the same name. Bump __FreeBSD_version to note its introduction.

Note: clock accepts CLOCK_VIRTUAL and CLOCK_PROF too, but this seems broken
as it simply waits for the difference of the current and given value of the
clock as if it were CLOCK_MONOTONIC. So document only CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC as allowed.

Last year I added SLIST_REMOVE_NEXT and STAILQ_REMOVE_NEXT, to remove
entries behind an element in the list, using O(1) time. I recently
discovered NetBSD also has a similar macro, called SLIST_REMOVE_AFTER.
In my opinion this approach is a lot better:
- It doesn't have the unused first argument of the list pointer. I added
this, mainly because OpenBSD also had it.
- The _AFTER suffix makes a lot more sense, because it is related to
SLIST_INSERT_AFTER. _NEXT is only used to iterate through the list.
The reason why I want to rename this now, is to make sure we don't
release a major version with the badly named macros.
- Document the minor(3), major(3) and makedev(3) macro's. They also
apply to umajor() and uminor() in the kernel, but hopefully we'll sort
that out one day.
- Briefly dev2unit() inside the make_dev(9) manual page, since this is
now the preferred macro to obtain character device unit numbers inside
the kernel.
- Remove the device_ids(9) manual page. It contains highly inaccurate
information, such as a description of the nonexistent major().
Even though single linked lists allow items to be removed at constant time
(when the previous element is known), the queue macro's don't allow this.
Implement new REMOVE_NEXT() macro's. Because the REMOVE() macro's also
contain the same code, make it call REMOVE_NEXT().
The OpenBSD version of SLIST_REMOVE_NEXT() needs a reference to the list
head, even though it is unused. We'd better mimic this. The STAILQ version
also needs a reference to the list. This means the prototypes of both
macro's are the same.

the Open Group manpage for pthread_atfork(), available online at:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pthread_atfork.html
which should be ok, since Daniel Eischen had mailed me about Open
Group manpages and the fact that they have granted permission to
FreeBSD to use their material. Any differences from the OG text are
my changes to the original manpage text submitted by Alex Vasylenko:
- In an effort to clean up the part that describes hooks and their
calling order, I used a list instead of a single paragraph for all the three
types of fork() hooks.
- After a short discussion with Dima Dorfman a long long time ago in a
far away galaxy, I changed the RETURN VALUES section to look more
like the rest of the pthread_xxx.3 manpages.

to mistakes from day 1, it has always had semantics inconsistent with
SVR4 and its successors. In particular, given argument M:
- On Solaris and FreeBSD/{alpha,sparc64}, it clobbers the old flags
and *sets* the new flag word to M. (NetBSD, too?)
- On FreeBSD/{amd64,i386}, it *clears* the flags that are specified in M
and leaves the remaining flags unchanged (modulo a small bug on amd64.)
- On FreeBSD/ia64, it is not implemented.
There is no way to fix fpsetsticky() to DTRT for both old FreeBSD apps
and apps ported from other operating systems, so the best approach
seems to be to kill the function and fix any apps that break. I
couldn't find any ports that use it, and any such ports would already
be broken on FreeBSD/ia64 and Linux anyway.
By the way, the routine has always been undocumented in FreeBSD,
except for an MLINK to a manpage that doesn't describe it. This
manpage has stated since 5.3-RELEASE that the functions it describes
are deprecated, so that must mean that functions that it is *supposed*
to describe but doesn't are even *more* deprecated. ;-)
Note that fpresetsticky() has been retained on FreeBSD/i386. As far
as I can tell, no other operating systems or ports of FreeBSD
implement it, so there's nothing for it to be inconsistent with.

- Sort MAN and MLINKS in "dictionary" order ignoring case.
- For multi-value MAN and multi-pair MLINKS, put each value/pair
on its own line, for easier sorting and so that further diffs
are easier to see.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
Also corrected a few minor formatting errors, file location and cross
references in some of the section 3 man pages.
This shuts up a lot of the output from "manck" for section 3.
The private clean rules have been broken since we started
building compressed man pages in the obj directory and the
others don't do anything different from the general rules.
