The badsys() handler for SIGSYS was added as a transtion aid for kernels
lacking sysctl() in 1993. It is unsafe and unsound so remove it rather
than running the risk of a privilege-dropping system call being silently
omitted.
This partially reverts SCCSID 6.12 (Berkeley) 03/03/93 "add code to
change the system security level".
Don't assume objects in program sections have a size of a pointer.
The size of the object at 'addr' is unknown and might be smaller than
the size of a pointer (e.g. some x86 instructions are smaller than a
pointer). Instead, just check that the address is in the bounds of
the program header.
Compute the correct size of the string to move forward.
Previously this was counting the amount of spare room at the start of
the buffer that the string needed to move forward and passing that as
the number of bytes to copy to memmove rather than the length of the
string to be copied.
In the strfmon test in the test suite this caused the memmove to
overflow the allocated buffer by one byte which CHERI caught.
Avoid unnecessary object locking in vm_page_grab_pages_unlocked().
We were needlessly acquiring the object lock to call
vm_page_grab_pages() even when all of the requested pages were looked up
locklessly. Fix that, stop testing for count == 0 in
vm_page_grab_pages(), and add assertions to help catch this kind of
mistake.

In ltc430x(4), add the ability to configure control register 2 via FDT or
hints data. Control register 2 holds the settings a user might want to
configure, such as the timeout value for idle busses and whether to enable
the mass-writes feature.
Also add hint support for disconnecting idle busses (which was already
supported using FDT data).
Update the manpage with the new features, and also split the hints section
into separate lists of required and optional hints.
- Change the type of hw.pagesizes to OPAQUE, since it returns an array.
- Modify the handler to only truncate the returned length if the caller
supplied an output buffer. This allows use of the trick of passing a
NULL output buffer to fetch the output size, while preserving
compatibility if MAXPAGESIZES is increased.
- Add a "S,pagesize" formatter to sysctl(8).

Currently we use a single bit to indicate whether the virtual page is
part of a superpage. To support a forthcoming implementation of
non-transparent 1GB superpages, it is useful to provide more detailed
information about large page sizes.
The change converts MINCORE_SUPER into a mask for MINCORE_PSIND(psind)
values, indicating a mapping of size psind, where psind is an index into
the pagesizes array returned by getpagesizes(3), which in turn comes
from the hw.pagesizes sysctl. MINCORE_PSIND(1) is equal to the old
value of MINCORE_SUPER.
For now, two bits are used to record the page size, permitting values
of MAXPAGESIZES up to 4.

This allows privileged userspace processes to find information about the
physical page backing a given mapping. It is useful in applications
such as DPDK which perform some of their own memory management.
Further improve the drm2 deprecation message, only displaying information
about the port for relevant architectures, and skipping the message
completely from arm, which uses some parts of drm2 still.
This is mostly intended to be merged to 12, since the base bits of drm2 on
FreeBSD 13 are only really used on arm.

If the call to _pmap_allocpte() is not sleepable, it is possible that
allocation of PML4 or PDP page is successful but either PDP or PD page
is not. Restructured code in _pmap_allocpte() leaves zero-referenced
page in the paging structure.
Handle it by checking refcount of the page one level above failed
alloc and free that page if its reference count is zero.

The proper procedure was not followed in r364943; all of these that were
deleted should have instead been moved over to the blacklist so that certctl
can DTRT.
Users must still `certctl rehash` after this, but this should generally be
done by one of mergemaster/etcupdate/freebsd-update/pkgbase already; note
that freebsd-update doesn't come into play for this particular update, as
these have not yet made it into a release.
Future work (after svn -> git) will likely change the script that updatecert
invokes to facilitate the process, rather than trusting that kevans or
whomever updates in the future will remember.

When CPUTYPE is an architecture name use -march
Allow architecture names to be passed in to the build system via CPUTYPE.
This allows the user to use values such as armv8.1-a or armv8-a+crc as
the CPUTYPE.
We must enter NET_EPOCH before calling ether_output_frame(). Several of the
functions it calls (pfil_run_hooks, if_transmit) expect to be running in the
NET_EPOCH.
While here remove an unneeded EPOCH entry (which wasn't wide enough to cover
BRIDGE_INPUT).
Micro optimise _callout_stop_safe() by removing dead code.
The CS_DRAIN flag cannot be set at the same time like the async-drain function

of the function.

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE):

- add ability to select 2.5 and 5G speeds on devices which support it
- add sysctls to enable EEE and read related statistics
