an allocation. This fixes the malloc 'use after free' panic on boot that
many were seeing. It doesn't solve the problem of the allocations being
cached and then written past their bounds later. That will take more work.

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.

The same problem applies to if_bridge(4), too.
- Copy-and-paste the if_bridge(4) related block from
if_ethersubr.c to ng_ether.c
- Add XXXs, so that copy-and-paste would be noticed by
any future editors of this code.
- Also add XXXs near if_bridge(4) declarations.

appear to be never called:
(1) If a function is never called according to its call count but it
must have been called because its child time is nonzero, then print
it in the flat profile. Previously, if its call count was zero
then we only printed it in the flat profile if its self time was
nonzero.
(2) If a function has a zero call count but has a nonzero self or child
time, then print its total self time in the self time per call
column as a percentage of the total (self + child) time. It is
not possible to print the times per call in this case because the
call count is zero. Previously, this was handled by leaving both
per-call columns blank. The self time is printed in another column
but there was no way to recover the total time.
(1) partially fixes the case of the "never called" function main() and
prepares for (2) to apply to main() and other functions. Profiling
of main() was lost in the conversion from a.out to ELF, so main()'s
call count has always been zero for many years; then in the common
case where main() is a tiny function, it gets no profiling ticks, so
main() was completely lost in the flat profile.
(2) improves mainly cases like kernel threads. Most kernel threads
appear to be never called because they are always started before
userland can run to turn on profiling. As for main(), the fact that
they are called is not very interesting and their callers are
uninteresting, but their relative self time is interesting since they
are long-running.
Almost always printing percentages in the per-call columns would be
more useful than almost always printing 0.0ms. 0.1ms is now a long
time, so only very large functions take that long per call. The accuracy
per call can approach 1-10 nsec provided programs are run for about
100000 times as long as is necessary to get this accuracy with high
resolution kernel profiling.

- Rename vxfoo() functions to vx_foo() to improve readability and
consistency with other drivers.
- Prefix most the softc members with 'vx_' (the other members already had
the prefix).
- Switch to using callout_init_mtx() and callout_*() rather than
timeout() and untimeout().
- Add some missing calls to if_free() in some failure cases in vx_attach().
- Use if_printf() and remove the unit number from the softc.
- Remove uses of the 'register' keyword and spls.
- Add locked variants of vx_init() and vx_start().
- Add a mutex to the softc and lock it in various appropriate places.
- Setup the interrupt handler last during attach.

It allows to specify options for NFS root file system.
Currently supported options are: soft, intr, conn, lockd.
I'm adding this functionality mostly for 'lockd' option, which is only
honored when performing the initial mount and will be silently ignored
if used while updating the mount options.
This will allow to use flock(2) without the need of using varmfs or
rpc.lockd and friends.
Example of use:
boot.nfsroot.options="intr,lockd"

- http is a lightweight, multithreaded HTTP query tool, which performs
a timed measurement of the rate at which it can download files using
single-fetch HTTP/1.0. Other than specifying the IP and a URL path,
it requires zero configuration.
- httpd is a lightweight, multithreaded HTTP server tool, which exports
a single file of choice to the HTTP client, and responds with it no
matter what the request. Other than specifying the file to export,
it requires zero configuration.
The goal of these tools is to measure the network costs associated with
HTTP serving, rather than file system, HTTP protocol parsing, error
handling, etc, and as such, parts relating to less interesting components
of HTTP testing are intentionally omitted. Both are linked against
libpthread by default.

Regarding the locking I let Ariff explain it himself:
---snip---
About the locking, that is what I'm intended to do since the beginning.
The reason I'm not putting that along since my first patchset was
because several people especially from amd46 camp reported that it cause
lots of LORs, which is weird considering that I've never encounter such
in a pretty much strict locking environment (i386). However, since our
previous discussion with Pyun YongHyeon about strict locking, I've
decided to bring it back for all the affected drivers, not just for
es137x. It turns out that the root of the problem was within dsp.c
during device open, which has been fixed since dsp.c revision 1.84.
