drm - Update to Linux 4.20.17
Sergey Zigachev: core:

sys/vfs/hammer2: Add SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA support
Tomohiro Kusumi: Similar to ext2 and ufs using VOP_BMAP based vn_bmap_seekhole(). - Add xop_bmap which corresponds to .vop_bmap.- Add BUF_CMD_SEEK to prevent xop_bmap from being used for other purposes e.g.

fdisk(8): Support 4096 sector size and recognize pMBR of 4Kn disks
Aaron LI: Tweak the fdisk(8) utility to support 4096-byte sector size, so it now can read the pMBR on GPT-formatted 4Kn (aka 4K native) disks, e.g.,

fdisk(8): Add "vbd0" to search list and order "da0" before "ad0"
Aaron LI: The virtio_blk(4) device is now very common, so worth adding it to the search list.

Activity Earlier In The Year

tcplay - add --batch-mode or -q option
Michael Neumann: This allows automated testing to be truely automated.

dm_target_crypt_ng - Implement Twofish/Serpent CBC/XTS ciphers
Michael Neumann: This adds quite a lot of duplication concerning the XTS mode which has to be refactored with a follow up commit.

contrib: Remove empty diffutils
Aaron LI: contrib/diffutils was replaced with a BSD version in commit c9733229451fac5faa53b1a016b01866eae75a1c.

dm_target_crypt_ng - Remove worker pool
Michael Neumann: No longer use a worker pool to distribute read/write BIOs to worker threads.

mmap - Add MAP_32BIT (2)
Matthew Dillon

sbin/hammer2: Add "freemap" to HAMMER2_CHECK_STRINGS
Tomohiro Kusumi: so that hammer2 freemap directive can properly print "freemap" instead of "unknown(5)" for meth=...

dm_target_crypt_ng - Add next-generation implementation
Michael Neumann: - No longer use opencrypto or cryptodev.

Remove hifn(4), safe(4), ubsec(4) and padlock(4) drivers
Michael Neumann: These were removed in OpenBSD 7.1 and it's unlikely that they are still in use by someone today. Padlock can be used (on VIA CPUs) without having a kernel driver for it as it is a CPU instruction.

libz: Remove the 'ZLIBprivate_1.0' version together with its symbols
Aaron LI: These three symbols are private and are not even needed to be exported by the private 'ZLIBprivate_1.0' version tag.

Merge branch 'vendor/ZLIB'

DragonFlyBSD Release Tags

nrelease: Check GITREV and just fail if empty
Aaron LI: The GITREV variable is determined by the tools/gitrev.sh script, which might fail if the current user has insufficient permission to access the source directory.

nrelease: Allow /etc/ssl/cert.pem be missing
Aaron LI: The 'pkg-bootstrap' target in '/usr/Makefile' has been updated to work without '/etc/ssl/cert.pem', so ignore copy failure of this file.

nrelease: Remove downloaded packages from ISO/IMG
Aaron LI

Bump DEVELOPMENT to 6.5
Antonio Huete Jimenez

Merge branch 'vendor/TCPDUMP'
Antonio Huete Jimenez

Merge branch 'vendor/LIBPCAP'
Antonio Huete Jimenez

Merge branch 'vendor/DIALOG'
Antonio Huete Jimenez

nrelease - Copy `/etc/ssl/cert.pem` into ISOROOT
Michael Neumann: Otherwise it fails when using target `binpkg`:

Sync zoneinfo database with tzdata2022a from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases
Sascha Wildner: - Palestine will spring forward on 2022-03-27, not 2022-03-26. For a detailed list of changes, see share/zoneinfo/NEWS.
