* Make Yarrow an optional kernel component -- enabled by "YARROW_RNG" option.
The files sha2.c, hash.c, randomdev_soft.c and yarrow.c comprise yarrow.
* random(4) device doesn't really depend on rijndael-*. Yarrow, however, does.
* Add random_adaptors.[ch] which is basically a store of random_adaptor's.
random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
+ yarrow
+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah
* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.
* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.
* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
system wide one.

Before this change path matching had the following features:
- for device nodes the patterns were matched against full path
- in the above case '/' in a path could be matched by a wildcard
- for directories and links only the last component was matched
So, for example, a pattern like 're*' could match the following entries:
- re0 device
- responder/u0 device
- zvol/recpool directory
Although it was possible to work around this behavior (once it was spotted
and understood), it was very confusing and contrary to documentation.
Now we always match a full path for all types of devfs entries (devices,
directories, links) and a '/' has to be matched explicitly.
This behavior follows the shell globbing rules.
This change is originally developed by Jaakko Heinonen.
Many thanks!

make the ARM EABI the default ABI on arm, armeb, armv6 and armv6eb.
This is intended to be the default ABI from now on with the old ABI to be
retired. Because of this all users are strongly suggested to upgrade to the
ARM EABI.
As the two ABIs are incompatible it is unlikely upgrading in place will
work. Users should perform a full backup and either use an external machine
to upgrade, or install to an alternative location on their media. They
should also reinstall all ports or packages when these are available.
The only known issues are:
- pkg incorrectly detects the ABI. This is fixed upstream, and will a
patch will be made to the port.
- GDB can have issues with executables built with clang.

tunable by default.
This will allow GENERIC configurations to boot on small memory boxes, but
not require end users who want to use CTL to recompile their kernel. They
can simply set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 in loader.conf.
The eventual solution to the memory usage problem is to change the way
CTL allocates memory to be more configurable, but this should fix things
for small memory situations in the mean time.
UPDATING: Explain the change in the CTL configuration, and
how users can enable CTL if they would like to use
it.
sys/conf/options: Add a new option, CTL_DISABLE, that prevents CTL
from initializing.
ctl.c: If CTL_DISABLE is turned on, don't initialize.
i386/conf/GENERIC,
amd64/conf/GENERIC: Re-enable device ctl, and add the CTL_DISABLE
option.
It unfortunately steals a fair chunk of RAM at startup even if it's not

part of our standard upgrade procedure, following the recent addition of
an "auditdistd" user, add a note about it to UPDATING explicitly.
Instead, add protocol specific mbuf flags M_IP_NEXTHOP and
M_IP6_NEXTHOP. Use them to indicate that the mbuf's chain
contains the PACKET_TAG_IPFORWARD tag. And do a tag lookup
only when this flag is set.

in network byte order. Any host byte order processing is
done in local variables and host byte order values are
never[1] written to a packet.
After this change a packet processed by the stack isn't
modified at all[2] except for TTL.
After this change a network stack hacker doesn't need to
scratch his head trying to figure out what is the byte order
at the given place in the stack.
[1] One exception still remains. The raw sockets convert host
byte order before pass a packet to an application. Probably
this would remain for ages for compatibility.
[2] The ip_input() still subtructs header len from ip->ip_len,
but this is planned to be fixed soon.
