As I looked through the C library, I noticed the FreeBSD MIPS port has a
hand-written version of index(). This is nice, if it weren't for the
fact that most applications call strchr() instead.
Also, on the other architectures index() and strchr() are identical,
meaning we have two identical pieces of code in the C library and
statically linked applications.
Solve this by naming the actual file strchr.[cS] and let it use
__strong_reference()/STRONG_ALIAS() to provide the index() routine. Do
the same for rindex()/strrchr().
This seems to make the C libraries and static binaries slightly smaller,
but this reduction in size seems negligible.
tmpfs_nocacheread(). It is both unnecessary and a pessimization. It
results in either the page being zeroed twice or zeroed first and then
overwritten by an I/O operation.

cam_periph_runccb() since the beginning checks it and releases device queue.
After r203108 it even clears CAM_DEV_QFRZN flag after that to avoid double
release, so removed code is unreachable now.

It seems strchr() and strrchr() are used more often than index() and
rindex(). Therefore, simply migrate all kernel code to use it.
For the XFS code, remove an empty line to make the code identical to
the code in the Linux kernel.
I was considering adding it to libc as well, but last minute I thought
it would be good enough to add it to libkern exclusively. I forgot to
rename the man page and hook it up.
It was only used by ufs and ext2 and I have really strong doubts that
there are other pieces of code that also use this function. If it turns
out that external drivers use this code as well, I'd be happy to migrate
or revert.
Bump __FreeBSD_version while there.
While there, remove a useless check from the code. memcchr() always
returns characters unequal to 0xff in this case, so inosused[i] ^ 0xff
can never be equal to zero. Also, the fact that memcchr() returns a
pointer instead of the number of bytes until the end, makes conversion
to an offset far more easy.
It seems two of the file system drivers we have in the tree, namely ufs
and ext3, use a function called `skpc()'. The meaning of this function
does not seem to be documented in FreeBSD, but it turns out one needs to
be a VAX programmer to understand what it does.
SPKC is an instruction on the VAX that does the opposite of memchr(). It
searches for the non-equal character. Add a new function called
memcchr() to the tree that has the following advantages over skpc():
- It has a name that makes more sense than skpc(). Just like strcspn()
matches the complement of strspn(), memcchr() is the complement of
memchr().
- It is faster than skpc(). Similar to our strlen() in libc, it compares
entire words, instead of single bytes. It seems that for this routine
this yields a sixfold performance increase on amd64.
- It has a man page.
problem by adding -fno-strict-aliasing to CFLAGS. Since this is a global
issue that just happened to manifest on PowerPC, add this to CFLAGS
unconditionally.

This shows that the majority of the weird traffic I see here are probe
frames that haven't been sent out, but I can also trigger this condition
by doing ICMP w/ -i 0.3 - enough to trigger the TX during actual scanning,
but not fast enough to stop scanning from occuring.

This version of libcompiler_rt adds support for __mulo[sdt]i4(), which
computes a multiply and its overflow flag. There are also a lot of
cleanup fixes to headers that don't really affect us.

are booting inside a VM. There are three reasons to disable this:
o It causes the VM host to believe that all the tested pages or RAM are
in use. This in turn may force the host to page out pages of RAM
belonging to other VMs, or otherwise cause problems with fair resource
sharing on the VM cluster.
o It adds significant time to the boot process (around 1 second/Gig in
testing)
o It is unnecessary - the host should have already verified that the
memory is functional etc.
Note that this simply changes the default when in a VM - it can still be
overridden using the hw.memtest.tests tunable.

writing label into a file image. The most common use - putting disklabel
into ISO file. Before this change the label would always go to
the offset 512, while geom_part code expects it to be in the 1st
sector (i.e. 2048 incase of ISO). BSD disklabels provide good and
lightweight way to logically split livecds. It is non-intrusive as
far as ISO9660 goes (both boot-wise and metadata-wise) and
completely transparent to anything but BSD, so you can have
BSD-specific area appended after regular ISO.
And with a little bit of GEOM trickery you can do even more
interesting stuff with it.
For example we make "hybrid" bootable CDs using this method.
We create bootable ISO with kernel and such and append UFS
image compressed with UZIP and it works like a charm. We put
label based on the offsef of the BSD part into the ISO. The kernel
boots off normal ISO9660 part, tastes label attaches it,
tastes UZIP, attaches it and finally mounts UFS using GEOM_LABEL.
This provides much better way of eliminating waste than doing
"crunched" build.
