This option tells freebsd-update to act as if it is running a specific
release instead of querying the kernel. In particular, this can be
useful when upgrading jails.

Due to an off by one the code would read an entry past the table, as

locales.
When using a Chinese locale, such as zh_TW.UTF-8 or zh_CN.UTF-8,
nl_langinfo(ABMON_*) only returned numbers. For instance,
nl_langinfo(ABMON_1) returns 1, nl_langinfo(ABMON_2) returns 2, and
so on.
This causes problems in applications that put the short month name
and the day of the month together. For example, 'Apr 14' in English
becomes '414日' in Chinese on the top bar of GNOME Shell.
This problem may be resolved by appending '月' to all short month
names and replacing %b with %_m in date_fmt. ja_JP.UTF-8 already
does this, and this matches the en_US.ISO8859-1 behavior, which
returns 'Oct'. The GNU C Library also returns values with '月'
appended.

- Move the required kernel compiler flags from Makefile.arm64 to kern.mk.
- Build arm64 modules as PIC; non-PIC relocations in .o for shared object
output cannot be handled.
- Do not try to install aarch64 symlink.
- A hack for arm64 to avoid ld -r stage. See the comment for the explanation.
Some functionality is lost, like ctf handling, but hopefully will be
restored after newer linker is available.

It is decided to go with the shared object file format for modules on
arm64, due to the Aarch64 instruction set details. Combination of the
signed 28-bit offset in the branch instructions encoding together with
the supported memory model of compilers makes the relocatable object
support impossible or at least too hard.

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.
List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
- Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
- Support multiple consoles

bytes of boot2. Since we're in 16-bit mode, we can't copy all 128kB at
once; instead we loop four times and copy 32 kB each time.
This change was made necessary by an upcoming increase in the size of the
boot2 binary; should it increase further, the COPY_BLKS value can be
adjusted without anyone needing to remember 8086 assembly language again.

struct thread and kernel stack for the thread. Otherwise, a load
similar to a fork bomb would exhaust KVA and possibly kmem, mostly due
to the struct proc being type-stable.
The nprocs counter is changed from being protected by allproc_lock sx
to be an atomic variable. Note that ddb/db_ps.c:db_ps() use of nprocs
was unsafe before, and is still unsafe, but it seems that the only
possible undesired consequence is the harmless warning printed when
allproc linked list length does not match nprocs.

CloudABI has approximately 50 system calls that do not depend on the
pointer size of the system. As the ABI is pretty compact, it takes
little effort to each truss(8) the formatting rules for these system
calls. Start off by formatting pointer size independent system calls.
Changes:
- Make it possible to include the CloudABI system call definitions in
FreeBSD userspace builds. Add ${root}/sys to the truss(8) Makefile so
we can pull in <compat/cloudabi/cloudabi_syscalldefs.h>.
- Refactoring: patch up amd64-cloudabi64.c to use the CLOUDABI_*
constants instead of rolling our own table.
- Add table entries for all of the system calls.
- Add new generic formatting types (UInt, IntArray) that we'll be using
to format unsigned integers and arrays of integers.
- Add CloudABI specific formatting types.

r161611 added some of the code from sys_vfork() directly into the Linux
module wrappers since they use RFSTOPPED. In r232240, the RFFPWAIT handling
was moved to syscallret(), thus this code in the Linux module is no longer
needed as it will be called later.
This also allows the Linux wrappers to benefit from the fix in r275616 for
threads not getting suspended if their vforked child is stopped while they
wait on them.
