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.

cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron

MIPS-III because FreeBSD relies on a number of MIPS-III features; the ABI
default would be MIPS-I which we don't intend to support. Our old default
before I switched to using the ABI default was MIPS32.
o) Add TARGET_ABI to the MIPS toolchain build process. This sets the default
ABI to one of o32, n32 or n64. If it is not set, o32 is assumed as that is
the current default.
o) Set the default GCC cpu type to any specified TARGET_CPUTYPE. This is
necessary to have a working "cc" if e.g. mips64 is specified, as binutils
will refuse to link objects using different ISAs in some cases.
o) Add support for n32 and n64 ABIs to binutils and GCC.
o) Add additional required libgcc2 stubs for n32 and n64.
o) Add support for the "mips64r2" architecture to GCC. Add the "octeon"
o) When static linking, wrap default libraries in --start-group and
--end-group. This is required for static linking to work on n64 with the
interdependencies between libraries there. This is what other OSes that
support n64 seem to do, as well.
o) Fix our GCC spec to define __mips64 for 64-bit targets, not __mips64__, the
former being what libgcc, etc., check and the latter seemingly being a
misspelling of a hand merge from a Linux spec.
o) When no TARGET_CPUTYPE is specified at build time, make GCC take the default
ISA from the ABI. Our old defaults were too liberal and assumed that 64-bit
ABIs should default to the MIPS64 ISA and that 32-bit ABIs should default to
the MIPS32 ISA, when we are supporting or will support some systems based on
earlier 32-bit and 64-bit ISAs, most notably MIPS-III.
o) Merge a new opcode file (and support code) from a later version of binutils
and add flags and code necessary to support Octeon-specific instructions.

so that kgdb can be used more like a normal gdb:
- Load the kernel via the standard 'exec' target and allow it to be changed
via the 'file' command.
- Instead of explicitly loading the kernel file as the mail symbol file
during startup, just pass it to gdb_main() as the executable file.
- Change the kld support (via shared libraries) to cache the address of
the linker_files and linker_kernel_file variables in addition to the
offsets of various members in 'struct linker_file'.
- When a new symbol file is loaded, recompute the addresses and offsets
used by the kld support code.
- When a new symbol file is loaded, recalculate the ofs_fix variable to
account for the different ways a trapframe can be passed to trap
frame handlers in i386. This is done by adding a MD
kgdb_trgt_new_objfile() hook that is empty on all but i386.
- Don't use the directory name of the kernel specified on the command
line to find kernel modules in the kld support code. Instead,
extract the filename of the current executable via exec_bfd. Now
the 'kernel' variable is private to main.c again.
- Make the 'add-kld' command explicitly fail if no executable is loaded.
- Make the support for vmcores a real core-dump target that opens the
kernel and vmcore on open and closes the kvm connection when closed, etc.
- The 'core' command can now be used to select a vmcore to use, either
a crash dump file or /dev/mem for live debugging.
- The 'detach' command can be used to detach from a vmcore w/o attaching
to a new one.
- kgdb no longer explicitly opens a core dump during startup and no longer
has to use an atexit() hook to close the kvm connection on shutdown.
- Symbols for kld's are automatically loaded anytime a core is opened.
Also, the unread portion of dmesg is dumped just as it was done on kgdb
startup previously.
- Don't require either a remote target or core dump if a kernel is specified.
You can now just run 'kgdb kernel' similar to running gdb on an executable
and later connect to a remote target or core dump.
- Use a more relaxed way to verify remote targets specified via -r.
Instead of explicitly allowing a few non-file target specifications,
just assume that if stat() on the arg and on "/dev/" + arg both fail
that is some non-file target and pass it to gdb.
- Don't use a custom interpreter. The existing kgdb_init() hook and the
target_new_objfile() hook give us sufficient hooks during startup to
setup kgdb-specific behavior now.
- Always add the 'proc', 'tid', and 'add-kld' commands on startup and not
just if we have a core dump. Currently the 'proc' and 'tid' commands do
not work for remote targets (I will fix at least 'tid' in the next round
of changes though). However, the 'add-kld' command works fine for
loading symbols for a kernel module on a remote target.
- Always setup the 'kld' shared library target operations instead of just
if we have a core dump. Although symbols for kernel modules are not
automatically loaded when connecting to a remote target, you can do
'info sharedlibrary' after connecting to the remote target and kgdb will
find all the modules. You can then use the 'sharedlibrary' command to
load symbols from the module files.

a junk pointer and possibly causing a seg fault if we don't have any
non-kernel klds (or are unable to walk the list due to core / kernel

source upgrades by falling back to GNU ar(1) as necessary. Option
WITH_BSDAR is gone. Option _WITH_GNUAR to aid in upgrades is *not*
supposed to be set by the user.

there are no known bugs in it. Bump __FreeBSD_version to anticipate
this and to flag the switch to BSD ar(1), should it be needed for
something.
