some ctfmerge crashes that started to occur on i386 weeks after r274569 was
committed. Some later investigation indicated that the crashes were caused
by malformed CTF info that led to a stack overflow. The issue with CTF
info in i386 kernels seems to have been resolved by r261246, which updated
libdwarf and libelf.
r274569 fixes a bug which caused duplicate types to appear in the kernel's
CTF info. This duplication generally does not cause problems when using
DTrace, but makes it easier to hit the limit of 2^15 - 1 distinct type
definitions in a CTF container.

This merge is effectively a no-op since parts of it are already present
in FreeBSD, and the rest is incorrect since gelf_newehdr(3) and
gelf_newphdr(3) return pointers on FreeBSD rather than integers.
Illumos issue:
5589 improper use of NULL in tools/ctf
MFC after: 3 days
Since the upstream for cddl code is now illumos not sun, mechanically
convert all sun #ifdef's to illumos #ifdef's which have been used in all
newer code for some time.
Also do a manual pass to correct the use if #ifdef comments as per style(9)
as well as few uses of #if defined(__FreeBSD__) vs #ifndef illumos.

emitting the DIE for the type of that member. ctfconvert can not
handle this properly and will calculate a wrong member bit offset.
Same struct/union type from different .o file will be treated as
different types when their member bit offsets are different, and
gets added/merged multiple times. This will in turn cause many other
structs/pointers/typedefs that refer to the duplicated struct/union
gets added/merged multiple times and eventually causes numerous
duplicated CTF types in the kernel.debug file.
The simple workaround here is to make use of DW_AT_byte_size attribute
of the member DIE to calculate the bits occupied by the member's type,
without actually resolving the type.

like GCC could generate DW_TAG_base_type DIE without a name.
Note that we didn't need this before because the old libdwarf
internally set all the unnamed DIE's name to "__anon__".

GCC can generate bogus dwarf attributes with DW_AT_byte_size
set to 0xFFFFFFFF.
The issue was originaly detected in NetBSD but it has been
adapted for portability and to avoid compiler warnings.

only other case where STT_FILE symbols are used, in symit_next() in

puts the full original source filename in the STT_FILE entry of the ELF
symbol table, while gcc saves only the basename.
Since the DWARF DW_AT_name attribute contains the full source filename,
both for clang and gcc, ctfconvert takes just the basename of it, for
matching with the STT_FILE entry. So when attempting to match with such
an entry, use its basename, if necessary.

CTF format is not cross-platform by design, e.g. it is not guaranteed
that data generated by ctfconvert/ctfmerge on one architecture will
be successfuly read on another. CTF structures are saved/restored
using naive approach. Roughly it looks like:
write(fd, &ctf_struct, sizeof(ctf_struct))
read(fd, &ctf_struct, sizeof(ctf_struct))
By sheer luck memory layout of all type-related CTF structures is the same
on amd64/i386/mips32/mips64. It's different on ARM though. sparc, ia64,
powerpc, and powerpc64 were not tested. So in order to get file compatible
with dtrace on ARM it should be compiled on ARM. Alternative solution would
be to have "signatures" for every platform and ctfmerge should convert host's
reperesentation of CTF structure to target's one using "signature" as template.
This patch checks byte order of ELF files used for generating CTF record
and makes sure that byte order of data written to resulting files is the same
as target's byte order.
CTF can not represent enums with more than CTF_MAX_VLEN members, but
ctfconvert will happily ignore that limitation and create CTF section no
other tool can interpret.
This change is different from similar change from upstream, which just
returns an error if big enum is encountered. Doing that means that
every FreeBSD kernel with compiled in hwpmc will have no useable CTF
information due to pmc_event enum having 1236+ members.
use 'const' and just override it whenever we feel like it. If we use
it at all, then we need to do it properly.
Add a couple of functions that were useful in getting this code ported.
