New Revision: 273489
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/273489

Log:
  Populate the GELI passphrase cache with the kern.geom.eli.passphrase
  variable (if any) provided in the boot environment.  Unset it from
  the kernel environment after doing this, so that the passphrase is
  no longer present in kernel memory once we enter userland.
  
  This will make it possible to provide a GELI passphrase via the boot
  loader; FreeBSD's loader does not yet do this, but GRUB (and PCBSD)
  will have support for this soon.
