This is needed so that setting LD/XLD is not ignored when linking with $CC
instead of directly using $LD. Currently only clang accepts an absolute
path for -fuse-ld= (Clang 12+ will add a new --ld-path flag), so we now
warn when building with GCC and $LD != "ld" since that might result in the
wrong linker being used.
We have been setting XLD=/path/to/cheri/ld.lld in CheriBSD for a long time and
used a similar version of this patch to avoid linking with /usr/bin/ld.
This change is also required when building FreeBSD on an Ubuntu with Clang:
In that case we set XCC=/usr/lib/llvm-10/bin/clang and since
/usr/lib/llvm-10/bin/ does not contain a "ld" binary the build fails with
`clang: error: unable to execute command: Executable "ld" doesn't exist!`
unless we pass -fuse-ld=/usr/lib/llvm-10/bin/ld.lld.
This change passes -fuse-ld instead of copying ${XLD} to WOLRDTMP/bin/ld
since then we would have to ensure that this file does not exist while
building the bootstrap tools. The cross-linker might not be compatible with
the host linker (e.g. when building on macos: host-linker= Mach-O /usr/bin/ld,
cross-linker=LLVM ld.lld).

The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared
code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive
new features sooner and with less effort.
I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade'
or creating indispensable pools using new
features until this change has had a month+
to soak.
Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was
at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018.
I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD
to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD
support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December
2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in
to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues
that were reported have been addressed or, for
a couple of less critical matters there are
pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems
has tested and dogfooded extensively internally.
The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with
some additional features that have not yet made
it upstream.
Improvements include:
project quotas, encrypted datasets,
allocation classes, vectorized raidz,
vectorized checksums, various command line
improvements, zstd compression.
Thanks to those who have helped along the way:
Ryan Moeller, Allan Jude, Zack Welch, and many
others.

It was a driver for a USB FM tuner that was available in the market in 2002. I
wrote the driver in 2003. I've not used it since 2005 or so, so it's time to
retire this driver. No userland code ever interfaced to the special device it
created. There's no user base: the last bug I received on this driver was in
2004.
Relnotes: Yes
This was discussed in arch@ a while ago. Most of the 16-bit drivers that it
relied on have been removed. There's only a few other drivers remaining that
support it, and those are very rare the days (even the once ubiquitious wi(1)
is now quite rare).
Indvidual drivers will be handled separately before pccard itself is removed.
This is only needed when linking and fixes various "unused command
line argument" warnings during the lib32 build.

Add prng(9) as a replacement for random(9) in the kernel.
There are two major differences from random(9) and random(3):
- General prng(9) APIs (prng32(9), etc) do not guarantee an
implementation or particular sequence; they should not be used for
repeatable simulations.
- However, specific named API families are also exposed (for now: PCG),
and those are expected to be repeatable (when so-guaranteed by the named
algorithm).
Some minor differences from random(3) and earlier random(9):
- PRNG state for the general prng(9) APIs is per-CPU; this eliminates
contention on PRNG state in SMP workloads. Each PCPU generator in an
SMP system produces a unique sequence.
- Better statistical properties than the Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG
(longer period, uniform distribution in all bits, passes
BigCrush/PractRand analysis).
- Faster than Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG -- no division is required to
step PCG-family PRNGs.
For now, random(9) becomes a thin shim around prng32(). Eventually I
would like to mechanically switch consumers over to the explicit API.

These tools require a bootstrap llvm-tblgen/clang-tblgen and that cannot
be built with the current make infrastructure: the config header is not
correct for Linux/macOS and we don't include the CMakeLists.txt in contrib

Since the make variable STRIP is already used for other purposes, this
uses STRIPBIN (which is also used for the same purpose by install(1).
This allows using LLVM objcopy to strip binaries instead of the in-tree
elftoolchain objcopy. We make use of this in CheriBSD since passing
binaries generated by our toolchain to elftoolchain strip sometimes results
in assertion failures.
This allows working around https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248516
by specifying STRIPBIN=/path/to/llvm-strip
