karels added a comment to D45089: aarch64: disable LIB32 with gcc.

I have no objection to this, but don't know the vagaries of the different compilers.

I think this is everything from RELNOTES and "Relnotes: yes" since 14.0, but I'll also cherry-pick from UPDATING. I'll also solicit input/review from developers@ when I have done what I can.

This version works (adds the user correctly and defaults to not adding another user). Tested only on UFS; will test on ZFS in an hour or so.

This change is essentially cosmetic, right (reduces confusion)? If so, then adding "No functional change intended" to the message might be appropriate.

karels added a comment to D44453: coredirector - Intel TD/HFI driver - Part1: Add ITD/HFI related MSR/CPUID defines to specialregs.h.

Is this project derived from Intel's code (see https://github.com/intel/intel_hfi)? It was originally GPL, but is now dual-licensed.

I understand that this github code has no origin.
I based this driver on FreeBSD's coretemp driver.

Since this is a serious topic related to licensing, I will explain it in a little more detail.
This github is the source code of the driver for Linux kernel, and I learned it.
However, the PowerManagement-related mechanisms are different between the Linux kernel and FreeBSD. In the Linux kernel, this is added to the existing thermal throtlling code, but FreeBSD does not have this mechanism.
Therefore, it is not possible to create the coredirector driver using the source code from this github.
As proof of this, for example, I needed to add the Local APIC's thermal interupt handler as a patch in Part 2.
Also, the table reference processing of Intel HFI/TD is simple, just referencing the table when an thermal interrupt occurs. I believe that if it were created based on the Intel SDM article, the process flow would be similar.

I'm sorry.
I tried uploading a full-context patch file from "Update Diff" in the upper right menu, but when I download it afterwards, only the modified parts are shown.
Since I don't know how to use this site, I will attach the full context file here.
If I'm wrong, please let me know how to upload it.

I was just trying to guess the reasoning for the removal of this command-line option, by stating one possible inference, since I anticipate that the use of -c is infrequent and it's always possible for the administrator to change the configuration file (well, I also can see situations where these are not equivalent...). Personally, I don't have a need to remove it, and at the same time I'll likely never use it, in that sense I'm neutral.
