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.

By logging all threads and processes 'pmc filter'
can now filter on process or thread name, relieving
the user of the burden of determining which tid or
pid was which when the sample was taken.
% pmc filter -T if_io_tqg -P nginx pmc.log pmc-iflib.log
% pmc filter -x -T idle pmc.log pmc-noidle.log
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.

- increase pmc cpuid field from 8 to 12 bits
- add cpuid version string to initialize entry in the log
so that filter can identify which counter index an
event name maps to
- GC unused config flags
- make fixed counter assignment more robust as well as the
changes needed to be properly identified for filter
Summary:
Added ptrace support for getting/setting the remaining part of the VSX registers
(the part that's not already covered by FPR or VR registers).
This is necessary to add support for VSX registers in debuggers.

Intel now provides comprehensive tables for all performance counters
and the various valid configuration permutations as text .json files.
Libpmc has been converted to use these and hwpmc_core has been greatly
simplified by moving to passthrough of the table values.
The one gotcha is that said tables don't support pentium pro and and pentium
IV. There's very few users of hwpmc on _amd64_ kernels on new hardware. It is
unlikely that anyone is doing low level optimization on 15 year old Intel
hardware. Nonetheless, if someone feels strongly enough to populate the
corresponding tables for p4 and ppro I will reinstate the files in to the
build.
Code for the K8 counters and !x86 architectures remains unchanged.
This is a follow-up to r321483, which disabled -Wmacro-redefined for
some lib/msun tests.
If an application included both fenv.h and ieeefp.h, several macros such
as __fldcw(), __fldenv() were defined in both headers, with slightly
different arguments, leading to conflicts.
Fix this by putting all the common macros in the machine-specific
versions of ieeefp.h. Where needed, update the arguments in places
where the macros are invoked.
This also slightly reduces the differences between the amd64 and i386
versions of ieeefp.h.

The new protocol from the kernel encodes things as a string table,
extract it into fields. strdup the strings, and free them when we're
done.

It seems a shame to ruin the patina of the June 4, 1993 date
on abort.3, especially since it still matched the date of
