Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

When the armv6 support was imported from a project branch, this complex
conditional logic and related #define'd values came along, but it's really
not clear what the intent of it all was. The effect, however, was that
OSABI was always set to zero, which is "UNIX System V ABI". Having the wrong
value there causes pkg(8) to avoid looking inside arm elf binaries to
determine shared-lib required/provides info for packaging.

The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

This targets the existing ARMv6 and ARMv7 SoCs that contain a VFP unit.
This is an optional coprocessors may not be present in all devices, however
it appears to be in all current SoCs we support.
armv6hf targets the VFP variant of the ARM EABI and our copy of gcc is too
old to support this. Because of this there are a number of WITH/WITHOUT
options that are unsupported and must be left as the default value. The
options and their required value are:
* WITH_ARM_EABI
* WITHOUT_GCC
* WITHOUT_GNUCXX
In addition, without an external toolchain, the following need to be left
as their default:
* WITH_CLANG
* WITH_CLANG_IS_CC
As there is a different method of passing float and double values to
functions the ABI is incompatible with existing armv6 binaries. To use
this a full rebuild of world is required. Because no floating point values
are passed into the kernel an armv6 kernel with VFP enabled will work with
an armv6hf userland and vice versa.
On MIPS .dynamic is read-only and so a special section .rld_map is used

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.

* elf64-sparc.c (sparc64_elf_relocate_section): Adjust addend of
dynamic relocs against section symbols for the output section vma.
However, with the addition of TLS support in the upstream rev. 1.104
this fix was essentially reverted. After factoring out the common parts
of elf32-sparc.c and elf64-sparc.c a comment was added to elfxx-sparc.c
in the upstream rev. 1.27 as part of unrelated changes, saying that the
fix from elf64-sparc.c rev. 1.61 indeed should be implemented, but given
that some unspecified OS has a broken ld.so expecting broken relocations
deliberately is omitted.
As the current behavior actually violates the SPARC ABI, FreeBSD never
had such a broken ld.so and this is actually causing problems with at
least kernel modules linked with binutils 2.17.50 committed in r218822
without the workaround committed in r219340 in place, re-implement the
above fix in a way so that is only applied if the output format is
ELFOSABI_FREEBSD. In the upstream version it probably would make sense
to invert this check and only skip adjusting the addend for the OS with
the broken ld.so, once it's determine which one that is.

it should also be MI. The problem here arises when ld ends up linking a

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
