program running under linux emulation, the script binary is checked for
in /compat/linux first. Without this patch the wrong script binary

For example, #!/bin/sh, thus breaking out of linux compatibility mode.
This solves a number of problems people have had installing linux
software on FreeBSD boxes.
maintainers.
After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

to `register_t *'. This fixes bugs like misplacement of argc and argv
on the user stack on i386's with 64-bit longs. We still use longs to
represent "words" like argc and argv, and assume that they are on the
stack (and that there is stack). The suword() and fuword() families
should also use register_t.
Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound
termio
All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.
While there, cleanup linux.h some more.
linux.h and linux_ioctl.[ch] have been made to conform to style(9) as
much as possible.

-----------------------------
The compatibility code and/or emulators have been updated:
iBCS2 now mostly uses the older syscalls. SVR4 now properly
handles all signals. This has been achieved by using the
new sigset_t throughout the emulator. The Linuxulator has
been severely updated. Internally the new Linux sigset_t is
made the default. These are then mapped to and from the
new FreeBSD sigset_t.
Also, rt_sigsuspend has been implemented in the Linuxulator.
Implementing this syscall basicly caused all this sigset_t
changing in the first place and the syscall has been used
throughout the change as a means for testing. It basicly is
too much work to undo the implementation so that it can
later be added again.
A special note on the use of sv_sigtbl and sv_sigsize in
struct sysentvec:
Every signal larger than sv_sigsize is not translated and is
passed on to the signal handler unmodified. Signals in the
range 1 upto and including sv_sigsize are translated.
The rationale is that only the system defined signals need to
be translated.
The emulators also have been updated so that the translation
tables are only indexed for valid (system defined) signals.
This change also fixes the translation bug already in the
SVR4 emulator.
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets

This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.

This fixes a boatload of compiler warning, and removes a lot of cruft

I have not removed the /*ARGSUSED*/, they will require some looking at.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
