.h files. This simplifies the Makefile here a bit and makes it behave
better in a couple of situations. While I'm here, clean up some comments
and try to improve the organization a bit.

mpool_open(3) - it is *not* really used for synchronization; in fact,
it is not used at all.

This should provide a big performance boost for folks using NIS or LDAP.

This closes a security hole. Otherwise, libarchive will happily
extract into directories to which it lacks write permissions by
resetting the permissions during the extract.

_mcount() stub when profiling is enabled. Emit this code sequence
for assembly routines as welli (MCOUNT definition in <machine/asm.h>.
We do not pass the GOT entry however as the 4th argument, because it's
not used. The _mcount() stub calls __mcount(), which does the actual
work. Define _MCOUNT_DECL to define __mcount. We do not have an
implementation of mcount(), so we define MCOUNT as empty, but have a
weak alias to _mcount() in _mcount.S.
Note that the _mcount() stub in the kernel is slightly different from
the stub in userland. This is because we do not have to worry about
nested routines in the kernel.
64 bit systems, years roughly -2^31 through 2^31 can be represented in
time_t without any trouble. 32 bit time_t systems only range from
roughly 1902 through 2038. As a consequence, none of the date munging
code for all the various calendar tweaks before then is present. There
are other problems including the fact that there was no 'year zero' and
so on. So rather than get excited about trying to figure out when the
calendar jumped by two weeks etc, simply disallow negative (ie: prior to
1900) years.
This happens to have an important side effect. If you bzero a 'struct
tm', it corresponds to 'Jan 0, 1900, 00:00 GMT'. This happens to be
representable (after canonification) in 64 bit time_t space. Zero tm
structs are generally an error and mktime normally returns -1 for them.
Interestingly, it tries to canonify the 'jan 0' to 'dec 31, 1899', ie:
year -1. This conveniently trips the negative year test above, which
means we can trivially detect the null 'tm' struct.
This actually tripped up code at work. :-/ (Don't ask)
GP register, because it's clobbered for calls across load modules. The
previous commit inserted the call to _init_tls() between the call to
atexit() and the restoration of the GP register clobbered by it. Fix:
restore GP before we call _init_tls().

This fixes the example to provide the correct output.
