70c391eee8 Enable AUTO_OBJ by default if the OBJDIR is writable, only for in-tree builds.
This can be disabled by putting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, not
/etc/src.conf, or passing it in the environment.

The purpose of this rather than simply flipping the default of AUTO_OBJ to yes
is to avoid hassling users with auto.obj.mk failures if the wanted OBJDIR is
not writable. It will fallback to writing to the source directory like it does
today if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not writable.

The act of enabling MK_AUTO_OBJ disables all 'make obj' treewalks since
previous work has made those not run if MK_AUTO_OBJ==yes in Makefile.inc1.

8800d532d3 Add option UNIFIED_OBJDIR, on by default, which moves the default build OBJDIR.
This changes the build OBJDIR from the older style of /usr/obj/<srcdir> for
native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>.  This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build.  It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.

The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option will be removed and its feature made permanent
for the 12.0 release.

db03954cc0 Change native-xtools to not install by default; add a native-xtools-install.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after
r325001 as well.

The files will be installed to DESTDIR/NXTP where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.

c08529fe2a Remove spaces from CTL devices' default serial numbers
It's awkward to have spaces in CAM device serial numbers. That leads to
such things as device nodes named "/dev/diskid/MYSERIAL%20%20%201". Better
to replace the spaces with "0"s. This change only affects the default
serial numbers for users who don't provide their own.

11d34fd62a Solve the y2038 problem for powerpc
AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).

PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386).  This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.

9827e9aae9 Clean up stale dependencies after r320278
Our current approach to dependency tracking cannot cope with switching

6563dfe551 Forward compatibility for ino64.
Add forward compatibility so that new binaries can run on old
kernels. If the new system call from ino64 isn't available on your
system, then the old one will be used and the results translated.  The
stat and statfs families of functions are fully emulated. While not
required by policy, in this case it is helpful to our users to provide
this compatibility. In this case, it allows rollback of the kernel
after installing a new userland should a problem be discovered. It
also prevents foot-shooting if a user does an install before rebooting
with the new kernel. Finally, it allows the use case where one needs
to run new binaries on an old kernel as part of an upgrade process.

The getdirentries family uses tricks that may not work on remote
filesystems. Specifically, it uses a buffer 1/4 the size requested to
get the data from he old syscall.

The code carefully uses direct syscalls for old system calls to avoid
referencing freebsd11_* symbols, which contaminate ld-elf.so.1's
export table due to its use of stat functions, which causes errno to
be incorrect in client programs due to the wrong *stat* function being
resolved in some cases.

This code should removed sometime after 12 is branched.

Tested on: 12-current binaries on a 10.3-beta kernel run and return
       consistent results. 12-current kernel and userland with
       packages from before ino64 was committed also work.

c1c12fb80b UPDATING: ino64 upgrade should include COMPAT_FREEBSD11
The upgrade process requires COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to support the combination
of "old" userland and "new" kernel that exists after "make kernel" and
reboot.  Mention this explicitly for those using custom kernel configs.
Once the "new" world is installed the COMPAT_FREEBSD11 could be removed
again, but that does not seem necessary to mention in UPDATING.

The existing upgrade process documented in UPDATING is both necessary
and sufficient for upgrading across the ino64 change.  However, the
shortcut of installing both kernel + world before a single reboot has
been possible for quite some time, and several developers and users
were surprised by fallout from ino64.  Add an explicit entry pointing
out that the full process must be followed.
