Previously, libc.so would initialize its notion of the break address
using _end, a special symbol emitted by the static linker following
the bss section. Compatibility issues between lld and ld.bfd could
cause the wrong definition of _end (libc.so's definition rather than
that of the executable) to be used, breaking the brk()/sbrk()
interface.
Avoid this problem and future interoperability issues by simply not
relying on _end. Instead, modify the break() system call to return
the kernel's view of the current break address, and have libc
initialize its state using an extra syscall upon the first use of the
interface. As a side effect, this appears to fix brk()/sbrk() usage
in executables run with rtld direct exec, since the kernel and libc.so
no longer maintain separate views of the process' break address.

The RFC specifies that under IPv6 the complete AH header must be 64 bit
aligned, and under IPv4, 32 bit aligned. Prior to this change, we (along
with other BSDs and MacOS) had violated this requirement.
This makes it possible to set up IPv6-AH between Linux and BSD, and also
probably between Windows and BSD.

Writing one union member and reading another is technically illegal C,
although we do it in many places in the tree. Use the __DECONST macro
instead, which is (technically) a valid C construct.

vm_map_madvise(). Previously, vm_map_madvise() used a traditional Unix-
style "return (0);" to indicate success in the common case, but Mach-
style return values in the edge cases. Since KERN_SUCCESS equals zero,
the only problem with this inconsistency was stylistic. vm_map_madvise()
has exactly two callers in the entire source tree, and only one of them
cares about the return value. That caller, kern_madvise(), can be
simplified if vm_map_madvise() consistently uses Unix-style return
values.
Since vm_map_madvise() uses the variable modify_map as a Boolean, make it
one.
Eliminate a redundant error check from kern_madvise(). Add a comment
explaining where the check is performed.
Explicitly note that exec_release_args_kva() doesn't care about
vm_map_madvise()'s return value. Since MADV_FREE is passed as the
behavior, the return value will always be zero.

Summary:
The kernel reads 'kernelname' to set the kern.bootfile sysctl. By setting this,
'make installkernel' will backup the running kernel as appropriate.

- Change headers to more closely match what we use
- use more standard functions instead of bzero, bcmp, bcopy
- Add myself to authors.

- increase pmc cpuid field from 8 to 12 bits
- add cpuid version string to initialize entry in the log
so that filter can identify which counter index an
event name maps to
- GC unused config flags
- make fixed counter assignment more robust as well as the
changes needed to be properly identified for filter
This adds the -U options to pmcstat which will attribute in-kernel samples
back to the user stack that invoked the system call. It is not the default,
because when looking at kernel profiles it is generally more desirable to
merge all instances of a given system call together.
Although heavily revised, this change is directly derived from D7350 by
Jonathan T. Looney.

- avoid the need to call a function to get size of known array. I'll
likely re-arrange some of the indirect in a later to avoid the magic
constants.
- use correct type
- add const
- replace caddr_t with void*. This corrects an alignment warning.
- remove duplicated include from immediately prior commit

With -lpl, code surrounded by parentheses in continuation lines is lined up
even if it would extend past the right margin.
With -nlpl (the default), such a line that would extend past the right
margin is moved left to keep it within the margin, if that does not require
placing it to the left of the prevailing indentation level.
These switches have no effect if -nlp is selected.

With -lp, if a line has an opening paren which is not closed on that line,
then continuation lines will be lined up to start at the character position
just after the opening paren.

gcc8 warns that "verf" was set but not used. This was because the code
that uses it is disabled via a "#if 0".
This patch adds a "#if 0" to the variable's declaration and assignment
to get rid of the warning.
This way the code could be re-enabled without difficulty.

Rewrite the macros so that they take a parameter. Consumers use it to signal
how much room in the buffer they need; this lets them do that once when
required space is known instead of doing the check once every loop step.
Also take the parameter value into consideration when resizing the buffer;
the requested space may be larger than the constant 400 bytes that the
previous version used - now it's the sum of those two values.
On the consumer side, don't copy strings byte by byte - use memcpy().
Deduplicate code that copied base 2, base 8 and base 16 literals.
Don't advance the e_token pointer once the token has been copied into
s_token. This allows easy calculation of the token's length.
The troff output in indent was invented at Sun and the online documentation
for some post-SunOS operating system includes this:
The usual way to get a troffed listing is with the command
indent -troff program.c | troff -mindent
The indent manual page in FreeBSD 1.0 already lacks that information and
troff -mindent complains about not being able to find the macro file.
It seems that the file did exist on SunOS and was supposed to be imported
into 4.3BSD together with the feature, but that has never happened.
Removal of troff output support simplifies a lot of indent's code.
vgrind(1) seems to be a promising replacement.
