For some reason, libc exports the symbol .cerror (HIDENAME(cerror)), albeit
in the FBSDprivate_1.0 version. It looks like there is no reason for this
since it is not used from other libraries. Given that it cannot be accessed
from C and its strange calling convention, it is rather unlikely that other
things rely on it. Perhaps it is from a time when symbols could not be
hidden.
Most of the amd64 assembler code jumps to .cerror using the GOT. It can jump
to it directly now, as in non-PIC mode.
There are also some minor size optimizations to instructions but they yield
virtually no benefit in the size of libc.so.7 due to padding.

Not exporting .cerror causes it to be jumped to directly instead of via the
PLT.
This change also takes advantage of .cerror's new status by not saving and
loading %ebx before jumping to it. (Therefore, .cerror now saves and loads
%ebx itself.) Where there was a conditional jump to a jump to .cerror, the
conditional jump has been changed to jump to .cerror directly (many modern
CPUs don't do static prediction and in any case it is not much of a benefit
anyway).
This change makes libc.so.7 a few kilobytes smaller.

This structure is not part of POSIX. According to POSIX, gettimeofday()
has the following prototype:
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *restrict tp, void *restrict tzp);
Also, POSIX states that gettimeofday() shall return 0 (as long as tzp is
not used). Remove dead error handling code. Also use NULL for a
nul-pointer instead of integer 0.
While there, change all pieces of code that only use tv_sec to use
time(3), as this provides less overhead.
We especifically ignored the glibc compatibility changes
but this should help interaction with Solaris and Linux.

__rpc_taddr2uaddr_af() assumes the netbuf to always have a

seg-fault. This patch adds a check for zero length and returns

libtirpc: set r_netid and r_owner in __rpcb_findaddr_timed
These fields in the rpcbind GETADDR call are being passed uninitialized
to CLNT_CALL. In the case of x86_64 at least, this usually leads to a
segfault. On x86, it sometimes causes segfaults and other times causes
garbage to be sent on the wire.
rpcbind generally ignores the r_owner field for calls that come in over
the wire, so it really doesn't matter what we send in that slot. We just
need to send something. The reference implementation from Sun seems to
send a blank string. Have ours follow suit.

libtirpc: be sure to free cl_netid and cl_tp
When creating a client with clnt_tli_create, it uses strdup to copy
strings for these fields if nconf is passed in. clnt_dg_destroy frees
these strings already. Make sure clnt_vc_destroy frees them in the same
way.

pthread_suspend_all_np() may have already suspended its parent thread.
Add locking code in pthread_suspend_all_np() to only allow one thread
to suspend other threads, this eliminates a deadlock where two or more
threads try to suspend each others.

Magic tests containing "search" or "regex" directives were incorrectly

On Windows, AUX is the auxiliary device, usually pointing to COM1.
Therefore it is forbidden to create a file named aux.c. To make it a bit
easier for Windows users to check out our source code, rename this file
to auxv.c.

Apart from the fact that nothing should have OPEN_MAX as a limit (as opposed
to RLIMIT_NOFILE from getrlimit() or _SC_OPEN_MAX from sysconf()), POSIX
does not require us to check this. POSIX does have a requirement on the
application that maxfds not exceed {OPEN_MAX}, but does not require the
implementation to check it ("may fail").
