be used to to eg. boot from a temporary md_image preloaded by loader(8),
setup an iSCSI session, and continue booting from rootfs mounted over
iSCSI.

The implementation uses a new sysctl, kern.suspend_blocked; init(8) sets
this while rc.suspend runs, and the ACPI sleep code ignores requests while
the sysctl is set.

The tracking generated warnings when the line number of an existing tty in
/etc/ttys changed, which would corrupt utmp (as it was indexed by the line
number). With utmpx, the line number no longer matters, so the tracking is
no longer needed.
Though we should open the TTY with O_NONBLOCK to prevent rc(8) execution
from potentially stalling, we must not forget to clear the flag later
on, to prevent read(2) calls from failing later on.
This prevented the shell pathname prompt from working properly.

If the environment doesn't offer a working /dev/console, the existing
version of init(8) will simply refuse running rc(8) scripts. This means
you'll only have a system running init(8) and nothing else.
Change the code to do the following:
- Open /dev/console like we used to do, but make it more robust to use
O_NONBLOCK to prevent blocking on a carrier.
- If this fails, use /dev/null as stdin and /var/log/init.log as stdout
and stderr.
- If even this fails, use /dev/null as stdin, stdout and stderr.
So why us this useful? Well, if you remove the `getpid() == 1' check in
main(), you can now use init(8) inside jails to properly execute rc(8).
It still requires some polishing, as existing tools assume init(8) has
PID 1.
Also it is now possible to use use init(8) on `headless' devices that
don't even have a serial boot console.
This has the following advantages:
- During boot, the BOOT_TIME record is now written right after the file
systems become writable, but before users are allowed to log in. This
means that they can't cause `hidden logins' by logging in right before
init(8) kicks in.
- The pututxline(3) function may potentially block on file locking,
though this is very rare to occur. By placing it in an rc script, the
user can still kill it with ^C if needed.
- Most importantly: jails don't use init(8). This means that a force
reboot of a system running jails will leave stale entries in the
accounting database of the jails individually.
These tools declare global variables without using the static keyword,
even though their use is limited to a single C-file, or without placing
an extern declaration of them in the proper header file.
It does not make sense to shut down daemons that were not started. In
particular, this fixes loss of mixer settings when shutting down using
shutdown(8), init(8) or ctrl+alt+del from single-user mode.
If /etc/rc reboots, /etc/rc.shutdown is not run.
Also fix segfaults and other erratic behaviour if init receives SIGHUP or
SIGTSTP while in single-user mode.
This commit does not attempt to fix any badness with signal handlers
(assumption that pointers can be read and written atomically, EINTR race
condition). I believe it does not make this badness any worse.

According to a comment, we cannot safely remove utmpx entries here
anymore. This is because the libc routines may block on file locking. In
an ideal world login(1) should just remove the entries, which is why I'm
disabling this code for now. If it turns out we get lots of stale
entries here, we should figure out a way to deal with that.
logwtmp() gets called with the raw strings that are written to disk. For
regular user entries, this isn't too bad, but when booting/shutting
down, the contents get rather cryptic.
Just call the standardized pututxline().
Even though I thought this bug was somewhere in the TTY layer, it turns
out init(8) doesn't make sure /dev/console is opened initially properly.
I've added revoke() to two pieces of code:
- death(): Apart from killing the gettys on shutdown, this doesn't
guarantee the TTY to be closed immediately.
- runshutdown(): Just like setctty(), we should revoke /dev/console.
Applications like syslogd may have file descriptors to the console.
This includes support for running a script to setup that directory.
The kenv variables init_chroot and init_script control this behavior,
and are documented in loader(8) that's about to be committed (along
with the other variables like init_path...).

As discussed on -current, there is no sensitive info in /sbin/init
to prevent reading it from non-privileged users, nor any reason to
remove the 'x' bit as the first thing the program does is check the
uid and exit if it is not run by root.
Instead (and this is why i make the change), mode 500 prevents
operation when exporting the partition without -maproot=0 to diskless
clients.
All previuos releases are affected by the same problem, so a merge
to RELENG_6 at least would be appropriate (after proper re@ approval
of course).
shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds).
We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in
/etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be
configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be
configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 120 seconds.
Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999
(as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and
hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from
init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to
control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the
sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which
isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via
/etc/rc.conf), etc.
As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which
directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under
sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document
it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8).
Also document it in the manpages init(8) and rc.conf(5).
