gethostname()'s old and new signatures without requiring a library
bump. Note that programs which called gethostname() with a negative
argument were already broken, since the same type conversion was done
by the old implementation. Add a note in the Makefile so that whoever
next bumps the libc revision will delete the kluge at the same time
(as it will no longer be necessary). This is only operative on 64-bit
platforms.

when the buffer is not long enough to hold the current host name.
POSIX does not standardize error returns for gethostname(), so it
doesn't matter which one we use, but ENAMETOOLONG is at least a little
more intuitive, and mi suggests the existence of prior art. I've been
running with this change for a while on my home machine with no
effect. At the same time, I've updated the prototype for
gethostname() to use the correct standard type (size_t) for the
namelen argument.
All of the in-tree callers fall into one of the following categories:
1) Call perror() or equivalent when gethostname() fails.
2) Ignore gethostname()'s return value entirely, potentially resulting
in data corruption if the buffer is too small.
3) Fall back to a (possibly sensible) default value if gethostname()
fails.
Many of the callers I examined shows signs of confusion about the
correct sizing of the host name buffer. gethostname(3) now has more
information about this, as well as updated standards information.

binaries in /bin and /sbin installed in /lib. Only the versioned files
reside in /lib, the .so symlink continues to live /usr/lib so the
toolchain doesn't need to be modified.
- All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are*
necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for
mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from
linking to this API (suggested by mux)
- Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as
the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c.
- Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
to express their intention explicitly.
- Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
- The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.
- Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly
(tested with WITNESS, MUTEX_PROFILING, INVARIANTS and DIAGNOSTIC).

o Properly mask the passed or returned fp_except_t. Not doing so
causes instant core dumps by trying to write an invalid value to
ar.fpsr. Now that we're masking, stop using exclusive-or to invert
bits.
This fixes the illegal instruction fault encountered when building
mozilla.
o fix the len argument of memcmp(3) to be the size of the node field
of the uuid structure, not the size of the uuid structure itself.
We're comparing the node fields...
o uuid_compare(3) is specified to return -1, 0 or 1, depending on
the outcome of the comparison. memcmp(3) returns the difference
between the first differing bytes. Hence, we cannot ever return
the return value of memcmp(3) as-is.

wctob() in terms of wcrtomb() instead of sputrune(). There should be
no functional differences, but there may be a small performance hit
because we make an extra function call.
The aim here is to have as few functions as possible calling
s{get,put}rune() to make it easier to remove them in the future.
Also change "Auto mode" to use a "special" value
instead of 0, and define and document it.
I had thought libpthread had already been switched to use auto mode but
it appears that patch hasn't been committed yet.

that we can flush the register stack prior to entering the kernel.
This avoids having dirty registers and saves us from having to
manually write them to the backing store from within the kernel.
In that respect, flushing the RSE is both functionally required as
well as performance optimal.
On average we had 18 dirty registers when getcontext(2) was called
from libthr. Since libthr does not switch back to a context created
by getcontext(2), not having dealt with the dirty registers was
harmless.
on the corresponding .proc directive, or the .endp must not have a
name at all.
While here, remove an artificial dependency in Ovfork.S by performing
manual register renaming.

* Make the wording of index(3) and strchr(3) more similar.

change breaks threaded applications linked against libc_r. Pull the
tier 2 card again: relink. This will link against libthr instead.
