- Use word-sized test for unaligned pointer before working
the hard way.
Memory page boundary is always integral multiple of a word
alignment boundary. Therefore, if we can access memory
referenced by pointer p, then (p & ~word mask) must be also
accessible.
- Better utilization of multi-issue processor's ability of
concurrency.
The previous implementation utilized a formular that must be
executed sequentially. However, the ~, & and - operations can
actually be caculated at the same time when the operand were
different and unrelated.
The original Hacker's Delight formular also offered consistent
performance regardless whether the input would contain
characters with their highest-bit set, as it catches real
nul characters only.
These two optimizations has shown further improvements over the
previous implementation on microbenchmarks on i386 and amd64 CPU
including Pentium 4, Core Duo 2 and i7.

- Explicitly initialize _fl_mutex to PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER for all FILE
objects. This is currently a nop on FreeBSD, but is import for other
platforms (or in the future) where PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER is not simply
zero.

operands but not for double and extended double ones. Instead of trying
to fix the macro just nuke it and unroll the loops in the correct way
though as extended double operands turn out to be the only special case.
- For FxTO{s,d,q} the source operand is int64 so rs2 has to be re-decoded
after setting type accordingly as it's generally decoded using the low
2 bits as the type, which are 0 for these three instructions.
- Similarly, in case of F{s,d,q}TOx the target is int64 so rd has to be
re-decoded using not only the operand mask appropriate for int64 but
also the correct register number encoding.
- Use const where appropriate.
- Wrap long lines.

objects used to provide per-thread storage in the RPC code. Almost all
of these used double-checking with a dedicated mutex (tsd_lock) to do this
before. However, that is not always safe with more relaxed memory orders.
There were also other bugs, such as one in __rpc_createrr() that caused a
new key to be allocated each time __rpc_createrr() was invoked.

These header files only provide functionality that can be used in
combination with libcompat. In order to prevent people from including
them without any actual use (which happens a lot with <sys/timeb.h>),
put a warning here to make people more aware.
This means we have to lower WARNS for libcompat, which is no big deal.
Rejigger the SUBDIR setting a smidge: we now set all the libraries that depend
on something else, and then SUBDIR+= the rest.
A separate commit will fix the SUBDIR style to be the same as the rest
of the tree.
This Makefile change can be removed when the next version of sendmail
is imported as it will have this built in to the FreeBSD conf.h section.

security patches to the 9.6.1 version, as well as many other bug fixes.
This version also incorporates a different fix for the problem we had
patched in contrib/bind9/bin/dig/dighost.c, so that file is now back
to being the same as the vendor version.
Due to the fact that the DNSSEC algorithm that will be used to sign the
root zone is only included in this version and in 9.7.x those who wish
to do validation MUST upgrade to one of these prior to July 2010.
(DPCPU):
A new API, kvm_dpcpu_setcpu(3), selects the active CPU for the purposes
of DPCPU. Calls to kvm_nlist(3) will automatically translate DPCPU
symbols and return a pointer to the current CPU's version of the data.
Consumers needing to read the same symbol on several CPUs will invoke a
series of setcpu/nlist calls, one per CPU of interest.
This addition makes it possible for tools like netstat(1) to query the
values of DPCPU variables during crashdump analysis, and is based on
similar code handling virtualized global variables.

The `name' and `newp' arguments can be marked const, because the buffers
they refer to are never changed. While there, perform some other
cleanups:
- Remove K&R from sysctl.c.
- Implement sysctlbyname() using sysctlnametomib() to prevent
duplication of an undocumented kernel interface.
- Fix some whitespace nits.
It seems the prototypes are now in sync with NetBSD as well.

TLS model. The consequence was data corruption. Limit the attribute to
i386 and amd64.
