176e2e53 - MFC r339465: rc.initdiskless: add support for auxiliary NVRAM.

MFC r339465: rc.initdiskless: add support for auxiliary NVRAM. Currently, rc.inidiskless assumes that local system configuration changes are kept in some mountable file system. For example, nanobsd uses dedicated partition mounted as /cfg for this. However, small embedded devices like MIPS routers may have no enough flash space to keep full-blown file system but have only one or couple small flash blocks to keep persistent local configuration overrides. This change extends rc.initdiskless and introduces ability to run auxiliary command /conf/T/M/extract that is supposed to extract configuration overrides from such local storage. For example, the command /conf/default/etc/extract may contain something like: cd "$1" && bsdcpio --quiet -idu < /dev/map/cfg bsdcpio command extracts compressed archive from the storage to /etc assuming the storage is exposed by the kernel as /dev/map/cfg to userland.PR: 204215 List of files: /freebsd-12.1/libexec/rc/rc.initdiskless

0696600c - Move the rc framework out of sbin/init into libexec/rc.

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 16:49:11 +0000

Move the rc framework out of sbin/init into libexec/rc.The reasons for this are forward looking to pkgbase: * /sbin/init is a special binary; try not to replace it with every package update because an rc script was touched. (a follow-up commit will make init its own package) * having rc in its own place will allow more easy replacement of the rc framework with alternatives, such as openrc.Discussed with: brd (during BSDCam), kmooreRequested by: cem, bzPR: 231522Approved by: re (gjb) List of files: /freebsd-12.1/libexec/rc/rc.initdiskless
