- The uid/cuid members of struct ipc_perm are now uid_t instead of unsigned
short.
- The gid/cgid members of struct ipc_perm are now gid_t instead of unsigned
short.
- The mode member of struct ipc_perm is now mode_t instead of unsigned short
(this is merely a style bug).
- The rather dubious padding fields for ABI compat with SV/I386 have been
removed from struct msqid_ds and struct semid_ds.
- The shm_segsz member of struct shmid_ds is now a size_t instead of an
int. This removes the need for the shm_bsegsz member in struct
shmid_kernel and should allow for complete support of SYSV SHM regions
>= 2GB.
- The shm_nattch member of struct shmid_ds is now an int instead of a
short.
- The shm_internal member of struct shmid_ds is now gone. The internal
VM object pointer for SHM regions has been moved into struct
shmid_kernel.
- The existing __semctl(), msgctl(), and shmctl() system call entries are
now marked COMPAT7 and new versions of those system calls which support
the new ABI are now present.
- The new system calls are assigned to the FBSD-1.1 version in libc. The
FBSD-1.0 symbols in libc now refer to the old COMPAT7 system calls.
- A simplistic framework for tagging system calls with compatibility
symbol versions has been added to libc. Version tags are added to
system calls by adding an appropriate __sym_compat() entry to
src/lib/libc/incldue/compat.h. [1]

allowing to properly save size for and report more then 2Gb sized segment
of shared memory.
This makes it possible to use > 2 Gb shared memory segments on 64bit
architectures. Please note the new BUGS section in shmctl(2) and
UPDATING note for limitations of this temporal solution.

From the original PR:
I've observed that linux apps running under the linuxulator
have a habit of leaving behind shared memory segments which
are unused, but which eventually cause the system to run
out of free segments and these apps will stop working.
ipcrm(1) currently only allows removal of unused message
queues, shared memory segments and semaphores on an individual
basis, or those having a matching (non-zero) key. However
it would often be convenient to just do a complete cleanup
of everything, usually as root.

number of pages available for shared memory from 2^31 to 2^32 on 32
bit architectures, and from 2^31 to 2^64 on 64 bit architectures.
It should be noted that this changes breaks ABI on 64 bit architectures
because the size of the shmmax, shmmin, shmmni, shmseg and shmall members
of the shminfo structure has changed.

This fixes the alignment of the fields on i386, sparc64 and amd64

that some of the values may be 64-bit in the future.
