MD_ROOT_SIZE and embed_mfs.sh were basically retired as part of
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2903 .
However, when building a kernel with 'options MD_ROOT_SIZE' specified, this
results in a non-working MFS, as within sys/dev/md/md.c we fall within the
wrong # ifdef.
This patch implements the following:
* Allow kernels to be built without the MD_ROOT_SIZE option, which results
in a kernel built as per D2903.
* Allow kernels to be built with the MD_ROOT_SIZE option, which results
in a kernel built similarly to the pre-D2903 way, with the following
differences:
* The MFS is now put in a separate section within the kernel (oldmfs,
so it differs from the mfs section introduced by D2903).
* embed_mfs.sh is changed, so it looks up the oldmfs section within the
kernel, gets its size and offset, sees if the MFS will fit within the
allocated oldmfs section and only if all is well does a dd of the MFS
image into the kernel.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4336
ccache is mostly beneficial for frequent builds where -DNO_CLEAN is not
used to achieve a safe pseudo-incremental build. This is explained in
more detail upstream [1] [2]. It incurs about a 20%-28% hit to populate the
cache, but with a full cache saves 30-50% in build times. When combined with
the WITH_FAST_DEPEND feature it saves up to 65% since ccache does cache the
resulting dependency file, which it does not do when using mkdep(1)/'CC
-E'. Stats are provided at the end of this message.
This removes the need to modify /etc/make.conf with the CC:= and CXX:=
lines which conflicted with external compiler support [3] (causing the
bootstrap compiler to not be built which lead to obscure failures [4]),
incorrectly invoked ccache in various stages, required CCACHE_CPP2 to avoid
Clang errors with parenthesis, and did not work with META_MODE.
The option name was picked to match the existing option in ports. This
feature is available for both in-src and out-of-src builds that use
/usr/share/mk.
Linking, assembly compiles, and pre-processing avoid using ccache since it is
only overhead. ccache does nothing special in these modes, although there is
no harm in calling it for them.
CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK is set to 'content' when using the in-tree bootstrap
compiler to hash the content of the compiler binary to determine if it
should be a cache miss. For external compilers the 'mtime' option is used
as it is more efficient and likely to be correct. Future work may optimize the
'content' check using the same checks as whether a bootstrap compiler is needed
to be built.
The CCACHE_CPP2 pessimization is currently default in our devel/ccache
port due to Clang requiring it. Clang's -Wparentheses-equality,
-Wtautological-compare, and -Wself-assign warnings do not mix well with
compiling already-pre-processed code that may have expanded macros that
trigger the warnings. GCC has so far not had this issue so it is allowed to
disable the CCACHE_CPP2 default in our port.
Sharing a cache between multiple checkouts, or systems, is explained in
the ccache manual. Sharing a cache over NFS would likely not be worth
it, but syncing cache directories between systems may be useful for an
organization. There is also a memcached backend available [5]. Due to using
an object directory outside of the source directory though you will need to
ensure that both are in the same prefix and all users use the same layout. A
possible working layout is as follows:
Source: /some/prefix/src1
Source: /some/prefix/src2
Source: /some/prefix/src3
Objdir: /some/prefix/obj
Environment: CCACHE_BASEDIR='${SRCTOP:H}' MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='${SRCTOP:H}/obj'
This will use src*/../obj as the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and tells ccache to replace
all absolute paths to be relative. Using something like this is required due
to -I and -o flags containing both SRC and OBJDIR absolute paths that ccache
adds into its hash for the object without CCACHE_BASEDIR.
distcc can be hooked into by setting CCACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/bin/distcc.
I have not personally tested this and assume it will not mix well with
using the bootstrap compiler.
The cache from buildworld can be reused in a subdir by first running
'make buildenv' (from r290424).
Note that the cache is currently different depending on whether -j is
used or not due to ccache enabling -fdiagnostics-color automatically if
stderr is a TTY, which bmake only does if not using -j.
The system I used for testing was:
WITNESS
Build options: -j20 WITH_LLDB=yes WITH_DEBUG_FILES=yes WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes
DISK: ZFS 3-way mirror with very slow disks using SSD l2arc/log.
The arc was fully populated with src tree files and ccache objects.
RAM: 76GiB
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @2.27GHz
2 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 SMT threads = hw.ncpu=16
The WITH_FAST_DEPEND feature was used for comparison here as well to show
the dramatic time savings with a full cache.

This means, that after this commit, if you want to build kernel modules
by hand (or via a port) from a head source tree, you *must* make sure
the files in /usr/share/mk are in sync with that tree. If that isn't
possible, for example when you are running on an older FreeBSD branch,
you can:
- Run "make buildenv" from your head source tree, to have the correct
environment setup. (It's advisable to have run "make buildworld", or
at a minimum "make toolchain" first.)
- Alternatively, set MAKESYSPATH to the share/mk directory under your
head source tree. If your build tools are too old, other problems may
still occur.
- Alternatively, use "make -m" and specify the share/mk directory under

executive-config.h or cvmx-config.h. In the future we may want to
revert part of these changes and supply executive-config.h and
cvmx-config.h and access to the options contained in those files via
kernel configuration files.
o) Modify the Simple Executive USB routines to support getting and setting
of the USB PID.
MACHINE_CPUARCH isn't defined. I believe that this will cover all
options.
I didn't define it in kern.mk because $M is set to MACHINE_CPUARCH and
then is expanded for the genassym.o rule in kern.post.mk and kern.mk
is included after this, so the expansion isn't quite right. I think
this is a bug in make, but don't have the time to track it to ground
(and even if I did, fixing it would require a MFC of the change to the
very old systems we're targetting with this fix).

are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
WITH_CTF=yes").
Additional (related) changes:
- propagate WITH_CTF to module builds
- do not add -g to the linker flags, it's a noop there anyway
(at least according to the man page of ld)
- do not add -g to CFLAGS unconditionally
we need to have a look if it is really needed (IMO not) or if there
is a way to add it only when WITH_CTF is used
Note: ctfconvert / ctfmerge lines will not appear in the build output,
to protect the innocent (those which do not build with WITH_CTF would
see the shell-test and may think WITH_CTF is used).

Make this conditional on 'makeoptions WITH_LEGACY=1' in the kernel config.

So now, if you:
- specify "makeoptions DEBUG=-g" in your kernel config
- make buildkernel WITH_CTF=1,
then "-g" will be added to CTFFLAGS.
However, "-g" will still not be added to CTFFLAGS when building
kernel modules, if the above steps are performed. This needs to be fixed.

utilities, add the ${DEBUG} variable from the kernel config. Otherwise,
if we build a kernel with WITH_CTF=1 set, ctfmerge will not have
the -g flag set. In this case, the cc has -g specified, so the
.o files will have debug information generated, but since ctfmerge
does not have -g set, it will strip out the ELF sections containing
the DWARF debugging info, leading to a kernel without debugging symbols.

module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

a variety of bootloaders. This sometimes means that different loader
scripts are required within one ${MACHINE_ARCH}, which makes the
current practice of using ldscript.${MACHINE_ARCH} unsuitable.
Instead, make the default the current convention and allow the ld
scripts to be overridden as necessary.
If we aren't arm, pc98 or sun4v, then enable treating warnings like
errors. That doesn't mean these platforms aren't -Werror clean, just
that we haven't enforced it before. Someone with some spare time
should investigate these three platforms to see if any can be removed.
