The beri boot loaders depend on symbols defined in linker scripts or
assembly files. The boot loaders do not care about the type of these
symbols but just want to extract a pointer to them. Older versions of
GCC permitted external symbols to be declared of type 'void' and then
'&foo' generated a void pointer to the memory at the symbol's address.
However, void objects are not valid C and newer versions of GCC error if
these are used. Instead, declare these symbols as being bytes (or
an array of bytes in the cheri_sdcard_vaddr case).

Prior to r325114, bsd.init.mk was included after assignments to CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS in these Makefiles. After r325114, bare assignments (= rather than
+=) lost system-assigned default values that are needed when compiling with
an external toolchain. CFLAGS in both Makefiles already uses +=. This
commit changes LDFLAGS to use +=. While here, depend on the LDFLAGS update
in the parent Makefile.inc to set -nostdlib.

SDM editions 64 and below stated that it is enough to use MFENCe or
LFENCE to serialize x2APIC register writes. New edition 65 requires
either full serialization instruction or MFENCE;LFENCE sequence. Use
the later, FreeBSD needs serialization to ensure that writes done
before IPI request are visible to the target IPI CPU.

Enable the hardclock-based watchdog previously conditional on the
SW_WATCHDOG option whenever hardware watchdogs are not found, and
watchdogd attempts to enable the watchdog. The SW_WATCHDOG option
still causes the sofware watchdog to be enabled even if there is a
hardware watchdog. This does not change the other software-based
watchdog enabled by the --softtimeout option to watchdogd.
Note that the code to reprime the watchdog during kernel core dumps is
no longer conditional on SW_WATCHDOG. I think this was previously a bug.

Security: info leak in root-only ioctl
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
- BIO_FLUSH requests were dispatched to the disks directly from
g_mirror_start() rather than going through the mirror's I/O request
queue, so they could have been reordered with preceding writes.
Address this by processing such requests from the queue, avoiding
direct dispatch.
- Handling for collisions with synchronization requests was too
fine-grained and could cause reordering of writes. In particular,
BIO_ORDERED was not being honoured. Address this by effectively
freezing the request queue any time a collision with a synchronization
request occurs. The queue is unfrozen once the collision with the
first frozen request is over.
- The above-mentioned collision handling allowed reads to jump ahead
of writes to the same offset. Address this by freezing all request
types when a collision occurs, not just BIO_WRITEs and BIO_DELETEs.
Also add some more fail points for use in testing error handling.

Previously elfcopy used elf_getdata to obtain data from ELF sections
being copied to binary output, but elf_getdata returns data that has
been translated - that is, data is in host byte order. When the host and
target differ in endianness (e.g., converting a big-endian MIPS ELF
object to binary on an x86 host) this resulted in byte-swapped data in
certain sections such as .dynamic.
Instead use elf_rawdata to keep data in the original, target endianness.

rather than by loader(8), install the kernel and the rest of /boot to a
FAT partition and set up the appropriate petitboot configuration file
there.
The new bootconfig installer stage can do platform-dependent modifications
more complex than partition layout and installation of boot blocks and can
be used to (as here) set up some special configuration files, run efibootmgr,

This removes the direct WME info access in the ieee80211com struct and instead
provides a method of fetching the data. Right now it's a no-op but eventually
it'll turn into a per-VAP method for drivers that support it (eg iwn, iwm,
upcoming ath10k work) as things like p2p support require this kind of behaviour.
Tested:
* ath(4), STA and AP mode
TODO:
* yes, this is slightly stack size-y, but it is an important first step
to get drivers migrated over to a sensible WME API. A lot of per-phy things
need to be converted to per-VAP before P2P, 11ac firmware, etc stuff shows up.
The original bug describes it best:
When an absolute time is specified to shutdown, the program's
behavior depends on whether that time has passed during the
current calendar day. POLA would suggest that for shutdown,
whose time argument is always supposed to be in the future,
absolute times specified without a specific date should refer
to the next occurrence of that time, rather than erroring out
if that time has already passed during the current day.

On a load where single anonymous object consumes almost all memory on
the large system, swapout code executes the iteration over the
corresponding object page queue for long time, owning the map and
object locks. This blocks pagedaemon which tries to lock the object,
and blocks other threads in the process in vm_fault() waiting for the
map lock.
Handle the issue by terminating the deactivation loop if we executed
too long and by yielding at the top level in vm_daemon.

lot of code that reimplements base FreeBSD functionality, diminishing
the chances it still works. Without hardware to teset it on, or
prospects of obtaining such hardware and without vendor support, it's

It came into the tree with the project/mips merge 8 years ago. At the
time, it was hard to find a board with enough RAM to run. Now FreeBSD
requires at least 2x the RAM it did then. No changes have happened to
this port apart from API churn and license tagging since then. It ran
OK at the time it was committed, but no sightings in the wild have
happened since shortly after it was committed.
https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Adm5120_devices lists a bunch of
boards that were available 5 years ago (but are no longer
available). The beefiest one had only 64MB of RAM which is too
small. The Mirktik RB1xx never had more than 32MB.
