Bruce Evans 3764a82377 Simplified PCPU_GET() and PCPU_SET(). We must copy through a temporary
variable to avoid invalid constraints in dead code.  Use an array of
u_char's (inside a struct) instead of a char/short/int/long variable so
that the variable and its accesses can be spelled in the same way in all
cases and code doesn't need to be cloned just to hold the spelling
differences.

Fixed strict-aliasing errors in PCPU_SET() and in the amd64 PCPU_GET().
Cast to (void *) as in rev.1.37 of the i386 version where the errors
were fixed for the i386 PCPU_GET() only.  It would be more correct to
copy to and from the temp. variable using memcpy(), but then an
ifdef tangle would be required to ensure using the builtin memcpy().
We depend on fairly aggressive optimization to put the temp. variable
only in a register despite it being copied using
*(type *)(void *)&anothertype and could depend on this when using
memcpy() too.  This seems to work right even for -O0, but the -O0 case
has not been completely tested.

This change gives identical object code for all object files in LINT
on amd64 (except for one file with a __TIME__ stamp).  For LINT on
i386 it gives unimportant differences in instruction order and padding
in a few object files.  This was only tested for -O.

This change (actually a previous version of it) gives the following
reductions in the number of object files in LINT that fail to compile
with -O2 but without the -fno-strict-aliasing kludge:
- amd64: 29 (down from 211)
- i386: 36 (down from 47)

gcc-3.4.6 actually allows the invalid constraints that result from not
using the temp. variable, at least with -O[1-2], but gcc-3.3.3 crashes
on them and I don't want to depend on compiler bugs.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
