When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.

When limiting I/O, a value of 0 makes no sense as a limit. No progress
can be made. Trade the possibility that someone might be doing
something clever to achieve ultra-low I/O limits vs the damage of not
ever making progress on an I/O in favor of making progress. Now the
machine won't be useless if this accidentally gets requested.

In r322258 I made p1003_1b.aio_listio_max a tunable. However, further
investigation shows that there was never any good reason for that limit to
exist in the first place. It's used in two completely different ways:
* To size a UMA zone, which globally limits the number of concurrent
aio_suspend calls.
* To artifically limit the number of operations in a single lio_listio call.
There doesn't seem to be any memory allocation associated with this limit.
This change does two things:
* Properly names aio_suspend's UMA zone, and sizes it based on a new constant.
* Eliminates the artifical restriction on lio_listio. Instead, lio_listio
calls will now be limited by the more generous max_aio_queue_per_proc. The
old p1003_1b.aio_listio_max is now an alias for
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc, so sysconf(3) will still work with
_SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX.

Don't check for SPA_MINDEVSIZE in vdev_geom_attach when opening by path.
It's redundant with the check in vdev_open, and failing to attach here
results in the wrong error message being printed. However, still check for
it in some other situations:
* When opening by guids, so we don't get bogged down reading from slow
devices like floppy drives.
* In vdev_geom_read_pool_label for the same reason, because we iterate over
all providers.
* If the caller requests that we verify the guid, because then we'll have to
read from the device before vdev_open verifies the size.

linked with AddressSanitizer (even those linked on earlier versions of
FreeBSD, or with external versions of clang) started failing with errors
similar to:
==14688==AddressSanitizer CHECK failed:
/usr/src/contrib/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_poisoning.cc:36
"((AddrIsAlignedByGranularity(addr))) != (0)" (0x0, 0x0)
This is because AddressSanitizer expects all the TLS data in the program
to be aligned to at least 8 bytes.
Before the jemalloc 5.0.0 update, all the TLS data in the i386 version
of libc.so added up to 80 bytes (a multiple of 8), but 5.0.0 made this
grow to 2404 bytes (not a multiple of 8). This is due to added caching
data in jemalloc's internal struct tsd_s.
To fix AddressSanitizer, ensure this struct is aligned to at least 16
bytes, which can be done unconditionally for all architectures. (An
earlier version of the fix aligned the struct to 8 bytes, but only for
ILP32 architectures. This was deemed unnecessarily complicated.)

Clearing the unr in tmpfs_unmount is not correct. In the case of
multiple references to the tmpfs mount (e.g. when there are lookup
threads using it) it will not be the one to finish tmpfs_free_tmp. In
those cases tmpfs_free_node_locked will be the final one to execute
tmpfs_free_tmp, and until then the unr must be valid.

Referring to _DefaultRuneLocale causes this >4KB structure to be copied to
all executables that use <ctype.h> inlines (except PIE executables).
This only affects the case where thread local storage is available.
_CurrentRuneLocale cannot be NULL, so the check can be removed entirely.
_DefaultRuneLocale needs to remain available for now since libc++ uses it.
The __isctype inline in include/_ctype.h also refers to _DefaultRuneLocale
and remains available because it may still be used by third party software.
