The man page claims that with O_FSYNC (aka O_SYNC) the kernel will not cache
written data. However, that's not true. Nor does POSIX require it.
Perhaps it was true when that section of the man page was written in r69336
(I haven't checked). But it's not true now. Now the effect is simply that
writes are sent to disk immediately and synchronously, but they're still
cached.

Historically we have not distinguished between kernel wirings and user
wirings for accounting purposes. User wirings (via mlock(2)) were
subject to a global limit on the number of wired pages, so if large
swaths of physical memory were wired by the kernel, as happens with
the ZFS ARC among other things, the limit could be exceeded, causing
user wirings to fail.
The change adds a new counter, v_user_wire_count, which counts the
number of virtual pages wired by user processes via mlock(2) and
mlockall(2). Only user-wired pages are subject to the system-wide
limit which helps provide some safety against deadlocks. In
particular, while sources of kernel wirings typically support some
backpressure mechanism, there is no way to reclaim user-wired pages
shorting of killing the wiring process. The limit is exported as
vm.max_user_wired, renamed from vm.max_wired, and changed from u_int
to u_long.
The choice to count virtual user-wired pages rather than physical
pages was done for simplicity. There are mechanisms that can cause
user-wired mappings to be destroyed while maintaining a wiring of
the backing physical page; these make it difficult to accurately
track user wirings at the physical page layer.
The change also closes some holes which allowed user wirings to succeed
even when they would cause the system limit to be exceeded. For
instance, mmap() may now fail with ENOMEM in a process that has called
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) if the new mapping would cause the user wiring
limit to be exceeded.
Note that bhyve -S is subject to the user wiring limit, which defaults
to 1/3 of physical RAM. Users that wish to exceed the limit must tune
vm.max_user_wired.

The rewrite of strcmp in assembly uses an instruction added in PowerISA
2.05, making it SIGILL on CPUs older than the POWER6, such as the PPC970 in
the PowerMac G5. Revert this until we get clang+lld, or retire the in-tree
binutils in favor of newer binutils with IFUNC support, whichever comes
first.
Summary:
Optimize strcmp for powerpc64.
Data is loaded by double words and cmpb intruction is used to find '\0'.

It is a useful arc4random wrapper in the kernel for much the same reasons as

random.3 is only "better" in contrast to rand.3. Both are non-cryptographic
pseudo-random number generators. The opening blurbs of each's DESCRIPTION
section does emphasize this, and correctly directs unfamiliar developers to
arc4random(3). However, the summary (".Nd" or Name description) of random.3
conflicted in tone and message with that warning.
Resolve the conflict by clarifying in the Nd section that random(3) is
non-cryptographic and pseudo-random. Elide the "better" qualifier which
implied a comparison but did not provide a specific object to contrast.

Since inits for the main binary are run from rtld (for some time), the
rtld_exit atexit(3) handler, which is passed from rtld to the program
entry and installed by csu, is installed after any atexit(3) handlers
installed by main binary constructors. This means that rtld_exit() is
fired before main binary handlers.
Typical C++ static constructors are executed from init (either binary
or libs) but use atexit(3) to ensure that destructors are called in
the right order, independent of the linking order. Also, C++
libraries finalizers call __cxa_finalize(3) to flush library'
atexit(3) entries. Since atexit(3) entry is cleared after being run,
this would be mostly innocent, except that, atexit(rtld_exit) done
after main binary constructors, makes destructors from libraries
executed before destructors for main.
Fix by reordering atexit(rtld_exit) before inits for main binary, same
as it happened when inits were called by csu. Do it using new private
libc symbol with pre-defined ABI.

The current logic for CSTD/CXXSTD requires homogenity as far as the
supported C/C++ standards, which is a sensible default. However, when
dealing with differing versions of C++, some code may compile with C++11, but
not C++17 (for instance). So in order to avoid having people convert over their
code to the new standard, give the users the ability to specify the standard on
a per-program basis.
This will allow a user to override the supporting standard for a set of
programs, mixing C++11 with C++14 (for instance).

CXXSTD was added as the C++ analogue to CSTD.
CXXSTD defaults to `-std=c++11` with supporting compilers; `-std=gnu++98`,
otherwise for older versions of g++.
This change standardizes the CXXSTD variable, originally added to
googletest.test.inc.mk as part of r345203.
As part of this effort, convert all `CXXFLAGS+= -std=*` calls to use `CXXSTD`.
Notes:
This value is not sanity checked in bsd.sys.mk, however, given the two
most used C++ compilers on FreeBSD (clang++ and g++) support both modes, it is
likely to work with both toolchains. This method will be refined in the future
to support more variants of C++, as not all versions of clang++ and g++ (for
instance) support C++14, C++17, etc.
Any manual appending of `-std=*` to `CXXFLAGS` should be replaced with CXXSTD.
Example:
Before this commit:
```
CXXFLAGS+= -std=c++14
```
After this commit:
```
CXXSTD= c++14

If dso uses initial exec TLS mode, rtld tries to allocate TLS in
static space. If there is no space left, the dlopen(3) fails. If space
if allocated, initial content from PT_TLS segment is distributed to
all threads' pcbs, which was missed and caused un-initialized TLS
segment for such dso after dlopen(3).
The mode is auto-detected either due to the relocation used, or if the
DF_STATIC_TLS dynamic flag is set. In the later case, the TLS segment
is tried to allocate earlier, which increases chance of the dlopen(3)
to succeed. LLD was recently fixed to properly emit the flag, ld.bdf
did it always.

In short, the prior code was far too simplistic when it came to calling recv(2)
and failed intermittently (or in the case of Jenkins, deterministically).
Handle short recv(2)s by checking the return code and incrementing the window
into the buffer by the number of received bytes. If the number of received
bytes <= 0, then bail out of the loop, and test the total number of received
bytes vs the expected number of bytes sent for equality, and base whether or
not the test passes/fails on that fact.
Remove the expected failure, now that the hdtr testcases deterministically pass
