791da841a1 Take -Wconversion out of BDECFLAGS. It is not particularly useful for
us anyway because it doesn't work right on the x86 and alpha.  On
K&R code, small ints would be promoted to int.  ANSI-C doesn't require
this and the small ints can be passed taking 8 or 16 bits of stack
space.  However, the x86 abi that we use *does* promote to 32 bit,
and the alpha ABI passes them in 64 bit registers so we dont have
that aspect of the problem here.  Losing float precision by having it
cast down to int because the funtion prototype specifies int is the
least of our problems.  -Wmissing-prototypes helps here anyway.

62d90fb793 Overhaul the MACHINE_CPU behaviour:
* Rip out MACHINE_CPU stuff from sys.mk and include a new <bsd.cpu.mk>
  after we pull in /etc/make.conf.  We need to do it afterwards so we can
  react to the user setting of the:

* CPUTYPE variable, which contains the CPU type which the user wants to
  optimize for.  For example, if you want your binaries to only run on an
  i686-class machine (or higher), set this to i686.  If you want to support
  running binaries on a variety of CPU generations, set this to the lowest
  common denominator.  Supported values are listed in make.conf.

* bsd.cpu.mk does the expansion of CPUTYPE into MACHINE_CPU using the
  (hopefully) correct unordered list of CPU types which should be used on
  that CPU.  For example, an AMD k6 CPU wants any of the following:
    k6 k5 i586 i486 i386
  This is still an unordered list so the client makefile logic is simple -
  client makefiles need to test for the various elements of the set in
  decreasing order of priority using ${MACHINE_CPU:M<foo>}, as before.
  The various MACHINE_CPU lists are believed to be correct, but should be
  checked.

* If NO_CPU_CFLAGS is not defined, add relevant gcc compiler optimization
  settings by default (e.g. -karch=k6 for CPUTYPE=k6, etc).  Release
  builders and developers of third-party software need to make sure not to
  enable CPU-specific optimization when generating code intended to be
  portable.  We probably need to move to an /etc/world.conf to allow the
  optimization stuff to be applied separately to world/kernel and external
  compilations, but it's not any worse a problem than it was before.

* Add coverage for the ia64/itanium MACHINE_ARCH/CPUTYPE.

* Add CPUTYPE support for all of the CPU types supported by FreeBSD and gcc
  (only i386, alpha and ia64 first, since those are the minimally-working
  ports.  Other architecture porters, please feel free to add the relevant
  gunk for your platform).

0937df81ca Introduce support for using OpenSSL ASM optimizations. This is done
through the use of a new build directive, MACHINE_CPU, which contains a
list of the CPU generations/features for which optimizations are desired.
This feature will be extended to cover the ports tree in the future.

Currently OpenSSL provides optimizations for i386, i586 and i686-class
CPUs. Currently it has not been tested on an i386 or i486.

Teach make(1) to provide sensible defaults for MACHINE_CPU if it is not
defined (namely, the lowest common denominator CPU we support for each
architecture).  Currently this is i386 for the i386 architecture and ev4
for the alpha.  sys.mk also sets the variable as a last resort for
consistency with MACHINE_ARCH and bootstrapping from very old versions of
make.

Benchmarks show a significant speed increase even in the i386 case, with
additional improvements for i586 and i686 systems.  For maximum performance
define MACHINE_CPU=i686 i586 i386 in /etc/make.conf.

f5749a8265 Intoduce a new make.conf entry, NO_MAKEDEV, and modifications to
/etc/Makefile so that if it is defined, MAKEDEV all is not called
during a make distribution.  This helps clean up the messy userland
in jail(), by reducing the number of devices exposed in jail.
Modifications to jail(2) to follow.

f3fd3a0091 Explicitly list the i/o addresses of the serial ports.
Prompted by docs/12343, in which people seemed to get a little confused.
The original text in the file said:

[...]
# By default we use COM1 as our serial console port *if* we're going to use
# a serial port as our console at all.  (0x3E8 = COM2)
#
#BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8
[...]

From what I can make out, some people have assumed that means that if
they just uncomment the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT then it will use COM2:
These same people then assume that "0x3F8" on that line is a typo for
"0x3E8".

What it actually means is that if you uncomment the line then the default
stays as "Ox3F8" (COM1:), and that you have to uncomment the line, *and*
change the value of the variable in order to use COM2:.

So I've made that a little bit clearer.  I've also listed the hex values
for COM1: thru COM4:, snarfed from sys/isa/isareg.h.
