kvm_uread() function, used for reading from /proc/pid/mem, was
removed too. But the function declaration remained in kvm.h
public header and the soname was not bumped.
Remove kvm_uread() from kvm.h and bump the soname.

but ACM formula we use have internal state (and return value) in the

Correct both RAND_MAX and rand(3) return value, shifting last one

a macro with parameters. Remove a __DECONST hack and add consts instead
for gnu libiconv API compatability. This makes it work with things like
devel/boost-libs that expects to use "iconv" as though it were a pointer.
Expose iconv functions as weak symbols as well as their internal
remapped #define names. This is necessary for autoconf compatability -
on Linux it appears that #include <iconv.h> isn't a link time
prerequisite for their version that's built into glibc.
Initialize the pthread rwlock. Note that upstream has three
separate locks. The file-local static lock appears intentional.
I'm using this as a ports-compatible compile-time substitute for
converters/libiconv on one of my personal machines.
As mentioned before, we should at least aim to have one piece of code in
both user space and kernel space that uses C11 atomics, to get some
coverage. This piece of code can be migrated trivially, so it's a good
candidate.

performance.
- Always free to the alloc bucket if there is space. This gives LIFO
allocation order to improve hot-cache performance. This also allows
for zones with a single bucket per-cpu rather than a pair if the entire
working set fits in one bucket.
- Enable per-cpu caches of buckets. To prevent recursive bucket
allocation one bucket zone still has per-cpu caches disabled.
- Pick the initial bucket size based on a table driven maximum size
per-bucket rather than the number of items per-page. This gives
more sane initial sizes.
- Only grow the bucket size when we face contention on the zone lock, this
causes bucket sizes to grow more slowly.
- Adjust the number of items per-bucket to account for the header space.
This packs the buckets more efficiently per-page while making them
not quite powers of two.
- Eliminate the per-zone free bucket list. Always return buckets back
to the bucket zone. This ensures that as zones grow into larger
bucket sizes they eventually discard the smaller sizes. It persists
fewer buckets in the system. The locking is slightly trickier.
- Only switch buckets in zalloc, not zfree, this eliminates pathological
cases where we ping-pong between two buckets.
- Ensure that the thread that fills a new bucket gets to allocate from
it to give a better upper bound on allocation time.

real shared object and libssp_nonshared.a.
This was the last showstopper that prevented from enabling SSP for ports
by default. portmgr@ performed a buildworld which showed no significant
breakage with this patch.
Details:
On i386 for PIC objects, gcc uses the __stack_chk_fail_local hidden
symbol instead of calling __stack_chk_fail directly [1]. This happen
not only with our gcc-4.2.1 but also with the latest gcc-4.8. If you
want the very nasty details, see [2].
OTOH the problem doesn't exist on other architectures. It also doesn't
exist with Clang as the latter will somehow manage to create the
function in the object file at compile time (contrary to only
referencing it through a symbol that will be brought in at link time).
In a perfect world, when an object file is compiled with
-fstack-protector, it will be linked into a binary or a DSO with this
same flag as well, so GCC will add libssp_nonshared.a to the linker
command-line. Unfortunately, we don't control softwares in ports and we
may have such broken DSO. This is the whole point of this patch.
You can reproduce the problem on i386 by compiling a source file into an
object file with "-fstack-protector-all -fPIE" and linking it
into a binary without "-fstack-protector".
This ld script automatically proposes libssp_nonshared.a along with the
real libc DSO to the linker. It is important to understand that the
object file contained in this library will be pulled in the resulting
binary _only if_ the linker notices one of its symbols is needed (i.e.
one of the SSP symbol is missing).
A theorical performance impact could be when compiling, but my testing
showed less than 0.1% of difference.
[1] For 32-bit code gcc saves the PIC register setup by using
__stack_chk_fail_local hidden function instead of calling
__stack_chk_fail directly. See comment line 19460 in:
src/contrib/gcc/config/i386/i386.c
[2] When compiling a source file to an object file, if you use something
which is external to the compilation unit, GCC doesn't know yet if
this symbol will be inside or outside the DSO. So it expects the
worst case and routes the symbol through the GOT, which means
additional space and extra relocation for rtld(1).
Declaring a symbol has hidden tells GCC to use the optimal route (no
GOT), but on the other hand this means the symbol has to be provided
in the same DSO (namely libssp_nonshared.a).
On i386, GCC actually uses an hidden symbol for SSP in PIC objects
to save PIC register setup, as said in [1].
