Changes made between OpenBSD 7.8 and -current

• Let AF_FRAME handle PTP and CFM type Ethernet packets.
• Deprecate RW_SLEEPFAIL.
• Default to a maximum of 4 threads for ld.lld(1).
• Add GMAC-related RK3528 clock support.
• Kill UVM_LK_ENTER/EXIT.
• Use a FIFO queue for passing dead threads to the reaper, reducing latency with large numbers of CPUs and jobs.
• Enable dt(4) on octeon.
• Merged changes from tzcode2013a into localtime(3) and zic(8).
• In ksh(1) VI mode, prevent display corruption when the command line being edited starts with a UTF-8 continuation byte.
• Allow packets being sent out pppoe(4) interfaces to bypass queues and go straight onto the underlying interface.
• Disallow nc(1) -T with = when arguments are not key=value pairs.
• Add support for the ERSPAN Type II protocol via erspan(4) to gre(4).
• Correct fw_update(8) deletion of files with spaces.
• Make vmd(8) imsg objects opaque and sanitize char[]s.
• Add R format modifier to tmux(1) to repeat an argument.
• Add -E to run-shell to forward stderr as well as stdout in tmux(1).
• Make EVFILT_TIMER mp-safe.
• Move ipsec-enc-alg, ipsec-auth-alg and ipsec-comp-alg sysctl(2) variables out of netlock.
• Make sysctl(2) clear and fill memory within same mutex block.
• Add missing multicast counter mfc_looksups and mfc_misses to netstat(1).
• Add mp-safe multicast stats with per cpu counters.
• Make lo(4).4 attach multiple interface queues, allowing local network connections to use multiple softnets.
• Fix sign of %z output in zic(8), and add DST offset.
• Cache socket lock during TCP input.
• Introduce bpflogd(8) to capture packets from BPF and write them to a log file.
• Avoid lock contention in futex(2) syscalls.
• Unlock KERN_CONSBUF and KERN_MSGBUF.
• Fix ftp(1) fetch behavior around bad URL command line arguments.
• Remove DSA signature support from OpenSSH.
• Add lldp(8) -s socket to allow connecting to an lldpd(8) on a different unix socket.
• Move agent listener sockets from /tmp to under ~/.ssh/agent for both ssh-agent(1) and forwarded sockets in sshd(8). Add ssh-agent(1) -U, -u and -uu flags relating to socket cleanup and -T to return the socket to /tmp.
• Fix race in TCP SYN cache get.
• Add installer preference for disks bigger than 1G as default root disk.
• Imported pkgconf 2.4.3.
• Add RK3528 support to rkusbphy(4).
• Allocate a uid/gid for lldpd(8) to run with as an _lldpd user.
• Introduce lldp(8), a command line tool for interacting with lldpd(8).
• Introduce lldpd(8), a daemon that acts as an LLDP agent on Ethernet interfaces.
• Record which timeouts are running so timeout_barrier can do less work.
• Make vmctl(8) show file path in error messages.
• Add RK3528 support to rkclock(4).
• Add an option variation-selector-always-wide to instruct tmux(1) not to always interpret VS16 as a wide character and assume the terminal does likewise.
• Enable af_frame, paving the way for lldp support in base.
• Update to libSM 1.2.6.
• Update to libICE 1.1.2.
• Update to libX11 1.8.12.
• Update to xtrans 1.6.0.
• Avoid timeout_del_barrier when cancelling the timeout in sleep_finish.
• Prevent pkg_add(1) update from advising file removal appropriate only when deleting packages.
• Make it possible to run the upper part of the fault handler in parallel.
• Remove the functionality of fs.posix.setuid sysctl.
• Fix pool corruption in qwx(4) devices when the interface goes down.
• Run TCP input in parallel on multiple CPUs. Mark the protocol input function tcp_input() as MP-safe.
