in 1993 in rev.1.5 of the i386 a.out version (csu/i386/crt0.c).
Profiling uses a magic label "eprol" to delimit the start of the part
of the text section covered by profiling. This label must be placed
before the call to main() to get main() properly profiled. It was
placed there in rev.1.1 of crt0.c. Rev.1.5 imported the initial
implementation of shared libraries in FreeBSD and misplaced the label.
Fortunately, the misplaced label was misspelled and the old label
wasn't removed, so the new label had no effect. Unfortunately, when
profiling was implemented for the ELF in 1998 in rev.1.2 of
csu/i386-elf/crt1.c, only the incorrectly placed label was copied
(after fixing its name). The bug was then copied to all other arches.
The label seems to be still misplaced in NetBSD for most arches. It
is in common.c for most arches so it is even further from being inside
the function that calls main().
I think "eprol" is short for "end of prologue", but it must be placed
before the end of the prologue so that it covers main(). crt0.c has
it before the calls atexit(_mcleanup) and monstartup(...), but it
cannot affect these calls so I moved it after the call to monstartup().
It now also covers the call to _init() but not the newer call to
_init_tls(). Profiling of _init() seems to be harmless, and the call
to _init_tls() seems to be misplaced.
Reviewed by: jdp (long ago, for a slightly different i386 version)
since it has been MFC'ed. See the log message for the previous commit
for more details. The alignment bug in gcc-3 has not been fixed, but
it is not very serious and the previous commit just moved it (as intended).
Approved by: re (murray)
-fomit-frame-pointer is not used). This is mostly moot for -current
because gcc-3 does the alignment (slightly incorrectly) in main().
This patch is intended for easy MFC'ing and should be backed out in
-current soon since it causes compiler warnings and better fixes are
possible in -current. The best fix is to do nothing here and wait for
gcc to do stack alignment right. gcc-3 aligns the stack in main(), but
does it too late for main()'s local variables and too late for anything
called before main(). A misaligned stack is now more than an efficiency
problem, since some SSE instructions in some or all (hardware)
implementations trap on misaligned operands even if alignment checking
is not enabled.

Assembler macros are tidied up and made as similar as sanely possible.
The macros are translated into C (__inline static) functions for lint.
Declaration orders are made the same.
Declarations are all ISOfied and tidied up.
Comment contents have gratuitous diffs removed.
The net result is a bunch of crt1.c's that are 90% the same.
It may be possible to now encapsulate the differences in one
MD header, and have only one MI crt1.c file (although the macros
to do this may be ugly).

Also, make an internal _getprogname() that is used only inside
libc. For libc, getprogname(3) is a weak symbol in case a
function of the same name is defined in userland.
when using the egcs and gcc-devel ports, along with GCC built from stock
public FSF sources. With out this change, FreeBSD will be removed from
the list of systems GCC 3.0 must be evaluated on before release. With
the effort some of us put into getting FreeBSD on this list, we should
not turn this effort into a waste, else we might not be worth fighting
for in the future. (note that Alpha and IA-64 versions of crt{i,n}.S
are needed)
* Switch from our own crt{begin,in} to those created from GCC's crtstuff.c.
This will allow us to switch to DWARF2 exceptions in the future, along with
staying in sync with any future GCC requirements.
* Break out our ELF branding bits into a seperate file. Currently this
is now included by our crt1.c files (since this functionality was part of
our native crtbegin.c). Later crtbrand.o will be merged in the creation
of crti.o.
the executable file, so it will work for both a.out and ELF format
files. I have split the object format specific code into separate
source files. It's cleaner than it was before, but it's still
pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
