- Remove FreeBSD 4.x of building the kernel.
While it might technically work, it is better to
document the 'correct' way than how to shoot oneself
in the foot
- Remove reference to CVS -P for src.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after
r325001 as well.
The files will be installed to DESTDIR/NXTP where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.

files will produce an error and buildkernel will fail. Previously missing
KERNCONF files silently failed giving no indication as to why, only to
subsequently discover during installkernel that the desired kernel was
never built in the first place.
This is a rework of r302865.
This is the correct patch.

It's awkward to have spaces in CAM device serial numbers. That leads to
such things as device nodes named "/dev/diskid/MYSERIAL%20%20%201". Better
to replace the spaces with "0"s. This change only affects the default
serial numbers for users who don't provide their own.

AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).
PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386). This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.

Our current approach to dependency tracking cannot cope with switching
generated asm syscall stubs into C wrappers. Perpetuate the hack in
Makefile.inc1 to paper over the problem until we can take a holistic
approach to fixing dependency problems.

Add forward compatibility so that new binaries can run on old
kernels. If the new system call from ino64 isn't available on your
system, then the old one will be used and the results translated. The
stat and statfs families of functions are fully emulated. While not
required by policy, in this case it is helpful to our users to provide
this compatibility. In this case, it allows rollback of the kernel
after installing a new userland should a problem be discovered. It
also prevents foot-shooting if a user does an install before rebooting
with the new kernel. Finally, it allows the use case where one needs
to run new binaries on an old kernel as part of an upgrade process.
The getdirentries family uses tricks that may not work on remote
filesystems. Specifically, it uses a buffer 1/4 the size requested to
get the data from he old syscall.
The code carefully uses direct syscalls for old system calls to avoid
referencing freebsd11_* symbols, which contaminate ld-elf.so.1's
export table due to its use of stat functions, which causes errno to
be incorrect in client programs due to the wrong *stat* function being
resolved in some cases.
This code should removed sometime after 12 is branched.
Tested on: 12-current binaries on a 10.3-beta kernel run and return
consistent results. 12-current kernel and userland with
packages from before ino64 was committed also work.

All manpages in base are now compatible with mandoc(1), all roff documentation
will be relocated in the doc tree. man(1) can now use groff from the ports tree
if it needs.
Also remove checknr(1) and colcrt(1) which are only useful with groff.

META_MODE users actually do not need to do anything special assuming
they have COMPAT_FREEBSD11 enabled. The host tools in WORLDTMP will
continue to work just fine.
- mention COMPAT_FREEBSD11 earlier so that the steps are in chronological
order
- suggest removing /usr/obj before build to ensure there are no stale
objects

The upgrade process requires COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to support the combination
of "old" userland and "new" kernel that exists after "make kernel" and
reboot. Mention this explicitly for those using custom kernel configs.
Once the "new" world is installed the COMPAT_FREEBSD11 could be removed
again, but that does not seem necessary to mention in UPDATING.
Reported by: kib

The existing upgrade process documented in UPDATING is both necessary
and sufficient for upgrading across the ino64 change. However, the
shortcut of installing both kernel + world before a single reboot has
been possible for quite some time, and several developers and users
were surprised by fallout from ino64. Add an explicit entry pointing
out that the full process must be followed.
