This uses vfork() for simple commands and command substitutions containing a
single simple command, invoking an external program under certain conditions
(no redirections or variable assignments, non-interactive shell, no job
control). These restrictions limit the amount of code executed in a vforked
child.
There is a large speedup (for example 35%) in microbenchmarks. The
difference in buildkernel is smaller (for example 0.5%) but still
statistically significant. See
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2012-January/037581.html
for some numbers.
The use of vfork() can be disabled by setting a variable named
SH_DISABLE_VFORK.

update access and modification times by reading and writing the file.
chmod(2) in rw() doesn't help because utimes(2) allow owner and the
super-user to change times. Using just utimes(2) should be sufficient.
The -f option becomes no-op.

The cs driver requires a table with firmware values. An
alternative firmware is available in a similar Open Sound
System driver. This is actually a partial revert of
Revision 77504.
Special thanks to joel@ for patiently testing several
replacement attempts.
The csa driver and the complete sound system are now free
of the GPL.

disconnected swap device.
This is quick and imperfect solution, as swap device will still be opened
and GEOM will not be able to destroy it. Proper solution would be to
automatically turn off and close disconnected swap device, but with existing
code it will cause panic if there is at least one page on device, even if
it is unimportant page of the user-level process. It needs some work.

buffer being too short the return oldlen is equal to buffer size.
Without this additional check sockstat gets stuck in loop leaking the
memory if the returned ENOMEM was due the exceeded memorylocked
limit. This is easily can be observed running `limits -l 1k sockstat'.

- for embedded SATA controllers (SoC) these bits have been marked as reserved

it is possible that a single AIO event will be reported to multiple
threads, it is not threading friendly, and the existing API can not
control this behavior.
Allocate a kevent flags field sigev_notify_kevent_flags for AIO event
notification in sigevent, and allow user to pass EV_CLEAR, EV_DISPATCH
or EV_ONESHOT to AIO kernel code, user can control whether the event
should be cleared once it is retrieved by a thread. This change should
be comptaible with existing application, because the field should have
already been zero-filled, and no additional action will be taken by
kernel.
