Also add xrefs for confstr(3) (as sysconf(3) but for strings) and kvm(3)
(which is a more convenient way to access some of the variables).

SUSv4 requires that implementation returns EINVAL if supplied path is NULL,
and ENOENT if path is empty string [1].
Bring prototype in conformance with SUSv4, adding restrict keywords.
Allow the resolved path buffer pointer be NULL, in which case realpath(3)
allocates storage with malloc().

Simplify the presented declaration of struct sigaction, noting the
caveat in the text. Real layout of the structure and exposed
implementation namespace only obfuscates the usage.

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.

rounding (impl. dep. #55), the SPARC JPS1 responsible for SPARC64 and
UltraSPARC processors defines that in all cases tininess is detected
before rounding therefore rounding up to the smallest normalized number
should set the underflow flag. This change is needed for using SoftFloat
on sparc64 for reference purposes.

This fix mostly matters after r206129 that made it possible for
st_blksize to be greater than 4K. For this reason, this change should
be MFC-ed before r206129.
Also, it seems that all FreeBSD uitlities that use db(3) hash databases
and create new databases in files, specify their own block size value
and thus do not depend on block size autotuning.

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
not refer to a path name. Change vn_open() to respect this flag. This
also simplifies the Linuxolator a bit.

- If an infinite result is rounded down, the result should have an
exponent 1 less than the value for infinity.

- 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.

operands but not for double and extended double ones. Instead of trying
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.
- Use const where appropriate.
- Wrap long lines.
