probes to userland programs and libraries without also needing to link
libelf.
dtrace -G places the __SUNW_dof symbol at the beginning of the DOF (DTrace
probe and provider metdata) section in the generated object file; drti.o
now just uses this symbol to locate the section. A complication occurs
when multiple dtrace-generated object files are linked together, since the
__SUNW_dof symbol defined in each file is global. This is handled by
using objcopy(1) to convert __SUNW_dof to a local symbol once drti.o has
been linked with the generated object file. Upstream, this is done using a
linker feature not present in GNU ld.

libarchive(3) doesn't support the new liblzma API yet, but this change
allows us to enable multi-threaded xz compression.
``make release'' should now finish in half the time on a machine with
several cores and fast disks (our typical build server).
This behaviour only applies when building a release and it doesn't
affect buildworld/installworld. To disable threaded xz compression,
set XZ_THREADS=1.

update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.

This brings support for multi-threaded compression. This brings close
N times faster compression where N is the number of CPU cores.
Because of this, liblzma now depends on libthr.
Soon libarchive will be modified to use the new lzma API.

allows the user to request administrative changes to individual devices
such as attach or detaching drivers or disabling and re-enabling devices.
- Add a new /dev/devctl2 character device which uses ioctls for device
requests. The ioctls use a common 'struct devreq' which is somewhat
similar to 'struct ifreq'.
- The ioctls identify the device to operate on via a string. This
string can either by the device's name, or it can be a bus-specific
address. (For unattached devices, a bus address is the only way to
locate a device.) Bus drivers register an eventhandler to claim
unrecognized device names that the driver recognizes as a valid address.
Two buses currently support addresses: ACPI recognizes any device
in the ACPI namespace via its full path starting with "\" and
the PCI bus driver recognizes an address specification of
'pci[<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>:<func>' (identical to the PCI selector
strings supported by pciconf).
- To make it easier to cut and paste, change the PnP location string
in the PCI bus driver to output a full PCI selector string rather
than 'slot=<slot> function=<func>'.
- Add a devctl(3) interface in libdevctl which provides a wrapper around
the ioctls and is the preferred interface for other userland code.
- Add a devctl(8) program which is a simple wrapper around the requests
supported by devctl(3).
- Add a device_is_suspended() function to check DF_SUSPENDED.
- Add a resource_unset_value() function that can be used to remove a
hint from the kernel environment. This is used to clear a
hint.<driver>.<unit>.disabled hint when re-enabling a boot-time
disabled device.

use floating point hardware instructions (because all armv6/7 systems we
support have fp hardware), but it passes args using a soft-float compatible
ABI. This should give noticible performance improvement (but not as much
as using the armv6hf arch).
Some users build FreeBSD as non-root in Perforce workspaces. By default,
Perforce sets files read-only unless they're explicitly being edited.
As a result, the -f argument must be used to cp in order to override the
read-only flag when copying source files to object directories. Bare use of
'cp' should be avoided in the future.
Update all current users of 'cp' in the src tree.

raft of new warnings that appear to be on by default in clang 3.5.0.
Fix RPI-B build issues with new clang not liking the ability to pass
arbitrary flags to as, since some flags are more arbitrary (and thus
verboten) than others.
These warnings should be actually fixed in the code, but this is a
band-aide to get things (almost) building again.
Recent binutils considered the .gnu.warning.symbol section as a fatal error when
run with --fatal-warnings which makes any users of "insecure" functions from
libc failing to build with recent binutils.
Introduce a new macro: LD_FATAL_WARNINGS=no to run ld(1) with
--no-fatal-warnings for the users of "insecure" functions

settings.
The defaults become as follows:
* If the host compiler is not C++11 capable, use gcc and disable clang.
* On x86, enable clang, make it the default cc, and disable gcc.
* On little-endian ARM, enable clang, but not the full build, make it
the default cc, and disable gcc.
* On PowerPC, enable clang, but enable gcc and make that the default cc.
* On everything else, use gcc, and disable clang.
This can be amended later, if we get e.g. sparc64 or big-endian ARM
working with clang.
