real shared object and libssp_nonshared.a.
This was the last showstopper that prevented from enabling SSP for ports
by default. portmgr@ performed a buildworld which showed no significant
breakage with this patch.
Details:
On i386 for PIC objects, gcc uses the __stack_chk_fail_local hidden
symbol instead of calling __stack_chk_fail directly [1]. This happen
not only with our gcc-4.2.1 but also with the latest gcc-4.8. If you
want the very nasty details, see [2].
OTOH the problem doesn't exist on other architectures. It also doesn't
exist with Clang as the latter will somehow manage to create the
function in the object file at compile time (contrary to only
referencing it through a symbol that will be brought in at link time).
In a perfect world, when an object file is compiled with
-fstack-protector, it will be linked into a binary or a DSO with this
same flag as well, so GCC will add libssp_nonshared.a to the linker
command-line. Unfortunately, we don't control softwares in ports and we
may have such broken DSO. This is the whole point of this patch.
You can reproduce the problem on i386 by compiling a source file into an
object file with "-fstack-protector-all -fPIE" and linking it
into a binary without "-fstack-protector".
This ld script automatically proposes libssp_nonshared.a along with the
real libc DSO to the linker. It is important to understand that the
object file contained in this library will be pulled in the resulting
binary _only if_ the linker notices one of its symbols is needed (i.e.
one of the SSP symbol is missing).
A theorical performance impact could be when compiling, but my testing
showed less than 0.1% of difference.
[1] For 32-bit code gcc saves the PIC register setup by using
__stack_chk_fail_local hidden function instead of calling
__stack_chk_fail directly. See comment line 19460 in:
src/contrib/gcc/config/i386/i386.c
[2] When compiling a source file to an object file, if you use something
which is external to the compilation unit, GCC doesn't know yet if
this symbol will be inside or outside the DSO. So it expects the
worst case and routes the symbol through the GOT, which means
additional space and extra relocation for rtld(1).
Declaring a symbol has hidden tells GCC to use the optimal route (no
GOT), but on the other hand this means the symbol has to be provided
in the same DSO (namely libssp_nonshared.a).
On i386, GCC actually uses an hidden symbol for SSP in PIC objects
to save PIC register setup, as said in [1].

Based on r134760:
Reset the seek pointer to 0 when a file is successfully opened,
since otherwise the initial seek offset will contain the directory
offset of the filesystem block that contained its directory entry.
This bug was mostly harmless because typically the directory is
less than one filesystem block in size so the offset would be zero.
It did however generally break loading a kernel from the (large)
kernel compile directory.
Also reset the seek pointer when a new inode is opened in read_inode(),
though this is not actually necessary now because all callers set
it afterwards.

Store/restore the VFP registers in setjmp/longjmp on ARM EABI if VFP is
enabled in the kernel. It checks the hw.floatingpoint sysctl to see if
floating-point is available and uses this to determine if it should store
them. If it does it uses a different magic value so longjmp is able to know
if it should load them.
libusbx deprecated libusb_get_port_path and replaced it with

with merge the functions but leave out the code to save/load the VFP
registers as that requires other changes to ensure the VFP is enabled
first.
This removes storing the old fpa registers. These were never fully
supported, and the only user of this code I can find have moved to newer
CPUs which use a VFP.

I initially thought wchar_t was locale independent, but this seems to be
only the case on Linux. This means that we cannot depend on the *wc*()
routines to implement *c16*() and *c32*(). Instead, use the Citrus
libiconv that is part of libc.
I'll see if there is anything I can do to make the existing functions
somewhat useful in case the system is built without libiconv in the
nearby future. If not, I'll simply remove the broken implementations.
