The separate script is needed because in the presence of various interface lists in rc.conf ($network_interfaces, $cloned_interfaces, $sppp_interfaces, $gif_interfaces, more to come) it is hard to start them orderly, so that pfsync is brought up after its syncdev, which is required for the proper startup of pfsync.

* Fix system shutdown timeout handling by again supporting longer runningrse2005-09-151-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds). We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in /etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults to 120 seconds. Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999 (as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via /etc/rc.conf), etc. As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8). Also document it in the manpages init(8) and rc.conf(5). Reviewed by: phk MFC after: 2 weeks

* Various and sundry improvements:jhb2005-09-131-49/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Replace 'process' with 'thread' everywhere. - Update several places to note that that the fact that default mutexes may adaptively spin isn't necessarily MD, but is just part of the implementation as a whole. - Clarify the text about MTX_SPIN mutexes only being appropriate for INTR_FAST interrupts or other low level scheduler code to make the jargon more FreeBSD-ish rather than BSD/OS-ish. - Also, note that it is possible that interrupts aren't blocked but just deferred when a spin lock is held (the whole blocked vs. deferred bit is an MD implementation detail). - Remove statements saying that spin locks must be released in the exact opposite order that they were acquired. This stopped being true several years ago when we first added critical sections that stored their state in the current thread rather than in struct mtx. - Note that a mutex must be initialized before it is passed to any other mutex function, not just mtx_lock. - Clarify that mtx_trylock() only operates on MTX_DEF mutexes. - Simplify the text about possible preemption during a mtx_unlock(). - Use complete English sentences in place of phrases in a few places. - Clarify that it isn't ever safe to sleep with a mutex held. The kernel tends to panic when you do that. Requested by: scottl (7) MFC after: 3 days

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of the form "REFUSE foo" in portsnap.conf will result in parts of the tree matching "^foo" being (a) not extracted by "portsnap extract", (b) not updated by "portsnap update", and (c) not having any patches or new ports downloaded by "portsnap fetch" or "portsnap cron". The example shown in portsnap.conf demonstrates ignoring all the language categories. As mentioned in portsnap.conf.5, the use of an imcomplete ports tree is not officially supported; but this is something which many users have requested, so I'm adding it anyway.
