/aarch64 we now use dmb sy instead of dmb ish. Not sure if this
is an improvement, actually.
After this change we can drop opensolaris_atomic.S for aarch64, amd64,
powerpc64 and sparc64 as all required atomic operations have either
direct or light-weight mapping to FreeBSD native atomic operations.

VROC used Intel meta data so graid(8) works with it. However, graid(8)
supports RAID 0,1,10 for read and write. I have some early code to

with SSDs since it can cause write amplification from updating the parity
data.

This provides a framework to define a template describing
a set of "variables of interest" and the intended way for
the framework to maintain them (for example the maximum, sum,
t-digest, or a combination thereof). Afterwards the user
code feeds in the raw data, and the framework maintains
these variables inside a user-provided, opaque stats blobs.
The framework also provides a way to selectively extract the
stats from the blobs. The stats(3) framework can be used in
both userspace and the kernel.
See the stats(3) manual page for details.
This will be used by the upcoming TCP statistics gathering code,
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20655.
The stats(3) framework is disabled by default for now, except
in the NOTES kernel (for QA); it is expected to be enabled
in amd64 GENERIC after a cool down period.

This change allows to specify a watchdog(9) timeout for a system
shutdown. The timeout is activated when the watchdogd daemon is
stopped. The idea is to a prevent any indefinite hang during late
stages of the shutdown. The feature is implemented in rc.d/watchdogd,
it builds upon watchdogd -x option.
Note that the shutdown timeout is not actiavted when the watchdogd
service is individually stopped by an operator. It is also not
activated for the 'shutdown' to the single-user mode. In those cases it
is assumed that the operator knows what they are doing and they have
means to recover the system should it hang.
Significant subchanges and implementation details:
- the argument to rc.shutdown, completely unused before, is assigned to
rc_shutdown variable that can be inspected by rc scripts
- init(8) passes "single" or "reboot" as the argument, this is not
changed
- the argument is not mandatory and if it is not set then rc_shutdown is
set to "unspecified"
- however, the default jail management scripts and jail configuration
examples have been updated to pass "jail" to rc.shutdown, just in case
- the new timeout can be set via watchdogd_shutdown_timeout rc option
- for consistency, the regular timeout can now be set via
watchdogd_timeout rc option
- watchdogd_shutdown_timeout and watchdogd_timeout override timeout
specifications in watchdogd_flags
- existing configurations, where the new rc options are not set, should
keep working as before
I am not particularly wed to any of the implementation specifics.
I am open to changing or removing any of them as long as the provided
functionality is the same (or very close) to the proposed one.
For example, I think it can be implemented without using watchdogd -x,
by means of watchdog(1) alone. In that case there would be a small
window between stopping watchdogd and running watchdog, but I think that
that is acceptable.
