debug files for userland programs and libraries. The "-g" debug flag
is automatically applied when WITH_DEBUG_FILES is set.
The debug files are now named ${prog}.debug and ${shlib}.debug for
consistency with other systems and documentation. In addition they are
installed under /usr/lib/debug, to simplify the process of installing
them if needed after a crash. Users of bsd.{prog,lib}.mk outside of the
base system place the standalone debug files in a .debug subdirectory.
GDB automatically searches both of these directories for standalone
debug files.
Thanks to everyone who contributed changes, review, and testing during
development.
When looking up the absolute path for a kld, call find_kld_path() first.
This enables locating the module in a different directory than the one
stored in kernel memory.
With this change, kgdb can now be run on a kernel & vmcore whose associated
modules are located in the same directory as the kernel. This makes
independent triaging of problems much easier.
This change also does not break the normal kgdb use case where no arguments
are specified; in that case kgdb loads the running kernel and its modules.

on a core, when the core was stopped, by calling kgdb_trgt_core_pcb().
This has 2 advantages:
1. We don't need to include a machine-specific header anymore and as
such kthr.c is truly machine independent. This allows the code to
be used in a cross-debugger.
2. We don't need to lookup stoppcbs in generic code when it's an
inherently target-spicific symbol. It does not exist for ia64.
Implement kgdb_trgt_core_pcb() for all architectures, except ia64, by
calling a common function called kgdb_trgt_stop_pcb(). This function
differs from kgdb_trgt_core_pcb() in that it gets the size of the PCB
structure as an argument and as such remains machine independent.
On ia64 the PCB for stopped cores is in the PCPU structure itself.
This for better scaling. The implementation of kgdb_trgt_core_pcb()
for ia64 uses the cpuid_to_pcpu[] array to to obtain the address of
the PCB structure.
This allows a remote session to be specified with '-r' as well as a
non-default baudrate setting using '-b'.

r238211:
Support TARGET_ARCH=armv6 and TARGET_ARCH=armv6eb
This adds a new TARGET_ARCH for building on ARM
processors that support the ARMv6K multiprocessor
extensions. In particular, these processors have
better support for TLS and mutex operations.
This mostly touches a lot of Makefiles to extend
existing patterns for inferring CPUARCH from ARCH.
It also configures:
* GCC to default to arm1176jz-s
* GCC to predefine __FreeBSD_ARCH_armv6__
* gas to default to ARM_ARCH_V6K
* uname -p to return 'armv6'
* make so that MACHINE_ARCH defaults to 'armv6'
It also changes a number of headers to use
the compiler __ARM_ARCH_XXX__ macros to configure
processor-specific support routines.

This makes our naming scheme more closely match other systems and the
expectations of much third-party software. MIPS builds which are little-endian
should require and exhibit no changes. Big-endian TARGET_ARCHes must be

with warnings which should become errors in the near future) to the top-level

cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

Implement MACHINE_ARCH=mips64e[lb] to build N64 images. This replaces
MACHINE_ARCH=mipse[lb] TARGET_ABI=n64.
MACHINE_ARCH=mipsn32e[lb] has been added, but currently requires
WITHOUT_CDDL due to atomic issues in libzfs. I've not investigated
this much, but implemented this to preserve as much of the TARGET_ABI
functionality that I could. Since its presence doesn't affect the
working cases, I've kept it in for now.
Added mips64e[lb] to make universe, so more kernels build.
And I think this (finally) closes the curtain on the tbemd tree.
thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
Unlike for modules with dso type, in elf object modules all the sections
have virtual address of zero. So, it is insufficient to add module base
address to section virtual address (as recorded in section header) to
get section address in kernel memory.
Instead, we should apply the same calculations that are performed by
kernel loaders (in boot code and in kernel) when they lay out sections
in memory.

freebsd-based names for filenames. This allows us to eliminate
almost all of the uses of ${MACHINE_ARCH} here to do special things, and
instead we use it to include filenames. This makes new architectures easier
to support.
Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.
