o Unlike xor, in Jenkins hash every bit of input affects virtually
every bit of output, thus salting the hash actually works. With
xor salting only provides a false sense of security, since if
hash(x) collides with hash(y), then of course, hash(x) ^ salt
would also collide with hash(y) ^ salt. [1]
o Jenkins provides much better distribution than xor, very close to
ideal.
TCP connection setup/teardown benchmark has shown a 10% increase
with default hash size, and with bigger hashes that still provide
possibility for collisions. With enormous hash size, when dataset is
by an order of magnitude smaller than hash size, the benchmark has
shown 4% decrease in performance decrease, which is expected and
acceptable.

Some places in our network stack already have const
arguments (like if_output() routines and LLE functions).
Code using ifa_ifwith (and similar functins) along with
LLE/_output functions is currently bound to use tricks
like __DECONST(). Provide a cleaner way by making sockaddr
lookup key really constant.

in the frame buffer when we flip pixels. Allow the detection
to be bypassed by setting the uga_framebuffer and uga_stride
variables. The kernel console works fine even when we can't
detect pixel changes in the frame buffer, which indicates
that the problem could be with reading from the frame buffer
and not writing to it.
This is an utility for managing SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device.
For now only one command is supported "locate" which will change the test of the
external LED associated to a given disk.
Usage if the following:
sesutil locate disk [on|off]
Disk can be a device name: "da12" or a special keyword: "all".

nlge(4) is supposed to deprecate rge(4) for Broadcom XLR when it was
introduced 5 years ago.
rge doesn't build on -CURRENT due to MII changes. All the XLR kernel confs
use nlge. Let's get rid of the old driver for FreeBSD 11. We can use
10-STABLE or SVN to go back and look at the old driver if needed.

Coredump notes depend on being able to invoke dump routines twice; once
in a dry-run mode to get the size of the note, and another to actually
emit the note to the corefile.
When a note helper emits a different length section the second time
around than the length it requested the first time, the kernel produces
a corrupt coredump.
NT_PROCSTAT_FILES output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' fd table
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move around during dump, this is racy.
So:
- Detect badly behaved notes in putnote() and pad underfilled notes.
- Add a fail point, debug.fail_point.fill_kinfo_vnode__random_path to
exercise the NT_PROCSTAT_FILES corruption. It simply picks random
lengths to expand or truncate paths to in fo_fill_kinfo_vnode().
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_fileinfo, to allow users to
disable kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_FILES notes. This should avoid
both FILES note corruption and truncation, even if filenames change,
at the cost of about 1 kiB in padding bloat per open fd. Document
the new sysctl in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_files to self-limit in the 2nd pass. Since
sometimes this will result in a short write, pad up to our advertised
size. This addresses note corruption, at the risk of sometimes
truncating the last several fd info entries.
- Fix NT_PROCSTAT_FILES consumers libutil and libprocstat to grok the
zero padding.

operations that map a single page that has an associated vm_page_t.
This does not permit mapping larger regions (such as a PCI memory
BAR) and it does not permit mapping addresses beyond the top of RAM
(such as a 64-bit BAR located above the top of RAM).
Instead of using a single OBJT_DEVICE object and passing the physaddr via
the offset as a hack, create a new sglist and OBJT_SG object for each
mmap request. The requested memory attribute is applied to the object
thus affecting all pages mapped by the request.

delete a logic volume on status change which is NOT what we want here.
The original code is correct in that when the volume changes status
the driver will only delete the volume if the status is one of the
fatal errors. A drive failure in a mirrored volume is NOT a situtation
where the volume should dissapear.

PCI BARs does not necessarily correspond to the upper-left

Use the same technique to determine the stride. Except for
changing the pixel at (0,0), we change the pixel at (0,1).
