file formats. I have added a new rc.conf variable ${ldconfig_paths_aout}
which is like ${ldconfig_paths}, but only for a.out shared libraries.
On a "standard" ELF system, the ELF ldconfig path is taken from
${ldconfig_paths}, while the a.out ldconfig path is taken from
${ldconfig_paths_aout}.
On a not-yet-converted a.out system, only the a.out ldconfig path
is set, and it is taken from ${ldconfig_paths_aout}. If that
variable is unset, /etc/rc defaults it to the value of ${ldconfig_paths},
on the assumption that the system's "/etc/rc.conf" file hasn't been
updated.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x). Per ANSI-C, this is
guaranteed to be the same thing.
I've been running these on my system here w/o ill effects for some
time. However, the CTM-express is at part 6 of 34 for the CAM
changes, so I've not been able to do a build world with the CAM in the
tree with these changes. Shouldn't impact anything, but...
References from GDB to "printf" and various other functions would
find the versions in the dynamic linker itself, rather than the
versions in the program's libc. This fix moves the GDB link map
entry for the dynamic linker to the end of the search list, where
its symbols will be found only if they are not found anywhere else.
It was suggested by Doug Rabson, though I implemented it a little
differently.
I personally would prefer to leave the dynamic linker's entry out
of the GDB search list altogether. But Doug argues that it is
handy there for such things as setting breakpoints on dlopen().
So it stays for now, at least.
Note, if we ever integrate the dynamic linker with libc (which has
several important benefits to recommend it), this whole problem
goes away.
minus the NULL pointer dereference in rev. 1.33. Also simplify
things somewhat by eliminating one traversal of the VM map entries.
Finally, eliminate calls to vm_map_{un,}lock_read() which aren't
needed here. I originally took them from procfs_map.c, but here
we know we are dealing only with the map of the current process.
only. Previously, if the device was chmoded 644, someone could open it
with the O_RDONLY flag and issue any ioctl to the device.

segments (except memory-mapped devices) in the ELF core file. This
is really nice. You get access to the data areas of all shared
libraries, and even to files that are mapped read-write.
In the future, it might be good to add a new resource limit in the
spirit of RLIMIT_CORE. It would specify the maximum sized writable
segment to include in core dumps. Segments larger than that would
be omitted. This would be useful for programs that map very large
files read/write but that still would like to get usable core dumps.
dynamic linker itself dynamically allocated. All of them are
supposed to be dynamically allocated, but we cheated before. It
made gdb unhappy under some circumstances.

The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names:
VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, VESA_132x50, VESA_132x60, VESA_800x600
The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.
vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.
