As of r361857 all BINUTILS options are disabled by default - ports
have been changed to depend on binutils if they require GNU as, and
all base system assembly files have been switched to use Clang's
integrated assembler.

Previously we descended into as only if MK_BINUTILS was true, including
during the bootstrap tool phase. BINUTILS is now disabled by default on
all archs, and we failed to build it during amd64 bootstrap.
Descend into as if either BINUTILS or BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP is enabled.
This is not quite correct: we should either have the test also depend on
BOOTSTRAPPING, or set BINUTILS to the value of BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP during
the bootstrap phase. However, this simple change fixes the build and
has been tested, and binutils will be removed completely in the near
future.
The in-tree binutils is old and will not be updated. It does not support
all archs supported by FreeBSD, and for the archs it does support not all
CPU features are supported.
Other tools have migrated to copyfree alternatives. Although llvm-objdump
is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objdump it is missing a few options
and has some differences in output format. For now just remove GNU objdump;
ports and developers can use a contemporary, maintained version from ports
or packages. We can revisit installing llvm-objdump as objdump in the
future.

This change allows any downstream or otherwise consumer to easily override
the new -fno-common default on a temporary basis without having to hack into
src.sys.mk, and also makes it a bit easier to search for these specific
cases where -fno-common must be overridden with -fcommon or else the build
will fail.
The gdb build, the only program requiring -fcommon on head/, is switched
over as an example usage. It will need it on all branches, so this does not
harm future mergability.

In-tree gdb is essentially obsolete. We kept it for sparc64 (because
gdb in ports lacked sparc64 support) and as a fallback for crashinfo.
gdb was installed to /libexec on all archs other than sparc64, where the
WITHOUT_GDB_LIBEXEC option was default, with gdb installed to /usr/bin.
With sparc64's retirement WITH_GDB_LIBEXEC became the default for all
architectures, but it was still possible to set it off and install gdb
into /usr/bin.
As the next step in gdb's retirement, remove the option and install gdb
only into /libexec as the crashinfo fallback. We expect users to install
the gdb port or package for debugging. The in-tree gdb lacks support for
a number of supported architectures and does not support contemporary
DWARF debug info.

As described in the comment, gdb relies on some of the linker magic that
happens with -fcommon. I suspect the life expectancy of gdb-in-base is low
enough that this isn't worth spending much time addressing, especially given
the vintage. Hit it with the -fcommon hammer so that it continues to just
work.

Now that we no longer have GCC 4.2.1 in the tree and can assume FreeBSD
is being built with a C++11 compiler available, we can use BSDL dtc
unconditionally and retire the GPL dtc.
GPL dtc now has FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI to help ensure it
continues to build/work on FreeBSD and is available in the ports tree
if needed.
The copy of (copyfree licensed) libfdt that we actually use is in
sys/contrib/libfdt so the extra copy under contrib/dtc/libfdt can be
removed along with the rest of the GPL dtc.

As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing
list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external
toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports).
GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later
that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is
obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It
does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V.
Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing
GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

This uses the new layout of the upstream repository, which was recently
migrated to GitHub, and converted into a "monorepo". That is, most of
the earlier separate sub-projects with their own branches and tags were
consolidated into one top-level directory, and are now branched and
tagged together.
Updating the vendor area to match this layout is next.
In the future FreeBSD will ship without GNU binutils 2.17.50. Add a
note advising users who require GNU as to install the binutils port
or package.
Note that on armv7, arm64, amd64, i386 we currently ship only two
binutils tools (as and objdump). A deprecation notice was added to
objdump's man page some time ago.

Summary:
Toolchain follow-up to r349350. LLVM patches will be submitted upstream for
9.0 as well.
The bsd.cpu.mk change is required because GNU ld assumes BSS-PLT if it

not compile in such a way to make it know to use Secure-PLT.

- Change STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR and the C++ include directories to just

The change makes the user and kernel address spaces on i386
independent, giving each almost the full 4G of usable virtual addresses
except for one PDE at top used for trampoline and per-CPU trampoline
stacks, and system structures that must be always mapped, namely IDT,
GDT, common TSS and LDT, and process-private TSS and LDT if allocated.
By using 1:1 mapping for the kernel text and data, it appeared
possible to eliminate assembler part of the locore.S which bootstraps
initial page table and KPTmap. The code is rewritten in C and moved
into the pmap_cold(). The comment in vmparam.h explains the KVA
layout.
There is no PCID mechanism available in protected mode, so each
kernel/user switch forth and back completely flushes the TLB, except
for the trampoline PTD region. The TLB invalidations for userspace
becomes trivial, because IPI handlers switch page tables. On the other
hand, context switches no longer need to reload %cr3.
copyout(9) was rewritten to use vm_fault_quick_hold(). An issue for
new copyout(9) is compatibility with wiring user buffers around sysctl
handlers. This explains two kind of locks for copyout ptes and
accounting of the vslock() calls. The vm_fault_quick_hold() AKA slow
path, is only tried after the 'fast path' failed, which temporary
changes mapping to the userspace and copies the data to/from small
per-cpu buffer in the trampoline. If a page fault occurs during the
copy, it is short-circuit by exception.s to not even reach C code.
The change was motivated by the need to implement the Meltdown
mitigation, but instead of KPTI the full split is done. The i386
architecture already shows the sizing problems, in particular, it is
impossible to link clang and lld with debugging. I expect that the
issues due to the virtual address space limits would only exaggerate
and the split gives more liveness to the platform.
