Escape sequences like "\n" have to be escaped twice in examples in our
mdoc(7)-based manual pages in order to be displayed properly. The problem
is that otherwise they are interpreted by mdoc(7), which results in:
printf("parent: received '%s'0, buf);
being shown to the user instead of:
printf("parent: received '%s'\n", buf);

I intend to document FreeBSD's ELF notes (see review D23982), but start
with a section documenting the format of the note section itself.

The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.

Allow src.conf to override the inferred COMPAT_ARCH and COMPAT_CPUTYPE
variables, such that a different CPU target can be specified explicitly
for the general target vs the compat target.

It does extremely useful things like execute sendmail and spew dubiously
accurate factoids.
From the feedback, it seems like it is an essential utility in a modern unix
and not at all a useless bikeshed. How do those Linux people live without it?
Reverts r358561.
These support outdated or obsolete ISA WAN (T1/E1) sync serial cards,
and these drivers haven't really been touched (other than in tree-wide
sweeps to keep them building) for 15+ years.
Related PCI devices ce and cp are still in the tree, with deprecation
proposed in D23928.

Now that we no longer have GCC 4.2.1 in the tree and can assume FreeBSD
is being built with a C++11 compiler available, we can use BSDL dtc
unconditionally and retire the GPL dtc.
GPL dtc now has FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI to help ensure it
continues to build/work on FreeBSD and is available in the ports tree
if needed.
The copy of (copyfree licensed) libfdt that we actually use is in
sys/contrib/libfdt so the extra copy under contrib/dtc/libfdt can be
removed along with the rest of the GPL dtc.

With the retirement of GCC 4.2.1 we can assume the host compiler supports
C++11, and can simplify the Clang and LLD defaults. Clang and lld are now
enabled by default everywhere, and are used as the bootstrap compiler and
linker for all targets except MIPS.

As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing
list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external
toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports).
GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later
that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is
obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It
does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V.
Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing
GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Binutils has already been reduced to installing ld only on powerpc32
and as only on amd64. (Also objdump on every arch supported by binutils
2.17.50.) Although BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP serves no purpose on MIPS there
is no reason to have a special case for it.

Make style.9 read as a current statement of C99 preferences, rather than a
description of ongoing changes to our preferred style. Alsu use the short
form "ISO C99" on the 2nd and later instances rather than repeating the
unwieldy `ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99")` each time.

Summary:
With COMPILER_FREEBSD_VERSION, we use a numeric value that we bump each
time we make a change that requires re-bootstrapping, but with the
linker variant, we instead take the entire part after "FreeBSD", as in
this example version output:
LLD 9.0.1 (FreeBSD c1a0a213378a458fbea1a5c77b315c7dce08fd05-1300006) (compatible with GNU linkers)
E.g., LINKER_FREEBSD_VERSION is currently being set to
"c1a0a213378a458fbea1a5c77b315c7dce08fd05-1300006". This means that
*any* new upstream lld version will cause re-bootstrapping.
We should only look at the numerical field we append after a dash
instead. This review attempts to make it so.
The only thing I am not happy about is the post-processing of awk output
in Makefile.inc1. I notice that our awk does not have gensub(), so it
can't substitute a numbered sub-regex with \1, \2, etc. Suggestions
welcome. :)
