aa12cea2cc mdoc: order prologue macros consistently by Dd/Dt/Os
Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

fbd8b34a06 MFP4: Enhancements to pmcstat(8):
- Allow the "-t" option to take a regular expression naming command
  line processes to attach process PMCs to.

- Update the manual page and add an example showing the use of the
  new functionality.

- Update the (c) year on the affected source files.

ee4910b119 MFP4: Enhancements and bug-fixes to pmcstat(8):
- The '-c' option now takes a comma-separated list of CPU
   numbers, or a literal '*' denoting all CPUs in the system.
   Subsequent system PMCs are allocated on the CPUs so specified.

   Change the default behaviour to allocate system PMCs on all CPUs,
   not just CPU 0.

   Update the manual page and add an example of how to use the new
   functionality.

 - Attach PMCs to a (commandline) child process more reliably.  This
   fixes a long standing bug in counting events incurred by short-lived
   processes.

302cbb9054 - Teach pmcstat(8) to log over the network; the -O option now
takes a host:port specification.
- Update the manual page and add an example showing how log
  over the network using pmcstat(8) and nc(1).  Document the
  current inability to process logs in cross-platform manner.
- Have pmcstat_open_log() call err(3) directly in case
  of an error; this simplifies error handling in its caller.

49874f6ea3 MFP4: Support for profiling dynamically loaded objects.
Kernel changes:

  Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by
  kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and
  munmap().  A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been
  added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve
  the list of currently loaded kernel modules.

  The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour
  of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces
  space wastage in the log.

  Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00".  Teach hwpmc(4) to
  handle the map change callbacks.

  Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold
  32 samples (up from 16).

  Increment __FreeBSD_version.

libpmc(3) changes:

  Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring
  the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code.

pmcstat(8) changes:

  Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M"
  (mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control).  Option "-k" now
  takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with
  the older invocation syntax.

  Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for
  interned strings.  Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for
  tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4).

  Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending
  on the requested verbosity level.

151392465f MFP4:
- pmcstat(8) gprof output mode fixes:

  lib/libpmc/pmclog.{c,h}, sys/sys/pmclog.h:
  + Add a 'is_usermode' field to the PMCLOG_PCSAMPLE event
  + Add an 'entryaddr' field to the PMCLOG_PROCEXEC event,
    so that pmcstat(8) can determine where the runtime loader
    /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is getting loaded.

  sys/kern/kern_exec.c:
  + Use a local struct to group the entry address of the image being
    exec()'ed and the process credential changed flag to the exec
    handling hook inside hwpmc(4).

  usr.sbin/pmcstat/*:
  + Support "-k kernelpath", "-D sampledir".
  + Implement the ELF bits of 'gmon.out' profile generation in a new
    file "pmcstat_log.c".  Move all log related functions to this
    file.
  + Move local definitions and prototypes to "pmcstat.h"

- Other bug fixes:
  + lib/libpmc/pmclog.c: correctly handle EOF in pmclog_read().
  + sys/dev/hwpmc_mod.c: unconditionally log a PROCEXIT event to all
    attached PMCs when a process exits.
  + sys/sys/pmc.h: correct a function prototype.
  + Improve usage checks in pmcstat(8).
