I've had a report of a sparc64 system where cc1 generates illegal
instructions. We still have to diagnose this properly, but instead of
hosing all sparc64 boxes out there, fall back to libgcc to prevent more
damage.

The information in sh(1) about the echo builtin is equivalent, though less
extensive.
The echo(1) man page (bin/echo/echo.1) is different.
Unfortunately, sh's echo builtin and /bin/echo have gone out of sync and
this probably cannot be fixed any more.

the "sockarg" ipfw option matches packets associated to
a local socket and with a non-zero so_user_cookie value.
The value is made available as tablearg, so it can be used
as a skipto target or pipe number in ipfw/dummynet rules.

you tag a socket with an uint32_t value. The cookie can then be
used by the kernel for various purposes, e.g. setting the skipto
rule or pipe number in ipfw (this is the reason SO_USER_COOKIE has
been implemented; however there is nothing ipfw-specific in its
implementation).
The ipfw-related code that uses the optopn will be committed separately.
This change adds a field to 'struct socket', but the struct is not
part of any driver or userland-visible ABI so the change should be
harmless.

Control Algorithms for FreeBSD" FreeBSD Foundation funded project. More details
about the project are available at: http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/5cc/
- Add a KPI and supporting infrastructure to allow modular congestion control
algorithms to be used in the net stack. Algorithms can maintain per-connection
state if required, and connections maintain their own algorithm pointer, which
allows different connections to concurrently use different algorithms. The
TCP_CONGESTION socket option can be used with getsockopt()/setsockopt() to
programmatically query or change the congestion control algorithm respectively
from within an application at runtime.
- Integrate the framework with the TCP stack in as least intrusive a manner as
possible. Care was also taken to develop the framework in a way that should
allow integration with other congestion aware transport protocols (e.g. SCTP)
in the future. The hope is that we will one day be able to share a single set
of congestion control algorithm modules between all congestion aware transport
protocols.
- Introduce a new congestion recovery (TF_CONGRECOVERY) state into the TCP stack
and use it to decouple the meaning of recovery from a congestion event and
recovery from packet loss (TF_FASTRECOVERY) a la RFC2581. ECN and delay based
congestion control protocols don't generally need to recover from packet loss
and need a different way to note a congestion recovery episode within the
stack.
- Remove the net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl, which simplifies some portions of code
and ensures the stack always uses the appropriate mechanisms for recovering
from packet loss during a congestion recovery episode.
- Extract the NewReno congestion control algorithm from the TCP stack and
massage it into module form. NewReno is always built into the kernel and will
remain the default algorithm for the forseeable future. Implementations of
additional different algorithms will become available in the near future.
- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025 and note in UPDATING that rebuilding code
that relies on the size of "struct tcpcb" is required.

mappings need to end up in the kernel anyway since the kernel begins
executing in OF context. Separating them adds needless complexity,
especially since the powerpc64 and mmu_oea64 code gave up on it a long
time ago.
As a side effect, the PPC ofw_machdep code is no longer AIM-specific,
so move it to powerpc/ofw.
hypervisor infrastructure support:
- Fix coexistence of multiple platform modules in the same kernel
- Allow platform modules to provide an SMP topology
- PowerPC hypervisors limit the amount of memory accessible in real mode.
Allow the platform modules to specify the maximum real-mode address,
and modify the bits of the kernel that need to allocate
real-mode-accessible buffers to respect this limits.

The external gpio pins are connected to a PLD on the i2c bus, unfortunatley
this device does not conform by failing to send an ack after each byte written.
The iicbb driver will abort the transfer when the address is not ack'd and it
would introduce a lot of churn to be able to pass a flag down to
iicbb_start/iicbb_write. Instead we do bad things by grabbing the iicbus but
then doing our own bit banging.

always be emitted in kernel modules, if they use vnet.h or pcpu.h.
Also, for pcpu.h, make the __(start|stop)_set_pcpu declarations, and
associated macros invisible to userland, to prevent it picking up these

After KVA space was increased to 512GB on amd64 it became impractical
to use PTEs as entries in the minidump map of dumped pages, because size
of that map alone would already be 1GB.
Instead, we now use PDEs as page map entries and employ two stage lookup
in libkvm: virtual address -> PDE -> PTE -> physical address. PTEs are
now dumped as regular pages. Fixed page map size now is 2MB.
libkvm keeps support for accessing amd64 minidumps of version 1.
Support for 1GB pages is added.

libcompiler_rt.a is a BSD licensed C language runtime, which implements
many routines which are linked into binaries on architectures where
certain functionality is missing (e.g. 64 bits mul/div on i386).
Unfortunately, libcompiler_rt cannot replace libgcc entirely. Certain
features, such as an unwinder for exception handling, are missing.
That's why only libgcc.a is replaced for now, because this one does seem
to be complete.

Once we use libcompiler_rt, the LIB-line must go, to prevent libgcc.a
from being built. Therefore, just hardcode the name.
