4b7738dba1 Mostly remove the VM_STACK OPTION.
This changes the definitions of a few items so that structures are the
same whether or not the option itself is enabled. This allows
people to enable and disable the option without recompilng the world.

As the author says:

|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option.  I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it.  The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch.  There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.

what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in.  This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches.  The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize).  It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c.  This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch.  I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.
|
[..]
|
|Once the alpha code is adequately tested, we can pull VM_STACK out
|everywhere.

05a2232887 Enable Linux threads support by default.
This takes the conditionals out of the code that has been tested by
various people for a while.
ps and friends (libkvm) will need a recompile as some proc structure
changes are made.

18a366f3a0 Build __error.c into libc, but not libc_r. The weak symbol in the
file works with libpthread, but when built into libc_r which has a non-weak
symbol of the same name, the linker behaves unpredicatably and sometimes
links the wrong symbol. The linker behaviour is a byproduct of what
the program calls from object to object so it is like winning a lottery
if the program actually works. The odds are quite good - 95:1, I think.
We need a sure thing, though, so weak symbols can't be used instead
of renaming things.

Note odd `sigmask()' line in synopsis.  `sigsetops(3)' is better suited

8ed0defc6e Finish _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. Needs P1003_1B and
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work.  Changes:

Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b".  Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;

Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;

Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;

Add options to LINT;

Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.

b4450959de For 1.3, NetBSD walloped the msync syscall and replaced it with
__msync13. The old one got moved to compat_12. Wrap __msync13 up
to look like FreeBSD's msync and be careful to respect the fact that
MS_SYNC is 0x0000 on FreeBSD, but 0x0004 on NetBSD.
