Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

This is in preparation for linking with LLVM's lld, which does not have
a compiled-in default output emulation. lld requires that it is
specified via the -m option, or obtained from the object file(s) being
linked.
This will also allow all build targets to share a common linker binary.

lang/gcc{48,49,5} lacks -fformat-extensions support (causing build errors, which
is what prompted r302403 to be committed). devel/amd64-gcc on the other hand
(which is used by Jenkins), has the support.
This fixes the Jenkins failure emails due to excessive warnings being produced
with "make buildkernel".

Ports versions of gcc do not have -fformat-extensions support.
This unbreaks compiling the kernel/modules with non-base gcc (4.8,

- Move the required kernel compiler flags from Makefile.arm64 to kern.mk.
- Build arm64 modules as PIC; non-PIC relocations in .o for shared object
output cannot be handled.
- Do not try to install aarch64 symlink.
- A hack for arm64 to avoid ld -r stage. See the comment for the explanation.
Some functionality is lost, like ctf handling, but hopefully will be
restored after newer linker is available.

In C mode -fms-extensions option enables anonymous structs and unions,
allowing us to use this C11 feature in kernel. Of course, clang supports
it without any extra options.

The C standard undefines behavior when signed integers overflow. The
compiler toolchain has become more adept at detecting this and taking
advantage of faster undefined behavior. At the current time this has the
unfortunate effect of the clock stopping after 24 days of uptime.
clang makes no distinction between -fwrapv and -fno-strict-overflow. gcc
does treat them differently but -fwrapv is mature in gcc and is the

of compile flag for the used compiler, and use it.
Also add something similar to kern.mk, since including bsd.sys.mk from

Note that bsd.sys.mk does not support the MK_FORMAT_EXTENSIONS knob used

a time, to allow kernels to be built with clang 3.4. Historically, it
has been advantageous to allow stable X-1 to build kernels the old
way (so long as the impact of doing so is small), and this restores
that ability.
Also, centralize the addition of ${ASM_CFLAGS.${.IMPSRC}}, place it in
kern.mk rather than kern.pre.mk so that all modules can benefit, and
give the same treatment to CFLAGS in kern.mk as well.

This has been requested several times over the past few months by several
people (including me), because gcc 4.2 just gets it wrong too often. It's
causing us to litter the code with lots of bogus initializers just to
squelch the warnings. We still have clang and coverity telling us about
uninitialized variables, and they do so more accurately.

add it in kern.mk, but only if we're using clang. While this
option is supported by both clang and gcc, in the future there
may be changes to clang which change the defaults that require
a tweak to build our kernel such that other tools in our tree
will work. Set a good example by forcing -gdwarf-2 only for
clang builds, and only if the user hasn't specified another
dwarf level already. Update UPDATING to reflect the changed
state of affairs. This also keeps us from having to update
all the ARM kernels to add this, and also keeps us from
in the future having to update all the MIPS kernels and is
one less place the user will have to know to do something
special for clang and one less thing developers will need
