Note that to cancel blocked kevent(2) call, changelist must be empty,
since we cannot cancel a call which already made changes to the
process state. And in reverse, call which only makes changes to the
kqueue state, without waiting for an event, is not cancellable. This
makes a natural usage model to migrate kqueue loop to support
cancellation, where existing single kevent(2) call must be split into
two: first uncancellable update of kqueue, then cancellable wait for
events.
Note that this is ABI-incompatible change, but it is believed that
there is no cancel-safe code that relies on kevent(2) not being a
cancellation point. Option to preserve the ABI would be to keep
kevent(2) as is, but add new call with flags to specify cancellation
behaviour, which only value seems to add complications.

only adds support for kernel-toolchain, however it is expected further
changes to add kernel and userland support will be committed as they are
reviewed.
As our copy of binutils is too old the devel/aarch64-binutils port needs
to be installed to pull in a linker.
To build either TARGET needs to be set to arm64, or TARGET_ARCH set to
aarch64. The latter is set so uname -p will return aarch64 as existing
third party software expects this.

This should also save and restore non-volatile Altivec registers, but that
needs to wait on solving two problems:
1. Adding the nonvolatile vector registers means we need 5 more than _JBLEN
entries in jmp_buf on 32-bit targets (64-bit is OK).
2. Need to figure out how to determine if saving/restoring vector regs
is supported on the current CPU from userland.

Implement a small enhancement to the original qsort implementation:
If the data is 32 bit aligned we can side-step the long type
version and use int instead.
The change brings a modest but significant improvement in
32 bit workloads.

Commit r279154 changed the API and ABI significantly, and {NZERO} is still
wrong.
Also, preserve errno on success instead of setting it to 0.

On FreeBSD socklen_t is unsigned so the check negative len
in inet6_opt_append() is redundant and likely to be optimized
away by the compiler.
On other operating systems this is not necessarily so, and
in the future we may want to sign it so leave the check in
but place it in a secondary position as a subtle indication
that the bogus check is intentional.

rlim_t is at least as large as long, so we don't need the
extra variable to keep the intermediate step. We don't
need the volatile either.

As a followup to r278363, there is one more case where
stayopen can be accessed uninitialized, but even after
swapping arguments, access is possible in some other
cases so prevent it completely by initializing stayopen.

The existing implementation had a broken comparison that could
overflow and return confusing values. Replace this with a check
that avoids the overflow before it happens.
Consistently return a maximum value also on the case of negative
arguments since negative is considered an overflow and means
infinity for our current setrlimit().
New revamped version is credited to Bruce Evans.

from r202992. The refcount on the cache entry is not initialized, so
any attempt to clean the cache will skip over this item since it likely
has a >0 value.
This change is currently a NOP. There is work in progress to support
freeing the cache which requires this change to avoid a memory leak.

In a couple of cases a variable "stayopen" can be checked
unitialized. This is of no danger as the complementary
condition is false but prevent the access by switching

This was a local addition to the original change from NetBSD.
Being this libc there is some chance for it to interfere with
user's cget*() functions usage. The memory leak was finely
plugged by r278300.
