The symptoms were that outgoing DHCP requests for diskless kernels
had the IP header corrupt. After long investigations, the source of
the problem was found in ether_output() - for SIMPLEX interfaces
and broadcast traffic, a copy of the packet is passed back to the kernel
through if_simloop(). However if_simloop() modifies the mbuf, while
the copy obtained through m_copym() is a readonly one.
The bug has been there forever, but it has been triggered only recently
by a change in sosend_dgram() which passed down mbufs with sufficient
space to prepend the header.
This fix is trivial - use m_dup() instead of m_copy() to create
the copy. As an alternative, we could try and modify if_simloop()
to play safely with readonly mbufs, but i don't think it is worthwhile
because 1) this is a relatively infrequent code path so we do not need
to worry too much about performance, and 2) the cost of doing an
extra m_pullup in if_simloop() is probably the same as doing the
copy of the cluster, anyways.

field to "unsigned long" so that it actually works.
Thanks to Robert Sciuk for sending me a DVD that
demonstrated ISO9660-formatted media with a file >2G.
I've now fixed this both in libarchive and in the cd9660
filesystem.

This allows script compatibility with Linux, whose
"hostname" is the same as BSD "hostname -s".
With this change, "hostname -f" is the same on
both systems.

A kernel with INET6 always has ::1 on lo0, so in the case of
ipv6_enable="NO" the lo0 can have ::1 with no link-local address.
This is a violation of the IPv6 specification. As a workaround for
this situation, fe80::1 is added in rc.d/auto_linklocal when lo0 has
no link-local address. This should not be harmful for IPv4-only users.
config_freebsd.h. archive_platform.h decides which config file
to bring in and uses some of those selectors to define wrapper
macros and other compatibility glue.
timer in xl_txeof()/xl_txeof_90xB(); xl_poll_locked() unconditionally
invokes xl_txeof()/xl_txeof_90xB(), effectively circumventing that
the watchdog ever fires in the DEVICE_POLLING case as its timer is
constantly reloaded.
- Remove the banal and pedantically outdated comment regarding setting
xl_wdog_timer to 0 in xl_txeof().

For filesystems which use vfs_mount_error() to log an error, this
char buffer will be populated with a string error message.
If nmount() fails, in addition to printing out strerror(errno),
print out the "errmsg" populated by vfs_mount_error().
(somewhat) meaningful message and terminate the build. It'd be
nice to print a proper URL from which to fetch the file but that
seems problematic. Leave a suggested starting point in this file
(TBD: add it to the man page).

Rather than rendering a different version of the release notes for
every architecture, we now produce a single release notes document
that covers all architectures.
This change makes document maintenence easier (because there is no
longer a need to support each architecture specifically in the
src/release/doc/ and www/ build infrastructures). It's also
easier to read because there is now exactly one release notes document,
and readers can see changes that affected various subsets of
architectures.
Discussed on: -doc@
rather than treating them as a fatal exception and halting. At least one
storage BIOS (some newer mpt(4) parts) have a breakpoint instruction in
their disk read routine.

Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.
Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.
Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.
