When cache precedes files, and nscd is configured to allow negative caching,
commands like "pw groupadd" can fail. The sequence of events looks like:
1. A command like pkg(8) looks up the group, and finds it absent.
2. pkg invokes pw(8) to add the group
3. pkg queries the group, but nscd says it doesn't exist, since it has a
negative cache entry for that group.

For historical reasons, defining MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf has
been used to turn off potentially expensive debug checks and statistics
gathering in the implementation of malloc(3).
It seems more consistent to turn this into a regular src.conf(5) option,
e.g. WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION / WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION. This can then
be toggled similar to any other source build option, and turned on or
off by default for e.g. stable branches.

dumpon has accepted device names without the prefix ever since r291207.
Since dumpon and savecore are always paired, they ought to accept the same
arguments. Prior to this change, specifying 'dumpdev="da3"' in
/etc/rc.conf, for example, would result in dumpon working just fine but
savecore complaining that "Dump device does not exist".

There are cases when gif_interfaces cannot be replaced
with cloned_interfaces, such as tunnels with external IPv6 addresses
and internal IPv4 or vice versa. Such configuration requires
extra invocation of ifconfig(8) and supported with gif_interfaces only.
Fix manual page and provide some examples.

pf by default does not do per-table address accounting unless the
"counters" keyword is specified in the corresponding pf.conf table
definition. Yet, we always allocate 12 per-CPU counters per table. For
large tables this carries a lot of overhead, so only allocate counters
when they will actually be used.
A further enhancement might be to use a dedicated UMA zone to allocate
counter arrays for table entries, since close to half of the structure
size comes from counter pointers. A related issue is the cost of
zeroing counters, since counter_u64_zero() calls smp_rendezvous() on
some architectures.

PR: 245404

Save and restore (also known as suspend and resume) permits a snapshot
to be taken of a guest's state that can later be resumed. In the
current implementation, bhyve(8) creates a UNIX domain socket that is
used by bhyvectl(8) to send a request to save a snapshot (and
optionally exit after the snapshot has been taken). A snapshot
currently consists of two files: the first holds a copy of guest RAM,
and the second file holds other guest state such as vCPU register
values and device model state.
To resume a guest, bhyve(8) must be started with a matching pair of
command line arguments to instantiate the same set of device models as
well as a pointer to the saved snapshot.
While the current implementation is useful for several uses cases, it
has a few limitations. The file format for saving the guest state is
tied to the ABI of internal bhyve structures and is not
self-describing (in that it does not communicate the set of device
models present in the system). In addition, the state saved for some
device models closely matches the internal data structures which might
prove a challenge for compatibility of snapshot files across a range
of bhyve versions. The file format also does not currently support
versioning of individual chunks of state. As a result, the current
file format is not a fixed binary format and future revisions to save
and restore will break binary compatiblity of snapshot files. The
goal is to move to a more flexible format that adds versioning,
etc. and at that point to commit to providing a reasonable level of
compatibility. As a result, the current implementation is not enabled
by default. It can be enabled via the WITH_BHYVE_SNAPSHOT=yes option
for userland builds, and the kernel option BHYVE_SHAPSHOT.

This option was added as a transition aide when symbol versioning was
first added. It was enabled by default in 2007 and is supported even
by the old GPLv2 binutils. Trying to disable it currently fails to
build in libc and at this point it isn't worth fixing the build.
