When parsing the month "juillet" (abbr "jul"), %B recognized it as
"juin" (abbr "jui") because the full name of the month names is

The new behaviour checks the full names first before checking the

This joint work of Dag-Erling Smørgrav and myself updates the
FFS quota system to support both traditional 32-bit and new 64-bit
quotas (for those of you who want to put 2+Tb quotas on your users).
By default quotas are not compiled into the kernel. To include them
in your kernel configuration you need to specify:
options QUOTA # Enable FFS quotas
If you are already running with the current 32-bit quotas, they
should continue to work just as they have in the past. If you
wish to convert to using 64-bit quotas, use `quotacheck -c 64';
if you wish to revert from 64-bit quotas back to 32-bit quotas,
use `quotacheck -c 32'.
There is a new library of functions to simplify the use of the
quota system, do `man quotafile' for details. If your application
is currently using the quotactl(2), it is highly recommended that
you convert your application to use the quotafile interface.
Note that existing binaries will continue to work.
Special thanks to John Kozubik of rsync.net for getting me
interested in pursuing 64-bit quota support and for funding
part of my development time on this project.

POSIX permits but does not require checking access on the current and parent
directories.
Because various programs do not like it if getcwd(3) fails, it seems best
to avoid checking access as much as possible. There are various reports in
GNATS about this (search for getcwd).
Our getcwd(3) implementation first queries the kernel for the pathname
directly, which does not check any permissions but sometimes fails, and then
falls back to reading all parent directories for the names.

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.
According to POSIX open() must return ENOTDIR when the path name does

- Use word-sized test for unaligned pointer before working
the hard way.
Memory page boundary is always integral multiple of a word
alignment boundary. Therefore, if we can access memory
referenced by pointer p, then (p & ~word mask) must be also
accessible.
- Better utilization of multi-issue processor's ability of
concurrency.
The previous implementation utilized a formular that must be
executed sequentially. However, the ~, & and - operations can
actually be caculated at the same time when the operand were
different and unrelated.
The original Hacker's Delight formular also offered consistent
performance regardless whether the input would contain
characters with their highest-bit set, as it catches real
nul characters only.
These two optimizations has shown further improvements over the
previous implementation on microbenchmarks on i386 and amd64 CPU
including Pentium 4, Core Duo 2 and i7.

to fix the macro just nuke it and unroll the loops in the correct way
though as extended double operands turn out to be the only special case.
- For FxTO{s,d,q} the source operand is int64 so rs2 has to be re-decoded
after setting type accordingly as it's generally decoded using the low
2 bits as the type, which are 0 for these three instructions.
- Similarly, in case of F{s,d,q}TOx the target is int64 so rd has to be
re-decoded using not only the operand mask appropriate for int64 but
also the correct register number encoding.

Empty string test gone wrong.
Testing this requires that you have a locale that has the sign string
unset but has int_n_sign_posn set (the default locale falls through to
use "()" around negative numbers which is probably another bug).
I created that setup by hand and indeed without this fix negative
numbers are put out as positive numbers (doesn't fall through to use
"-" as default indicator).
Unfixed example in nl_NL.ISO8859-1 with lc->negative_sign set to empty
string:
strfmon(buf, sizeof(buf), "%-8i", -42.0);
==>
example2: 'EUR 42,00' 'Eu 42,00'
Fixed:
example2: 'EUR 42,00-' 'Eu 42,00-'
This file and suggested fix are identical in at least freebsd-8.
Backport might be appropriate but some expert on locales should
probably have a look at us defaulting to negative numbers in
parenthesis when LC_* is default. That doesn't look right and is not
what other OSes are doing.
