Add kqueue tracking to jails, inspired by how it's done with processes. EVFILT_JAIL takes a jail ID, and tracks with NOTE_JAIL_SET, NOTE_JAIL_ATTACH, NOTE_JAIL_REMOVE, and NOTE_JAIL_CHILD. It also uses the NOTE_TRACK mechanism that EVFILT_PROC uses, using the same result flags (NOTE_CHILD and NOTE_TRACKERR). Relnotes: yes Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51940
Similar to process descriptors, jail desriptors are allow jail administration using the file descriptor interface instead of JIDs. They come from and can be used by jail_set(2) and jail_get(2), and there are two new system calls, jail_attach_jd(2) and jail_remove_jd(2).

When starting single-user mode, use the home directory from user root as current directory and for the HOME environment variable. If the directory does not exist, set HOME=/. Also adjust /root/.profile to stop setting HOME, since it should always have been set now. This is intended to keep shell startup files working in single-user mode after /.profile has been removed.

We don't want a tests-dev package, because this means set-devel depends on tests-dev, which transitively depends on tests, which means you can't install set-devel without also getting tests. The only real "dev" files in tests-dev are from ATF (libprivateatf), so move that to its own package and add a dependency from tests. Also move Kyua to its own package, since this might be useful for running tests even when the user doesn't want the whole set of base tests installed. Add a dependency from -tests to both -atf and -kyua, and a dependency on -set-base, since the tests won't work without the full base system installed. The remaining "dev" files in tests are actually test artifacts, not real development libraries. Add a new NO_DEV_PACKAGE option to bsd.lib.mk, which causes dev files to be installed in the base package instead of creating a -dev package, and set this option for everything that installs test libraries. While here, add a slightly more informative description for the tests package. MFC after: 3 seconds Reviewed by: bapt, emaste Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D52597
Move mandoc to its own package so users can install it independently of -utilities. Put the package in the minimal set, since we also ship manpages in minimal and "man" is a basic Unix utility. Add a pkg-triggers(5) hook to run makewhatis when new manpages are installed, so that apropos(1) works. This depends on a new pkg(8) feature expected to be in in the upcoming 2.3.2 release; in the mean time, this is a no-op (i.e., having an older pkg doesn't break anything, it just won't run the trigger).

Implement RFC 7217 (A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)) in our IPv6 stack. A new ifconfig `stableaddr` flag is added to enable the feature on interfaces, which defaults to on or off for new interfaces based on the sysctl `net.inet6.ip6.use_stableaddr` (off by default, so this commit causes no change in behavior with default settings). The algorithm follows the RFC in its logic, using SHA256-HMAC as the algorithm to derive addresses so as to provide code that can be leveraged by future implentations of RFC 8981, leveraging the `hostuuid` as the secret. The source of the hostidentifier can be configured using the sysctl `net.inet6.ip6.stableaddr_netifsource`, while the number of retries generating a new address in case of collision can be configured using the `net.inet6.ip6.stableaddr_maxretries` sysctl (default 3). Documentation about all these flags is added to the ifconfig(8) man page.

Nearly everyone wants powerd to manage CPU frequency scaling on real hardware, even if -utilities isn't installed. Conversely, very small jails might want -utilities but don't need powerd.

Currently libbz2 is in the libbz2 package, while bzip2 itself is in -utilities, which is inconsistent. Move both the library and the utility to a new -bzip2 package, and use LIB_PACKAGE to create a separate -bzip2-lib package for runtime dependencies. Add the bzip2 package to the minimal set, and since newsyslogd uses bzip2 for logfile compression, add a dependency from there.

While preserving compatibility ('root' implied if no user is specified,
option '-i' not setting groups), introduce options to control finely
which user and group IDs are set in the launched process.
To minimize the risks of user error, mdo(1) by default enforces that all
user and group IDs are specified, either with explicit values from the
command-line or, if a known user name is passed with '-u', from the
corresponding content of the password and group databases. The other
main type of use cases is to start from the current process'
credentials, only amending part of them. It is now also possible to
blend both approaches, where some parts must be specified and the others
can just be amended or left as is.
Options:
* As before:
-u: Specifies a user name or ID to change all user IDs to. If a known
name is passed, also automatically sets all groups as per the
password and group databases.
-i: Starts from the current groups, instead of having to specify them
by using '-u' with a known user name or explicitly.
* New:
-k: Starts from the current users (incompatible with '-u'). Implies '-i'.
-g: Sets/overrides the primary group IDs with the passed group name or ID.
-G: Sets/overrides the supplementary groups set with the passed list of
comma-separated names or IDs.
-s: Amend the supplementary groups set according to the list of
comma-separated directives from the following:
- @: Empties the set. Must be the first directive. Incompatible with '-G'.
- +<group>: Add a group to the set.
- -<group>: Remove a group from the set. Takes precedence over +<group>.
--euid: Overrides the effective user ID.
--ruid: Overrides the real user ID.
--svuid: Overrides the saved user ID.
--egid: Overrides the effective group ID.
--rgid: Overrides the real group ID.
--svgid: Overrides the saved group ID.
Option '-k' was introduced as a requirement to be explicit when one
wants to keep the current user(s) instead of specifying new ones. This
is both for the purpose of avoiding foot-shooting and preserving the
possibility to omit '-u' to switch to 'root'. In order to avoid
confusion, if any user or group overrides are specified, mdo(1) however
enforces that either '-u' or '-k' has been specified (so, in practice,
'-u root' is implied only in the absence of any other options except
'-i').
Some base supplementary groups set is needed when '-s' is used without
directive '@'. It can be an explicit one specified with '-G',
effectively meaning that '-G' is processed before '-s'. Else, it is
determined from the password/group database (see initgroups(3)) if '-u'
with a user name was passed, or is simply the current set if '-i' (or
'-k') was specified. Other cases require specifying the full set (using
'-G' or '-s' with '@'), and will fail otherwise.
As the release process for 15.0 is progressing, this is committed in
advance of the still-in-progress tests and manual page updates.
Note for MFC to stable/14: As initgroups() has its old behavior,
consistently with it, remove the effective GID from being passed also as
a supplementary group.

This was previously deprecated and is slated for removal in 15.0. Users who still need ftpd(8) can install the ftp/freebsd-ftpd port. Retain the ftp(d) PAM services since other FTP daemons use them. Update /etc/inetd.conf to point to /usr/local. Add ftpd to ObsoleteFiles, but do not list configuration files since users may want to preserve these to use with the freebsd-ftpd port. There is still some language in the manual referring to ftpd(8) which is relevant to the port, which has been retained but updated to reference the port.
