We will soon remove the BSD_CRTBEGIN option (and will use the new CRT
files always) as part of the GCC 4.2.1 removal. Right now BSD_CRTBEGIN
works everywhere but sparc64; add a reference to the PR in case anyone
stumbles across this and is looking for more information.
The man page incorrectly described the use of the"len" argument, which
is updated to the number of bytes copied and not reduced by the number
of bytes copied.
This is a content change.
Add some diagnostic output.
This works around the fact that buildworld calls cleandir in libexec
with the wrong MACHINE_ARCH (i386 on amd64) when the OBJ directory is empty.

Alter bsd.compat.mk to set MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH when included
directly so MD paths in Makefiles work. In the process centralize
setting them in LIBCOMPATWMAKEENV.
Alter .PATH and CFLAGS settings in work when the Makefile is included.
While here only support LIB32 on supported platforms rather than always
enabling it and requiring users of MK_LIB32 to filter based
TARGET/MACHINE_ARCH.
The net effect of this change is to make Makefile.libcompat only build
compatability libraries.
Changes relative to r354449:
Correct detection of the compiler type when bsd.compat.mk is used
outside Makefile.libcompat. Previously it always matched the clang
case.
Set LDFLAGS including the linker emulation for mips where -m32 seems to
be insufficent.

GCC 4.2.1 is being removed before FreeBSD 13, as are some other
components required by FreeBSD/sparc64. Contemporary GCC does not build
and there is currently no indication that anyone is going to address
these issues.

confirming a removal of these scripts on 2019/10/31, due to significant work
needed to bring this into the modern world and nobody having done this work
in the past couple of years. No objections or proposed work was raised in
response to these postings. The tinyware may see a resurrection into a

Replace explicit TARGET_* variables with COMPAT_* versions defined based
on where the file is being included.
Also, require that bsd.compat.mk be included directly. It's not going to
be widely used so always loading it in bsd.prog.mk doesn't make sense.
Instead users can include it directly.

Summary:
Historically, we have built toolchain components such as cc, ld, etc as
statically linked executables. One of the reasons being that you could
sometimes save yourself from botched upgrades, by e.g. recompiling a
"known good" libc and reinstalling it.
In this day and age, we have boot environments, virtual machine
snapshots, cloud backups, and other much more reliable methods to
restore systems to working order. So I think the time is ripe to flip
this default, and link the toolchain components dynamically, just like
almost all other executables on FreeBSD.
Maybe at some point they can even become PIE executables by default! :)

The change is for the example in textdump.4 and the default ddb.conf.
First of all, doadump now requires an argument and it won't do a
textdump if the argument is not 'true'.
And 'textdump dump' is more idiomatic anyway.
For what it's worth, ddb 'dump' command seems to always request a vmcore
dump even if a textdump was requested earlier, e.g., by 'textdump set'.
Finally, ddb 'call' command is not documented.

NetGDB(4) is a component of a system using a panic-time network stack to
remotely debug crashed FreeBSD kernels over the network, instead of
traditional serial interfaces.
There are three pieces in the complete NetGDB system.
First, a dedicated proxy server must be running to accept connections from
both NetGDB and gdb(1), and pass bidirectional traffic between the two
protocols.
Second, the NetGDB client is activated much like ordinary 'gdb' and
similarly to 'netdump' in ddb(4) after a panic. Like other debugnet(4)
clients (netdump(4)), the network interface on the route to the proxy server
must be online and support debugnet(4).
Finally, the remote (k)gdb(1) uses 'target remote <proxy>:<port>' (like any
other TCP remote) to connect to the proxy server.
The NetGDB v1 protocol speaks the literal GDB remote serial protocol, and
uses a 1:1 relationship between GDB packets and sequences of debugnet
packets (fragmented by MTU). There is no encryption utilized to keep
debugging sessions private, so this is only appropriate for local
segments or trusted networks.

Add a 'X -s <server> -c <client> [-g <gateway>] -i <interface>' subroutine
to the generic debugnet code. The imagined use is both netdump, shown here,
and NetGDB (vaporware). It uses the ddb(4) lexer, with some new extensions,
to parse out IPv4 addresses.
'Netdump' uses the generic debugnet routine to load a configuration and
start a dump, without any netdump configuration prior to panic.

This allows to remove a bunch of low level code.
Also, superio(4) provides safer interaction with other drivers
that work with Super I/O configuration registers.
Tested only on PCengines APU2:

wbwd0: <Nuvoton NCT6102 (0xc4/0x53) Watchdog Timer> at WDT ldn 0x08 on superio0
The watchdog output is incorrectly wired on that system and the watchdog
does not really do it its job, but the pulse can be seen with a signal
analyzer.

Linkage is controlled by two make knobs:
WANT_COMPAT - Prefer to link against the compat ABI.
NEED_COMPAT - Link against the compat ABI or fail to build.
Supported values are "32", "soft", and "any". The latter meaning pick
the first[0] supported compat ABI.
This can be used to provide test binaries for compat ABIs or to link
ABI-specific programs.
[0] We currently support only one compat ABI at a time, but this may
change in the future and some code in this commit is structured to ease
that change.
