The `nonnull' attribute specifies that some function parameters should be
non-null pointers. This is very useful as it helps the compiler generate
warnings on suspicious code and can also enable some small optimizations.
Also start using 'alloc_size' attribute in the allocator functions.
This is an initial step to better integrate our libc with the compiler:
these attributes are fully supported by clang and they are also useful
for the static analyzer.
Note that due to some bogus internal procedure in the way gcc ports
are built they may require updating if they were built before r280801.

GCC is still carries an old version of cdefs.h which doesn't
accept multiple parameters for the nonnull attribute.
Since this issue probably affects many ports in the tree
we will revert it for now until gcc gets fixed.

in a separate word from the _count. This does not permit both items to
be updated atomically in a portable manner. As a result, sem_post()
must always perform a system call to safely clear _has_waiters.
This change removes the _has_waiters field and instead uses the high bit
of _count as the _has_waiters flag. A new umtx object type (_usem2) and
two new umtx operations are added (SEM_WAIT2 and SEM_WAKE2) to implement
these semantics. The older operations are still supported under the
COMPAT_FREEBSD9/10 options. The POSIX semaphore API in libc has
been updated to use the new implementation. Note that the new
implementation is not compatible with the previous implementation.
However, this only affects static binaries (which cannot be helped by
symbol versioning). Binaries using a dynamic libc will continue to work
fine. SEM_MAGIC has been bumped so that mismatched binaries will error
rather than corrupting a shared semaphore. In addition, a padding field
has been added to sem_t so that it remains the same size.

In some cases, TSC is broken and special applications might benefit
from memory mapping HPET and reading the registers to count time.
Most often the main HPET counter is 32-bit only[1], so this only gives
the application a 300 second window based on the default HPET
interval.
Other applications, such as Intel's DPDK, expect /dev/hpet to be
present and use it to count time as well.
Although we have an almost userland version of gettimeofday() which
uses rdtsc in userland, it's not always possible to use it, depending
on how broken the multi-socket hardware is.
Install the acpi_hpet.h so that applications can use the HPET register
definitions.
[1] I haven't found a system where HPET's main counter uses more than
32 bit. There seems to be a discrepancy in the Intel documentation
(claiming it's a 64-bit counter) and the actual implementation (a
32-bit counter in a 64-bit memory area).

I've looked at the GCC sources and I now understand what's going wrong.
THe C11 keywords are simply nonexistent when using C++ mode. They are
marked as C-only in the parser. This is absolutely impractical for
multiple reasons:
- The C11 keywords do not conflict with C++ naming rules. They all start
with _[A-Z]. There is no reason to make them C-only.
- It makes it practically impossible for people to use these keywords in
C header files and expect them to work from within C++ sources.
As I said in my previous commit message: GCC is by far the weirdest
compiler that I've ever used.
As GCC also gained support for the C11 keywords over time, we can patch
up <sys/cdefs.h> to not define these anymore. This has the advantage
that error messages for static assertions are printed natively and that
_Alignas() will work with even a type outside of C11 mode.
All C11 keywords are supported with GCC 4.7 and higher, with the
exception of _Thread_local and _Generic. These are only supported as of
GCC 4.9.
bsearch_b is the Apple blocks enabled version of bsearch(3).
This was added to libc in Revision 264042 but the commit

While here move some other block-related functions to the

This change extends all of the functions present in the <pthread.h> and
<threads.h> headers to have lock annotations. This will allow Clang to
warn about the following:
- Locking a function twice,
- Unlocking a function without a mutex being locked,
- Forgetting to unlock a mutex before returning,
- Destroying or reinitializing a mutex that is currenty locked,
- Using an unlocked mutex in combination with a condition variable.
Enabling these annotations already allowed me to catch a bug in one of
our userspace tools (r270749).
Back in 2011 obrien has added the #define macro in sys/sys/stddef.h to

- In the unionfs case, opendir() and fdopendir() read the directory's full
contents and cache it. This cache is not refreshed when rewinddir() is
called, so rewinddir() will not notice updates to a directory. Fix this
by splitting the code to fetch a directory's contents out of
__opendir_common() into a new _filldir() function and call this from
rewinddir() when operating on a unionfs directory.
- If rewinddir() is called on a directory opened with fdopendir() before
any directory entries are fetched, rewinddir() will not adjust the seek
location of the backing file descriptor. If the file descriptor passed
to fdopendir() had a non-zero offset, the rewinddir() will not rewind to
the beginning. Fix this by always seeking back to 0 in rewinddir().
This means the dd_rewind hack can also be removed.
While here, add missing locking to rewinddir().

The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs kernel functionality which
is exposed through /dev/cuse . In order to function the CUSE kernel
code must either be enabled in the kernel configuration file or loaded
separately as a module. Currently none of the committed items are
connected to the default builds, except for installing the needed
header files. The CUSE code will be connected to the default world and
kernel builds in a follow-up commit.
The CUSE module was written by Hans Petter Selasky, somewhat inspired
by similar functionality found in FUSE. The CUSE library can be used
for many purposes. Currently CUSE is used when running Linux kernel
drivers in user-space, which need to create a character device node to
communicate with its applications. CUSE has full support for almost
all devfs functionality found in the kernel:
- kevents
- read
- write
- ioctl
- poll
- open
- close
- mmap
- private per file handle data

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
