Qsort swap code aliases the sorted array elements to ints and longs in
order to do swap by machine words. Unfortunately this breaks with the
full code optimization, e.g. LTO.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83201 which seems to
reference code directly copied from libc/stdlib/qsort.c.

In the DESCRIPTION, put the more commonly used functions first in the
corresponding sentence, to help catch the eye.
Pull out the note about overlapping buffers to its own paragraph, as it
applies to all routines documented by this page.
Emphasize the potentially surprising strncpy(3) behavior of zero-filling the
remainder of a buffer larger than the source string.
Encourage strlcpy use; remove portability note about strlcpy(3). Adapting a
strlcpy-using code base to a platform that does not provide strlcpy in libc
is so trivial as to not be worth mentioning. (Just copy strlcpy.c out of
any BSD libc, or include and link the pre-packaged libbsd library on non-BSD
platforms.)
Likewise, expand the page's warning about ease of potential misuse to cover
all functions documented herein, and explicitly suggest using strlcpy most
of the time. The text was mostly cribbed from a similar suggestion in
gets(3).
Finally, document the remaining valid use of strncpy -- the rare
fixed-length record with no expectation of nul-termination.

This patch adds a new socket option, SO_REUSEPORT_LB, which allow multiple
programs or threads to bind to the same port and incoming connections will be
load balanced using a hash function.
Most of the code was copied from a similar patch for DragonflyBSD.
However, in DragonflyBSD, load balancing is a global on/off setting and can not
be set per socket. This patch allows for simultaneous use of both the current
SO_REUSEPORT and the new SO_REUSEPORT_LB options on the same system.
Required changes to structures:
Globally change so_options from 16 to 32 bit value to allow for more options.
Add hashtable in pcbinfo to hold all SO_REUSEPORT_LB sockets.
Limitations:
As DragonflyBSD, a load balance group is limited to 256 pcbs (256 programs or
threads sharing the same socket).
This is a substantially different contribution as compared to its original
incarnation at svn r332894 and reverted at svn r332967. Thanks to rwatson@
for the substantive feedback that is included in this commit.

Previously, libc.so would initialize its notion of the break address
using _end, a special symbol emitted by the static linker following
the bss section. Compatibility issues between lld and ld.bfd could
cause the wrong definition of _end (libc.so's definition rather than
that of the executable) to be used, breaking the brk()/sbrk()
interface.
Avoid this problem and future interoperability issues by simply not
relying on _end. Instead, modify the break() system call to return
the kernel's view of the current break address, and have libc
initialize its state using an extra syscall upon the first use of the
interface. As a side effect, this appears to fix brk()/sbrk() usage
in executables run with rtld direct exec, since the kernel and libc.so
no longer maintain separate views of the process' break address.

Each TCP connection that uses the system default cc_newreno(4) congestion
control algorithm module leaks a "struct newreno" (8 bytes of memory) at
connection initialisation time. The NULL-pointer dereference is only germane
when using the ABE feature, which is disabled by default.
While at it:
- Defer the allocation of memory until it is actually needed given that ABE is
optional and disabled by default.
- Document the ENOMEM errno in getsockopt(2)/setsockopt(2).
- Document ENOMEM and ENOBUFS in tcp(4) as being synonymous given that they are
used interchangeably throughout the code.
- Fix a few other nits also accidentally omitted from the original patch.

Rtld is not compatible with SSP, and since we link libc_pic.a to rtld
to have the basic support like memory and string copy functions, we
have to both carefully limit libc use, and to provide the ssp support
shims. This change makes the libc use in rtld more straighforward but
still limited, and allows to remove the shims, to be done in the next
commit.

This is necessary to make sure that functions that can have stack
protection are not used to update the stack guard. If not, the stack
guard check would fail when it shouldn't.
guard_setup() calls elf_aux_info(), which, in turn, calls memcpy() to
update stack_chk_guard. If either elf_aux_info() or memcpy() have
stack protection enabled, __stack_chk_guard will be modified before
returning from them, causing the stack protection check to fail.
This change uses a temporary buffer to delay changing
__stack_chk_guard until elf_aux_info() returns.

With SOFTFLOAT, libc and libm were built correctly, but any program
including fenv.h itself assumed it was on a hardfloat systen and emitted
inline fpu instructions for fedisableexcept() and friends.
Unlike r315424 which did this for MIPS, I've used riscv_float_abi_soft
and riscv_float_abi_double macros as appropriate rather than using
__riscv_float_abi_soft exclusively. This ensures that attempts to use an
unsupported hardfloat ABI will fail.

Originally, on the VAX exect() enable tracing once the new executable
image was loaded. This was possible because tracing was controllable
through user space code by setting the PSL_T flag. The following
instruction is a system call that activated tracing (as all
instructions do) by copying PSL_T to PSL_TP (trace pending). The
first instruction of the new executable image would trigger a trace
fault.
This is not portable to all platforms and the behavior was replaced with
ptrace(PT_TRACE_ME, ...) since FreeBSD forked off of the CSRG repository.
Platforms either incorrectly call execve(), trigger trace faults inside
the original executable, or do contain an implementation of this
function.
The exect() interfaces is deprecated or removed on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
