-P was introduced in 4.4BSD-Lite2 around 1994. It overwrote file contents
with a pass of 0xff, 0x00, then 0xff, in a low effort attempt to "really
delete" files.
It has no user-visible effect; at the end of the day, the file is unlinked via
the filesystem. Furthermore, the utility of overwriting files with patterned
data is extremely limited due to caveats at every layer of the stack[0] and
therefore mostly futile. At the least, three passes is likely wasteful on
modern hardware[1]. It could also be seen as a violation of the "Unix
Philosophy" to do one thing per tiny, composable program.
Since 1994, FreeBSD has left it alone; OpenBSD replaced it with a single
pass of arc4random(3) output in 2012[2]; and NetBSD implemented partial, but
explicitly incomplete support for U.S. DoD 5220.22-M, "National Industrial
Security Program Operating Manual" in 2004[3].
NetBSD's enhanced comment above rm_overwrite makes a strong case for removing
the flag entirely:
> This is an expensive way to keep people from recovering files from your
> non-snapshotted FFS filesystems using fsdb(8). Really. No more.
>
> It is impossible to actually conform to the exact procedure given in

As a first step towards evental removal, make it a placebo. It's not like
it was serving any security function. It is not defined in or mentioned by
POSIX.
If you are security conscious and need to erase your files, use a
woodchipper. At a minimum, the entire disk needs to be overwritten, not
just one file.

Maxmem is the highest address for physical memory in the system. It's
measured in pages which, since max() returns a u_int, should allow for up to
2^44 bytes of memory addressable by the system. However, on POWER9 systems
at least, memory addressed by additional socketed CPUs begins at addresses
far above the 2^44 mark, causing issues with memory accesses and DMA, when
memory is addressed on the auxiliary CPUs. Use the MAX() macro instead,
which doesn't convert arguments, so retains Maxmem and all calculations as
its defined long type (64-bit on powerpc64), keeping the maximum address
correct.

This covers scenario when ARC may not shrink as fast as it could:
1. arc_size < arc_c and arc_adjust() does not evict anything, returning
zero to arc_reclaim_thread();
2. arc_available_memory() reports memory pressure, which can not be
satisfied by arc_kmem_reap_now();
3. arc_shrink() reduces arc_c and calls arc_adjust(), return of which is
ignored;
4. even if the last arc_adjust() could not satisfy arc_size < arc_c,
arc_reclaim_thread() will still go to sleep, since the first one
returned zero.

As dev_t is now a 64-bit integer, it requires special handling as a
system call argument. 64-bit arguments are split between two 64-bit
integers due to the way arguments are promoted to allow reuse of most
system call implementations. They must be reassembled before use.
Further, 64-bit arguments at an odd offset (counting from zero) are
padded and slid to the next slot on powerpc and mips. Fix the
non-COMPAT11 system call by adding a freebsd32_mknodat() and
appropriately padded declerations.
The COMPAT11 system calls are fully compatible with the 64-bit
implementations so remove the freebsd32_ versions.
Use uint32_t consistently as the type of the old dev_t. This matches
the old definition.

Include the ip header in the size passed to m_align. On 64-bit archs
this will have the net effect of moving everything 4 bytes later in the
mbuf or cluster. This will result in slightly pessimal alignment for

From Jake:
The iflib stack does not disable TSO automatically when TXCSUM is
disabled, instead assuming that the driver will correctly handle TSOs
even when CSUM_IP is not set.
This results in iflib calling ixl_isc_txd_encap with packets which have
CSUM_IP_TSO, but do not have CSUM_IP or CSUM_IP_TCP set. Because of
this, ixl_tx_setup_offload will not setup the IPv4 checksum offloading.
This results in bad TSO packets being sent if a user disables TXCSUM
without disabling TSO.
Fix this by updating the ixl_tx_setup_offload function to check both
CSUM_IP and CSUM_IP_TSO when deciding whether to enable IPv4 checksums.
Once this is corrected, another issue for TSO packets is revealed. The
driver sets IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM in order to enable a work around that
causes the ip->sum field to be zero'd. This is necessary for ixl
hardware to correctly perform TSOs.
However, if TXCSUM is disabled, then the work around is not enabled, as
CSUM_IP will not be set when the iflib stack checks to see if it should
clear the sum field.
Fix this by adding IFLIB_TSO_INIT_IP to the iflib flags for the iavf and
ixl interface files.
It is uncertain if the hardware needs IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM for any other
case besides TSO, so leave that flag assigned. It may be worth
investigating to see if this work around flag could be disabled in
a future change.
Once both of these changes are made, the ixl driver should correctly
offload TSO packets when TSO4 offload is enabled, regardless of whether
TXCSUM is enabled or disabled.
