provides truer debugger stack traces. For those that want to stick with
-O2 kernel builds, one should probably add -fno-optimize-sibling-calls
so that each stack frame as a frame pointer.
It is semi-promissed by the Release Engineers that when RELENG_6 is
created we go back to -O2.

problem I had but it's happening in code that is messing around with
register windows - I'm willing to live with that piece being sensitive
to this and it looks like the other problems we had reported lately
are not fixed by using -O instead of -O2.
Sorry for the churn. Looks like I need a second pointy hat. Someone
tells me they stack well. :-))))
-O2 on kernel compiles after all. While working on adding a KASSERT
to sparc64/sparc64/rwindow.c I found that it was "position sensitive",
putting it above a call to flushw() instead of below caused corruption
of processes on the system. jake and jhb have both confirmed there is
no obvious explanation for that. The exact same kernel code does not
have the process corruption problem if compiled with -O instead of -O2.
There have been signs of similar issues floated on the sparc64@ mailing
list, lets see if this helps make them go away.
Note this isn't an optimal fix as far as the file format goes, if this
disgusts too many people I'll fix it the right way. Since compiling
with something other than -O is a known problem this format would prevent
a change to the default causing grief. And this may also help motivate
finding out what the compiler is doing wrong so we can shift back to
using -O2. :-)
My turn for the pointy hat... One of the florescent ones...

This does not change the queueing yet. These changes will follow in a
seperate commit. Same with the driver changes, which need case by case
evaluation.
__FreeBSD_version bump will follow.

was not present in what I originally tested when checking to see if
the kernel built/ran with the -O2 change. Recent instability in
sparc64 kernel was tracked to this. A reproducible kernel stack
traceback followed by hard hang during the call to msleep() at the
point the kernel waits 15 seconds for the SCSI bus to settle crept in
to recent kernel builds and it seems to go away with this patch.

I've added -fno-strict-aliasing for now so we can ease into this.
I wanted to shoot for -O3, but the inlining caused problems due to GCC's
size heuristics; so also add -frename-registers, which is one of the things
-O3 would have given us.
Fix 'broken' ifdefs.
icc does not support profiling yet so remove unfinished code which was
supposed to help.

Intel C/C++ compiler (lang/icc) to build the kernel.
The icc CPUTYPE CFLAGS use icc v7 syntax, icc v8 moans about them, but
doesn't abort. They also produce CPU specific code (new instructions
of the CPU, not only CPU specific scheduling), so if you get coredumps
with signal 4 (SIGILL, illegal instruction) you've used the wrong
CPUTYPE.
Incarnations of this patch survive gcc compiles and my make universe.
I use it on my desktop.
To use it update share/mk, add
/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin (icc v7, works)
or
/usr/local/intel_cc_80/bin (icc v8, doesn't work)
to your PATH, make sure you have a new kernel compile directory
(e.g. MYKERNEL_icc) and run
CFLAGS="-O2 -ip" CC=icc make depend
CFLAGS="-O2 -ip" CC=icc make
in it.
Don't compile with -ipo, the build infrastructure uses ld directly to
link the kernel and the modules, but -ipo needs the link step to be
performed with Intel's linker.
Problems with icc v8:
- panic: npx0 cannot be emulated on an SMP system
- UP: first start of /bin/sh results in a FP exception

Previously one had to set both DEBUG and DEBUG_FLAGS to build the
.ko.debug with debugging symbols which was boring when doing this
manually.
there is no need turn it off when compiling with -finstrument-functions.
Having -Winline turned off mainly broke checking for bogus inlines in
kernels configured with high resolution profiling, e.g., LINT. Not
turning it off unbreaks the warnings for bogus inlines in istallion.c,
but at least the i386 LINT still builds because istallion.c is compiled
without -Werror due to other bugs in it.
Don't put the name of the file in a comment. $FreeBSD$ gives more than

Fixed misdescription of the file. It isn't the whole unified Makefile...

-finline-limit and -fno-strict-aliasing to a less wrong place. They
were in the section for profiling.
the amd64 implementation of the pcpu macros is even more verbose than on
i386 and that causes gcc to way overestimate the complexity of this
2-instruction macro. The other platforms can probably lower their
default values.

Lint probably still needs fixing, as do a couple of other drivers

set an initial value. This is aimed at getting us closer to being able to
turn -Werror back on and we can adjust the settings later on. Yes, we
could turn off -Wno-inline instead, but that would hide the effect of
gcc's bogo-estimator ignoring inline (either rightly or wrongly).
without -Werror, we do "make WERROR=", which doesn't need this
variable.

- Add ${WERROR} for the ${NORMAL_M} case.

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

works essentially the same as the latter but has a higher overhead
(about 22 more bytes per function for passing unused args to the
profiling functions).
Removed all traces of the IDENT Makefile variable, which had been
reduced to just a place for holding profiling's contribution to CFLAGS
(the IDENT that gives the kernel identity was renamed to KERN_IDENT).
